Abstract: Systems and methods which provide for bidirectional data parity in a multi-service connected environment using a canonicalization and order connection data structure are described. Bidirectional data parity logic using a canonicalization and order connection data structure with respect to a plurality of systems of a multi-service connected environment may provide for the state of a particular order and/or other data for that order being accurately reflected in each such system for which corresponding record is maintained. Using a canonicalization database and an order connection database, bidirectional data parity logic may recognize all records for a particular instance of an order as being for that order, and thus provide data parity for that order throughout all systems having a record for that order instance.

Abstract: A method for automated image capture of a body tissue in situ, comprising: providing an imaging device configured to transmit an image stream of a body tissue; and using at least one hardware processor for: receiving the image stream, identifying a medical accessory appearing in the image stream, and capturing multiple images of the body tissue, wherein (i) at least one of the images is captured before said identifying, and (ii) at least one of the images is captured at one or more specified times upon said identifying.

Abstract: A continuous process for fractioning, combination, and recombination of asphalt sources into asphalt components for pelletization of asphalt and asphalt-containing products such that the pellets formed are generally uniform in dimension, freely flowing, free from agglomeration, and the pelletized asphalt is packaged, and preferably compatibly packaged, for additional processing and applications.

Abstract: A device stores a traffic management profile for satellite network traffic that provides default percentages for classes of traffic that can pass when contention for limited bandwidth exists. The device receives packets having class markings and designated for transmission over a Demand-Assigned Time Division Multiple Access (DA-TDMA) network and identifies each of the received packets as one of a transmission control protocol (TCP) packet or a non-TCP packet. The device assigns the received packets to different queues based on the class markings and the identifying as a TCP packet or non-TCP packet, and determines available transmission bandwidth for a particular time slot of the DA-TDMA network associated with the device. The device also schedules packets from the different queues based on the default percentages in the traffic management profile and the transmission bandwidth for the particular time slot.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus are presented for providing unlimited access to either or both of media content, such as music, and applications. A media server environment can be provided, which maintains an instance of each subscriber account, a central archive of media content, and an application catalog. Selected media content can be downloaded to, and stored locally at, a subscriber device, such as on a secure storage device. Also, selected applications can be locally installed on the subscriber device. Access to the local media content and locally installed applications can be controlled through the media server environment based on the status of the subscriber's account. If the subscriber's account becomes inactive, access to the downloaded media content and installed applications can be disabled. Once the subscriber's account is reactivated, access to the downloaded media content and applications can be restored.

Abstract: A low profile ultrasonic emitter comprises a support member operable to support an ultrasonic emittive material, the support member including a plurality of support ribs, each support rib being spaced from adjacent support ribs and extending longitudinally along the support member. An ultrasonic emittive film is coupled to upper portions of the support ribs so as to be carried by the support member. A first electric lead is coupled to a first face of the emittive film and a second electric lead coupled to an opposing face of the emittive film. The first and second leads are coupled to their respective faces adjacent one another but staggered from one another so as to not overlap one another when the film is positioned between the leads.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and systems that can allow a digital signal processor (DSP) in an ultrasonic audio system to be adjusted according to a listener's preferences. In one embodiment, the listener or user can attempt to configure a DSP through a plurality of user interfaces. In another embodiment, the listener can provide an audiogram, previously generated by an audiologist, and send said audiogram to the manufacturer in order to adjust the DSP in the ultrasonic sound system to his/her hearing preferences.
