Abstract: In various embodiments, a manifest customization application selects one or more video streams that are derived from a first video source file and are included in a media package for a media title for inclusion in a video track. After generating a manifest file that itemizes the video track and indicates that an alternate video track can be made available, the manifest customization application transmits the manifest file to a client device. Upon receiving a request from the client device to generate an alternate manifest file that itemizes the alternate video track, the manifest customization application selects one or more video streams that are derived from a second video source file and are included in the media package for inclusion in the alternative video track. After generating the alternate manifest file based on the alternate video track, the manifest customization application transmits the alternate manifest file to the client device.

Abstract: In various embodiments a media processing pipeline generates and distributes streams for playback. The media processing pipeline encodes a first video source file that is associated with a media title to generate a first video stream set. The media processing pipeline encodes a second video source file that is associated with the media title to generate a second video stream set. The media processing pipeline generates first video metadata for the first video stream set and second video metadata for the second video stream set. The first video metadata and the second video metadata include different sets of values for a set of video characteristics. The media processing pipeline generates a media package that includes the first video stream set, the first video metadata, the second video stream set, and the second video metadata. The media processing pipeline transmits the media package to at least one server device.

The ZW treatment system includes a ZW process employing the following individual processes: a separation and extraction process, a blend-heat process, a hydrolysis and acidification process, first-in, first-out (FIFO) anaerobic digestion process, an aerobic boost-blend process, and smart delivery process. A separation and extraction system, a blend-heat system, hydrolysis and acidification system, and a FIFO system performing the ZW treatment process may include a variety of tanks, where each tank may be placed in an enclosure comprising a modular container which, in turn, comprises a modular container system designed for mobility and transportable to remote sites as part of the smart delivery process.

Abstract: Techniques for determining contact information for an anonymous device on a telecommunications network are described herein. The telecommunications network can implement a server to determine data representing a callback number or other subscriber information for a user equipment (UE) associated with an anonymous status. The server can generate a request for the data based on identifying an anonymous status associated with a message from the UE. The server can request the data from a gateway mobile location center (GMLC) of the telecommunications network using a Representational State Transfer (REST) interface. The server can establish a communication session for the UE by sending the callback number and/or the subscriber information to an emergency service center (e.g., to enable a Public Service Answering Point to communicate with the UE if the communication session is lost).

Abstract: An analog-to-digital (ADC) converter system and method of using the system that can be used in low power situations. The converter can periodically or recurrently turn off a reference standard in order to conserve power and instead using a stable supply source as a reference voltage. A precise conversion for signal from the analog to the digital domain while maintaining a low quiescent current.

Abstract: Techniques for selectively blocking/unblocking data roaming for outbound user equipment (UE) by modifying subscriber data, are discussed herein. The present system may configure a roaming steering component to query a subscriber server of a home network operator for an account profile. The roaming steering component may use the account profile to selectively modify subscriber data to enable or disable data roaming and/or roaming network services for individual subscribers. The roaming steering component may also enable the home network operator to determine a distribution for outbound traffic of the outbound UE to a preferred partner.

Abstract: System and methods for inter-network user equipment (UE) registration are described herein. A managed access system (MAS) network may receive a request for services from an unauthorized UE and may generate a registration request that it transmits to the UE's home network using a call session control function (CSCF) and the Cx interface. One or more diameter routing agents on the path between the MAS network and the destination network may determine whether the registration request was received on the Cx network and if not, may discard the message. Other criteria may also be used to determine whether to forward such requests.

Abstract: Systems and methods for establishing a communication interface between control functions of a network core and a network data node associated with a user side packet core are discussed herein. The system can enable configuration information to be stored and dynamically updated by the network data node such that control nodes of the user side packet core requesting service from the network core are provided with up to date configuration information associated with active control functions. As control functions are activated and deactivated, the configuration information can be updated to reflect the current state of the network core and ensure that user device connects are routed to active control functions configured to provide user requested services.

Abstract: A water ride is disclosed. The water ride has a flume adapted to have riders or ride vehicles travel from an initial location at a first elevation to a terminal location at a second elevation lower than the first elevation. The flume includes at least one sliding section wherein the riders or ride vehicles slide on a sliding surface of the flume and at least one floating section wherein the riders or ride vehicles float in the flume. The floating section is fluidly connected to the first sliding section and includes a plurality of flow-altering elements attached to and protruding from the flume.

Abstract: A network may include an International Serials Data System (ISDS) that is configured to register and determine an identity of a receiving or originating user equipment (UE) that has a home network that operates using a different format or standard than the current network. The ISDS may be configured to generate transmissions on behalf of the UE for registration and identification for outgoing and incoming voice or text messages using the format of both networks.

Abstract: As described herein, one of a third generation (3G) radio access network (RAN) or a fifth generation (5G) RAN may be selected to receive a handover of a communication session from a fourth generation (4G) RAN. The 3G RAN or 5G RAN may be selected based on at least one of performance measurements for the 3G RAN and the 5G RAN, a preference for the 3G RAN or the 5G RAN, or a performance threshold for the 3G RAN or for the 5G RAN. The handover to the selected one of the 3G RAN or 5G RAN may then be initiated.
