Abstract: A microphone module system comprising a microphone module with memory. The microphone module is connected to an original factory installed microphone of a vehicle and connected to an aftermarket radio to allow the original factory installed microphone to be compatible with an aftermarket radio. The microphone module includes a computer program that calibrates the factory installed microphone with the aftermarket radio that is originally embedded in the module memory. A method to remotely flash the module comprises steps of transferring a computer program to the microphone module, installing the microphone module in the vehicle, and calibrating the microphone module with the original factory microphone. The computer program may be specific to a make/model of a vehicle or universally applicable to all vehicles.

Abstract: A guest digital device joins a playback session hosted by a host digital device and synchronizes playback of digital media content with playback on the host digital device. This enables multiple users to listen to or view media at the same time on their respective devices. A time-based synchronization process may be used to initially synchronize playback of the guest digital device to the host digital device. If synchronization is lost, the device may record and analyze audio during playback and a fingerprint-based synchronization approach may be applied that detects a time offset between fingerprints in the analyzed audio. If synchronization is still not achieved, a watermark-based synchronization approach may be applied in which watermarks are actively injected into the audio and the time offsets between the watermarks is detected.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a system and method for providing vehicle insurance premium refunds. Specifically, a vehicle device is connected to a vehicle to monitor, store, and transmit vehicle information to a remote application server. The application server calculates the total amount of time a vehicle is not in use for a selected period and compares that with preset insurance premium information to determine if the user qualifies for a refund amount. If a user qualifies for a refund amount, the application server may automatically provide the user with the refund amount.

Abstract: Disclosed and claimed herein are devices for the treatment of medical waste using high temperature and pressure steam. The devices combine both the sterilization chamber and the steam generating component. The devices may be self-contained and may be movable by one person of average strength and ability. The devices which are self-contained require no special installation, connections, plumbing or permanent or semi-permanent electrical connections. Disclosed and claimed herein are methods using the disclosed and claimed devices.

Abstract: Playback of an audio stream is synchronized on multiple connected digital devices by using synchronization fingerprints. Playback actions may furthermore be synchronized on all devices, such as skips and pauses. Furthermore, synchronization may be maintained even in the presence of variations in decoding speed, playback interruptions, and network disconnections. Synchronized playback of streamed audio content on multiple devices is achieved by devices compensating for time drifting induced by network instability and variable playback speed across master and guest devices to reduce the formation of echoes during playback.

Abstract: The present document describes a method for presenting modified information obtained from the internet on an application on a mobile device. The mobile device is set to communicate with the internet through a proxy server. A user of the mobile device is registered on a social network from which indexed search content specific to the user's connections on the social network are obtained. The method comprises: modifying, based on the indexed search content specific to the user's connections, an output for the application from an internet server to produce a modified output for the application; and sending the modified output for the application to the mobile device for presentation in the application on the mobile device.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method and system for presenting indexed search results from a social network, concurrently with customary search results returned by a search engine hosted on a website, to a user performing a search from a user interface of a user device using the search engine. The user is registered on the social network and has connections thereon. The method comprises: indexing data related to users registered on the social network to produce indexed data, the data obtained from the social network hosted on a website different from the website hosting the search engine; receiving a search query along with a user identifier; performing a search on the indexed data specific to the user's connections to obtain indexed search results specific to the user's connections on the social network; and returning to the user device the indexed search results for presentation on the user interface.

Abstract: There is described a method implemented on a social search server for presenting names of members of a social network who shared information about a commercial item to a user performing a search from a user interface of a user device.
