Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure provide for an example method. The example method includes transmitting data packets to cause an interactive user interface to render on a user device. The example method can include obtaining data packets indicative of user input including a query. The query can include features associated with a chemical material or chemical material application. The example method can include parsing an index including a number of chemical materials and associated characteristics. The example method includes obtaining data packets indicative one or more chemical materials that match the features. The example method includes ranking candidate chemical materials based on associated characteristics of each respective candidate chemical material. The example method includes transmitting data packets which cause the user device to display the candidate chemical materials and the associated characteristics for each respective candidate chemical material.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to methods and pharmaceutical formulations useful in treating patients suffering from sleep apnea, including obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Treatment is effected by administering a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor to the patient in combination with an aldosterone antagonist. Formulations containing a therapeutically effective amount of a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and a therapeutically effective amount of an aldosterone antagonist are provided as well.

Abstract: Client-side transcoding of a video segment of a video into a particular version. The video streaming service determines that the video segment of the video is to be transcoded into the particular version. Rather than transcode the video segment itself, the service identifies to a client that is streaming the video that the video segment of the video is to be transcoded into the particular version. The client responds by transcoding the video segment into the particular version, and transmitting the transcoded video segment back to the video streaming service.

Abstract: A method and system for uploading a media file container from a first device to a second device are described herein, including receiving an instruction to upload the media file container and in response, reading a metadata box of the media file container to locate a track box containing information about video data in a media data box, identifying sample frames of the video data throughout a duration of the video data in the media data box using information from the track box, packaging the identified sample frames, and uploading the packaged sample frames of the video data prior to completing upload of the media file container.

Abstract: A method and system for uploading a media file container from a first device to a second device are described herein, including receiving an instruction to upload the media file container and in response, identifying a first portion of the media file container and a last portion of the media file container, each of the first and last portions having a size in bytes and including at least one box of the media file container, and uploading the first portion of the media file container and the last portion of the media file container before the intervening portions of the media file container between the first and last portions.

Abstract: A method and system for uploading a media file container from a first device to a second device are described herein, including receiving an instruction to upload the media file container and in response, reading a metadata box of the media file container to locate a track box containing information about audio data, including a size and a location of the audio data, in a media data box of the media file container, identifying the audio data in the media data box using the information from the track box, packaging the identified audio data from the media data box into an audio byte stream separate from the media data box, and uploading the audio byte stream to the second device prior to completing upload of the media file container.

Abstract: Techniques and solutions are described for executing a video processing task. A video processing task is received that includes one or more operations to be performed on a digital video file and an identifier of the digital video file. The video processing task is divided into subtasks of operations to be performed on fragments of the video, such as fragments having a particular duration. The duration can correspond to a duration used for video streaming Compared with video processing that is performed as a single task, disclosed techniques can provide improved fault tolerance, as only failed tasks need to be reprocessed. Video processing subtasks can be distributed to a plurality of workers, which can further improve fault tolerance, and can increase the computing power available for video processing, including allowing for the use of heterogenous or unreliable workers.

Abstract: A hydrogen-water separator for a fuel cell includes an upper separation chamber having a first cylindrical sidewall defining an inlet port and a lower collection chamber configured to collect separated water. The collection chamber has a bottom and a second cylindrical sidewall defining a drain port disposed above the bottom. A divider is disposed between the separation chamber and the collection chamber. The divider spans the first cylindrical sidewall and defining one or more openings. An outlet tube is arranged vertically in the separation chamber and having an entrance that is disposed above the divider and below the inlet port.

Abstract: Pneumatically supported towers for low gravity applications are disclosed herein. In one aspect, an inflatable tower for use in vacuum environments can have a membrane configured to support a load when inflated with an inflation gas to a pressures less than 100,000 pascals and greater than 0.01 pascal. The inflation gas can be chosen to have a sufficiently low boiling temperature at the inflation pressure of the membrane that the gas will not condense to a liquid or solid within a defined range of temperatures in which the tower is designed to operate. The membrane can be configured to be packaged for transport in deflated condition and rolled onto cylinders from which the membrane can be later unfurled and inflated as part of the tower inflation process. The membrane can be further configured to progressively inflate beginning at a bottom or lowest level of the membrane during the tower inflation process.

Abstract: A magnetic coupler for attaching a mattress to a bed foundation includes a magnet assembly, a target assembly, and a shunt. The magnet assembly includes a housing and a magnet, wherein the housing is configured to couple the magnet to the mattress. The target assembly is configured to couple a target to the foundation. The shunt is disposed within the housing of the magnet assembly or in the mattress. The magnet assembly and the target assembly are releasably attached when the magnet is magnetically coupled to the target.

Abstract: A bed can include one or more connectors for connecting components of the bed. For example, a frame can include a fastening mechanism for releasably connecting a cross-member to a longitudinal support. Another example includes connectors for connecting and aligning a foundation with a frame.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for directing radiant energy to permanently shadowed or occasionally shadowed regions such as on the floors of craters or in valleys in lunar polar regions to provide illumination, thermal power, electricity, communications, and other services. Embodiments of the systems include reflector elements to provide diffuse illumination, focused illumination, and thermal power, structures to support the reflectors and other elements, communications devices for varied signal types, and methods for installing the system. The structure can be compactly folded and delivered to be automatically installed.
