Abstract: A method includes receiving a media stream at a media device and converting, at the media device, the media stream into data packets. The method includes initiating, with the media device, end-to-end connections between the media device and a receiving device via a plurality of cellular network and determining, at the media device, a quality of service factor for each cellular network of the plurality of cellular networks. The method includes selecting, at the media device, a single cellular network of the plurality of cellular networks based on the quality of service factor for each cellular network of the plurality of cellular networks. The method also includes transmitting the data packets from the media device via the single cellular network to the receiving device.

Abstract: A particular method includes receiving a media stream that includes digital broadcast grade video. The method further includes compressing the media stream to form a compressed digital media stream using a Joint Photographic Experts Group 2000 compliant compression coding system. The method further includes converting the compressed digital media stream into data packets. The method further includes selecting a cellular data network from a plurality of available cellular data networks based on one or more quality of service factors. The method further includes transmitting the data packets via the cellular data network.

Abstract: The present invention relates to nonpeptidic oligomers. Methods for preparing nonpeptidic oligomers from amino acids by replacing the amide bond with heterocyclic rings are also disclosed.

Abstract: An electrostatic containment fusion generator is comprised of a generally spherical capacitor having an outer plate at ground and a negatively charged inner plate. A reaction chamber, comprised of two pairs of spaced apart permanent magnets, is disposed within the inner plate. An ion source means provides a deuteron beam to enter into a figure-8 orbit between the two pairs of magnets. A Faraday cage exists between the two pairs which neutralizes space charge in the center region of the beam. An arced cut portion on each magnet assists in the beam's entry into the Faraday cage, while a path correction means corrects the effects of the inverse field created by the cut portion. Dual beam establishment means are also provided.
