These methods and systems can include generating a first video stream based on imaging data generated by an imaging device, wherein the first video stream comprises a first bitrate; generating a second video stream based on the imaging data, wherein the second video stream comprises a second bitrate lower than the first bitrate; transmitting the first video stream for consumption by a first device; and concurrently transmitting the second video stream for consumption by a second device.

Abstract: A method of locating light includes providing a housing have a plurality of first light sources therein, the housing further including a plurality of second light sources, the housing further having a handle for changing a position of the housing; illuminating an object with light emitting from the housing from the first light sources; grasping the handle of the housing; turning on the second light sources; illuminating the object with light from the second light sources, with the light from each of the second light sources extending along a line; adjusting a position of the housing to have the second light sources form a point at an area of interest on the object; releasing the handle; and turning off the second light sources.

Abstract: Adjustment of a surgical light is provided to optimize viewing an object. First, a distance between the surgical light and the object being viewed can be measured and the light output from the surgical light can be adjusted depending on the distance. Second, the surgical light can be moved to optimize the direction of light emitted from the surgical light according to the position of light from visible locating light sources. Third, the light emitted from a pair of light assemblies can be adjusted to ensure that the intensity of the light at an area of overlap of the light assemblies stays below a predetermined level to help prevent eye fatigue and dehydration and excessive radiation of a wound at the area of overlap.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for obtaining a solution from a solid product are disclosed. A solid product is housed in a dispenser. A liquid is introduced into the housing of the dispenser to interact with the solid product to form a solution. To control the concentration of the formed solution, the turbulence of the liquid introduced to the dispenser is controlled and adjusted either manually or on a real time basis to account for varying characteristics of either or both of the solid product and the liquid. The dispenser will adjust the turbulence based on the characteristics to maintain a formed solution within an acceptable range of concentration. The concentrated solution can then be discharged from the dispenser to an end use application.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to controlling a transition between a manual driving mode and an autonomous driving mode of a vehicle. For instance, one or more processors of one or more control computing devices may control the vehicle in the autonomous driving mode. While controlling the vehicle in the autonomous driving mode and decelerating at a given rate, the processors may receive at a user input of the vehicle input requesting a transition from the autonomous driving mode to the manual driving mode. In response to the input, the processors may transition the vehicle to the manual driving mode. After transitioning the vehicle to the manual driving mode, the processors may send deceleration signals to a deceleration actuator thereby causing the vehicle to continue to decelerate at the given rate.

Abstract: A height-adjustable display support is disclosed in which a carriage is fixed at a stationary elevation with respect to an external support surface, and a column is height-adjustable with respect to the carriage to change the height of a display attached to the column. In some embodiments the carriage is supported by an arm that is not height-adjustable.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for a media device upgrading system. An embodiment operates by receiving a command at a media device that includes an upgrader device connected via or plugged into an input port of the media device. It is determined that the command is associated with modifying a software component of the media device, wherein both the media device and the upgrader device include operating systems configured to process the command and modify the software component. The command is provided to the upgrader device based on a determination that the media device is in an upgrader mode of operation. A visual indication corresponding to the modification is provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically offloading network traffic flows in one or more virtual networks are disclosed. An example method begins with identifying a virtual router through which to route network traffic of a specific network flow, wherein the specific network flow has a source endpoint existing on a source host machine and a destination endpoint existing on a destination host machine. Flow statistics including statistics about the specific network flow are received. A determination is made as to whether the specific network flow meets an offload rule using the received flow statistics. In response to determining that the specific flow meets the offload rule, the specific network flow is offloaded from the virtual router.
