Abstract: A system includes a surface device, preferably positioned on a surface, a downhole device, and a wireline communications system. A downlink communication between the surface device and the downhole device occurs via Hopped Frequency Shift Keying (HFSK) voltage-modulated signals. An optional uplink communication between the downhole device and the surface device may occur via Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) current-modulated signals. The downhole device may comprise an addressable switch.

Abstract: An example playback device is configured to (i) transmit an indication that the playback device is available for connection, (ii) receive, from a first controller device, a first request to connect to the playback device, (iii) based on the first request, connect to the first controller device, (iv) while connected to first controller device: (a) continue to transmit the indication that the playback device is available for connection, (b) receive, from a second controller device, a second request to connect to the playback device, and (c) based on the second request, connect to the second controller device, and (v) while connected to the first and second controller device: (a) continue to transmit the indication that the playback device is available for connection, (b) receive, from the first controller device, an indication of media content for playback, (c) retrieve the indicated media content, and (d) play back the indicated media content.

Abstract: An example control device is configured to (i) operate in a classic mode of a media playback system (MPS) application in which the control device provides options for controlling the MPS, (ii) while in the classic mode, receive a request to operate in a compact mode of the MPS application, (iii) determine a context in which the control device received the request, (iv) based on the request, transition from operating in the classic mode to the compact mode, in which the control device (a) provides a subset of the options, and (b) based on the context, presents a visualization of the compact mode with a selectable option to play back media content, (v) while presenting the visualization of the compact mode, receive input indicating a selection of the selectable option, and (vi) based on the input, cause a device to play back media content based on the selection.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a water-soluble pre-reacted binder composition, a method of its manufacture, a use of said pre-reacted binder composition, a method of manufacturing a collection of matter bound by a polymeric binder, a binder solution or dispersion comprising said pre-reacted binder composition, as well as products comprising the pre-reacted binder composition in a cured state.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling media playback via physical tokens (e.g., items of media content such as photographs) are disclosed. A media playback system can include an audio playback device and a control device. The control device includes a sensor configured to sense a tag of the physical token. The control device can obtain data by sensing the tag of the physical token via the sensor. Based on the obtained data, the control device transmits a request for media content to one or more remote computing devices associated with a media content service, and causes playback of the requested media content via the audio playback device. Additionally or alternatively, spatial audio content can be generated and played back based on a media item characteristic obtained via the sensor data.
