Abstract:
A tattoo chair includes a backrest, a seat, a brace for supporting the seat, and a base for allowing the chair to stand stably. The lower end of the backrest is rotatably attached to the inner side of the seat. A supporting fixed plate is provided under the bottom surface of the seat. At least one fixed gear rack is mounted from top to bottom on the rear surface of the backrest. A supporting rod is provided on the supporting fixed plate. One end of the supporting rod is rotatably attached to the supporting fixed plate, and the other end is put into one of grooves of the gear rack on the rear surface of the backrest.
Abstract:
A method and system for transmitting and viewing video content is described. In one aspect a plurality of versions of 3D video content may be generated. Each version of the 3D video content may include a different viewing depth profile for the 3D video content. Data representative of a viewing distance between a viewer of 3D video content and a device may be determined. Based upon the received data, a particular version of the 3D video content of the plurality of versions having a viewing depth profile corresponding to the viewing distance may be determined.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a portable folding tattoo chair comprising a left part (100) and a right part (200), the left part (100) of the chair comprising a left cushion (101), a left fixing plate (102), a left fixing frame (103) and a left footing support (104); the right part (200) of the chair comprising a right cushion (201), a right fixing plate (202), a right fixing frame (203) and a right footing support (204); the left part (100) and the right part (200) of the chair being rotatable so as to be folded together, the left footing support (104) and the right footing support (204) being rotatable to be folded up. The tattoo chair in unfolding states may provide various auxiliary modes for different tattoo positions. The chair can also be folded after use to save space and transportation cost. The chair can be used as a pushcart to add functionality.
Abstract:
A method and device for identifying degradation in service quality for a wireless media service. The wireless media service has a known expected packet generation rate, which may be determined by the device based upon the codec and payload size selected on initiating the media service. At a receiving device, the packets actually received by the device from the other termination point are counted over a time period, and this number is compared with the number of packets that were expected based upon the known packet generation rate. From this comparison a packet loss rate may be determined. If the packet loss rate exceeds a threshold level, then the device may issue a user alert, terminate the service, or take other action. The threshold level may be established based upon a packet loss rate corresponding to a significant degree of service quality degradation.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses and systems for inserting advertisement segments into trick content. Advertisement segments present in the original video content are extracted from the video content and merged with other navigation segements to generate associated trick content. The advertisement segment may be inserted into the trick files may be displayed at their normal playback speed, a different apparent playback speed, or displayed in a different direction. Additionally, alternative content of the advertisement segment may be inserted into the advertisement segment to provide specialized versions of the advertisement content to be displayed in trick content mode, or the content may be completely different fro the original advertisement content, such as session specific advertisement content or even user specific advertisement content based on user preferences.
Abstract:
A magnetic storage system includes a disk, a head, an actuator, a read channel, and a main controller. The main controller causes the head to read a data block of a selected track of the disk at each of a plurality of fixed offsets from a center of the selected track. The main controller samples a gain in the read channel a plurality of times while the head is reading the data block at each of the plurality of fixed offsets to obtain a plurality of gain samples for each of the plurality of fixed offsets. If the data block was written off-track with a non-constant offset, the main controller determines an approximate starting position and an approximate rate of change of an off-track deviation of the data block based on the plurality of gain samples for the plurality of fixed offsets.
Abstract:
Scheduled data is received and distributed in a system, such as a DSDD system. A schedule director receives a schedule representing inventory of data available from a data source and desired times for distributing the data. The schedule director coordinates with one or more resource managers that maintain information regarding resource utilization in the system. The schedule director negotiates with the resource managers to reserve resources in the system for receiving the scheduled data from the data source, storing the received data, and/or preparing the received data for delivery to a user. Resources are reserved based on the schedule and the resources determined to be available. The resources are reserved to perform at least one task, independent of other resources in the system.
Abstract:
A photovoltaic nanostructure according to one embodiment of the present invention includes an electrically conductive nanocable coupled to a first electrode, a second electrode extending along at least two sides of the nanocable, and a photovoltaically active p-n junction formed between the nanocable and the second electrode. A photovoltaic array according to one embodiment includes a plurality of photovoltaic nanostructures as recited above. Methods for forming nanostructures are also presented.
Abstract:
A WiFi system with high-speed mobile voice and video data communication includes a plurality of mobile devices and a WiFi base station connected to a WiFi network. The WiFi base station transmits and receives packets to/from a mobile device within a time frame. The time frame is repeated at a predetermined period of time and divided into a plurality of variable-size time slots, each slot being assigned to a mobile device. The WiFi base station is based on an IEEE 802.11 standard to transmit/receive the packets respectively. Accordingly, all the WiFi base stations can use a single channel such that the handover between the WiFi base stations can be performed at high speed.
