摘要:
A method and apparatus for the delivery of digital data to an end user (902) from a network (900) comprising at least two different data sources (912a, 912b) is disclosed. Each of the at least two different data sources (912a, 912b) can deliver the digital data to the end network at at least one parameter and the data sources (912a, 912b) have substantially identical copies of the digital data comprising portions and are connected to the end user (902). The method comprises receiving (1011) a list of a subset of the at least two data sources (912a, 912b) and selecting (1012) on the basis of the list one or more of the subset of at least two data sources (912a, 912b). At least a portion of the digital data from the selected ones of the at least two data sources (912a, 912b) is delivered to the end user (902). The parameter for the delivery of the digital data to the end user (902) is monitored and the configuration (913) of the selected ones of the at least two data sources (912a, 912b) is adjusted (1015) on the basis of the monitored parameter such that a combined configuration of the configurations (913) of the selected ones of the at least two data sources (912a, 912b) matches the specification (905).

Social networking systems allow users to initiate a deal associated with a provider. A user sends a deal proposal to the social networking system and provides information describing connections of the user that are potential participants of the deal. The social networking system may propose potential participants of the deal to the user. The social networking system determines whether the proposal is acceptable to the provider. The social networking system may send a request to the provider to determine whether the deal is acceptable to the provider. If the proposal is acceptable to the provider, information indicating acceptance of the proposal is sent to the user. If the proposal is not acceptable to the provider, a modified deal proposal may be sent to the user.
摘要:
Apparatus and an accompanying method for use in a conventional dynamic material testing system to advantageously provide enhanced self-resistive specimen heating. Specifically, a fixture (400) is added to the system. The fixture has two supporting arms (201, 451), each holding one of two opposing and conductive anvil assemblies (200, 453). The fixture applies adequate force to each arm sufficient to hold a specimen (466) in position between the anvil assemblies and establish a good abutting electrical contact between the specimen and each assembly but without exerting enough force to deform the specimen as it is being heated. Separate opposing and existing coaxially-oriented shafts (406, 408) controllably strike both arms and move the anvils together, hence squeezing the specimen and generating each deformation therein. Electrical heating current is controllably applied through the support arms, the anvils and the specimen in order to self-resistively heat the specimen in a predefined temporal manner with respect to the specimen deformations.

A device comprising a media validation platform for identifying and detecting defects on a media disc is provided. The media validation platform may include: a media transport system including a guide portion including a cushion medium and a drive portion including a belt drive for conveying a media disc along a path of motion through the media validation platform; a slot providing an opening to the media validation platform and a guide to introduce the media disc to the media transport system; a quality control station comprising a light source, a light diffuser, and a camera for measuring an intensity of light from the light source passing through the light diffuser and a media layer of the at least one media disc; and a media identification station comprising a scanner assembly, the scanner assembly adapted to obtain data from a bar code of the at least one media disc.
摘要:
A high-speed I/O interface that allows a number of native I/O formats to be encapsulated into PCIe Vendor Defined Messages (“VDMs”) for transfer over a single physical medium, preferably optical, and is thus referred to as the converged I/O (“CIO”) interface. The devices can be designed to provide synchronization (time value, frequency, and phase) among a network of routers, with signal paths of several meters, thereby providing an accurate time base suitable for exacting audiovisual applications.

This invention relates uses of components of plant-like metabolic pathways not including psbA or PPi phosphofructokinase and not generally operative in animals or encoded by the plastid DNA, to develop compositions that interfere with Apicomplexan growth and survival. Components of the pathways include enzymes, transit peptides and nucleotide sequences encoding the enzymes and peptides, or promoters of these nucleotide sequences to which antibodies, antisense molecules and other inhibitors are directed. Diagnostic and therapeutic reagents and vaccines are developed based on the components and their inhibitors.

A method for color-revitalizing a color tone of hair that involves applying a color-revitalizing composition to hair previously dyed with an oxidative hair dye composition. The color-revitalizing composition, which has a color determined by the color of the oxidative hair dye composition and contains at least one direct dye, revitalizes the color tone originally obtained by after dyeing with the oxidative hair dye composition.
