  • Patent number: 11960444
    Abstract: A method of providing file data for a media file of a pre-determined format from a file system comprising a file record database and a data store, wherein the media file corresponds to a programme consisting of a plurality of segments, and wherein the segments included in the programme are dynamically determined. The method comprising the steps of receiving details of the programme including the duration of the programme, and determining the layout of the media file in the pre-determined format from the received details of the programme, the layout including locations for essence data within the file. A file record for the media file in the file record database is then created. In response to a request for the location of essence data within the file, a location given by determined layout of the media file is returned. Further, in response to an instruction that a segment is to be included in the programme, essence data corresponding to the contents of the segment is obtained.

  • Patent number: 11714858
    Abstract: A method of providing file data from a file system comprising a data store and a file record database. The method comprises the steps of receiving a request to open a file in the file system and determining the desired properties of the file using the syntax of the request. A file record is then created in the file record database based on the determined properties of the file, and a file handle for the file record is returned. Data constituting the requested file from data in the data store is generated based on the determined properties of the file, and in response to a request to read a portion of data from the file, a corresponding portion of the generated data is returned.

  • Publication number: 20210043334
    Abstract: An argon fluoride (ArF) laser system for inertial nuclear fusion energy production with lower required laser energy than other laser drivers. An Argon fluoride laser system uniformly illuminates a spherical capsule comprising an outer ablator wall surrounding an inner shell comprising the fusion fuel. The laser beams are adjusted spectrally to achieve a bandwidth of up to 12 THz and a coherence time as low as 80 femtoseconds that in combination with the short wavelength (193 nm) suppress laser plasma instabilities. Uniform spherical acceleration causes the inner shell of the target capsule to form a spherical assembly of compressed fuel surrounding a “hot spot” that has sufficient temperature, density and size to ignite and initiate a thermonuclear burn.

  • Patent number: 10259164
    Abstract: An unorganized point cloud may be created by an optical 3D scanner that scans a physical object, or by computer simulation. The point cloud may be converted into binary raster layers, which encode material deposition instructions for a multi-material 3D printer. In many cases, this conversion—from point cloud to binary raster files—is achieved without producing a 3D voxel representation and without producing a boundary representation of the object to be printed. The conversion may involve spatial queries to find nearby points, filtering material properties of the found points, looking up material mixing ratios, and dithering to produce binary raster files. These raster files may be sent to a multi-material 3D printer to control fabrication of an object. A user interface may display a preview of the object to be printed, and may accept user input to create or modify a point cloud.

  • Patent number: 10019448
    Abstract: A method of providing file data for a media file from a file system, where the format of the file requires that the file comprise a plurality of segments of file data located at pre-declared locations within the file. The file data making up the file is based upon derived file data. After receiving a request to open the file, a maximum segment length for the file is determined based on the desired properties of the file. In response to a request for the location of a segment within the file, a location calculated by considering each segment of the file to have the maximum segment length is returned. In response to a request for file data from a segment of the file, generated file data for the segment is returned, where the generated file data comprises the derived file data and padding data to give the generated file data the maximum segment length.

  • Patent number: 9836465
    Abstract: The present invention seeks to provide an improved file system that provides essence data for a media file in a way that does not require the contents of the entire file to be available before any file data can be provided. The present invention is reflected in a method of providing file data for a media file of a pre-determined format from a file system comprising a file record database and a data store, wherein the media file corresponds to a programme. The method comprises the steps of receiving details of the programme including the duration of the programme, and determining the layout of the media file in the pre-determined format from the received details of the programme, the layout including locations for essence data within the file. A file record for the media file is then created in the file record database. In response to a request for the location of essence data within the file, a location given by the determined layout of the media file is returned.

  • Publication number: 20170230433
    Abstract: Cross platform shared asset techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a version of an asset is received that is configured to support consumption via a corresponding application. Another version is formed of the asset as one or more images from one or more pages of the asset. Responsive to receipt of a request from an appliance to obtain the asset for consumption as part of a shared workspace, a determination is made as to whether the appliance is to consume the asset using the application. Responsive to the determination that the asset is not to be consumed by the appliance using the corresponding application, a communication is formed for receipt by the particular appliance via a network that includes at least said image from the other version of the asset.

  • Publication number: 20170230466
    Abstract: Various embodiments enable user-applied annotations that arecreated and visually associated with an asset on one appliance to be shared amongst and synchronized between other appliances working together in a collaborative workspace environment. As an annotation is made, a stroke collection is defined and provided into a formatted list that represents the annotation. The formatted list is transmitted to a collaboration server which then notifies other appliances of the new annotation. When the other appliances request the formatted list, the collaborative server transmits the formatted list to the other applications so that the new annotation can be rendered on a corresponding display device.

  • Patent number: 9727077
    Abstract: A system for reducing peak electromagnetic interference in a network device. The network device includes multiple clock sources and multiple clocked components. Each clocked component receives a clock signal with an actual clock frequency from a separate clock source. The clock signals have an identical nominal frequency. The actual frequency of each clock signal deviates from the nominal frequency within a predetermined range.
