Abstract: A system is provided for providing a trickplay operation using a digital video recorder (DVR) when the video includes Broadcom Transport Packets (BTPs) designed for MPEG-2, but in an MPEG-4 video steam. In a first embodiment, to enable trickplay to function properly with MPEG-4 video, the BTP descriptors included with each group of data frames are disabled so that a single descriptor provided without BTPs that would otherwise be provided in MPEG-4 is all that remains. In a second embodiment, the 5 descriptors for MPEG-4 are combined into a single descriptor. In a third embodiment, the pace of decoding of the MPEG-4 descriptors is increased so that the speed of encoding all the 5 descriptors is comparable to the pace of decoding a single MPEG-2 descriptor.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for determining a cost of a casting process includes receiving a user input, via a Graphical User Interface (GUI), indicative of part information that is associated with a part manufactured by the casting process. The method includes receiving a user input, via the GUI, to select a casting parameter associated with the casting process. The casting parameter includes material and post-treatment parameter, mold and core parameter, foundry process parameter, and machining and setup parameter. The method includes receiving a user input, via the GUI, indicative of a variable associated with the casting parameter and retrieving a cost information associated with the casting parameter from a database. The method further includes determining a parameter cost based on the cost information and the variable and, generating an output, via the GUI, indicative of the cost of the casting process for the part.

Abstract: A memory controller detects a request, with a key to a data object and a value, to perform an operation. The memory controller locates the data object by mapping the key to a location of the data object in a tiered data structure and identifies a sequence number of the data object. When the sequence number of the data object is greater than a sequence number of a snapshot of the tiered data structure, the memory controller replaces the data object with a modified data object, including the key and the value, and assigns the modified object a unique sequence number. When the sequence number of the data object is less than the sequence number of the snapshot, the memory controller inserts a new data object, including the key and the value, into the tiered data structure and assigns the new data object the unique sequence number.

Abstract: Methods of forming a polymeric nanocomposite are provided. The methods include combining one or more monomers to form a mixture and adding a plurality of carbon fibers to the mixture prior to or concurrently with formation of a polymer from the monomers. The methods can also include polymerizing the monomers to form the polymer and adding a hydrophobic agent and a plasticizer to the mixture to form the polymer nanocomposite.

Abstract: A generic mobile synchronization framework facilitates synchronization of data objects between platforms by comparing these data objects from one platform with a replica of data objects on the other platform. Generic messages identifying the differences in the data objects are converted into an adapted message suitable for use by the underlying synchronization hardware and sent to the platform needing synchronization. That platform converts adapted message to the corresponding original generic messages, and executes them, synchronizing the data objects in that platform with the originating platform.
