Abstract:

A cache server includes a media serving engine that is capable of distributing media content. A cache engine is coupled to the media serving engine and capable of caching media content. A set of cache policies is accessible by the cache engine to define the operation of the cache engine. The cache server can be configured to operate as either a cache server or an origin server. The cache server also includes a data communication interface coupled to the cache engine and the media serving engine to allow the cache engine to receive media content across a network and to allow the media serving engine to distribute media content across the network. The cache policies include policies for distributing media content from the media server, policies for handling cache misses, and policies for prefetching media content.

Abstract:

Pairing service technologies is described. In embodiment(s), peripheral devices can be discovered, such as by a computer device, and a peripheral device can be configured with multiple services that each correspond to one or more data communication protocols. The multiple services of the peripheral device can be determined, and a pairing sequence can be prioritized for the multiple services. The data communication protocol(s) can then be paired according to the pairing sequence to configure the multiple services of the peripheral device.

International Classification:

G06F 12/14

US Classification:

711118000

Abstract:

Improved caching control for streaming media includes one or more cache control directives associated with streaming media content that can be used by a source of the streaming media content to identify how caching proxy servers are to handle the streaming media content. Upon receipt of the streaming media content, the caching proxy servers handle the content as indicated by the cache control directive(s).

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709227

Abstract:

A framework for users to connect to wireless devices, regardless of the underlying wireless technology. The framework has a modular structure, including discovery handlers, pairing handlers, and pairing ceremony modules. Discovery and pairing handlers are specific to each wireless technology, enabling discovery of wireless devices, and connection to the device. Pairing ceremony modules are technology independent, and may be invoked by any pairing handler, regardless of the wireless technology employed by a device. The framework provides an aggregation of wireless technologies into a common user interface, improving the user's experience and expanding possibilities for use of wireless technologies.

International Classification:

G06F 9/445

US Classification:

717172

Abstract:

A firmware update system is described that collectively handles firmware updates for hardware resources of a computing device. The firmware update system may be configured to handle firmware updates in a consistent manner across different computing platforms/architectures. A data structure is defined to associate each updateable resource with a corresponding identifier to enumerate the updateable resources to the firmware update system. The firmware update system may reference the data structure to produce representations of the each individual resource that provide an operating system level abstraction through which detection, analysis, acquisition, deployment, installation, and tracking of firmware updates is managed. Using the representations, the firmware update system operates to discover available firmware updates collectively for the enumerated resources, match the updates to appropriate resources, and initiate installation of the updates.

Abstract:

A two-part bioactive agent delivery system, the system including a disposable part comprising an agent reservoir, a bolus chamber, the volume of the bolus chamber being less than the volume of the agent reservoir, an agent outlet, and a valve having a first position communicating the agent reservoir with the bolus chamber and a second position communicating the bolus chamber with the outlet; and a reusable part including a valve driver, a power source and control electronics, the control electronics being adapted to control the valve driver to actuate the valve to deliver bioactive agent from the agent reservoir to the agent outlet; the system further having a spring extending between the agent reservoir piston and a surface of the reusable part or of the disposable part to pressurize the agent reservoir when the spring is compressed and the agent reservoir contains a quantity of bioactive agent.
