  • Publication number: 20240137585
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method sends a set of first requests for a set of first segments of a video in a playback session. A first protocol from a plurality of protocols is specified in at least one of the set of first requests. The set of first segments is received. The method determines whether to switch from using the first protocol to a second protocol in the playback session based on receiving the set of first segments. When switching to the second protocol, the method sends a second request in the playback session, wherein the second request indicates the second protocol is to be used to send a second segment of the video.

  • Publication number: 20230006548
    Abstract: Various examples are provided related to switching methods for regulating resonant switched-capacitor converters (RSCCs). In one example, a method includes operating switches of the RSCC in a repeated asymmetric sequence of switching states per switching cycle. The repeated asymmetric sequence can include at least three switching states selected from five defined switching states including an idle state. For example, repeated asymmetric sequence can consist of four switching states selected from the five defined switching states. In another example, a method includes operating switches of the RSCC in a repeated sequence of switching states per switching cycle. The repeated sequence can include six switching states selected from five defined switching states with at least one of the five defined switching states occurs twice in the six switching states. For example, the repeated sequence can consist of each of the five defined switching states with the idle state occurring twice.

  • Publication number: 20220030676
    Abstract: A door for a microwave oven is provided. The door (34) include a door frame (44) having a first side and a second side, an outer glass (40) coupled with the first side of the door frame (44), and a glass assembly (52) coupled with the second side of the door frame (44). The glass assembly (52) includes a first substantially transparent glass substrate (70), a second substantially transparent glass substrate (72), and an electrically conductive mesh layer (74) between the first and second substantially transparent glass substrates (70,72). The mesh layer (74) includes a plurality of wires having a diameter less than 0.04 mm, The shielding performance of the door (34) is improved.
