Abstract: Dynamically evaluating candidate connections as alternatives to an active connection between a first computing device and a second computing device. The first computing device transitions to one of the candidate connections to replace the active connection based on the evaluation. The evaluation and transition occurs based on time intervals, events, or conditions. Maintaining the candidate connections enables mobile devices, for example, to be resilient to and tolerant of topology changes affecting the active connection.

Abstract: Control data templates are generated independent of a plurality of audio elements based on user input. The user input relates to parameter values and control inputs for operations. In response to receiving audio elements after the control data templates are generated, audio objects are generated to store audio sample data representing the audio elements. Control data is generated based on the parameter values and the control inputs for the operations in the control data templates. The control data specifies the operations to be performed while rendering the audio objects. The control data is then stored separately from the audio sample data in the audio objects. The audio objects can be communicated to downstream recipient devices for rendering and/or remixing.

Abstract: A coupler for connecting an implement to a machine includes a first mounting structure configured to attach the coupler to the implement. The first mounting structure includes a first actuator including a first cylinder rod extendable relative to a first cylinder body. The first cylinder rod has a first rod longitudinal axis. The first mounting structure also includes a first wedge attached to the first cylinder rod. The first wedge is movable between a retracted position and an extended position by the first actuator. The first wedge includes a first wedge tip insertable into the implement. The first wedge tip has a first wedge longitudinal axis. The first rod longitudinal axis is offset from the first wedge longitudinal axis to form a first opening extending through the coupler adjacent the first actuator. The coupler also includes a second mounting structure configured to attach the coupler to the machine.

Abstract: Systems and methods for collection and automatic analysis of opinions of media are provided. A representative method includes: receiving, from a user, media for review; automatically distributing the media to a pool of reviewers based on reviewer profiles; receiving, from the reviewers, information corresponding to opinions pertaining to the media; automatically generating a report based, at least in part, on the information received from the reviewers; and providing the report to the user.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described herein for a container with a unit dose of a concentrated substance that can be diluted and orally consumed using the container. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a container body that defines an opening in fluid communication with an interior of the container body. A cap is coupled to the container body and encloses the opening. A unit dose of a concentrated medicament or a concentrated contrast agent is disposed within the interior of the container body. The unit dose of concentrated medicament or contrast agent can be diluted to a select dilution strength with a volume of a liquid receivable through the opening and within the interior of the container body. In some embodiments, the apparatus can include a barrier member in which the container body and cap can be disposed to protect the medicament or contrast agent from light and/or moisture.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for enabling communication between security systems. In use, a first communication protocol of a first security system and a second communication protocol of a second security system are identified, where the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol are different such that the first security system and the second security system are incapable of communicating therebetween. Further, the first security system is updated with a first security definition and/or the second security system is updated with a second security definition for enabling communication between the first security system and the second security system.

Abstract: A method and a system for providing an alternative fulfillment for a buyer's unfulfilled order are described. The system has an order fulfillment issue detection module, an alternative fulfillment qualification module, a replacement item matching module, and a replacement item order module. The order fulfillment issue detection module detects a fulfillment delay of an item in an order placed in an online marketplace. The alternative fulfillment qualification module determines whether the fulfillment delay qualifies for an alternative fulfillment order. The replacement matching module determines a replacement item for the item. The replacement item order module cancels the order and replaces the order with the alternative fulfillment order for the replacement item.

Abstract: A flexible shipping delivery system has an online marketplace interface, a client interface, a shipping carrier interface, and a flexible shipping delivery engine. The online marketplace interface communicates with an online marketplace application. The client interface communicates with a client that places an order for an item on the online marketplace application. The client interface receives a shipping delivery preference of a user of the client. The shipping carrier interface communicates with a shipping carrier server. The shipping carrier server provides a tracking shipping status of the item. The flexible shipping delivery engine adjusts a delivery option of the item based on the tracking shipping status of the item and the shipping delivery preference.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product are provided for detecting unwanted data. A scan for unwanted data is performed to generate results of the scan. A context of the scan is then identified. Further, the presence of unwanted data is conditionally indicated based on both the results of the scan and the context of the scan.

Abstract: A process pulsation diagnostic system comprises a primary element, a sensor and a processor. The primary element generates a differential pressure along a fluid flow. The sensor samples the differential pressure. The processor generates a pulsation diagnostic based on a standard deviation of the differential pressure, such that the pulsation diagnostic is indicative of a degree of process pulsation in the fluid flow.
