20110308332 | Method And System For Monitoring Bend And Torque Forces On A Drill Pipe - A system and method for monitoring bend radius and torque force exerted on a drill string. A sensor system is supported within a pipe section of the drill string and has a light source supported within the pipe section to emit a light beam within the pipe section. An optical sensing device is supported within the pipe section and spaced apart from the light source. The optical sensing device transmits a detection signal indicative of the position of the light beam on a surface of the optical sensing device to a processor that determines the bend radius and torque force exerted on the pipe section. | 12-22-2011 |

20160023116 | Electronically mediated reaction game - Mobile devices or other client devices generally support applications that provide content to users. Emotional analytics entails making inferences about a user's emotions based on sensor data such as a video stream of the user. When combined with a videoconferencing application or other digital media, emotional analytics may be employed to make games that respond to user emotions. Video streams from a game may also be analyzed in real time to ensure that the game's rules are obeyed. Disclosed are techniques for administering and managing a digital media-based game using emotional analytics and object recognition. | 01-28-2016 |

20130255030 | VACUUM - The present invention is directed to a vacuum including a dust extraction system. The system includes a filter assembly, an airflow generation assembly, and valve assembly. The airflow generation assembly is configured to draw contaminated air toward the filter assembly and exhaust filtered air as a discharge stream. The filter assembly is configured to remove contaminants from the contaminated airflow by capturing particulate material suspended within the airflow. The valve assembly is configured to selectively direct filtered airflow into the filter assembly such that the filtered air stream cleans the filter. | 10-03-2013 |

20090083806 | Media organization for distributed sending of media data - Media data is distributed across multiple devices and is locatable using a hashing function and a hash table. The media data is partially replicated based on popularity thereof. In a described implementation, a media data block is locatable by hashing a media data indicator to produce a media data hash value that maps to a bin of the hash table. The bin is associated with at least one device that stores and/or with a sender that is capable of sending to clients the media data blocks mapping thereto. Each bin may have primary and secondary roles. Devices holding primary roles store all of the media data blocks mapping to a bin. Devices holding secondary roles replicate the media data blocks mapping to the bin that are also within a top predetermined popularity percentage. Popularity is determined based on numbers of clients currently requesting a particular media data portion. | 03-26-2009 |

20090010273 | Media Stream Splicer - An implementation is described herein, which facilitates a fast channel change by receiving and decoding a unicast acquisition media stream that corresponds to a soon-to-be-requested target multicast media stream. It does this before requesting the target multicast media stream of the new channel. Once the transmission of the unicast stream is caught up with the multicast stream, this implementation splices from the unicast acquisition stream to the target multicast media stream. | 01-08-2009 |
20090013080 | Media Stream Scheduling for Hiccup-Free Fast-Channel-Change in the Presence of Network Chokepoints - An implementation, as described herein, facilitates fast start-up of a new media stream while avoiding temporal interruption (i.e., “hiccups”) of the presentation of that new media stream. At least one implementation, described herein, coordinates the delivery of multiple simultaneous media streams on a media-stream network. Its coordination accounts for traversal of bandwidth-restricted chokepoints; quickly stopping delivery of one or more media streams from the set of streams; quickly initiating delivery and presentation of one or more new media streams not previously in the set (i.e., a “channel change”); and producing clean playback of all of the streams in the set, despite their different timelines. This abstract itself is not intended to limit the scope of this patent. The scope of the present invention is pointed out in the appending claims. | 01-08-2009 |
20130283051 | Persistent License for Stored Content - In an implementation, a method includes forming a request by a client for communication to a licensing server. The request is for storing encrypted content by the client. A persistent license is received at the client in response to the request. The persistent license includes a key that is encrypted. The key, when decrypted, provides access to the encrypted content. The key is configured to be decrypted by the licensing server. The client, however, is not configured to decrypt the key from the persistent license. The persistent license and the encrypted content are stored by the client. | 10-24-2013 |
20150163275 | Media Stream Scheduling for Hiccup-Free Fast-Channel-Change in the Presence of Network Chokepoints - An implementation, as described herein, facilitates fast start-up of a new media stream while avoiding temporal interruption (i.e., “hiccups”) of the presentation of that new media stream.

20120269616 | TURBINE DRIVESHAFT FOR RAM AIR TURBINE - A driveshaft for an aircraft ram air turbine includes a tubular body and a flange. The tubular body defines an axis of rotation and includes a forward portion and a frusto-conical portion located rearward of the forward portion. The flange adjoins the forward portion of the tubular body opposite the frusto-conical portion, and has a forward face and an opposite rear face. A ratio of an outer diameter of the forward portion of the tubular body to an inner diameter of the forward portion of the tubular body is in a range of approximately 1.423 to 1.425. | 10-25-2012 |
20120269634 | STRUT DRIVESHAFT FOR RAM AIR TURBINE - A driveshaft for an aircraft ram air turbine includes a substantially cylindrical elongate portion, a first end extending from the elongate portion, and a second end extending from the elongate portion opposite the first end. The first and second ends each include a substantially frusto-conical section having a curved generatrix, such that distal portions of each of the first and second ends have smaller outer diameters than an outer diameter of the elongate portion. The elongate portion provides relatively high lateral stiffness and the first and second ends provide relatively low torsional stiffness, such that the driveshaft has a lateral natural frequency higher than an operating range of the driveshaft and has a torsional natural frequency below the operating range of the driveshaft. | 10-25-2012 |
20130253734 | SPEED CONTROL FOR A FIXED PTICH RAM AIR TURBINE - A system of speed control for a ram air turbine of an aircraft includes a power electronics controller, at least one routing device in communication with the power electronics controller, at least one secondary load in serial communication with the at least one routing device and the power electronics controller, and a ram air turbine (RAT) in communication with the power electronics controller, wherein the power electronics controller is configured to apply the secondary load to the RAT through the at least one routing device in response to a transient speed increase of the RAT. | 09-26-2013 |
20130288082 | WARMING FEATURE FOR AIRCRAFT FUEL CELLS - A system and method for warming a fuel cell on an aircraft, the system includes at least one fuel cell. The fuel cell includes an anode and a cathode for creating thermal and electrical energy. A temperature sensor measures a first temperature of the fuel cell. A control unit is coupled to the temperature sensor. The control unit increases the first temperature to a second temperature in response to the first temperature being at least equal to a selected temperature threshold. Increasing of the first temperature is indicative of the control unit operating in a warming mode. The second temperature is higher than the selected temperature threshold. | 10-31-2013 |
