The present disclosure relates to a diaphragm that may be used with a mechanical-to-acoustical transducer. The diaphragm may include a layer of optically clear film, a damping layer and another layer of optically clear film. The damping layer may be an adhesive. The diaphragm may also comprise two optically clear films, optionally including a damping layer, wherein the films indicate a desired coefficient of linear thermal expansion in one or both of the machine and transverse directions.

One or more transformation functions can be used in connection or together with one or more compression/decompression techniques. A transformation function can transform data (e.g., a data object) into a form more suitable for compression and/or decompression. As a result, data can be compressed and/or decompressed more effectively. In addition, multiple data objects can be associated with various transformation functions and/or compression/decompression techniques. As a result, different approaches can be taken with respect to compression and decompression of data objects in an effort to find an optimum approach for compression of data objects that may vary significantly from each other and change over time. It will be appreciated that the objects can be associated with transformation functions in a dynamic manner to accommodate changes to data. Also, an extendible and/or extensible system can allow for growth and adaption of new data in forms not currently present or expected.

One embodiment provides a method of handling for-sale items while shopping at a brick-and-mortar store, including inventorying, tracking, and scanning the for-sale items at checkout. Customers select and bag items while they shop. Each item includes an RFID tag uniquely identifying the item or category of item. The customer brings the shopping cart to an unloading zone of a checkout station. Another, empty shopping cart is positioned in an unloading zone. The customer may receive electronic guidance in positioning the shopping carts. As the customer moves the bags from the shopping cart in the unloading zone to the shopping cart in the loading zone, the bags are scanned by the RFID scanner without removing the items from the bags. Redundant RFID scanners may be provided to increase reliability, and a UPC scanner may be provided as a backup. The shopping carts at the loading zone and unloading zone may be weighed and the weights compared, to guard against possible theft of goods.

Program code enabling the streaming of HD content in real-time to a game console is stored on a storage medium remote from the game console. The game console executes software that facilitates transfer of the program code from the remote storage medium to the game console. The program code ensures that sufficient bandwidth exists on a network between the game console and a HD tuner, and enables the streaming of HD content in real-time to the game console.

Systems, methods, and/or techniques (“tools”) for incrementally updating and formatting high-definition digital versatile disk (HD-DVD) markup are described herein. The tools may receive first markup representing a first scene description to be read from a HD-DVD, and may map the first markup into a first area composite for presentation to a user. The tools may then receive second markup representing a second scene description to be read from the HD-DVD. In response to receiving the second markup, the tools may incrementally remap a portion of the first scene description into a second area composite for presentation to the user.

A congestion controller for a media server monitors both the buffer status of the client device as well as the network performance. The congestion controller may increase or decrease the pacing of packets transmitted over the network based on the fullness of a buffer on the client device, but may also change the bit rate of the packets based on the network performance. By monitoring both the client device status and network performance, the pacing and bit rate of the packets may be varied together to achieve an optimized throughput and maximized user experience of the media.

A media experience policy engine includes three components: an information manager, a policy evaluator, and an enforcement module. The information manager collects information regarding the current state of a media delivery system, such as, for example, usage of a CPU, memory, hard disk, (I/O) interface, and a network. This collected data is then verified by the policy evaluator to see if resource contention is, or is close to, occurring. If so, existing or potential conflicts are dealt with by the enforcement module, which applies corrections, such as, for example, limiting the access of later chronologic users, or degrading the user experience of all users, in accordance with a desired policy in order to vitiate the resource contention and maintain a user experience consistent with the desired policy.

The present invention concerns a system and method for facilitating discovery and promotion of musical works via an electronic network. Broadly, the method comprises the steps of receiving the musical works from artists; establishing a virtual room; allowing a user to enter the virtual room and select one or more of the musical works to play; and allowing the user to chat with a second user within the virtual room. To this broad idea can be added, as desired, any one or more of a large number of enhancement features that further facilitate the discovery and promotion of the works.
