Abstract: A Controlled Environment Secure Media Streaming System with Digital Video Recording (DVR) manages the delivery of content to Secured Devices. Cloud Services provide content to Integration Hub. The Integration Hub interfaces with various cloud services providers and prepares content for consumption by a resident of a secured facility. Integration Hub utilizes Content Filter to inspect content received from cloud service providers for suitability for use in a secured environment. Once content is retrieved, filtered, formatted, and packaged by Integration Hub, the content is stored in Data Warehouse. When requested content is not available, the system schedule a future retrieval or DVR of the content when it becomes available. When the system detects that the content is stopped, the system creates a bookmark, so the user can resume the content at the bookmarked portion at a later time.

Abstract: Described are methods and systems in which the censorship and supervision tasks normally performed by secured facility personnel are augmented or automated entirely by a Secure Nonscheduled Video Visitation System. In embodiments, the Secure Nonscheduled Video Visitation System performs voice biometrics, speech recognition, non-verbal audio classification, fingerprint and other biometric authentication, image object classification, facial recognition, body joint location determination analysis, and/or optical character recognition on the video visitation data. The Secure Nonscheduled Video Visitation utilizes these various analysis techniques in concert to determine if all rules and regulations enforced by the jurisdiction operation the secured facility are being followed by the parties to the video visitation session.

Abstract: Captured carbon dioxide is converted into ultra-high purity hydrocarbons, particularly methane. A gas stream containing carbon dioxide is fed to a reactor containing both sorbent and catalyst, until the sorbent portions are substantially saturated with carbon dioxide; non-sorbed species are removed from the first reactor via vacuum and/or purge cycles with high-purity gas; hydrogen gas is introduced to the first reactor to a pressure above ambient; reactor temperature is raised to facilitate desorption of carbon dioxide; and the carbon dioxide is catalytically transformed with the hydrogen gas into methane by recirculating the gas through the reactor. Carbon dioxide adsorption and desorption occur within the sorbent portions, while methanation takes place on the catalytic portions assisted by the sorbent at a temperature substantially consistent with the desorption. Downstream upgrading steps may remove or reduce impurities to produce ultra-high purity methane for chemical vapor deposition or other processes.

The vibration sensitive component can be bonded to the rigid portion of the first substrate and couped to the flexible interconnect via the first substrate, thereby coupling it to the second substrate and the larger substrate.
