Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards latency diagnostics for multiparty systems, such as a system comprising a communication network, a content delivery network (CDN), and one or more internet service providers (ISPs). A latency analyzer component can process latency data in response to a latency diagnostic trigger, such as an alert from a video quality monitoring system. The latency analyzer can determine whether latency is attributable to the communication network. If not, the latency analyzer can determine whether the latency is attributable to the CDN. If the latency is not attributable to the communication network or the CDN, the latency analyzer can determine that the latency is attributable to the ISP, and the latency analyzer can identify the ISP and generate appropriate reports and notifications.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods for treating dry eye and improving the quality of the meibum composition of inflamed or dysfunctional meibomian glands of a mammal, comprising the steps of administering a composition consisting essentially of an effective amount of omega-3 fatty acids on a daily dosage basis to the mammal having inflamed or dysfunctional meibomian glands, wherein the effective amount of omega-3 fatty acids comprises eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in an amount greater than 600 mg and in the re-esterified triglyceride form, and wherein the composition administered does not include any additional omega-6 fatty acids beyond the range normally found in the source material of the omega-3 fatty acids. The composition administered may facilitate an increase in levels of anti-inflammatory omega-3's in the meibum composition of the treated meibomian glands of the mammal and a decrease in the levels of inflammatory omega-6's in the meibum composition of the treated meibomian glands.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system, method and apparatus for initiating and handling an emergency IP request using an IP enabled device having GPS capability. The IP enabled device is monitored for one or more emergency criteria. If the emergency criteria are satisfied, global positioning data is obtained using the GPS capability and the emergency IP request is sent to an address server. The address server receives the emergency IP request, obtains local emergency services data based on the global positioning data, dials a call center station based on the local emergency services data and passes an emergency call from the IP enabled device to the call center station. This invention can be implemented as a computer program embedded in a computer readable medium wherein the steps are performed by one or more code segments.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes using one or more cameras of a mobile computing device to capture one or more images of a first user wearing a VR display device in a real-world environment. The mobile computing device transmits a pose of the mobile computing device with respect to the VR display device to a VR system. The mobile computing device receives from the VR system a VR rendering of a VR environment. The VR rendering is from the perspective of the mobile computing device with respect to the VR display device. The method includes segmenting the first user from the one or more images and generating, in real-time responsive to capturing the one or more images, a MR rendering of the first user in the VR environment. The MR rendering of the first user is based on a compositing of the segmented one or more images of the first user and the VR rendering.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a deformable, insertable device for relieving intraocular pressure comprising a body portion composed of a biocompatible porous material with pores throughout to permit drainage of fluid from the anterior chamber to the scleral tissue without collapse of the anterior chamber. The invention also includes a method for inserting the device into the eye and for using ultrasound intraoperatively to determine the position of surgical tools and devices within the sclera. The invention also includes a device excising sclera in an eye to create a chamber for insertion of the insertable device into the eye.

Abstract: The claimed invention relates to a container assembly for applying grease to the ball of a trailer hitch. Specifically, the grease applicator comprises a lower housing with an upper concave surface and an upper housing with an upper concave surface further comprising at least one aperture. Grease is introduced between the upper concave surface of the lower housing and the upper concave surface of the upper housing such that when the two surfaces are pressed together grease is emitted from the at least one aperture in the upper concave surface.
