Abstract: A thermal storage device for batteries is provided. In some examples, the thermal storage device is provided for a battery pack that includes one or more rechargeable battery cells. In some examples, the lithium ion battery cells are used. The thermal storage device is in thermal contact with the battery cell. The thermal storage device is made of a material that absorbs heat that is given off by battery cells during discharge. In some examples, the thermal storage device is made of a plastic material. The material has a relatively low thermal conductivity but a relatively high specific heat capacity, allowing heat energy to be stored in the thermal storage device. The thermal storage device prevents the battery pack from overheating during use. The thermal storage device defines one or more cell receiving volumes. In some examples, an axially extending relief volume is provided.

Abstract: Described are method and system embodiments for monitoring segmentation messages of a digital video stream. In some embodiments, a method is performed at an electronic device with a display and operated by a user. The method includes monitoring the digital video stream for segmentation messages and detecting a segmentation message in the digital video stream. Then, a validity of the detected segmentation message is determined based on a previously-detected segmentation message. The user is notified of the determined validity of the segmentation message using the display.

Abstract: An improved emergency response system is provided. The system includes a patient or subscriber location database having a schedule of patient or subscriber activities. In one implementation, an emergency services server detects when the patient or subscriber is having a possible medical event as indicated by medical physiologic data transmitted from a wireless communication device proximate the patient. A third party such as a technologist and/or doctor diagnoses the patient and determines whether treatment is required. If treatment is required, a phone located remotely from the patient is used to call an emergency services first responder from a public safety access point in the patient's location. The remotely located phone has an automatic location identification database record that is updated based on the patient's current location as indicate by the patient location database.

Abstract: A closure for a bottle includes an upper portion, a lower portion attached to the upper portion and including a flange extending inwardly from an interior wall of the lower portion, and the flange resides entirely within the lower portion. The closure further includes one or more grip elements located on an outer surface of the lower portion, and an annular sleeve disposed in the lower portion and including a set of interior threads.

Abstract: A data storage system implements techniques for efficient retrieval of data stored thereon, using time of upload or another monotonically increasing variable as a key or identifier for the data to be stored and/or retrieved. Data is sorted according to, e.g., upload time, and the data is addressed with respect to time of upload and byte offset within the archive.

Abstract: A speech-based service platform includes a local device in a user premises and a network-based control service that directs the local device to perform actions for a user. The user may at times request that the service schedule a notification or other action at a specified future time or in response to other stimuli that may occur in the future. Upon receiving a request from the user, the control service immediately instructs the local device to schedule the notification or other action. If the control service is unable to contact the local device, however, the request is canceled and the user is notified that the action has not been scheduled. Non-priority actions requested by the user may be accepted and implemented at the local device when communications become available.

Abstract: A data transfer device is used to augment the capabilities of a data storage system. The data transfer device may be capable of persistently storing data for an indeterminate amount of time, and may be configured to store a portion of a bundle of redundancy coded shards that span between the data transfer device and a data storage system configured to store the remainder of the bundle. Data stored on the data transfer device may be read from and written directly to the data transfer device without transfer of data to the data storage system. If the data transfer device is not available, the remaining shards of the bundle may provide a regenerated, original form of the data.
