Patent number: 10165245Abstract: A computing device plays at least one first video content segment. The video content segment may be a portion of an interactive video content sequence including multiple segments that may each be selected during play of one or more of the other segments. The computing device determines one or more second video content segments that are associated with the first video content segment. Such determination may be made by analyzing information describing an interactive video content sequence of which the video content segment is a part. The computing device attempts to load one or more second video content segments. In this way, play of the video content segments may reduce and/or avoid delays in changing the video content being played.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2013Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: KALTURA, INC.Inventor: Christopher Douglas Hayes

Patent number: 7360434Abstract: A pressure tap probe having a flexible probe tip that is flexible enough to seal a film cooling hole having a roughened surface such as a TBC applied around the hole. The flexible probe tip is flexible enough to deform around the film cooling hole such that an accurate pressure reading can be observed for the film cooling hole. The flexible pressure tap is used to measure the pressure at a plurality of film cooling holes on a turbine airfoil when a pressure and a flow rate of cooling air is passed through the airfoil. A plurality of film cooling holes are measured by using the flexible pressure tap to determine if the cooling passages and film cooling holes are properly sized to provide adequate cooling for the airfoil.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2006Date of Patent: April 22, 2008Assignee: Florida Turbine Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Douglas A.
