Abstract: A user of a storage system can upload files for a media asset, which can include a high quality media file and various related files. As part of the upload process, the storage system can extract metadata that describes the media asset. The user can specify one or more lifecycle policies to be applied for storage of the asset, and a rules engine can ensure the application of the one or more policies. The rules engine can also enable the use of simple media processing workflows. A filename hashing approach can be used to ensure that the segments and files for the asset are stored in a relatively random and even distribution across the partitions of the storage system. As part of the lifecycle for the asset, the high quality media file can be moved to less expensive storage once transcoding of the asset or another such action occurs.

Abstract: An example system may include one or more collectors, an analyzer, and a presentation module.

Abstract: As described herein, a computer system receives a first indication that an interactive login session is to be established. The first indication includes user credentials for establishing the interactive login session. The computer system then establishes the interactive login session using the received user credentials. The interactive login session includes a data transfer endpoint for receiving data from other sessions. The computer system receives a second indication that a child session is to be established in parallel to the established interactive login session. The child session is configured to direct input and output data through a loopback connection to the data transfer endpoint of the interactive login session. The computer system also establishes the child session using the received user credentials. The child session then transfers at least a portion of data to the data transfer endpoint of the interactive login session using the loopback connection.

Abstract: A housing unit includes two parts that define a fire-smothering chemical storing interior volume. The housing unit is transported to a target area of a forest fire by an aircraft and dropped onto the target area. An explosive charge is located inside the housing unit and is detonated when the housing unit impacts the ground. The explosion associated with the detonated charge separates the two parts of the housing and disperses the chemical from the open housing unit.

Abstract: An improvement to the Private Network Access Point (PNAP) packet switched network described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,009,081, where two customers connected to the same PNAP will exchange traffic through the PNAP without transiting over the backbones of the Internet. In addition, a multi-homed customer connected to the PNAP is provided with access to the PNAP optimized routing table so that the customer will also have the ability to know the best route for a particular destination. In this way, if a multi-homed customer connected to the PNAP is directly connected to a particular NSP to which a destination is also connected, the PNAP customer can use the PNAP information regarding the NSP to send the information to the destination through that commonly connected NSP in the most direct fashion.
