Abstract: A system, process, and computer-readable medium for updating an application cache using a stream listening service is described. A stream listening service may monitor one or more data streams for content relating to a user. The stream listening service may forward the content along with time-to-live values to an application cache. A user may use an application to obtain information regarding the user's account, where the application obtains information from a data store and/or cached information from the application cache. The stream listening service, by forwarding current account information, obtained from listening to one or more streams, to the application cache, reduces traffic at the data store by providing current information from the data stream to the application cache.

Abstract: Systems and methods for multi-application audio splicing may include (1) receiving, from a third-party application installed on a user's device, an audio segment of an audio file selected by the user via an audio-segment-selection interface presented by the third-party application in association with the audio file, (2) loading the audio segment into a post-creation interface of a social media application installed on the user's device and prompting the user to add visual content via the post-creation interface, (3) creating a social media post that includes (i) the audio segment and (ii) visual content added by the user via the post-creation interface, and (4) posting the social media post to a social media consumption channel. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology related to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for swapping avatars in a virtual environment using a physical action are implemented. The various aspects may include identifying a first virtual environment of a plurality of virtual environments. Various aspects may include generating a first avatar appearance from a plurality of avatar appearances wherein the first avatar appearance is correlated with the first virtual environment. Various aspects may include detecting a first physical command, wherein the first physical command is associated with a second avatar appearance from the plurality of avatar appearances. Various aspects may include retrieving the second avatar appearance. Various aspects may include replacing the first avatar appearance with the second avatar appearance. Further aspects may include timing features that reduce the possibility of inadvertent switching between avatars.

Abstract: A system is provided for programming workpiece feature inspection operations for a coordinate measuring machine. The system includes a computer-aided design (CAD) file processing portion, a geometric relationship analyzer, an inspection motion path generation portion, and a user interface including an editable plan representation of a current workpiece feature inspection plan, a workpiece inspection program simulation portion configured to display a 3D view including geometric features and inspection operation representations, and a context sensitive menu portion. The context sensitive menu portion displays a context sensitive relational command menu that indicates a valid set of relational commands including relational feature or relational measurement commands operable to define a corresponding constructed feature or corresponding relational measurement operation to be included in the current workpiece feature inspection plan.

Abstract: A mobile device apparatus uses an HyperText Transfer protocol (HTTP) push operation to simulate server-initiated sessions. The illustrative mobile device apparatus comprises a push server logic operable in a push server that sends a message to a mobile device over a network. The push server logic is configured to receive a GET command from a mobile device. The GET command includes a mobile device identifier parameter and a timeout parameter designating a maximum time interval for the push server to reply with a message. The push server logic holds a GET command session until expiration of a timeout designated by the timeout parameter in a condition that no message is targeted to the mobile device. The push server logic terminates the GET command session by sending a message immediately in a condition that the message is targeted to the mobile device.

Abstract: An encoder encodes the captured real-time data into a program stream. A disk authoring transforms the program stream into a disk file format. A disk writer records the disk file format on an optical disk, wherein the disk writer further includes at least two recording speeds. A buffer temporarily stores the program stream or the disk file format during the disk writer stopping the recording action. A sending-path controller notified by the disk writer to switch the data flow between the disk authoring or the disk writer and the buffer, wherein the sending-path controller also can notify the disk writer to switch the recording speeds.
