Abstract: A cloud computing service is used to deploy a virtual computer cluster. The virtual computer cluster is initialized with a set of one or more streaming nodes for processing first messages of one or more streaming jobs. It is determined whether the virtual computer cluster is to process second messages of a non-streaming job. In response to determining that the virtual computer cluster is to process the second messages of the non-streaming job, for example using control messages, the cloud computing service is caused to start a non-streaming node in the virtual computer cluster. The non-streaming node is tasked to process the second messages of the non-streaming job.

Abstract: A method for valuing and exchanging flatted shares of a private company using a computerized trading platform includes receiving company ownership data including a number of securities in one or more investment classes held by a plurality of shareholders in the private company. A transaction price is computed for buying flatted shares in a special purpose vehicle (SPV) using an auction algorithm based on the bidding price for each of the buy orders from a plurality of investors in the SPV for identifying a set of investors from the plurality of investors whose buy orders include bidding prices larger than or equal to the computed transaction price. Upon assessing that a criterion for SPV formation is met, a buy-back of a portion of a number of securities held by at least one selling shareholder is performed and the flatted SPV shares are issued to the set of investors.

Abstract: A method for distributed video transcoding consists of segmentation process 101, transcoding process 102 and combining process 103. The said segmentation process consists of time division based segmentation 201, spatial division based segmentation 301 and hybrid segmentation 401. The source media is segmented into a number of media segments. These segments are distributed to different processing units 501. Each processing units consists of source reception unit 502, segmentation unit 503, transcoding unit 504, combining unit 505 and finally result storage unit 506 to achieve parallel conversion throughout the process and combined to produce a single transcoded result. The present invention relates to converting an audio-video source media from one format to another within a short duration of time.

Abstract: A 3D glasses device incorporating real time tracking and a system for implementing the 3D glasses device for an immersive virtual reality experience includes 3D glasses that comprise: a frame, a pair of lens, and a real-time tracking unit, which enables the position and orientation to be observed by optical tracking systems featuring optical transmitters. In one exemplary implementation the 3D glasses device communicates with a client system during a session of digital media content rendering. The real-time tracking unit of the 3D glasses device has optical sensors activated when struck by light from an optical transmitter, communicates its position and orientation to the client system, which renders media content based in part on the tracking data, and shows the content on head-mounted display systems that are part of the device in order to produce an immersive virtual reality experience.

Abstract: A motor stator includes a stator core and a number of stator windings. The stator core includes a stator yoke and a plurality of stator tooth wrapped by a bobbin formed with an over-molding process, and further correspondingly wound around by stator windings. The stator teeth are connected to an inner surface of the stator yoke. A motor including the above motor stator and a rotor is also provided. The rotor includes a rotor core and a rotary shaft fixed relative to the rotor core. The rotor core is received in the bobbin and in magnetic coupling with the stator teeth.

Abstract: A total number of messages in a set of messages that are processed by a computing node in a virtual computer cluster during a time interval is determined. The virtual computer cluster is deployed with a cloud computing service and includes the computing node and other computing nodes at an end time of the time interval. It is determined whether the total number of messages in the set of messages processed by the computing node is no less than a maximum per-interval message number threshold. In response to determining that the total number of messages is no less than a maximum per-interval message number threshold, the cloud computing service is caused to start an additional computing node in the virtual computer cluster after the time interval, wherein the additional computing node is used to process one or more subsequent messages to be processed after the time interval.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and modules for integrated medication and care management for a patient. The medication management module includes one or more cartridge slots configured to receive one or more pill cartridges comprising one or more pills. The cartridge slots receive a first pill cartridge of the one or more pill cartridges having a first pill comprising a first dosage and a second pill cartridge of one or more pill cartridges having a second pill comprising a second dosage. Processor(s) in communication with memory store machine readable instructions and are configured to execute the machine-readable instructions. Executing the instruction causes the medication management module to receive an adjusted medication for the patient and determine an appropriate dosage based on the adjusted medication. The system, method and module may include dispensing at least the first pill and the second pill based on the appropriate dosage.

Abstract: A smart plug that is partitioned into a plurality of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in a three dimensional manner to reduce its size. Aspects consider the effect of the possible increased internal temperature as the size of the smart plug is reduced. For example, thick metal foils connect various components of a smart plug to reduce heat dissipation within the smart plug. Also, a metal foil may transfer heat from contact metal on a PCB to a side wall of a plastic housing of the smart plug. The smart plug may comprise a computing device that obtains information identifying the attached electrical device and accesses device data about the time duration during which the attached electrical device exhibits transient characteristics. The computing device then uses the accessed data to effectively control the attached electrical device.
