Abstract: The present invention provides a major innovative development in low latency live streaming at scale which includes a Viewer to transmit a series of requests for Media Segments ahead-of-time the Media Segment data is expected to exist and a Server capable of delivering Media Segment data, as it is being generated, to one or more Viewers. Specifically, the invention incorporates a method of embedding Playlist Data into Media Segment data to enhance ultra-low latency playback, while providing an immediate transferring of essential Playlist Data to the Viewer.

Abstract: A system and method for reducing the delay and optimizing the process of delivering real-time media segments on communication networks. This is accomplished by allowing media segment requests to be queued ahead of the time that the segment exists. The system includes the ability to request segments by selected criteria or by explicit reference naming techniques. This reduces delay and optimizes bandwidth usage when applied within otherwise high latency communication networks, including Content Delivery Networks.

Abstract: A music-based social networking application for computers and mobile devices displayed on a user interface that provides users with a variety of social networking tools and functions. The user interface displays media content shared by associated users on the user interface. The application allows users to pair their own video/photos to musical works available on any streaming source to share within the app or on external media outlets. The application connects data through the use of a server and media is either streamed from server-held content or an external streaming source. A user's social activity is stored in the server and music listening history in app or on external streaming source is made available to said user for later use. The application utilizes a proprietary algorithm that suggests music and users based on actual in app activity and music/media play history.

Abstract: A solar array may have a primary solar panel attached to a supporting structure and an auxiliary solar panel attached at an angle to the primary panel. The primary solar panel may be positioned to collect daily solar radiation and the auxiliary solar panel may be positioned relative the primary panel to collect daily solar radiation. The daily solar radiation collected by the primary solar panel may be peak annualized daily solar radiation and the daily solar radiation collected by the auxiliary solar panel may be off-peak solar radiation.

Abstract: An apparatus for capturing energy of a working mass may include two or more immiscible liquids having different densities. The two immiscible liquids may include a predetermined proportion of oil and water. The apparatus may include a supporting structure, a hermetically sealed vessel, and an electric generator driven by fluid flow. The hermetically sealed vessel may have an elongate shape housing the working mass such that the working mass moves within the hermetically sealed vessel. An electric generator driven by fluid flow may be housed within the hermetically sealed vessel and having an inlet and an outlet. The electric generator driven by fluid flow may be configured to produce electric power as the predetermined portion of oil and water passes into the inlet and out of the outlet in response to a movement of the hermetically sealed vessel.

Abstract: A superstereoscopic display with enhanced off-angle separation includes a first light source; a lenticular lens optically coupled to the first light source that, with the first light source, generates a first light output having viewing angle dependency; and a high-index optical volume optically coupled to the lenticular lens.

Abstract: A retroreflecting display that enables the formation of a real image in free space includes a first light source that generates a first light output; a first beam splitter module; and a retroreflector module opposite the first light source.

Abstract: A stem includes a stem body, one of the extremities of which includes element for attaching a handlebar, the opposite extremity including two parallel arms connected to a pivot tube by an articulation associated with clamping element which immobilize the stem in a chosen position. The clamping element includes a pair of frustoconical bodies connected to the extremities of the arms. The frustoconical bodies are received in housings of complementary shape. The frustoconical bodies are connected by a connecting element capable of moving them closer to one another in order to clamp them in the respective housing, and of loosening them by moving them further apart one from the other so as to allow the continuous adjustment of the inclination of the handlebar. The cone angle of the frustoconical bodies possesses a sufficiently low value to permit them to be pinched inside their housings.

Abstract: The invention is an apparatus for generating power using inertia of a load in a moving vehicle. The apparatus includes a vessel having a volume that is capable of an expansion and a contraction, and containing a fluid under a pressure. The fluid is released from the vessel as a force is exerted by the load of the vehicle against the vessel. The apparatus includes a reservoir, operably connected to the vessel by fluid conduit. The reservoir contains the fluid under pressure until an optimum pressure is reached at which point the reservoir releases the fluid to a power generator. The power generator then generates electrical power. Excess fluid released from the power generator then returns to the vessel.
