  • Patent number: 11947780
    Abstract: A method at an electronic device with a display includes: displaying a user interface having a first region and a second region; receiving, and displaying in the first region of the user interface, a live video stream of a physical environment captured by a remote video camera; displaying, in the second region, a timeline corresponding to a timespan for a first portion of a duration during which the live video stream may have been recorded; in response to receiving a user interaction to move the timespan to a second portion of the duration, transitioning the displayed timeline to a new timeline that corresponds to the timespan for the second portion, and while transitioning, displaying, in the first region, a subset of video frames representing the first and/or second portion of the duration.

  • Patent number: 10442447
    Abstract: A head monorail car having a front end and a rear end comprises a body, a front load wheel proximate the front end, a rear load wheel proximate the rear end and a seat installed in a passenger area. The front load wheel and the rear load wheel are laterally centered in the body and at least partially protrude through the floor in the passenger area. The first seat is longitudinally installed at least partially between the front end of the monorail car and a spinning axis of the front wheel.

  • Publication number: 20180109851
    Abstract: A server and method for terminating, at a target client device, playback of content provided from a server to the target client device. A target client device at which playback is to be terminated is identified. On receiving at the service provider network from a requesting client device, a request comprising an identifier related to the requesting client device; the identifier related to the requesting client device is read and a store is checked for an identifier related to the target client device that matches the identifier related to the requesting client device. Where the store comprises at least one identifier related to the target client device that matches the identifier related to the requesting client device; a message including an indication that playback of content should terminate on the requesting client device is sent to the requesting client device in a response to the request.

  • Publication number: 20050081559
    Abstract: A suction accumulator for refrigeration or air-conditioning system use, especially for automotive air conditioning system use, which comprises a “pickup tube” to withdraw liquid from a reservoir of the accumulator to return oil to the compressor. The accumulator has a deflector with an outlet tube, to help ensure that fluid does not flow directly from the inlet opening to the outlet opening of the accumulator. The relatively narrow second portion of the outlet tube is closer to the outlet opening than the first portion. The pickup tube is secured in communication with the relatively narrow second portion and optimises the oil return function, minimises restriction to refrigerant flow, maximises effective and actual reservoir volume, and minimises the amount of liquid delivered to the compressor at switch-off.

  • Patent number: 6463925
    Abstract: A catalytic heater supplies heated water that circulates to heat a diver's suit. An insulating housing closed at opposite ends by cap members defines a chamber containing a catalyst inside of a multi-tube heat exchanger. Fittings in the cap members pass water through the multi-tube heat exchanger to and from the suit, and a gas circuit flows mixed hydrogen and oxygen to the catalyst that reacts with the mixed hydrogen and oxygen to produce heat that heats the water in the multi-tube heat exchanger for the diving suit. Optionally, hydrogen may be mixed with oxygen from a breathing gas mixture so that after heating the water, the gases remaining may be breathed by the diver. The catalytic heater provides a safe, reliable source of warm water for active thermal protection of divers over a wide range of diving applications.

  • Publication number: 20020103029
    Abstract: A method of administration of a live electronic card game in which two or more players wager in a networked environment. The invention relates to the players being assigned virtual cards from a game server, which cards are displayed and used to construct a hand by the players. More specifically the method of the invention comprises the step of assigning to each player, a virtual deck from which their cards are dealt.

  • Patent number: 6408847
    Abstract: A semi-closed circuit rebreather system that adapts to a user's activity level is provided. A vacuum pressure develops in a chamber coupled to a mouthbit as a breathing gas is drawn by the user from the chamber. A positive pressure develops in the chamber as an exhalation gas is expelled by the user into the chamber. An open circuit is coupled to the chamber to supply an increasing mass of fresh make-up gas to the chamber as vacuum pressure in the chamber develops and increases. A closed circuit coupled to the chamber receives and processes the exhalation gas to produce a recycled gas suitable for breathing. No recycled gas is supplied to the chamber until a threshold vacuum pressure is reached therein. The threshold vacuum pressure is indicative of a higher level of respiratory minute volume (RMV). At that point, a volume of recycled gas is supplied to the chamber proportionally with respect to increases in the mass of fresh make-up gas as vacuum pressure increases beyond the threshold vacuum pressure.
