  • Patent number: 10165331
    Abstract: According to one exemplary embodiment, a method operable to store video data and/or audio data is adapted to a first peer of a video and audio data system having a plurality of peers, and each peer has a corresponding storage space. In the method, before the first peer has not received a service request of a second peer of the plurality of peers, determines whether the video and audio data received by the first peer is stored in its corresponding storage space with a dynamically adjustable first video and audio storing probability, and extends a time interval of the first peer for storing received video and audio data; and when the first peer receives the service request of the second peer, sets a second video and audio storing probability. Thereby the second peer obtains at least one stored video and audio data from the first peer.

  • Publication number: 20170298795
    Abstract: An automatic purifying device for engine exhaust gases is disclosed. Exhaust gases flow through a necked portion to be speeded and the temperature of the exhaust gases is kept uniform after entering an exhaust inlet, and the speeded exhaust gases then pass through a flared mouth so as to be diffused through metal catalyst carriers and a straight-through ceramic filter or wall-flow filter, allowing the poisonous emissions such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) to collide with the metal catalyst carriers to generate high heat to ignite carbon particles, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and the like which are then decomposed and reduced to nitrogen gas and water by added urea or ammonia in the middle of passing through the straight-through ceramic filter or wall-flow filter, where the generated water can then be discharged through a drain port, thereby decreasing pollution to the environment.

  • Patent number: 9715863
    Abstract: Techniques for scale factor based on viewing distance are described. In at least some embodiments, a viewing distance refers to a distance at which a user typically views and/or is viewing a display device. For instance, different displays can be used in different ways and for different purposes, and thus may have different viewing distances. Techniques discussed herein consider the estimated viewing distance of a particular display in determining a scale factor to be applied to visual elements (e.g., graphics) for output via the particular display. A scale factor, for instance, can specify that visual elements are to zoomed-out or zoomed-in prior to be displayed. As detailed herein, this enables a consistent viewing experience to be maintained across different devices with different display sizes and different viewing distances.
