Abstract: In some implementations, a client device may detect user input indicating a requested time along a timeline of a video, the video being stored at a server device. The client device may check if a cached image having a timestamp within a precision margin of the requested time is stored in a memory of the client device. Under a condition that the cached image is present in the memory, the client device may retrieve the cached image from the memory of the client device. Under a condition that the cached image is not present in the memory, the client device may retrieve a corresponding image from the server device. The client device may adjust a size of the precision margin to be proportional to a length of the timeline such that the size of the precision margin proportionally increases and decreases with the length of the timeline.

Abstract: The disclosed subject matter generally relates to a lighting device including at least two optical output modules for jointly providing transformable output light. The transformable output light is transformable a diffuse light output and a light output that has higher contrast than the diffuse light.

Abstract: A housing for enabling coupling of light from a light source to an optical light guide. The housing allows for the optical light guide to rotate about its axis with respect to the housing and a light source while at the same time maintaining the optical coupling with the light source. Accordingly, it is desirable to couple light from a light source to an optical light guide, where the optical light guide is freely rotatable about its axis. This is obtained by a locking mechanism of the housing where the light source is arrangeable. The locking mechanism includes a circumferential structure adapted to receive at least one radial locking member of the optical light guide. The circumferential structure is configured such that the optical light guide is rotatable about its axis in the locking mechanism while maintaining a spatial relationship between the end portion of the optical light guide and the light source.
