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.

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.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved black smoke burning and purifying apparatus for a vehicle exhaust comprising a burning system connected to intake of the exhaust and also to an emission smoke buffered filtering system. The emission smoke is guided into the burning chamber of the burning system and the fuel is atomized by a fuel atomized nozzle without being affected by the emission smoke. A pneumatic pump delivers air into the burning chamber to enhance burning and the emission smoke sequentially passes through buffering and filtering units of said buffered filtering system. Said buffering unit reduces flow rate of the emission smoke to prevent backflow from blowing off the spark. The emission smoke drives a turbine blade to force it pass through the filtering unit to burn off the carbon residuals thereof with the high temperature emission smoke to maintain proper emission of the exhaust of a diesel engine.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved device for combustion and purification treatment of automobile smoky exhaust, which includes, in sequence between an inlet end and an outlet end of an exhaust pipe, a combustion system and an exhaust buffering and filtration system. Exhaust gas, when passing through the combustion system, is forced to divide and individually flow through a plurality of gas channels. A fuel atomization nozzle that cannot be blown off by exhaust flow injects and atomizes fuel. An igniter ignites the fuel. The exhaust gas passing through the gas channels induces a siphon effect to draw heat from the chamber after the combustion to mix with the exhaust gas so as to increase the temperature of the exhaust gas. An exhaust buffering unit reduces the flowing speed of the exhaust gas. The high temperature exhaust gas then cause carbon deposit to combust so as to eliminate the carbon deposit.
