Abstract: The present disclosure relates to streaming of video content, including a method of operating an electronic device for browsing video content displayed at a display of the electronic device. Several video tiles are displayed at the display and each video tile comprises video content associated with a respective video stream. While the video tiles are being displayed at the display and while the video content of said video tiles is being played at the display, the electronic device may receive a request, or instruction, to preview played video content of a selected video tile. In response to receiving this request, the selected video tile is resized from its original size to a larger size to provide an effect of a zooming-in of the displayed video tile. Furthermore, the bit rate and/or the frame rate of the played video content is/are increased to improve the resolution of the played video content.

Abstract: Vibrations and/or rotations of a machine are sensed, preferably using one or more accelerometers, whose output is sampled by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and forms an input signal to a processing system. An alarm that warns of existing or impending failure or defects in the machine is generated whenever an alarm condition is met. The alarm condition is preferably that the kurtosis of the sampled input signal exceeds a predetermined threshold. In order to enable use of the invention with a wide range of machines, and make the system wholly or at least substantially self-calibrating, the processor preferably also adjusts the sampling rate of the ADC as a predetermined function of the input data sets. An auto-ranging feature, which may be implemented within the processor or as a separate circuit, is preferably also included to scale the output signal of the sensor to fall within a predetermined range of the ADC.

Abstract: A navigation system provides multimedia annotations based upon the present location of the vehicle. These presentations may comprise advertising or text or other information entered by the user and associated with a specific location or locations. The navigation system also provides a removable media reader which obtains additional information based upon which the navigation system operates. This additional information may include multimedia annotations which are location-based. The navigation system further includes a wireless communication system which interacts with and provides further location-based multimedia annotations.
