Abstract:
The techniques described herein relate to methods, apparatus, and computer readable media configured to adaptively process video data. Media presentation data is associated with video data encoded in a plurality of formats, each format associated with a different bit rate. The media presentation data is generated to include first data indicative of whether the media presentation data is for static video data or dynamic video data, and second data indicative of at least one location reference to a location of a content update to the video data. A client determines, from the media presentation data, the first data and the second data, and downloads a media segment of the video data based on the first data and the second data.
Abstract:
A ballast circuit including a transformer and a preheating circuit is provided. The transformer provides an output voltage to a lamp. The transformer comprises a primary winding and a secondary winding. The primary winding includes a first pair of windings connected in series with one another, wherein one winding of the first pair of windings operates as a preheating primary windings during preheating. The secondary winding includes a second pair of windings for cathode heating during preheating. The preheating circuit supplies a preheating current from an output of the secondary windings of the transformer to a cathode of the lamp to preheat the lamp cathode.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the claimed subject matter provide for methods and systems of QoS negotiation for services like network assisted adaptive streaming. The QoS reservation determination is based on both a QoS policy of a network service provider and a QoS policy of a content service provider. For example, the content service provider provides a video streaming service. The QoS reservation can include a guaranteed bit rate (GBR) and/or a maximum bit rate (MBR). The QoS reservation can be used to select a representation of a media file for adaptive streaming.

An apparatus to establish communication with a trusted execution environment includes a processor component, a co-processor component for executing the trusted execution environment, a host operating system component for execution by the processor component and including one or more application components, a mailbox array component for execution by the co-processor to store one or more mailbox components, each mailbox component being associated with a mailbox identification number, and a mailbox firewall component for execution by the co-processor component to facilitate communication between the one or more application components and the one or more mailbox components. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
For applications with very small data activities, connection of a UE to a wireless network for sending or receiving such small data traffic increments via conventional connection set-up processes is quite inefficient in terms of spectral resource utilization. The invention provides a new connectionless methodology for transmission of such small data increments between a UE and a serving eNB. In particular, the invention methodology contemplates identifying a set of preamble sequences among the pool of preamble sequences provided for access requests from a UE to an eNB via the Random Access Channel as corresponding to a request from the UE for access to transmit an increment of data smaller than a predetermined threshold data size. When a UE has data traffic to transmit of a size smaller than the predetermined threshold size, it selects one of the preamble sequences in the identified set and sends an access request, using the selected preamble sequence, to a serving eNB via the Random Access Channel. Upon receipt of the access request from the UE, the eNB determines an appropriate RF resource for the data increment sought to be transmitted by the UE, based on the use of the selected preamble sequence sent by the UE, and schedules an uplink connection for the transmission of that data increment by the UE.
Abstract:
A test sensor includes a body, a first conductive trace, a second conductive trace, and a third conductive trace. The body includes a first region that has a fluid-receiving area, a second region separate from the first region, and a first temperature sensing interface disposed at or adjacent to the fluid-receiving area. The fluid-receiving area receives a sample. The first trace is disposed on the body, and at least a portion of the first trace is disposed in the first region. The second and third traces are disposed on the body. The third trace extends from the first to the second regions. The third trace is connected to the first trace at the first temperature sensing interface. The third trace includes a different material than the first trace. A first thermocouple is formed at the first temperature sensing interface. The thermocouple provides temperature data to determine an analyte concentration.

Abstract:
A system for a meter configured to determine an analyte concentration of a fluid sample includes a housing and a temperature sensor disposed within the housing. The system also includes a processor configured to receive temperature data from the temperature sensor upon the meter entering one of a charge state and a discharge state. The processor is further configured to predict a temperature value that approximates the ambient temperature outside of the housing. The predicted temperature value is based on historical temperature data received from the temperature sensor such that the predicted temperature value remains constant if a recently received temperature value remains within predetermined upper and lower temperature thresholds and the recently received temperature value exceeds the at least one predicted temperature value.
Abstract:
An improved mobile electronic device and associated method enable the identification of previously-entered textual objects in one or more custom wordlists to identify possible transliterations of textual inputs. Such textual objects can be stored as data in a Pinyin custom wordlist if it is in the nature of Standard Mandarin characters or it can be stored in a BoPoMoFo custom wordlist if it is in the nature of Traditional Chinese characters, or it can be stored in both if it is in the nature of both Standard Mandarin characters and Traditional Chinese characters.
