The one or more servers serve the one or more webpages to the one or more broadcasting clients and one or more viewing clients in a social network. In various embodiments, the one or more servers receive the streaming video and/or audio data using a real time protocol and authenticate the streaming video and/or audio data by decrypting and authenticating an encrypted token in the meta data of the real time protocol.

Abstract: This invention improves upon existing pay-per-click arrangements by periodically generating a code associated end users. This code, preferably in the form of a serial number, is compared to the end user of the website, such that by observing a metric like the number of clicks for a given period of time, be it a short time or a longer period, such as a day or a week, the system can automatically determine if certain clicks are illegitimate. This allows the pay-per-click company to more fairly invoice the merchants, thereby preventing fraudulent over use.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for controlling the temperature of an electronic component of a computer. In one embodiment, a system includes a compressor, a compact cooling block, a condenser, and a controller. The compressor compresses or cools a refrigerant. The condenser receives the refrigerant and condenses the refrigerant. The compact cooling block is thermally coupled to an electronic component of a computer, receives the refrigerant from the condenser, transfers thermal energy from the electronic component to the refrigerant, and sends the refrigerant to back to the compressor. The controller is in electronic communication with the compressor and controls the compressor based on a pulse-width modulation (PWM) signal in order to maintain a temperature range for the electronic component. In another embodiment, a system is provided that controls the temperature of a circulating liquid that, in turn, cools an electronic component of a computer.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus control the temperature of an electronic component of a computer. A temperature sensor is read that measures a temperature of an electronic component of a computer. The speed of a compressor is adjusted based on the read temperature to maintain a pre-defined temperature range for the electronic component. The compressor compresses a refrigerant. The refrigerant is sent to a condenser that condenses the refrigerant. The refrigerant is sent to a heat exchanger that is thermally coupled to the electronic component and that transfers thermal energy from the electronic component to the refrigerant. Finally, the refrigerant is sent back to the compressor. Solenoid valves can be used to control the flow of refrigerant to heat exchangers for one or more additional electronic components.

Abstract: Techniques for maintenance-free on-demand high-efficient hydrogen generation using a small amount of electricity are described. A piece of foam is provided in the fluid used to generate the hydrogen. The foam, similar to a sponge structure, includes a plurality of open cells to accommodate the fluid. In a sense, the foam has been made to have the maximum contact with the fluid. When applied on with an electrical power (current or voltage), the fluid causes electrolysis and pyrolysis to happen so as to generate hydrogen and oxygen (oxy-hydrogen). Depending on implementation, the electrical power is electronically pulsed electricity and helps drive the fluid in a container to vibrate at an electrical resonance of the container.

Abstract: This invention is related to web-traffic and used in online advertising including interactive TV, cellular telephone or Personal Digital Assistant PDA. It discloses a system to detect invalid and fraudulent impressions and clicks and method of pay-per-click (when advertisers pay upon users actually clicking) and pay-per-impression (when advertisers pay based on number of views) advertising arrangements, which periodically generates a code associated with the search-engine users. This code, preferably in the form of a serial number, is compared to the user of the website, such that by observing a metric like the number of clicks for a given period of time, be it a short time or a longer period, such as a day or a week, the system can automatically determine if certain clicks are illegitimate. This allows the search engine company to fairly invoice the merchants, thereby preventing fraudulent over use.

Abstract: This invention improves upon the existing art by implementing encryption at the “font level,” thereby, in affect, protecting each independent small portion of a text file or image file. Such a capability offers enormous advantages, including the protection of subparts of a data file from the remainder of the information to be protected, such that a would-be hacker able to decode one of the constructs of the font level would not be able to unscramble the entire text file or image file. In the preferred embodiment, the font encryption system is provided as a plug-in improvement to the existing operating system, thereby facilitating streaming encryption on the fly in a manner which is transparent to the end user. That is to say, in contrast to existing modalities, use of the improved technique would not require deep “hooks” into the computer file system or file-sharing system.

Abstract: Improved structures of cooling systems that may be used in air conditioning or refrigeration are described. To achieve a high efficiency in converting cooling effect from one or more cooling units, antifreeze liquid used to absorb the cooling effect is forced to pass through a box or container made out of graphite or thermally conductive metal or alloy holding a sponge-like structure or foam, also made out of graphite or thermally conductive metal or alloy, where the foam including open cells provides maximum surface contact with the liquid. Further the liquid is sprayed or vaporized onto the foam and passes through the foam by gravity or pressure. The cooled liquid is exited from the container for use in air conditioning or refrigeration.
