  • Publication number: 20180121324
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for debug event handling. For example, methods may include receiving a request from a client device. Methods may include, responsive to receiving the request, identifying a set of instructions to be executed, wherein the set of instructions is associated with at least one breakpoint. Methods may include initiating execution of the set of instructions. Methods may include pausing execution of the set of instructions when an instruction of the set of instructions associated with a breakpoint is reached. Methods may include, after the breakpoint is reached and before a new request is received from the client device, transmitting, to the client device, a message that indicates that a breakpoint has been reached. Methods may include terminating execution of the set of instructions responsive to determining that a debugger interface on the client device is no longer available to control execution of the set of instructions.

  • Patent number: 9942622
    Abstract: A system synchronizes one or more media streams, such as video stream or audio streams, by embedding frame identifiers in each compressed media stream, and then by using synchronizing signals to render each frame simultaneously by referencing the embedded frame identifier. Since the frame identifier is embedded in between encoded frames of the compressed media stream without altering any of the compressed, encoded data, the frame identifier information could be rapidly embedded without creating lag associated with manipulating existing data. This technique could be used, for example, to synchronize a single HD video on a plurality of display devices (e.g. a football game on a wall of video monitors), or to synchronize a plurality of HD video streams on a single display device (e.g. a plurality of live video feeds on a single computer monitor).

  • Publication number: 20180087491
    Abstract: Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices are described that include a proof mass movably connected to a substrate by accordion springs disposed on opposite sides of the proof mass, with a coupler coupling two of the accordion springs together. The coupler is a bar in some implementations, and may be rigid. The coupler therefore restricts the motion of the accordion springs relative to each other. In this manner, the motion of the proof mass may be restricted to preferred types and frequencies.
