Abstract: A method of synchronizing playback of audio data sent over a first wireless network from an audio source to a wireless speaker package that is adapted to play the audio data. The method includes comparing a first time period over which audio data was sent over the first wireless network to a second time period over which the audio data was received by the wireless speaker package, and playing the received audio data on the wireless speaker package over a third time period that is related to the comparison of the first and second time periods.

Abstract: A method is provided for managing a number of active wireless data streams in a device. An operating band of the device is detected, wherein the device is capable of simultaneously supporting Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communications by time sharing the operating band between the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communications. A request is detected for simultaneously operating in at least two of a Wi-Fi communication mode, a Bluetooth source communication mode, or a Bluetooth sink communication mode. In response to detecting the request, only two of the Wi-Fi communication mode, the Bluetooth source communication mode, or the Bluetooth sink communication mode are selected.

Abstract: A method for dynamically changing the master audio playback device of a set that includes at least two audio playback devices, wherein one audio playback device of the set is a set master audio playback device that controls the play of audio data by at least one other slave audio playback device of the set. A first slave audio playback device receives its selection as a new recipient of audio data and, in response, the first slave audio playback device is designated as a new set master audio playback device and the set master audio playback device is designated as a new slave audio playback device. The new set master audio playback device controls the play of audio by the new slave audio playback device.

Abstract: A method is provided for an audio output device connected to a network to perform compatibility check. The audio output device discovers another audio output device connected to the network and transmits a first message to the other audio output device for checking whether the other audio output device is compatible with the audio output device. In response to the first message, the audio output device receives a second message from the other audio output device indicating whether the other audio output device is compatible with the audio output device. The audio output device, based on the second message, determines whether the other audio output device is compatible with the audio output device.

Abstract: A method of synchronizing playback of audio data sent over a first wireless network from an audio source to a wireless speaker package that is adapted to play the audio data. The method includes comparing a first time period over which audio data was sent over the first wireless network to a second time period over which the audio data was received by the wireless speaker package, and playing the received audio data on the wireless speaker package over a third time period that is related to the comparison of the first and second time periods.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for degumming a vegetable oil, comprising a. contacting an oil-water mixture comprising a crude vegetable oil comprising phospholipids with an enzyme having a phospholipase activity, wherein the oil-water mixture comprises an aqueous solution having a molal ionic strength of between 0.001 and 0.5 mol/kg; b. separating an oil-water mixture into an oil composition and an aqueous composition; and, c. washing the oil composition with an acid, wherein a degummed vegetable is produced.

Abstract: A method for changing types of streamed content for an audio system in which a first type of streamed content that has a first signal type is received at the audio system and arrangements are made to begin receiving at the audio system a second type of streamed content, where the second type of streamed content has a second signal type that is different than the first signal type.
