| 20110173345 | Method and system for HTTP-based stream delivery - A method of delivering a live stream is implemented within a content delivery network (CDN) and includes the high level functions of recording the stream using a recording tier, and playing the stream using a player tier. The step of recording the stream includes a set of sub-steps that begins when the stream is received at a CDN entry point in a source format. The stream is then converted into an intermediate format (IF), which is an internal format for delivering the stream within the CDN and comprises a stream manifest, a set of one or more fragment indexes (FI), and a set of IF fragments. The player process begins when a requesting client is associated with a CDN HTTP proxy. In response to receipt at the HTTP proxy of a request for the stream or a portion thereof, 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. The source format may be the same or different from the target format. Preferably, all fragments are accessed, cached and served by the HTTP proxy via HTTP. In another embodiment, a method of delivering a stream on-demand (VOD) uses a translation tier (in lieu of the recording tier) to manage the creation and/or handling of the IF components. | 07-14-2011 |

| 20100111133 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING TEMPERATURE AND HEAT FLUX IN A MATERIAL USING ULTRASOUND - Methods and apparatus for measuring heat flux in a material are disclosed. A disclosed example method involves emitting an acoustic signal into the material and determining a first propagation time associated with the propagation of the acoustic signal through the material. A first heat flux value indicative of a first heat flux of the material is then determined based on the first propagation time. | 05-06-2010 |

| 20100267324 | Airflow regulator - The invention provides an airflow regulator for a mine passage, comprising: a louver blade pivotable to a predetermined position, which is in a range from a closed position in which the louver blade restricts at least a portion of the passage to an open position in which air is readily able to flow in the passage; and a linkage mechanism for pivoting the louver blade wherein the linkage mechanism includes a biasing strut mechanism which is only activated to pivot the louver blade into the open position when a predetermined airflow is reached and biases the louver blade to its predetermined position after the airflow has reduced to less than the predetermined airflow. | 10-21-2010 |
