  • Patent number: 11570234
    Abstract: An Internet infrastructure delivery platform (e.g., operated by a service provider) provides an overlay network (a server infrastructure) that is used to facilitate “second screen” end user media experiences. In this approach, first media content, which is typically either live on-demand, is being rendered on a first content device (e.g., a television, Blu-Ray disk or another source). That first media content may be delivered by servers in the overlay network. One or multiple end user second content devices are then adapted to be associated with the first content source, preferably, via the overlay network, to facilitate second screen end user experiences (on the second content devices).

  • Patent number: 11272025
    Abstract: Stream delivery within a content delivery network (CDN) includes recording the stream using a recording tier, and playing the stream using a player tier. Recording begins when the stream is received in a source format. The stream is then converted into an intermediate format (IF), which comprises a stream manifest, one or more fragment indexes (FI), and a set of IF fragments. A player process begins when a requesting client is associated with a CDN HTTP proxy. In response to receipt at the proxy of a request for the stream, the HTTP proxy retrieves (either from the archive or the data store) the stream manifest and at least one fragment index. Using the fragment index, the IF fragments are retrieved to the HTTP proxy, converted to a target format, and then served in response to the client request. Preferably, fragments are accessed, cached and served by the proxy via HTTP.

  • Publication number: 20210389245
    Abstract: The present disclosure is drawn to devices and systems for target detection in samples, particularly allergen detection in food samples. The allergen detection system includes a sampler, a disposable analysis cartridge and a detection device with an optimized optical system. The allergen detection utilizes nucleic acid molecules as detection agents and detection probes.

  • Patent number: 11097252
    Abstract: The present invention provides a functionalised polymeric chromatography medium, prepared by a process which comprises (i) providing a substrate formed of one or more polymer nanofibres, (ii) grafting one or more neutral polymer chains from the substrate, and (iii) contacting the grafted product with a reagent which functionalises the product of step (ii) as a chromatography medium, wherein step (ii) comprises reacting a plurality of compounds of formula and/or its enantiomers, and/or its derivatives of formula (I) and/or enantiomers and/or diastereomers thereof: with one or more functional groups present on the nanofibre substrate, wherein R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 may be the same or different, and are chosen from H, halogen, C1-C4 alkyl, or C1-C4 alkoxy provided that at least one of R1, R2, R3, R4 or R5 is not hydrogen.
