Abstract: A live media streaming system and method is presented herein. The system and method includes broadcasting a live media stream in at least one of a plurality of themed broadcasting channels, the live media stream being transmitted from a broadcasting device corresponding to a broadcasting user. A jump zone (a physical region or area) is selected or defined based upon predetermined jump zone criteria corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of themed broadcasting channels. Further, a next broadcasting user is selected, wherein the user is located within the physical geographic region of the jump zone. Once the next broadcasting user is selected, a live media stream is broadcasted from the next user's broadcasting device.

Abstract: A headphone system including a first earpiece, a second earpiece, and a coupler. The headphone system receives a wireless signal having audio content from an external audio source and reproduces at least a portion of the audio content using the first and second earpieces. The first earpiece includes a power source connector to be removably connected to an external power source, a first energy storage device coupled to receive power from the power source connector, and a first power transfer device coupled to receive power from the power source connector. The second earpiece includes a second power transfer device for receiving power from the first power transfer device and a second energy storage device coupled to receive power from the second power transfer device. The coupler is to hold the first and second earpieces together with the first and second power transfer devices in a power transfer configuration.

Abstract: Contemplated are topical compositions comprising an extract of Commiphora mukul, an extract of Phoenix dactylifera, and a seaweed extract, for increasing the lipid content of keratinocytes.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method performed by one or more computing devices comprises storing, for one or more marketplace associated applications, interaction information that identifies, for each particular application of said one or more marketplace associated applications, a list of devices that interacted with an instance of the particular application; receiving, from a requesting device, a request for a list of offer eligible applications; determining, based on said interaction information, a set of applications associated with the requesting device; based on said determination of the set of applications associated with the requesting device, sending a list of one or more selected eligible applications to the requesting device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods, systems, and apparatuses for providing a secure authentication scheme for authenticating users and accounts on behalf of a service provider server computer offering services to a user. Upon determining, by the secure authentication scheme, that the user and/or account identifier associated with the user is authenticate, the service provider server computer may be provided with assurance that the user is authenticate and thereafter provide a service requested by the user.

Abstract: The present invention relates to isolated polynucleotides encoding cysteine proteinases; cysteine proteinase inhibitors; and aspartic endoproteinases. The invention also relates to a transformed host cell, preferably a plant cell, in which over- or under-expression of these polynucleotides result in altered levels of coffee flavor precursor levels, specifically, amino group-containing molecules such as amino acids, peptides and proteins, in green coffee grains.

Abstract: A multistage sealed pump is provided for use in an X-ray tube cooling system which is substantially more efficient than pumps of known construction and which provides substantially higher pumping pressure at lower motor current than conventionally. Cooling liquid can be transferred from stage to stage by interconnecting tubing external of the housing or within the housing, through a hollow motor shaft, or through the motor casing. In another embodiment, the multiple impellers can be directly mounted on a shaft extending from a single end of the motor.

Abstract: The invention relates to “C-labeled compounds, their preparation, compositions comprising an effective amount of a “C-labeled compound, and the use of a “C-labeled compound as a radiopharmaceutical for positron emission tomography.

Abstract: A plurality of users participate (S1) in an interactive service. A subset of the users is determined (S2) according to the outcomes of the participation. The subset is then displayed in a further participation with the interactive service, within a broadcast.

Abstract: A voltage regulation circuit in a nonvolatile memory card accepts an input voltage from a host at two or more different voltage levels and provides an output voltage at a single level to components including a memory die. The voltage regulation circuit can provide an output voltage that is higher or lower than the input voltage.
