Abstract: Described herein is an apparatus and method to convey an object through the air in a controlled and repeatable manner. The apparatus may comprise an object attached to at least one resilient member, the resilient member or members constraining object movement in a substantially vertical y-axis direction. The apparatus may also comprise at least one support member coupled to the at least one resilient member, and the support member or members constrain object movement in a substantially horizontal x-axis direction. In use, the resilient member is energised, movement initiated, and object movement then occurs in an x-axis and a y-axis direction, the movement path substantially governed by the resilient member(s) and the support member(s). The apparatus and method may allow the object to experience a variety of movement sensations, one being the feeling of flight or gliding.

Abstract: Systems and methods for creating dynamic, real-time visual representations of multimedia content. A temporal metadata visualization module receives a plurality of temporal metadata tags associated with a time code reference, representing a plurality of attributes of the multimedia content at the particular time. During playback, the temporal metadata virtualization module applies a set of display preferences and creates a visual representation of attributes identified by the temporal metadata tags at a particular time code reference. The visual representation changes based on the temporal metadata tags of a point within playback of the multimedia content, enhancing a user's experience and engagement with the multimedia content.

Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and a computer system for scheduling downloads based on metadata in a client-server topology. A server receives from a client application a request for scheduling a download of a file, wherein the request for scheduling the download of the file comprises a requirement of a time period for downloading the file. The server fetches information from one or more metadata sources. The server determines an optimal time for downloading the file, based on the requirement of the time period and information from one or more metadata sources. The server sends a response with the optimal time and information for downloading the file. The server receives from the client a request for downloading the file at the optimal time. The server serves, at the optimal time, the file to the client application.

The agent flow arrangement may have the first commit processing agent subsequent to the second commit processing agent. The distributed commit operation may be processed using the agent flow arrangement which has the first commit processing agent subsequent to the second commit processing agent.

Abstract: A method includes providing a service co-processor with a service address space attached to a main processor. The main processor is provided with a main address space. The service co -processor updates the service address space to create and maintain an independent copy of the main address space. The service co-processor receives a system dump request from the main processor, initiates a system dump, and responsive to initiating the system dump, ceases updating the service address space. The service co-processor, upon completion of the system dump, resets the service address space.

Abstract: A system and technique are provided for providing a service address space. The system includes a service co-processor provided with a service address space. The service co-processor is attached to a main processor where the main processor is provided with a main address space. The service co-processor creates and maintains an independent copy of the main address space in the form of the service address space. The service co-processor receives from the main processor a command packet, determines a clock value for initiating a service function designated by the command packet, and updates the service address space until reaching the clock value. The service co-processor then performs the service function at the clock value.
