Abstract: The disclosed method may include (1) detecting, by a communication resource of a communication system, an event indicative of traffic congestion in the communication resource, where the communication resource services one or more traffic flows, and where at least one of the traffic flows causes the event, (2) sampling, by the communication resource, in relation to detecting the event, status data indicating a current status of the communication resource during each of a plurality of time intervals, (3) transmitting, by the communication resource, to a receiving device external to the communication resource to control the communication system, at least one of (a) at least a portion of the status data that is associated with the at least one of the traffic flows or (b) control information for the at least one of the traffic flows based on that status data. Various other methods and systems are also disclosed.

Abstract: A narration session between a plurality of participants can be set up to allow participants to collaboratively narrate an electronic book. Information can be transmitted to each participant so that the views of the participants remain in sync. Visual cues can also be transmitted to notify a participant of text that is to read aloud and audio snippets of read text are collected to form a narration file. Participants without access rights to the electronic book can be granted temporary rights.

Abstract: Methods and systems for submitting media to a media distribution site are disclosed. The submission of media to the media distribution site is able to be performed by numerous submitters in a uniform and computer-assisted manner. The submitted media can then be encoded in a largely automated manner at the media distribution site into a suitable digital form and then made available for online purchase and distribution.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing media distribution are disclosed. Advantageously, the management of media distribution can be substantially computer implemented and include management of media distribution agreements. The management of media distribution agreements can operate to manage the creation and/or renewal of media distribution agreements in an automated and efficient manner. The methods and systems for management of media distribution can also take appropriate action when an established media distribution agreement expires.

Abstract: A polysaccharide sweetener compound is obtained via a process of cycloelimination of a macromolecule, for example, a glycoside, chemoselective promiscuous ligation of a constituent disaccharide fraction derived from the macromolecule with a base monosaccharide, such as fructose, and cycloaddition of the base monosaccharide with the constituent disaccharide fraction. Subsequent addition of fortifiers such as vitamins and minerals may be accomplished via baric processing to effect cross-linking or cross-bonding with the polysaccharide sweetener compound. A process for manufacturing polysaccharide sweetener compounds is provided and permits baric, electromagnetic, and thermal processing, at low temperatures, to effect the cycloelimination, chemoselective promiscuous ligation, and cycloaddition reactions.

Abstract: A method of forming a compound such as a polysaccharide sweetener compound is obtained via a process of cycloelimination of a macromolecule, for example, a glycoside, chemoselective promiscuous ligation of a first component constituent such as a constituent disaccharide fraction derived from the macromolecule with a second component such as a base monosaccharide, such as fructose, and cycloaddition of the base monosaccharide with a the constituent disaccharide fraction. Subsequent addition of fortifiers such as vitamins and minerals may be accomplished via baric processing to effect cross-linking or cross-bonding with the polysaccharide sweetener compound.

Abstract: A baric electromagnetic thermal system for manufacturing disaccharide sweetener compounds is provided and permits baric and thermal processing, at low temperatures, to effect the retrocycloaddition, chemoselective promiscuous ligation, and cycloaddition reactions. A method for selecting base and adjunct components for the manufacture of a disaccharide sweetener compound having an equivalent functionality as a natural sweetener and/or derivative thereof as required for a specific food processing application is presented.
