Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining portions of media assets for cooperative reception by multiple devices. The disclosed techniques herein include identifying cooperating devices that are able to communicate with a selected device for relaying portions of a media asset. For example, a group of people each travelling together in a vehicle may wish to view a media asset by cooperatively using their network resources of their smartphones to relay portions of the media asset for viewing. Network service data for each of the plurality of cooperating devices is then received. Based on the network service data, a determination is made for each cooperating device regarding reception of a respective portion of the media asset to each cooperating device. Instructions to receive and relay the respective portions of the media asset are transmitted to each cooperating device.

Abstract: In one aspect, the invention provides a method for making a multi-state memory resistor device. The method comprises providing a convertible component and inducing multiple state-dependent resistances on the convertible component to provide a multi-state memory resistor device. The convertible component is characterized by at least one of packing density, applied pressure, temperature, contact area or combinations thereof. The resistance from the multiple state-dependent resistances of the multi-state memory resistor device is a function of maximum current applied across the convertible component. In another aspect, the invention provides a multi-state memory resistor device comprising a convertible component, wherein the convertible component converts into a multi state memory resistor device having multiple state-dependent resistances when induced with a maximum current across the convertible component.
