Abstract: A system and method for managing raw files are disclosed. A plurality of image files associated with one or more raw files that include respective metadata are evaluated. A set of one or more of the images files are grouped together based on matching the respective metadata. An asset file corresponding to the raw file and the grouped set of the image files are generated. The asset file are retrieved in response to a request from a user device. At least one of the image files in the grouped set are selected and a display of the selected image file is generated for rendering.

Abstract: A rotatable probe cover dispenser for an ear thermometer comprises a base having a probe cover basin, and a rotatable seat having at least one rotating shaft pivotally coupling the rotatable seat to the base and enabling the rotatable seat to rotate with respect to the base. The rotatable seat has a probe cover cartridge assembly rotating together with the rotatable seat and having a probe cover chamber accommodating probe covers. The probe covers fall out from a probe cover dispensing opening. The base has a slide track assembly arranged above a probe cover basin and cooperating with the rotatable seat to enable the probe cover cartridge assembly to slide to a position above the probe cover basin. Thereby, the probe covers inside the probe cover cartridge assembly can be dispensed to the probe cover basin.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the methods and apparatuses detect content and information related to the content; utilize the content at a current sound level; and modify the current sound level based on the information and the content.

Abstract: Apparatus and systems for implementing simulated environments are disclosed. Remote implementation of function calls is also disclosed. A simulated environment apparatus may include a plurality of simulation servers coupled to each other over data transfer links. The simulation servers may be configured to perform computations related to simulating an environment. A plurality of view servers may be coupled to the simulation servers over data transfer links. Each view server is configured to facilitate interaction between a plurality of client devices and the simulation servers. Each user device may control an avatar within the simulated environment. A simulated environment system may include a data center configured to communicate over a network with one or more remotely distributed client devices.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the methods and apparatuses detect a first right corresponding to a first license and a second right corresponding to a second license; compare a first status corresponding to the first right to a second status corresponding to the second right; and determine compatibility between the first license and the second license based on matching the first status and the second status.
