Abstract: A registration request is transmitted to register a media device with a server, the registration request comprising a device identifier associated with the media device. A discovery request is caused to be issued to allow client devices previously registered with the server and connected to the first network to discover the media device, wherein the discovery request is to cause at least a subset of the client devices previously registered with the server and connected to the first network to initiate discovery of the media device without requesting permission from a user of a respective client device to initiate the discovery of the media device, wherein the at least the subset of the client devices includes two or more client devices each associated with an auto-connect status.

Abstract: A thin film on a surface of a solid substrate, including: a) spraying on the surface: —a colloidal suspension including solid nanoparticles (or colloids) of an inorganic compound dispersed in a solvent to obtain a wet layer of the colloidal suspension on the surface; or —a suspension including an inorganic compound in polymeric form in a solvent, to obtain a wet layer of the suspension of the inorganic compound in polymeric form on the surface; or —a solution or suspension of an organic polymer in a solvent, to obtain a wet layer of the solution or suspension of the organic polymer on the surface; b) drying the wet layer; c) optionally, heat-treating the wet layer that has undergone the drying step, whereby the thin film is obtained; wherein: the solvent comprises at least 95% by weight of water, and the drying is carried out in a static atmosphere.

Abstract: Implementations disclose methods and systems for facilitating an automated user login into a first application hosted by a first-screen device. A method includes detecting, by a second-screen device, a message transmitted by the first-screen device over a network; determining, based on the message, that the first application hosted by the first-screen device is requesting user authentication for the automated user login; presenting, via a second application hosted by the second-screen device, a prompt for user input indicating user acceptance of the automated user login; receiving the user input indicating the user acceptance of the automated user login; and responsive to the user input, transmitting an authentication code from the message to the server device to perform the user authentication for the automated user login into the first application.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and systems for an automatic device discovery and connection protocol via a multi-device experience server. The server may register user devices and associate them with a local network. Upon receiving a request from a media device on the local network, the server may trigger a user device to automatically discover and connect to the media device, increasing speed of discovery and connections, reducing required user control and direction, and enhancing connectivity and communications between the devices, providing new channels for interaction.

Abstract: A method for monitoring the operational condition of a tire equipping a vehicle, includes: producing, over time, representative samples of successive values assumed by a changing physical quantity, under otherwise equal conditions, with respect to the number of moles of gaseous fluid present in this tire, exploiting these samples in order to deduce from them an estimated condition of the tire, comparing it to a range of normal driving conditions, and producing an alarm in the case where the estimated condition of the tire is situated outside the range of these normal conditions. The step of exploiting the sample includes comparing the value of an indicator of dispersion of the physical quantity, such as the variance of this quantity, to a predetermined threshold value (L).
