Abstract: Synchronous content sharing of media assets via an object data model propagated through a star network or a mesh network. Each user device updates a local object data model including information on the status of the media asset delivery, to achieve synchronization with the source data. Updates to the local object data model may be the result of direct connection between a user device and an application server via a network, or the result of indirect connections through peers in mesh networks, where the local object data model is shared through hops between peers in the mesh network if the direct connection is unavailable.

Abstract: A noncontact support platform includes pressure ports distributed on a surface of a table, each connected to a pressure source. Vacuum ports are distributed on the surface of the table, each connected to a vacuum source. Outward flow through the pressure ports and inward flow through the vacuum ports form a fluid cushion to support a workpiece at a nonzero distance from the table. A plurality of channels each connect at least two of the vacuum ports to enable flow of fluid between the connected vacuum ports. When one of the connected vacuum ports is covered by an edge of the workpiece and the other is not, a suction force that is exerted by the connected vacuum ports on the edge is weaker than the suction force that is exerted on a part of the workpiece where both of the connected vacuum ports are covered.

Abstract: A wearable device has a core contraction sensor and a movement sensor which transmits signals to a processor which analyzes the signals. The core contraction signal may determine if the user's core is contracted or relaxed. A video camera on a smart device may be used with the wearable device to record video of a user while data from the sensors on the wearable device are also recorded. The core contraction and movement sensor data may be sent to and viewed on the smart device display together with video of the user performing a movement. The simultaneous viewing of the video and sensor data may provide immediate feedback to the user regarding the timing of core contractions with body movements in an athletic, training, or therapeutic movement to allow the user to modify and improve coordination of core contraction with body movements to improve movement performance and achieve better results.
