Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, software, and apparatuses may calculate and inform a consumer of company privacy scores corresponding to companies with which the consumer has a corresponding account, or for a company associated with a web site that a consumer may visit. A consumer privacy score may also be determined, based on the company privacy scores. The company privacy scores may be based on a calculation including elements of a privacy practice of the corresponding company and elements of a privacy policy of the corresponding company.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a communication network within which devices participating in a communication session dynamically switch between sending media streams to a participating network device through one of multiple communication channel options. For instance, when establishing a communication session (e.g., a video conference), a sending network device establishes two potential communication channels with a receiving network device participating in the communication session. The sending network device determines which of the two potential communication channels is best suited for providing a media stream related to the communication session (e.g., an audio and/or video media stream), and assigns that communication channel as an active communication channel over which the sending network device provides the media stream to the receiving network device.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of facilitating decomposition of sound signals. The method includes receiving multiple sound signals from multiple communication devices communicatively coupled to multiple sound recording devices. Further, the method includes processing multiple sound signals using at least one sound processing algorithm. Further, the method includes generating multiple sound layers corresponding to multiple sound signals based on the processing. Further, the method includes generating a visualization based on generating multiple sound layers. Further, the method includes transmitting the visualization corresponding to multiple sound layers to a user device. Further, the method includes storing multiple sound layers in association with multiple sound layer identifiers. Further, the method includes receiving a request for a sound layer from the user device. Further, the method includes retrieving the sound layer based on the request including the sound layer identifier.

Abstract: A method for selectively muting a portion of a digital audio file has a user account that is associated to a PC device and is managed by a remote server. The system for executing the method has a set of playback modulation processes that enable the user to control how an audio file is played. The method begins by inputting the audio file into a splitter process in order to identify a set of distinct audio tracks. The method then identifies every word found in the audio file and synchronizes a textual transcript of the words with a timeline of the song. The user is then prompted to mute a desired track from the set of distinct audio tracks. Additionally, the user can select a desired process to further manipulate one or more distinct tracks from the set of distinct audio tracks.

Abstract: An air core, dry type, power reactor (10) of the type having multiple concentrically positioned winding layers (12) extending along a central axis and above arms (24) of a first spider unit (16) when the reactor is horizontally positioned with respect to a horizontal ground plane, the winding layers (12) arranged in spaced-apart relation providing air gaps (20) between the winding layers allowing air to flow along the winding layers. A deflector (40) is positioned between the winding layers (12) and the ground plane to receive air from wind blowing toward the reactor (10) and guide the air in an upward direction from the deflector (40) and along the gaps (20).

Abstract: An air core reactor (47) including a plurality of concentric conductor winding packages (44, 46) wherein a force (F+) generated by the interaction of current (+) flowing through one package and a magnetic field (42) generated by the reactor is out of phase (F?) with a force generated in another package, thereby effectively mitigating audible sound generated by power operation of the reactor. In one embodiment (FIG. 3), the out of phase force may be generated when at least one winding (38c, 37d) of one package (38) is configured to conduct a current (?) that is at least 10 degrees out of phase with a current (+) conducted by another package (40) or other windings (38a, 38b) of the reactor (36).

Abstract: Multimedia files, such as audio programming, are currently available to Internet users through a combination of their personal computer, an optional portable digital audio player, and an Internet connection. Many audio programs are now currently distributed over the Internet in a syndicated form known as a “podcast”, allowing users to access the latest version or “episode” of the program. The disclosed systems and methods provide a convenient, publicly-accessible system for allocating and using dedicated phone numbers to enable access to these programs. A person can simply place a telephone call and listen to such syndicated or otherwise distributed audio programming through the telephone network without the use of a computer or portable digital audio player.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods and systems for transmitting advertising content to a messaging device and playing and/or viewing the advertisements. In one representative embodiment, a method of transmitting advertising content to a user of a messaging device comprises the user requesting access to a message file on the messaging device. The request can be transmitted over a network to an advertising content server. The method can also comprise transmitting one or more advertisement files to the messaging device from the advertising content server over the network and playing or displaying the one or more advertisements when the message file is accessed on the messaging device.
