Abstract:

Systems and methods are described for providing variable-length media clips based upon a received media stream. An exemplary system for providing media clips to users includes a database comprising a list of rules associated with a plurality of programs, as well as a first server and a second server. The first server receives information about a particular program being viewed by a media player and obtains rules from the database for the identified program that are transmitted to the media player. The second server receives a media clip of the particular program being viewed from the media player, wherein the media clip is created at the media player in accordance with the rules corresponding to the program, and subsequently makes the media clip available to the users.

Abstract:

A system to control flight of an aircraft includes a rotor blade, an actuator operably associated with the rotor blade, a controller operably associated with the actuator, and a flight control system. The flight control system having a subsystem adapted to modify a flight control limit of the aircraft based upon detection of an impending hazardous flight condition and a display showing available flight control limits provided by modification of design control limits based upon the detection of the impending hazardous flight condition. The method includes generating the control limits, modifying the control limits based upon the impending hazardous flight condition, and displaying the displacement of actuator position relative to the displayed control limits thus cueing the pilot as to the cyclic stick or pedal inputs required to increase the control margin from the impending hazardous condition
