  • Publication number: 20180041561
    Abstract: Implementations provide a structure for low-latency live-video streams using existing content delivery networks. An example method includes creating, at the start of a broadcast stream, a playlist for the broadcast stream that identifies at least two segment files. The content of each of the segment files is a table header. The method also includes transmitting the playlist and each of the segment files to a cache server, obtaining the video broadcast stream as a series of frames, and transmitting each frame in the series of frames to the cache server using an HTTP chunk transfer protocol, each frame being associated with, and written to, a first segment file identified in the playlist. When a frame in the broadcast stream is a break frame, the method includes transmitting an end of file marker for the first segment file and adding a video header for the break frame before it is transmitted.

  • Publication number: 20180013799
    Abstract: Implementations relate to providing selectable content items in communications. In some implementations, a method includes determining that a user is or will be participating in a communication using a device, the communication including an exchange of information with one or more other users. The method determines a set of one or more content items to be presented on the device for selection by the user, the content items derived from stored content and being related to activity performed by the user using the device or one or more other devices, and where the activity is external to the communication. The method causes a presentation of the set of content items with the device for selection by the user, and causes at least one content item selected by the user to be sent in the communication to at least one of the other users.

  • Patent number: 9808911
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing polycrystalline abrasive elements consisting of micron, sub-micron or nano-sized ultrahard abrasives dispersed in micron, sub-micron or nano-sized matrix materials. A plurality of ultrahard abrasive particles having vitreophilic surfaces are coated with a matrix precursor material in a refined colloidal process and then treated to render them suitable for sintering. The matrix precursor material can be converted to an oxide, nitride, carbide, oxynitride, oxycarbide, or carbonitride, or an elemental form thereof. The coated ultrahard abrasive particles are consolidated and sintered at a pressure and temperature at which they are crystallographically or thermodynamically stable.

  • Publication number: 20170183761
    Abstract: A superhard structure comprises a body of polycrystalline superhard material comprising a first region and a second region, the second region being adjacent an exposed surface of the superhard structure, the second region comprising a diamond material or cubic boron nitride, the density of the second region being greater than 3.4×103 kilograms per cubic metre when the second region comprises diamond material. The material(s) forming the first and second regions have a difference in coefficient of thermal expansion, the first and second regions being arranged such that this difference induces compression in the second region adjacent the exposed surface. The first/a further region has the highest coefficient of thermal expansion of the polycrystalline body and is separated from a peripheral free surface of the body of polycrystalline superhard material by the second region or one or more further regions formed of a material or materials of a lower coefficient of thermal expansion.
