Abstract: Examples described herein relate to management of concurrent audio streams from different sources. Portable playback devices, such as wearable wireless headphones and earbuds, as well as portable battery-powered speakers, may include multiple network interfaces for connection to different types of networks, such as an 802.11-compatible network interface for connection to wireless local area networks (e.g., Wi-Fi® networks) and an 802.15-compatible network interface for connection to a mobile device via a personal area network (Bluetooth®). Via such connections, the playback devices may receive two or more concurrent streams. By managing these streams according to playback policies, the portable playback devices may play the user's intended audio without necessarily requiring user input to explicitly select among the concurrent streams.

Abstract: A method and system for processing accounting event data and applying the accounting event data to account balances associated with an entity. The system receives accounting event data from multiple third-party financial institutions and uses processing rules to identify activities associated with each accounting event represented in the accounting event data. An activity describes, among other information, a balance to be adjusted and an amount that it is to be adjusted by. A balance quantifies information related to an entity's finances. A balance is adjusted by applying an activity to the balance, thereby increasing or reducing the balance by a specified amount. The system may generate a financial report by applying a template to financial data, including the activities and balances.

Abstract: A system and method for misting a liquid agent to be used for fire suppression and inertion or explosion suppression and inertion are provided. The system includes a container of pressurized liquid agent, a way to convey a stream of the agent to a discharge nozzle, and a way to introduce pressurized gas to the stream of agent.

Abstract: A set of blends for extinguishment of fires, suppression of explosions, and inertion against fires and explosions is disclosed. The blends are comprised of a bromine-containing component and a fluorine-containing component. The bromine-containing component is comprised of one or more hydrobromoalkanes, hydrobromoalkenes, and/or hydrobromoarenes. The fluorine-containing component is comprised of one or more fluorine-containing halocarbons, which may also contain chlorine. Specifically provided as fluorine-containing halocarbons are saturated and unsaturated hydrochlorofluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, perfluoroethers, hydrofluoroethers, and/or hydrofluoropolyethers. This provides a blend that mimics the fire and explosion protection action of halons and hydrobromofluorocarbons without the environmental impact associated with these compounds, which contain bromine and fluorine in the same molecule.
