Abstract: A media item is presented via a media player, the media player configured to receive the media item, the media item being associated with a format and including an audio component. Responsive to a change in a display mode associated with the media player, a second media player is identified that is configured to receive a corresponding media item, the corresponding media item being associated with a second format and including a second audio component that matches the audio component. A particular location is determined in the media item to cease presentation of the media item via the media player and a corresponding location in the corresponding media item to begin presentation of the corresponding media item using the second media player. Responsive to reaching the particular location, concurrently, presentation of the media item is ceased and presentation of the corresponding media item at the corresponding location is begun.

Abstract: A user interface of an entity-centric knowledge discovery system presents an entity profile including a mix of structured and unstructured data relating to an entity. As a user refines the entity profile based on information gathered from various sources, the changing entity profile can be used as a substantially continuously updating query to search, retrieve, and rank new and pertinent information specifically relevant to the profiled entity. The platform described herein provide an active loop for refining an entity description and searching for additional information in which human input and machine-based algorithms can cooperate to more quickly build a comprehensive description of an entity of interest.

The liquid from the source of liquid flows through a check valve assembly which includes an input, a first output, and a second output. The second output includes a check valve configured to open when the pressure of the liquid exceeds a threshold pressure value. A connector is attached to the first output of the check valve assembly. The connector is a quick connect fitting equipped with a self-sealing valve.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for random access to a wireless network are described herein. Components of a wireless station may obtain a back-off value. The components may also decode random access resource units from a frame transmitted to the wireless station from an access point of the wireless network. The components may decrement the back-off for each decoded random access frame. The wireless station may select this frame from a sequence of frames when the back-off reaches zero while decoding the random access resource units of this frame. The wireless station then selects the random access resource unit with a more favorable transmission metric than another random access resource unit of the frame and uses the selected random access resource unit to communicate with the access point.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for analyzing and indicating network resources as potentially malicious are disclosed. Some aspects of the disclosure provide ways for threat-analyzing individuals and/or organizations to transmit information about potentially malicious resources in a safe manner. Users or computing devices may transmit non-resolvable “de-fanged” resource identifiers, which lessens the likelihood that the receiving computing device will download malicious data or applications from the resource. Some aspects disclosed herein provide ways to correctly and accurately “re-fang” the resource identifier for threat analysis of the resource, for example by selecting one or more re-fangers to apply and applying the re-fangers to the identifier. Data may be retrieved from the resource (for example via a headless or non-interactive browser), and the resource and/or resource identifier may be categorized as malicious.
