Abstract: A video game client on a client device may, for example, be operated by a broadcasting game player, and the client device may capture video generated by a video game client and transmit (e.g., stream) the video to one or more spectators. The video game client may include a local server component, such as a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) server, which executes locally at the client device. The local server component may be employed to provide statistical information from the video game to a local client component, such as a web interface. The statistical information provided by the local server component may be included in one or more visual display items that are generated by the client device. The visual display items may be included in the video that is captured and transmitted by the client device, thereby potentially providing live streaming statistical information to spectators of the video game.

Abstract: A passenger seat includes a seat back and a headrest supported on the seat back. The headrest includes a pair of opposing lateral sides, and the headrest may be adjustable relative to the seat back along an axis. A divider assembly having a divider may be attached to the headrest. The divider of the divider assembly is movable with the headrest relative to the seat back, and the divider may be movable relative to the headrest between a stowed position and a deployed position. In the deployed position, the divider extends forward from a first lateral side of the pair of opposing lateral sides of the headrest.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method of treating skeletal muscular myopathy, e.g., Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), with cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs), wherein a therapeutically effective amount of CDCs is delivered to a targeted dystrophic skeletal muscle. Some embodiment enable delivery of a therapeutically effective amount of CDCs via intramuscular injection directly at a skeletal muscle or systemic administration, e.g., intravenous injection, in a single dose or multiple doses, to treat a targeted dystrophic skeletal muscle. Some embodiments provide a method for improving exercise capabilities in DMD patients. Additional embodiments relate to exosome mediated transfer of noncoding RNAs ameliorates Duchenne muscular dystrophy by restoring dystrophin in heart and skeletal muscle. Delivery of noncoding RNA species found in CDC-derived exosomes mimics the ability of CDCs and CDC-derived exosomes to increase dystrophin protein levels.

Abstract: A passenger seat for a passenger vehicle including but not limited to an aircraft may include a seat base, a seat back, and an energy absorption system. The energy absorption system is spherically coupled to the seat base and spherically coupled to the seat back, and includes a dampening member and a support assembly. The dampening member is movable relative to the support assembly responsive to a load applied on the seat back such that engagement between the support assembly and the dampening member dampens the load.

Abstract: Examples are described herein for providing a graphical user interface (“GUI”) in a pre-operating system (“pre-OS”) boot environment. In some examples, an object-oriented hierarchy of data structures that define a plurality of GUI elements may be generated from user interface data provided by a firmware module. A plurality of bitmaps corresponding to a subset of the hierarchy of data structures may be stored, e.g., in memory for rendition on a display while the pre-OS boot environment is active. Each bitmap may portray a visual aspect of a given GUI element of the plurality of GUI elements.

Abstract: A system and method of aligning and calibrating sensor measurements to determine motion characteristics of a moving object. The method involves calibrating a plurality of sensors for a multi-dimensional field of interest, based on one or more of motion data of the moving object, and spatial data and timing synchronization of the plurality of sensors, to obtain first measurements. The method also includes determining initial estimate of one or more of location, velocity, spin, and spin axis of the moving object from the first measurements. It compares succeeding sets of measurements with the determined initial estimate to modify the initial estimate, wherein the succeeding set of measurements are obtained from the plurality of sensors. It then determines the motion characteristics of the moving object based on the modification of the initial estimate.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for displaying scenes included in media assets. The technique includes selecting a first scene included in a first video asset based on one or more preferences and metadata associated with multiple scenes. The first video asset is one of multiple video assets, and each scene included in the multiple scenes is included in one of the video assets included in the multiple video assets. The technique further includes displaying the first scene within a first portion of a display area.

Abstract: In the context of electronic design automation and particularly circuit layout design software tools, systems and methods for incremental chaining of circuit devices (or, more generally, “figures,” which can include instances and pins) permit user-interactive abutment and placement. Selection of one or more anchor figures highlights chaining candidates which can be automatically chained to the anchor figure(s) upon selection, as with a single mouse click. As compared to manual interactive abutment or automatic batch-mode chaining, incremental chaining offers improved usability, reduced manual effort, and the opportunity for user interaction as a chain is constructed, because the user is permitted interventions at any point in the chaining process for altering device parameters or characteristics.
