Abstract: Described herein is a real-time communications system and a method of its operation. Structured datasets can be used to coordinate events. The data within a structured dataset may change dynamically (i.e., in real-time), and as such, can provide up-to-date information to a user. One or more associations can be used for making changes to the structured dataset(s) to facilitate information gathering in an organized fashion. Examples of the disclosure can further include using interactive elements embedded in a communication to allow a user to communicate information in an easier, more streamlined manner. The system further includes additional features to enhance the communications. These additional features include automatically updating members of a group, allowing the host (or the guest) the ability to send a broadcast message, allowing a guest the ability to create an interactive element embedded into a communication, and the ability to communicate with a system-allocated group.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods that provide for integration of social media with live events are disclosed. Social media content could be published to an online social media service responsive to the detection of a trigger that is associated with a live event video broadcast. In some embodiments, incoming user-driven social media content is repurposed and automatically reformatted for video display. Story content sources and citations might also be integrated for broadcast stories. Story content approval and notification could also be supported.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a comment to a medical study; prior to enabling storage of the comment in a data repository, transmitting, to a device used by a user who submitted the comment, a graphical user interface that prompts the user to enter an identifier that uniquely references a data repository record to a medical resource; receiving information indicative of the identifier that uniquely references the data repository record to the medical resource; verifying that the identifier references a data repository record to a medical resource; in response to verification of the identifier, storing the comment in association with the medical study in the data repository; and storing the identifier in association with the comment that is stored in the data repository, wherein the identifier provides evidence to support the comment.

Abstract: A method performed by one or more processing devices, comprises: displaying, through a graphical user interface, test information in a layered structure; wherein a first layer in the layered structure is configured to display the test information following selection of a control in the graphical user interface; wherein a second layer in the layered structure is configured to display the test information following a display of the test information in the first layer; receiving, through the graphical user interface, one or more answers to one or more questions received in the test information; and generating, in response to receiving, information indicative of a test score.

Abstract: A wave energy converting apparatus and tension mooring system are described. The apparatus comprises an elongate support structure designed to extend above a mean water level in the ocean. The support structure has a submerged member below the mean water level. A float member of positive buoyancy is slidably mounted on the support structure so as to be movable in a vertical direction. The apparatus also comprises a linear electric generator having a stator provided in connection with the support structure and a translator integrated into the body of the float member. Differential motion of the float member relative to the support structure results in the generation of electrical power by the electric generator. The mooring system comprises a cable extending from a ballast to a counterbalancer suspended from the submerged member via a pulley mechanism. The mooring system allows the apparatus to be “tuned” to prevailing ocean conditions.

Abstract: An audio and video production system and method, including a video production control switcher; and one or more computers connected through a network and configured for controlling the video production control switcher. The system is further configured for at least one of defining looks, including shot templates, that correspond to particular settings on the production control switcher or settings of parts of the production control switcher; defining sequences of the looks or assigning individual looks to control elements on a computer of the computers; transmitting the looks across the network; and translating of a single look into one or more standard editor commands, and transmitting the commands to the production control switcher.

Abstract: A wave energy converting apparatus 44 and its associated tension mooring system 50 is described. The wave energy converting apparatus 44 comprises an elongate support structure 45 designed to extend above a mean water level in the ocean. The support structure 45 has a submerged member 46 provided in connection therewith below the mean water level. A float member 48 of positive buoyancy is slidably mounted on the support structure 45 so as to be movable in a vertical direction. The apparatus 44 also comprises a linear electric generator 49 having a stator provided in connection with the support structure 45 and a translator integrated into the body of the float member 48. Differential motion of the float member 48 relative to the support structure 45 results in the generation of electrical power by the linear electric generator 49.

Abstract: A system for deploying a wave energy converter including a submersible structure having a buoyancy chamber sufficiently large that when filled with gas it enables the submersible structure to float. The wave energy converter is transported to a site on the submersible structure and launched by releasing the gas from the buoyancy chamber. The system also includes three tethers operatively coupled to the submersible structure for tethering the wave energy converter to the submersible structure; and a docking station provided in connection with the submersible structure for mechanically coupling the wave energy converter to the submersible structure during transportation.

Abstract: An improvement for a wave energy converter comprises a substantially rigid skirt adapted to be suspended from a wave energy converter below the surface of the water. The skirt includes an elongate substantially cylindrical structure extending vertically so as to form a flow path for water particles over a surface of the structure. The cylindrical structure has a series of rings of substantially equal diameter arranged concentrically at spaced vertical intervals. The curved surfaces formed by the circular cross-section of the rings, form an undulating flow path for water particles travelling in a vertical direction. In this way the vertical component of the wave energy extracted from the wave's circular water particle motion can be maximized.

Abstract: A system for controlling the temperature of a natural gas processing unit. The system having a main burner and a pilot burner operatively associated with the main burner, and temperature control means for regulating the temperature of the natural gas processing unit. A pilot valve is interposed between a fuel supply and the pilot burner and is responsive to the temperature control means so as to allow fuel to flow through the pilot valve and to the pilot burner when the natural gas processing unit is below a selected temperature. An igniter wire is operatively associated with the pilot burner and responsive to temperature control means for generating a spark that ignites fuel being discharged from pilot burner. A main burner control valve is interposed between the fuel supply and the main burner and is responsive to the temperature control means so as to allow fuel to flow through the main burner control valve and the main burner upon ignition of the pilot burner.
