Abstract: A durable holographically imaged paper, plastic film or other product is produced by embossing the image into a thermoplastic coating thereon which comprises plastic pigment particles. The plastic pigment particles are preferably hollow but may be solid. The coating preferably also comprises a thermoplastic polymer or copolymer, for example a copolymer of vinyl acetate and versatic acid, an acrylic polymer, a styrene-acrylic or other acrylic copolymer, a vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate-ethylene terpolymer, a polyvinyl acetate or a polyvinyl alcohol. Preferably, the polymer or copolymer has a glass transition temperature (Tg value) in the range 20° C. to 110° C. The thermoplastic coating may also contain inorganic pigments, for example precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), ground natural calcium carbonate, or kaolin or other clays, and/or a starch binder. Embossing is preferably carried out directly on the thermoplastic coating by means of a holographically engraved shim.

Abstract: A block-request streaming system provides for improvements in the user experience and bandwidth efficiency of such systems, typically using an ingestion system that generates data in a form to be served by a conventional file server (HTTP, FTP, or the like), wherein the ingestion system intakes content and prepares it as files or data elements to be served by the file server. A client device can be adapted to take advantage of the ingestion process. The client device might be configured to optimize use of resources, given the information available to it from the ingestion system. This may include configurations to determine the sequence, timing and construction of block requests based on monitoring buffer size and rate of change of buffer size, use of variable sized requests, mapping of block requests to underlying transport connections, flexible pipelining of requests, and/or use of whole file requests based on statistical considerations.

Abstract: A method of encoding data for transmission from a source to a destination over a communications channel is provided. The method operates on an ordered set of input symbols and includes generating a plurality of redundant symbols from the input symbols based on linear constraints. The method also includes generating a plurality of output symbols from a combined set of symbols including the input symbols and the redundant symbols based on linear combinations, wherein at least one of the linear constraints or combinations is over a first finite field and at least one other of the linear constraints or combinations is over a different second finite field, and such that the ordered set of input symbols can be regenerated to a desired degree of accuracy from any predetermined number of the output symbols.

Abstract: Framing techniques for an improved radio link protocol used in a wireless communication system, such as EV-DO. In one embodiment scheduling of the generation of repair symbols encoded to be transmitted along with source data is described. In another embodiment acknowledgment messages from a receiver are used to control the trailing edge of the protection window offered by the repair symbols. In another embodiment, non-acknowledgment messages from a receiver are used to control the generation of extra repair symbols. In another embodiment, a length field is used to avoid transmission of padding bytes over the air. In yet another embodiment, a symbol auxiliary field is appended to source symbols to indicate the padding bytes needed for symbol aligning thus avoiding the transmission of padding bytes over the air.

Abstract: Combining parallel Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) connections and pipelining overcomes an impact of increasing Round Trip Time (RTT) by varying in real time the number of parallel connections and pipelined requests such that the number of outstanding requests is minimal and the link remains fully utilized. Optimal construction and scheduling of requests and connections in an HTTP stack improves page load time and also provides for greater responsiveness to changes in object priorities. Multi-homing and mobility at the application layer for HTTP are addressed. Multi-homing provides for simultaneous use of multiple interfaces, for example WWAN and WLAN interfaces which improves download time, especially in the case that the available bandwidth the interfaces is of the same order of magnitude. Mobility provides for switching connections as the device moves. In combination they provide for smoother mobility. Mobility can be provided this way without server or network support.

Abstract translation: 并行超文本传输​​协议（HTTP）连接和流水线结合克服了增加往返时间（RTT）的影响，通过实时变化并行连接和流水线请求的数量，使得未完成请求的数量最小并且链路仍然被充分利用 。 HTTP堆栈中的请求和连接的最佳构建和调度可以提高页面加载时间，并且还可以更好地响应对象优先级的更改。 解决HTTP应用层的多归属和移动性问题。 多归属提供同时使用多个接口，例如改善下载时间的WWAN和WLAN接口，特别是在接口具有相同数量级的可用带宽的情况下。 移动性在设备移动时提供交换连接。 结合起来，它们提供更流畅的移动性。 可以以这种方式提供移动性，无需服务器或网络支持。
