Abstract: Methods and apparatus to decrease DNS lookup times for mobile clients are disclosed. An example DNS cache peering system includes a mobile DNS cache; a mobile DNS server configured to, when an IP address for a URL is not found in the DNS cache, send a DNS lookup request for the URL; a ground-based DNS server to receive the DNS lookup request from the mobile DNS server, and send, in response, a DNS lookup response including the IP address for the URL to the mobile DNS server; and a ground-based DNS peer engine server configured to capture the DNS lookup response, and multicast DNS information from the DNS lookup response to a plurality of mobile DNS peer engine clients, wherein the plurality of mobile DNS peer engine clients are configured to store the DNS information in respective ones of a plurality of mobile DNS caches.

Abstract: A process of tissue regeneration is provided that includes the administration of a stem cell topically to a surface of a tissue. The tissue being in vivo in a subject or in vitro. The tissue has a biocompatible matrix applied around the stem cell and in contact with the surface. After sufficient time, the stem cell infiltrates and regenerates the tissue. A composition is also provided that includes an injured or diseased tissue with a plurality of stem cells proximal to the tissue surface in a biocompatible. A process of increasing a level of cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, anti-apoptotic or anti-necrotic factors in a tissue is provided that includes the administration of a stem cell topically to a surface of a tissue in a biocompatible matrix. After sufficient time, the stem cell releases soluble pro-regenerative factors to increase the levels in the tissue.

Abstract: A method and system for accessing video file content is provided. When a user encounters a web page with video content, the user can select to view the video content and wait for the server to transcode the video file and to stream the transcoded video file to the user's client device. Alternatively, the user may request that the server transcode the video file and to send the transcoded video file to the user's device, where the transcoded video file will be stored. While waiting for the video to be transcoded, the user may browse other websites, for example. In addition, a user may a request may request that the server transcode the video file and to stream the transcoded video file to the user's device in real-time.

Abstract: A method and system for rendering web content is provided. According to one embodiment, when a user of a hand-held device makes a request to a server for web content, the server determines whether the request includes a metric data key. If the key is included, the server uses the key to retrieve a set of corresponding visual metric data from a database. The sever renders the requested content according to the retrieved visual metric data. If the key is not included in the request, then the server transmits to the device a request for visual metric data. The device responsively transmits back to the server the requested metric data, and the server renders the requested web content according to the received metric data. Additionally, the server may generate a unique key corresponding to the received metric data, transmit the key to the device for inclusion in future web content requests, and store the key and metric data in a database for later access.
