Abstract: An apparatus, system, or method wirelessly sends an audio component of a multimedia channel to one or more wireless computing devices while a visual component of the multimedia channel is playing on a video monitor. The audio component may be packetized into data packets and broadcast via a network such that the data packets can be received and played by the wireless computing devices in synchronization with the visual component playing on the video monitor. A channel listing may inform the wireless computing devices what channels are available. A visual content that is not the visual component of the multimedia channel may be displayed on the wireless computing device while an audio component of the multimedia channel is streamed to the wireless computing device.

Abstract: Variable displacement systems, utilizing a phase relationship controller to determine and control the volumetric displacement of liquid and gas compression systems, including applications of said systems to continuously variable, constant speed power transmissions and to variable compression-ratio internal combustion engines.

Abstract: Known lipid molecules of a matrix are grouped into lipid classes and the lipid classes are further grouped into a pass-through group and a mobility separation group based on isobaric interferences. A separation system separates known lipid molecules from a matrix sample and an ion source ionizes the matrix sample. Two injections are performed. For the first injection a DMS device is put into passive mode, and for the second injection the DMS device is used to resolve isobaric interferences. A tandem mass spectrometer performs MRM scans of the pass-through group for the first injection and MRM scans of the mobility separation group for the second injection. A processor quantitates each lipid molecule in the matrix sample by comparing the MRM intensity values obtained for the first and second injections to MRM intensity and concentration values for known standards of the known lipid molecules of the matrix.

Abstract: Described herein are nitrated lipids and methods of making and using the nitrated lipids.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, or method wirelessly sends an audio component of a multimedia channel to one or more wireless computing devices while a visual component of the multimedia channel is playing on a video monitor. The audio component may be packetized into data packets and broadcast via a network such that the data packets can be received and played by the wireless computing devices in synchronization with the visual component playing on the video monitor. A channel listing may inform the wireless computing devices what channels are available. A user of the wireless computing device may request that the visual component playing on a video monitor be set to a user-selected component.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, or method may wirelessly send an audio component of a multimedia channel to one or more wireless computing devices while a visual component of the multimedia channel is playing on a video monitor. The extracted audio component of the multimedia content may be packetized into data packets and broadcast via a network such that the data packets can be received by the wireless computing devices and the audio component can be played by the wireless computing devices in synchronization with the visual component playing on the video monitor. A channel listing may inform the wireless computing devices what channels are available. A visual content that is not the visual component of the multimedia channel may be displayed on the wireless computing device while an audio component of the multimedia channel is streamed to the wireless computing device. A direction indicator may be displayed on the wireless computing device to indicate the direction of a video monitor playing the visual component.

Abstract: Systems and methods for use in enabling performance review of certified authentication services for use with a payment network are disclosed. One exemplary method includes identifying at least one performance metric of an authentication service. The authentication service is implemented into a payment network and certified to the payment network. The exemplary method also includes measuring the at least one performance metric of the authentication service, electronically notifying a service provider associated with the authentication service when the at least one performance metric fails to satisfy a defined threshold, and transmitting to the service provider at least one remedial action for the authentication service and at least one consequence for failure to satisfy the remedial action, whereby the payment network is configured to monitor the certified authentication service after certification of the authentication service.

Abstract: A card extraction apparatus which is useful for removing a card from a card storage device is disclosed. The card extraction apparatus has an affixing element to affix the card to the card extraction apparatus and further has a tab member which a user may grip to apply an extracting force.

Abstract: A system for extracting an assembly component from an assembly uses an extractor that applies a gripping force around a perimeter of the assembly component, a coupler that applies an extraction force to the extractor and a tensioner fastened to the coupler that generates the extraction force, the extraction force causing the assembly component to slide out of the assembly. The tensioner applies an extraction force to the extractor which pulls the assembly component from the assembly.
