Abstract: A vapor deposition reactor and associated method are disclosed that increase the lifetime and productivity of a filament-based resistive-heated vapor deposition system. The reactor and method provide for heating the filament while permitting the filament to move as it expands under the effect of increasing temperature while limiting the expanding movement of the filament to an amount that prevents the expanding movement of the filament from creating undesired contact with any portions of the reactor.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for improving real-time on-demand multimedia streaming for display on computers with different hardware and software constraints. The methods and systems improve multimedia streaming by using a media player with a custom-sized frame, a predefined pixel aspect ratio, a predefined frame-rate, a progressive order, a predefined number of reference frames, a predefined average variable bit rate, and a predefined maximum variable bit rate. The methods and systems also utilize one or more servers with flash media and buffer the media content from the servers to load and start streaming with substantially no load time delay.

Abstract: Systems and methods for storing, editing and producing multimedia productions on a server. A system includes one or more servers containing a storage device and a plurality of tools allowing users to store and edit multimedia productions using a browser on a client. Additional system tools render the edited multimedia data into a multimedia production that is distributed using a real time streaming tool. Multimedia productions are created through the method of uploading and storing multi-media data onto a content library, editing the stored multimedia data, rendering the edited multimedia data into a viewable multi-media production and providing an audience with real time streaming of the multimedia production over a network.
