Abstract: A transcoding service is described that is capable of transcoding or otherwise processing content, such as video, audio or multimedia content, by utilizing one or more pipelines. A pipeline can enable a user to submit transcoding jobs (or other processing jobs) into an available pipeline, where a transcoding service (or other such service) assigns one or more computing resources to process the jobs received to each pipeline. The transcoding service and the pipelines can be provided by at least one service provider (e.g., a cloud computing provider) or other such entity to a plurality of customers. A service provider can also provide the computing resources (e.g., servers, virtual machines, etc.) used to process the transcoding jobs from the pipelines.

Abstract: A photographic print media comprising: a transparent synthetic organic polymeric layer adjacent and affixed to an opaque or semi-transparent translucent synthetic organic polymeric layer host to light scattering whitening particulate and diffused dyestuff. The invention as disclosed provides for a novel new method of creating and displaying digital images in a media that provides for photographic quality full color images to be printed with translucency and the ability to view the image from both sides.

Abstract: An image receptive medium comprising a semi-translucent polymer containing semi-translucent particulate capable of attenuating visible light and imparting color or haze is disclosed. The image receptive medium includes an image receiving layer containing particulate with various light attenuating properties. The image receiving layer can receive a dye through sorption or diffusion. The attenuating properties of the particulate act to enhance the quality of the image by obscuring background and scattering light to illuminate the dye. The result is a durable image requiring only a single layer which is highly visible on opaque, clear, or colored substrates.

Abstract: A network adaptor having a first and second computer interface for connection to the administration and network interface of a computer is disclosed. The network adaptor further comprises a network interface for connecting the adaptor to a computer network. A processor forms part of the adaptor. The adaptor separates administration data from network data and exchanges administration data with the computer administration interface. Preferably, the computer network interface and the adaptor network interface comprise Ethernet interfaces. The administration interfaces are preferably serial ports. Preferably, the network adaptor has its own network identifier and offers network services such as a TCP/IP stack, and a higher level network service such as a TELNET, FTP or SNMP service. Adminstration data may be directed to the adminstration port by the service. The adaptor may also comprise environmental sensors and switches, which may monitor and control the operation of the attached computer.
