Abstract: In a presentation system, a source device provides uncompressed presentation content in an HDMI format. A first conversion device converts the uncompressed presentation content to an uncompressed second format and entirely transmits the uncompressed presentation content in the second format along an electrically conductive member. A second conversion device receives the uncompressed presentation content in the second format from the conductive member and converts the uncompressed presentation content to the HDMI format. For example, the conductive member may be that of a coaxial cable.
Abstract: An SOA solution architecture generation method and system. The method includes retrieving by a computing system, a service model and an SOA solution architecture model. The computing system retrieves and loads a configuration file comprising mapping data. The mapping data comprises data associating elements of the service model to architectural layers of the SOA solution. Each element is processed. The computing system identifies each architectural layer that corresponds to an associated element based on the mapping data. Each element is placed in an associated layer of the architectural layers. The computing system generates a UML model. The UML model comprises each element in an associated layer of the architectural layers. The computing system loads the UML model.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for bipolar servo marks writing with high output. The method includes providing a servo write head having first and second write gaps; and applying a varying current comprising either (i) abrupt changes in current in combination with current ramps or (ii) patterns of high-frequency current pulses before and after writing servo marks to a medium proximate to and moving past the first and second write gaps. The apparatus includes a bipolar servo write driver configured to generate a varying bipolar current signal having both negative and positive polarity currents and a servo write head having a first write gap and second write gap spaced apart, the varying current signal comprising either (i) abrupt changes in current in combination with current ramps or (ii) patterns of high-frequency current pulses before and after low-frequency pulses and a component to move a medium proximate to and past the first and second write gaps.

Abstract: A profile management method and system. The method includes retrieving by a computer processor from a user of social network, a user request for generating a profile. The computer processor retrieves user data and an encrypted master security token comprising an identifier associated with the user. The computer processor generates the profile with the user data and associates the profile with the encrypted master security token. The computer processor receives from the social network a request associated with a membership to the social network. The computer system adds communication data to the encrypted master security token and enables access to the profile based on the encrypted master security token. The computer processor transmits to said first social network, a copy of the profile.

Abstract: A method and system for monitoring network traffic by estimating an L1 difference. Sketches in the form (x, ft(x)) are received from first and second network devices, where x indicates a source-destination pair, and ft(x) indicates an amount of information transmitted via the network device from the source to the destination in a time period t. An L1 difference between ft(x) values is estimated by determining an L0 value of a data stream resulting from the first network device inserting elements of a first set of distinct items as insertions into the data stream and from the second network device inserting elements of a second set as deletions from the data stream. Determining the L0 value includes processing updates to ranges of the data stream. Based on the L1 difference, a pattern of the network traffic is determined.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a coaxial cable connector compression tool including an actuator and a body in operable communication with the actuator. The coaxial cable connector compression tool includes a first set of jaws operably associated with the body and dimensioned to receive and engage a first coaxial cable connector, the first set of jaws including a first recess and a second set of jaws operably associated with the body and dimensioned to receive and engage a second coaxial cable connector having different dimensions than the first coaxial cable connector, the second set of jaws including a second recess, wherein the first recess and the second recess reside on a single plane and extend in non-parallel directions. Further, the actuator is configured to trigger compression of both the first and second set of jaws at the same time.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a door closer comprising a cylinder body and a telescopic rod, wherein a one-way air intake valve is provided in the cylinder body to take in air in one way in an internal cavity of the cylinder body when the door is opened. The internal cavity of the cylinder body is divided into two automatically pressurizeable and automatically compensatable air cavities. When the door is opened or closed, the air inside the internal cavity of the cylinder body flows cyclically in the two air cavities. The door closer ensures air substantially flows cyclically in a cylinder body, reduces pollution caused by dusts in air into and out of the cylinder body to the lubricant oil in the cylinder wall, guarantees the lubricating effect of the lubricant oil, enables the door closer to operate normally and effectively prolong the service life of the door closer.
Abstract: An audio jack connector device having an audio jack and a connector, the audio jack having a socket adapted to receive the tip end of the audio plug and the connector adapted to engage a cable, wherein the connector is adapted to mechanically and electrically connect by compression the coaxial cable to the audio jack.
Abstract: A multimedia playing device includes a central processing unit, a plurality of sensors electrically coupled to the central processing unit, and an output unit electrically coupled to the central processing unit. The plurality of sensors are operated together with the central processing unit, such that after the sensors detect different hand movements of a user, the central processing unit reads and determines the hand movement and transmits related control signals to the output unit according to different hand movements to achieve the effects of using a hand posture to control related functional movements and enhancing the convenience of using the multimedia playing device.
