Abstract: A data processing apparatus includes circuitry that is configured to: receive, from a second data processing apparatus via a web application, an electronic file comprising audio information encoded in a spatial audio format; output the received electronic file for virtualisation of the audio information encoded in the spatial audio format, the virtualisation comprising changing a number of channels of the audio information to allow playback of the audio information via the web application while retaining a spatial audio effect of the audio information; receive a virtualised version of the electronic file comprising the virtualised audio information; and provide, via the web application, the virtualised version of the electronic file.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments that facilitate remote emulation of computing devices. A request is received from a client device to evaluate an application without installing the application upon the client device. The application is then executed in a hosted environment, and a video signal from the application is captured. User interface data for a browser executed in the client device is generated. The browser renders the video signal and captures user input relative to the video signal. The user interface data and data encoding the video signal are sent to the client device.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for performing optical analyses in a harsh environment are disclosed. Some of the systems and methods of the present disclosure include fluorescence, absorption, and reflectance detection using a drum spectrometer. Other systems and methods of the present disclosure include a measurement channel and a parallel reference channel concurrently filtering optical signals.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments that facilitate remote emulation of computing devices. A model of a computing device and an application that is executable in the computing device are identified. The application is executed in a hosted environment. A video signal of the application is encoded into a media stream. A user interface is encoded for rendering in a client. The user interface includes a graphical representation of the model of the computing device. A screen of the graphical representation of the model of the computing device is configured to render at least a portion of the video signal from the media stream.

Abstract: A semiconductor structure comprising a p-i-n double heterostructure in which a high solubility layer is provided that reduces the diffusion of p-type dopants from a cladding layer into the active region. The high solubility layer is preferably formed between the p-type doped cladding layer and the active region.
