Abstract: A continuously variable nozzle system includes a nozzle body (5) with an inlet and an outlet. A conduit is defined between the inlet and the outlet by a series connection of components which includes a flow meter (10). The flow meter (10) has a chamber (83) with internal helical splines (82) that are configured to interact with a spray liquid passing through the chamber (83) and create a cyclone-like effect. A sphere (52) is located inside the chamber (83) for free movement along a circular path (106). A sensor is located outside of the chamber (83) and configured to detect motion of the sphere (52) and generate an output (9) signal in response to detected motion.

Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can automatically name moments (e.g., a time-based collections of images) based on the accuracy of the location data corresponding to the captured image. The computing device can, for example, send location coordinates for an image associated with a moment to a location server. The computing device can receive a hierarchical list of location strings corresponding to the location coordinates from the location server. The computing device can filter the location strings based on an accuracy metric associated with the location coordinates for the image. The computing device can suggest or select a name for the collection of images based on the filtered location strings.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for organizing media items according to a contextual moment in which they were captured. Media items can be tagged with unique moments by using temporal data and location data to define moments and to partition collections of media items by the moment they were captured.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media identifying duplicate media items that occur during a batch upload process from a client device to the cloud media library and performing media de-duplication and re-mapping of duplicate media items.

Abstract: Methods and arrangements are provided for managing, caching and optimizing a media file library on a user device and a cloud media library in a cloud storage space. Once media files are created and stored on the user device, they are uploaded to the cloud storage space. A caching and optimizing strategy is then employed both on the device and the cloud storage space, according to a set of optimization rules. The rules relate to efficiently managing the storage limitations on both the device and the cloud space as needed. Original media files and their cached versions can be dynamically assigned to be automatically deleted from the user device in favor of being uploaded to the cloud space, as device storage space becomes limited. These media files and their cached versions can be automatically re-downloaded from the cloud space to the user device when a user or application requires them.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a dynamic caching system is described. The apparatus for dynamic caching comprises a UCI creator to create a unique content identifier for a request for a requested data set, proxy receiving logic to receive the requested data set from the origin server, and a compilation engine to create a compile object from the requested data set. The apparatus further comprises an assembly engine to, on a subsequent request for the data set, interpret the compile object to create the requested data set. The apparatus further comprises a response logic to serve the requested data set to a requester, without impacting the origin server.
