  • Publication number: 20250113398
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented methods and systems include establishing a mesh network among CEC-enabled connected devices based on custom, application-specific CEC messaging. For example, the methods and systems described herein operate within a digital content system application to generate and transmit custom CEC messages to other CEC-enabled connected devices. Based on transmitted and received custom CEC messages, the systems and methods described herein establish a mesh network among the CEC-enabled connected devices. Within this mesh network, the systems and methods described herein perform additional tasks such as automatic logins, preventing streaming of media content to devices that have gone into standby mode, and more. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20240259650
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented methods and systems include pausing a digital content stream being provided to a display device in response to determining that the display device is powered off. For example, rather than utilizing signals related to the power status of the display device, the disclosed methods and systems utilize signals related to display protocols and interfaces utilized by the display device to determine its power status. In response to determining that a display device is powered off, the disclosed methods and systems can pause the digital content stream being provided to the display device. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11369924
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a membrane separation system including a plurality of separation membrane elements connected to one another, each of the separation membrane elements including a plurality of separation membrane pairs, each separation membrane pair including separation membranes each having a feed-side surface and a permeate-side surface and disposed such that the feed-side surfaces face each other, in which the plurality of separation membrane elements include a first separation membrane element and a second separation membrane element, and at least one first separation membrane element serves as a stage preceding the second separation membrane element.

  • Patent number: 11065580
    Abstract: According to the present invention, even when a high recovery ratio operation is performed, the influence of concentration of ingredients to be separated in the feed fluid can be reduced, the concentration polarization can be prevented by increasing the turbulence effect on the membrane surface, and the fluid permeation performance and the separation performance of the separation membrane element can be maintained.

  • Publication number: 20190160435
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a separation membrane element for use in separation of ingredients contained in fluids such as liquid and gas. An object of the present invention is to provide a separation membrane element which, even when used in a high-recovery ratio operation, has high fresh-water production performance and high removal performance and is less apt to suffer scaling.
