Abstract: A system including a user interface adapted to receive a user input and communicatively connected with a communications module, a foodstuff database stored in memory including a set of available foodstuff transactions, and a controller module adapted to receive the user input receive at the user interface by way of the communications module, and configured to query the foodstuff database based on the user input, identify at least a subset of available foodstuff transactions based on the query, and send the identified subset of available foodstuff transactions to the user interface by way of the communications module.

Abstract: An identification of a primary snapshot created for a primary storage system is received. A first request for a first metadata of a first file directory structure object associated with the primary snapshot is issued. A second request for data content of the first file directory structure object associated with the primary snapshot is determined to be sent to a recipient device based on a received response to the first request. A third request for a second metadata of a second file directory structure object associated with the primary snapshot is determined to be sent to the recipient device. Timing and ordering of issuance of a plurality of requests that at least include the second request and the third request to the recipient device are managed based on a determined performance metric of the recipient device and corresponding relative impact to the performance metric of the recipient device.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present disclosure relates to system comprises an encoding device. Said encoding device comprises a compression unit, a quantizer, a bit estimator, a bit rate encoder and a variable length encoder. An embodiment also is a method of encoding. Said method estimates a number of bits to encode a macroblock after compressing the data stream. Then the estimated bit encoded by a bit rate encoder and further quantized by the quantizer to get the final encoded bit stream. The number of bits required to encode a macroblock is estimated after the quantization process and before the encoding process. The macroblock bit estimator estimates the number of bits required to encode a particular macroblock depending on the quantized AC coefficients of that macroblock and the quantized AC coefficients of the neighboring frames normalized at a macroblock level.

Abstract: Rate control algorithms are adapted to cover multiple encoding standards. A rate controller includes an input adaptation interface, a core rate controller, and an output adaptation interface. The input adaptation interface converts rate control input parameters of a target encoding standard to corresponding native control input parameters of the rate controller. The core rate controller is coupled to the output of the input adaptation interface generating output parameters conforming to its native encoding standard. The output adaptation interface is coupled to the output of the core rate controller converting the generated output parameters to equivalent rate control output parameters conforming to the target encoding standard.
