Abstract: Modular smoking devices that vaporize certain materials, such as tobacco or cannabis are disclosed. The technology provides for intelligent ignition, combustion, or vaporization of given material at the appropriate temperatures that prevent generation of harmful and unwanted byproducts. According to one embodiment, the modular smoking device comprises a self-contained combustion chamber to hold the material, a combustion mechanism integrated with the self-contained combustion chamber, and an energy source, such as a rechargeable battery, to power the combustion mechanism. The combustion mechanism is configured to provide targeted combustion of the material, where the active ingredients generated upon the combustion are consumed by inhaling a smoke or vapor resulting from the combustion or vaporization.

Abstract: A gas compressor, wherein the gas compressor can be used for compressing gas, vapor, or combinations thereof. The gas compressor includes a drive power section and a dual activating compressor section. The gas compressor can be used in a system for compressing gas, vapor, or combinations thereof.

Abstract: A gas compressor with a drive power section engaging, through a seal assembly, a dual activating compressor section. The drive power section has a hydraulic drive cylinder, an upper hydraulic drive chamber, a lower hydraulic drive chamber, and a hydraulic drive piston. The dual activating compressor section has a compressor cylinder with an upper compression chamber and a lower compression chamber separated by a compressor piston, a first piston locator sensor, and a second piston locator sensor. The drive power section receives a hydraulic drive fluid and discharges spent hydraulic drive fluid. The dual activating compressor section is configured for receiving a source vapor or gas and discharging compressed vapors while the drive power section operates. The drive power section is movable between a first orientation and a second orientation.

Abstract: Personalized HRTFs for each of plural computer game participants are convolved with functions representing the acoustics of a physical room in which each participant is located or representing the acoustics of a virtual space in the game environment. Head-tracking of each participant may be employed as the game is played and the HRTFs established accordingly. As the game progresses, the location of each player's character within the virtual game space with respect to the other players is tracked and audio adjusted accordingly. If desired, audio can be down-mixed from, e.g., 5.1 audio and then up-rendered for each player by the game console or by the players' local game interface, e.g., a computer game head-worn visor assembly.

Abstract: A device is enabled to display Internet TV by accessing a management server and receiving back from the server a user token and a service list of predefined content servers. A user can select a content server on the service list which causes the device to upload its user token to the management server, which in turn sends back the network path to the content server along with a content server-user-unique service token (SUIT) that the device uses to access the content on the content server, in some embodiments on per-title PPV access, per-content category PPV access, or per-service PPV access.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a correlator of a global positioning system receiver in a global positioning system receives a sample satellite signal. The correlator includes a signal comparator configured to receive the sample signal, a first normalized estimate signal, and a second normalized estimate signal. The signal comparator generates a first accumulated output and a second accumulated output. The first accumulated output represents the integration of a correlation of the sample signal and the first normalized estimate signal. The second accumulated output represents the integration of a correlation of the sample signal and the second normalized estimate signal. Using time-multiplexing, the high speed of a digital signal processing core is leveraged to perform calculations of the signal comparator and threshold comparator in real time.
