Abstract: Techniques for processing composite commands in a file system are disclosed. A file system receives a composite command that includes an argument. The file system parses the argument and encounters a particular flag indicating that the argument includes an additional command. The file system executes the additional command using an application programming interface (API).

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for communicating surfing experience by capturing digital surf content including pictures or videos; uploading the digital surf content including pictures or videos to a remote host computer; creating at least one collage from the digital surf content including pictures or videos, wherein items in the collage are variably sized based on one or more predetermined factors; and sharing the collage with at least another user. Digital surf content is “bundled” into discrete digital packages that can be shared on the site directly or on the system's social media outlets, or can be downloaded to a user's desktop for a user to distribute on his/her. Bundling via system and methods disclosed enables viral distribution and monetization of uploaded digital surf content.

Abstract: Systems and processes for communicating a surfing experience includes capturing preview pictures or videos using a camera mounted on a surfer's head or a surfboard; displaying the preview pictures or videos on a remote watch; adjusting the camera's angle or position based on the preview pictures or videos; and storing pictures or videos into a camera memory during a surf session.

Abstract: An image capture system includes a camera including a processor, an imager coupled to a lens mounted on a substantially curved camera body, said curved camera body anatomically shaped for mounting to a forehead region; and a headband to secure the camera to the forehead to capture a picture or video.

Abstract: A system for capturing a surfing experience includes a camera mounted on a surfboard with a camera mount providing at least three degrees of freedom to position the camera to capture a preview picture or video; and a web server coupled to the camera to render pictures or videos during a surf session. The camera may be a low profile camera designed to be flush with surface of board with same shape as surface of board. The camera may capture 3D images and may capture normal or panoramic images.

Abstract: A brewing device comprising a brewing system; a handle assembly coupled to the brewing system and containing a source of compressed fluid; and a valve system, coupled to the handle, to selectively place the source of compressed fluid in fluid communication with the brewing system.

Abstract: A MEMS device (100) is provided that includes a handle layer (108) having a sidewall (138), a cap (132) overlying said handle layer (108), said cap (132) having a sidewall (138), and a conductive material (136) disposed on at least a portion of said sidewall of said cap (138) and said sidewall of said handle layer (138) to thereby electrically couple said handle layer (108) to said cap (132). A wafer-level method for manufacturing the MEMS device from a substrate (300) comprising a handle layer (108) and a cap (132) overlying the handle layer (108) is also provided. The method includes making a first cut through the cap (132) and at least a portion of the substrate (300) to form a first sidewall (138), and depositing a conductive material (136) onto the first sidewall (138) to electrically couple the cap (132) to the substrate (300).

Abstract: Methods have been provided for forming a micro-electromechanical systems (“MEMS”) device (100) from a substrate (500) comprising a handle layer (108) and a cap (132) overlying the handle layer (108). In one exemplary embodiment, the method includes cutting through the substrate (500) to separate the substrate (500) into a first die (148) and a second die (150), the first die (148) having a first sidewall (138), and depositing a conductive material (182) onto the first sidewall (138) to electrically couple the cap (132) to the handle layer (108).

Abstract: Methods are provided for manufacturing a sensor. The method comprises depositing a sacrificial material at a first predetermined thickness onto a wafer having at least one sense element mounted thereon, the sacrificial material deposited at least partially onto the at least one sense element, forming an encapsulating layer at a second predetermined thickness less than the first predetermined thickness over the wafer and around the deposited sacrificial material, and removing the sacrificial material. Apparatus for a sensor manufactured by the aforementioned method are also provided.

Abstract: A system and a method of manipulating system parameters directly from displayed graphics utilize universal controls whose functions can vary depending on the current position of a cursor on a display device of the system. The system may be an imaging system based on ultrasound, magnetic resonance, computed tomography technology, or other modalities. The universal controls allow the number of controls included in the control panel of the system to be significantly reduced, since each universal control can perform functions of multiple hard controls. The universal controls may be pushbutton rotatable dials or rotatable toggles. In operation, when the cursor is positioned over one of the cursor-sensitive target areas, a control assignor of the system designates functions that correspond to that cursor-sensitive target area to the universal controls. The system also includes a display controller that controls the operations of displayed cursor-sensitive graphic elements.
