Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for media management provide a derived quantitative data of quality for video media files. The method embodiment comprises receiving a request for a video media file, identifying one or more video media files associated with the request, measuring at least one audio or visual quality associated with each video media file by analyzing at least one of: compression artifacts or grading for the each video media file, generating quantitative data based on the measured at least one audio or visual quality for the each video media file, and returning the quantitative data associated with the each video media file. Other features include the ability to compare, archive, filter, sort and select video media files based on the quantitative data.

Abstract: An apparatus for treatment of a body part such as the hair of a user which includes a treatment material such as coconut oil contained as a single portion within a closed and sealed flexible pouch formed of a flexible laminated plastic material which is foil free so that it can be heated in a microwave oven to warm the treatment material to a required temperature. The pouch includes printed instruction material comprising instructions to warm the material in a microwave oven, to knead the product when heated within the closed pouch and to re-heat in stages to the required temperature and to form an opening in the pouch and apply the warmed treatment material.

Abstract: There is provided a transient dynamic semantic clustering engine that transforms disassociated dynamic data into a recursively curated and attributed, use-case specific association that is enhanced for consumption with structures for opining on the strength or other characteristics of usefulness of association attribution, and provenance of the association through a set of recursively evolving operations.

Abstract: There is provided a method that includes parsing a string of characters into its graphemes, and generating a pattern of characters that represents an abstraction of the graphemes. There is also provided a system that performs the method, and a storage device that contains instructions for controlling a processor to perform the method.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods and/or computer program products are provided that facilitate the creation and management of secure passwords. Upon receiving a proposed password from a user for use in a computer system, apparatus or other communication system, the proposed password is evaluated for compliance with security guidelines. If the password complies at least with a minimum level of security, the password is evaluated and a relative level of the password is determined and assigned to the password. A lifespan for the password is selected based on the assigned relative security level of security. The user is notified of the assigned lifespan. Operations for evaluating the password, assigning the lifespan, and notifying the user of the lifespan may be performed in substantially real-time.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer readable media for media management based on derived quantitative data of quality. The method embodiment comprises receiving a request for a media file, identifying one or more media files associated with the request, measuring at least one audio or visual quality associated with each media file by analyzing at least one of: compression artifacts or grading for each media file, generating quantitative data based on the measured at least one audio or visual quality for each media file, and returning the quantitative data associated with each media file.

Abstract: A system for providing enhanced matching for database queries. The system includes a data source; a data repository comprising a single-sourced reference file; a database comprising a multi-sourced reference file, the multi-sourced reference file having a first unique business identification number corresponding to a business entity; and an intelligence engine processing incoming data from the data source. The intelligence engine determines whether the incoming data matches the multi-sourced reference file and adds the data to the multi-sourced reference file when the data matches the multi-sourced reference file. The intelligence engine also determines whether the incoming data matches a single-sourced reference file contained within the data repository when the data does not match the multi-sourced reference file.

Abstract: A method of configuring a network access device connected to an access network connected to a plurality of service networks, the network device having a first network address allocated to a subscriber of services of a first service provider provided by a first service network, with a new network address allocated to a second subscriber of services of either the first service provider, or a second service provider provided by a second service network. The method comprises the steps of: sending a request from the network access device to the access network with user credentials for the second subscriber requesting access to the first service provider or a change to the second service provider; receiving a response from the access network; and initiating a network address change request using a configuration protocol.
