Title: Adaptive streaming for digital content distribution
Inventor: PARK ANTHONY NEAL
IPC: G06F13/14
Filed: 2010-07-23
Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for adapting playback bit rate to available delivery bandwidth in a content delivery system comprising a content server and a content player. A content player periodically estimates whether a given playback bit rate can feasibly provide complete playback for a given title assuming currently available bandwidth. If playback becomes unfeasible at a current bit rate assuming currently available bandwidth, then the content player adapts the bit rate downward until a feasible bit rate is achieved. If playback is feasible using a higher bit rate, then the content player may adapt the bit rate upward.

Abstract: Headgear is provided having one or more electrical devices, such as light sources mounted thereto. The headgear includes a power source for providing power to the electrical devices and a motion sensing device, such that any operating electrical devices are shut off if the hat does not move within a predetermined time period to conserve the life of the power source. In one form, the motion sensing device is operable to reset a shut-off timer when movement of the headgear is detected by the motion sensor so that the light sources, for example, are not turned off when the headgear is worn with the light sources turned on. In this manner, the shut-off timer is constantly being reset when the headgear is worn to keep the shut-off timer from timing out and turning the light sources off.

Inventor: HEID OLIVER
IPC: H05H7/22
Filed: 2011-04-04
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for injecting charged particles into the first cavity resonator of an RF particle accelerator. An electrode is provided at the entrance to the first cavity resonator, which electrode is connected to a DC voltage source and generates a potential well that accelerates the particles leaving an ion source towards the first cavity resonator. As a result of the ion source and the accelerator path, i.e. more particularly the cavity resonators of the accelerator path, lying at a common potential, more particularly earth potential, the electrostatic potential well does not contribute to the overall energy of the particles, the overall acceleration effect is brought about by voltage induction in the RF resonator and the DC voltage source is not loaded by the beam current, and so the latter need not be precisely regulated or powerful.
