摘要： Methods and transcoding proxies for transcoding media streams are described. In one embodiment, a method for transcoding a media stream that is delivered to an end-user device over a communications network involves selecting a transcoding technique for the media stream, transcoding a portion of the media stream using the selected transcoding technique, streaming the transcoded portion of the media stream to the end-user device, while the transcoded portion of the media stream is being streamed to the end-user device, detecting a change in a condition of the communications network, selecting a different transcoding technique in response to the change in the condition of the communications network, transcoding a subsequent portion of the media stream using the different transcoding technique, and streaming the transcoded subsequent portion of the media stream to the end-user device. Other embodiments are also described.

摘要： This invention relates to the use of one or more cannabinoids in the treatment of epilepsy and more particularly to the use of one or a combination of cannabinoids in the treatment of generalized or partial seizure. In one embodiment it relates to the use of the cannabinoid THCV, as a pure or isolated compound, or as a plant extract in which significant amounts of any THC naturally present has been selectively removed. In another embodiment the phytocannabinoid is CBD.

For an improved graphics pipeline, the invention provides a class of co-processing device, such as a graphics processor unit (GPU), providing improved capabilities for an abstract or virtual machine for performing graphics calculations and rendering. The invention allows for runtime-predicated flow control of programs downloaded to coprocessors, enables coprocessors to include indexable arrays of on-chip storage elements that are readable and writable during execution of programs, provides native support for textures and texture maps and corresponding operations in a vertex shader, provides frequency division of vertex streams input to a vertex shader with optional support for a stream modulo value, provides a register storage element on a pixel shader and associated interfaces for storage associated with representing the “face” of a pixel, provides vertex shaders and pixel shaders with more on-chip register storage and the ability to receive larger programs than any existing vertex or pixel shaders and provides 32 bit float number support in both vertex and pixel shaders.

摘要： A structural support column with telescopically adjustable head, includes a base, and an elongate support member extending substantially vertically from the base. The support member has a remote end opposed to the base with a cavity. A centralizing member covers the cavity at the remote end of the support member. The centralizing member has an aperture which is axially aligned with the longitudinal axis of the support member. A levelling screw is provides having a first end with a head and a second end. The second end of the levelling screw extends through the aperture in the centralizing member and is secured against removal by a levelling nut. The first end of the levelling screw is received in the rectangular cavity at the remote end of the support member. The head at the first end of the levelling screw is received in close fitting engagement in the cavity. A support bracket is positioned at the second end of the levelling screw.

摘要： An optical reflectometer in which the output from a laser 11 is passed through a ramped phase modulator 12 and an optical fibre bi-directional coupler 13 to a transmission path 15, e.g. an optical fibre. Part of the light is coupled out to a mirror 14 and is reflected to form a local oscillator signal which is mixed in the coupler with backscattered light from the fibre. The mixed signals are applied to a detector 16.

摘要： A strain sensor providing an optical read-out that is suitable for use in electrically noisy environment or one subject to mechanical vibration consists of one or a set of single mode optical fibres wound round an expanding strain member. The principle of operation relies upon the fact that transverse straining of a single mode fibre destroys mode degeneracy thereby producing birefringence effects that can be rendered obversable using polarized light and a polarization analyzer.
