Abstract: A system may include a controller coupled to a user interface. A user may provide user commands specifying mapping relationships between one or more audio inputs and one or more audio zones via the user interface. The controller may be configured to determine individual audio inputs to be outputted to individual audio zones based on a priority policy. The system may further include audio streaming applications coupled to the controller. The controller may launch the audio streaming applications to the user interface for interaction with the user. The audio streaming applications may provide audio streams to be outputted at the individual audio zones. The system may further include a streaming interface coupled to the controller and the audio streaming applications and configured to receive the audio streams. The streaming interface may be further configured to transmit the audio streams to output devices of the individual audio zones.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved vascular occlusion device having improved flexibility and retention of the type fabricated from braided tubular metal fabric having an expanded preset configuration and an elongated collapsed reduced diameter configuration for delivery through a catheter to a treatment site and shaped to create an occlusion of an abnormal opening in a body organ or vessel, the woven metal fabric having a memory property whereby the medical device tends to return to said expanded preset configuration when unconstrained. The device further including at least one disk portion adjacent a body cylindrical portion formed from the fabric and having a transition diameter between the disk and cylindrical portion, significantly smaller than the diameter of the disk and the diameter of the cylindrical portion.

Abstract: Provided is a scanning micromirror including a reflective surface rotatable with respect to a rotation axis, a rim disposed on the outside of the reflective surface, a spring positioned on the rotation axis and connected to the reflective surface, and a connector connecting the reflective surface and the rim. The rim may include a first sub-rim disposed on one side and a second sub-rim disposed on the other side with respect to the spring.

Abstract: An exemplary system generates a plurality of different content files each including data representative of content of a virtual reality world, and provides the plurality of different content files to a media player device via a network. In particular, the generated and provided plurality of different content files comprises at least one of a plurality of uniform-resolution content files and a plurality of mixed-resolution content files. The plurality of uniform-resolution content files are each associated with a different respective center point within the virtual reality world. The plurality of mixed-resolution content files each correspond to one respective content sector of a plurality of partially overlapping content sectors that together form a view of the virtual reality world associated with a single center point, the one respective content sector being encoded in a high resolution while a remainder of the content sectors are encoded in a low resolution.

Abstract: An exemplary interactive media content provider system generates overall data representative of interactive media content. The exemplary interactive media content provider system concurrently provides the overall data to both a first media player device associated with a first user and a second media player device associated with a second user by way of a point-to-multipoint media delivery protocol. The first media player device and the second media player device may each be configured to render different portions of the overall data to respective display screens of the media player devices at a particular point in time based on different user input from the first user and the second user, respectively, as the first user and the second user independently interact with the interactive media content. Corresponding methods and systems are also described.

Abstract: A device may receive information that identifies available content associated with multicast streams available for transmission via a network. The device may determine content selected from the available content. The selected content may be associated with a multicast stream available for transmission via the network. The device may receive the multicast stream associated with the selected content via an air interface. The device may process the multicast stream into a format compatible with a connection interface. The device may output the processed multicast stream to a display device, that is different from the device, via the connection interface.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide adaptability in a mobile ad hoc network (MANET), based on an existing protocol, such as adaptive hybrid domain routing (AHDR). The systems and methods are especially suited for fast changing topologies that may change after a reactive route discovery has been completed.

Abstract: A service quality metric, that measures the quality of a multicast broadcast that is being received by a mobile device, may be determined. In one implementation, a method may include receiving a radio signal corresponding to a multicast broadcast of content that was encoded using a forward error correction (FEC) technique in which the content is segmented and encoded as a plurality of blocks; and reassembling the content corresponding to the received radio signal. The method may further include determining an FEC failure rate based on a relative occurrence of the successfully reassembled blocks to the unsuccessfully reassembled blocks; determining a service quality metric based on the FEC failure rate; and providing a visual indication of the service quality metric.

Abstract: A device is configured to receive a request to provide data traffic associated with a user device. The device is configured to determine network information associated with a set of networks. The device may be associated with a small cell long term evolution (“LTE”) network, which may connect to the set of networks. The set of networks may include a macro cell LTE network and a fiber optic network. The network information may include information that identifies a condition of the set of networks. The device is configured to identify a particular network, of the set of networks, based on the network information, and provide the data traffic, via the small cell LTE network and the particular network, based on identifying the particular network.

Abstract: A device provides, to another device, a start request for an evolved multimedia broadcast multicast services (eMBMS) session, and receives eMBMS session traffic from the other device based on the start request. The device determines track information from the eMBMS session traffic, and decodes the eMBMS session traffic into a format understood by the device. The device determines quality information associated with the eMBMS session traffic, and presents, for display, the decoded eMBMS session traffic, the track information, and the quality information associated with the eMBMS session traffic.
