Abstract: Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to processing content using a personal cloud. One of a plurality of content items respectively associated with a plurality of devices of a personal cloud is determined. A processing to be performed on the one content item is determined. The processed version of the one content item is determined.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a predictive cache apparatus particularly but not exclusively for controlling the cache update of a database, the predictive cache apparatus including a CEP processor configured to detect events generated the database or operational units, and to generate a cache operation order based on detected events, and a cache distributor configured to control the data to be cached in cache units based on the cache operation order generated by the CEP processor. The disclosure also discloses a method of cache prediction that can be implemented by such a predictive cache apparatus.

Abstract: A method for cross-platform web-based native device feature access may include receiving a call from a web application to access a native device feature, with the call being redirected to a platform agnostic custom URL. The method may further include translating the custom URL into a native object call, and accessing the native device feature based on the native object call.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method of recording a video data stream formed of key frames interposed by a plurality of delta frames, comprising decoding received video frames, determining whether a received key frame is available to form an initial key frame of stored video data and, if not, generating the initial key frame from one or more decoded video frames, and storing the initial key frame and subsequent received video frames.

Abstract: Including an aminophosphonate and a hydroxyphosphonate in an aqueous bath in which a textile material is dyed with a water-insoluble (e.g. disperse) dye results in improved dyeing (uniformity, water-fastness, etc.) and, in dyeing of polyester fiber, eliminates the need for use of a swelling agent.

Abstract: In aqueous peroxide-containing solutions used in bleaching of cellulose fiber, peroxide stability is very greatly increased by inclusion of alkali metal polyphosphate and alkali metal diethylene triamine penta(methylene phosphonate). Especially useful for addition of such stabilizers to the peroxide-containing solutions to increase such stability are essentially anhydrous compositions containing metal sequestering compounds comprising such polyphosphate and phosphonate in a weight ratio from about 10:1 to about 1:5.
