Abstract: A virtual-reality device displays a virtual scene. The device generates audio data for an area source in the virtual scene. The area source is within a predefined near-field distance from the listener. The device selects sample points from the area source and determines, for each sample, energy contributions to two respective successive shells of spherical shells that extend from the listener to the predefined near-field distance. The two shells enclose the sample point source, and the determined energy contributions correspond to sound originating from the sample point source. For each shell, the device determines a head-related impulse response (HRIR) by combining the determined energy contributions for that shell. The device determines an overall HRIR for the virtual scene by combining the determined HRIRs for the shells and combines the audio data with the overall HRIR. The device transmits the combined audio data to sound-producing elements of the device.

Abstract: Techniques for fast programming and read operations for memory cells. A first set of bit lines is connected to a first set of NAND strings and is interleaved with a second set of bit lines connected to a second set of NAND strings. The first set of NAND strings can be programmed by driving a voltage on the first set of bit lines while floating a voltage on the second set of bit lines, to reduce an inter-bit line capacitance and provide a relatively high access speed and a relatively low storage density (e.g., bits per memory cell). The second set of NAND strings can be programmed by concurrently driving a voltage on the first and second sets of bit lines, to provide a relatively low access speed and a relatively high storage density.

Abstract: A bi-stable jumping toy that can be operated individually or with other jumping toys in a cascading chain. The toy has a first segment and a second segment that are joined in a scissor configuration. An elastic band extends between the first segment and the second segment. The elastic band biases the toy into the second configuration. However, the first segment and the second segment can be manually rotated into the stable first configuration. In the first configuration, the elastic band is stretched across the pivot axis and provides no rotational bias to either the first segment or the second segment. The toy is triggered by rotating the first segment and/or the second segment only slightly out of the first configuration. Once moved, the spring energy in the elastic band releases and the toy rapidly moves into its second configuration.

Abstract: A media server is hosted in a service provider's network so that media content can be stored from or rendered to a private network such as a Digital Living Network Alliance network. Media content may be stored by accessing the media server or by downloading the media content to the media server. Support of set top boxes interacting with voice-on-demand (VOD) controllers and computers interacting with IP-based video content servers are integrated through the media server. Consequently, VOD assets can be played on IP-based devices and IP-based content can be played on set top boxes. A gateway function converts IP-based content to a VOD asset, and renders the VOD asset to a set top box while mapping digital rights management information for the VOD asset. Conversely, the gateway function may convert a VOD asset to IP-based content that can be played on an IP-based device.
