A system and method are provided for resynchronizing a media stream. A media streaming server receives live or pre-recorded media for streaming to clients. When media is not received or available for streaming at the appropriate media time index, the media stream is deemed to be out of synchronization. The server selects a future time index at which to resynchronize the stream and may discard intervening media. Media corresponding to the new time index is requested or retrieved and, if available...

A method is provided that comprises receiving an incoming call from a party and receiving calling party information associated with the incoming call. The method further comprises receiving information associated with at least one physical attribute of the party and altering at least a portion of an image associated with the calling party information based on the received information. The method comprises displaying the altered image.

A method and an arrangement for stopping sectional drive controllably in connection with a fault situation in the supplying mains, the sectional drive comprising a plurality of inverters (4) which are supplied by a DC intermediate circuit (3) supplied by the mains (1), a plurality of electric motors (5) which are controlled by inverters with speed and/or torque control and which are used for implementing speed and tightness reference values of the strip in the sectional drive system, the tightne...

A turntable for fastening workpieces during machining in which the work table holding the workpiece can be lifted above the bed and be turned and moved with relation thereto on a gas or liquid cushion.

Dilatant compositions comprising aqueous solutions containing 0.5 to 6.0 weight percent alkali metal borate and 0.5 to 6.0 weight percent water soluble polyvinyl alcohol are effective dust suppressants and collectors.

A method for plugging waterflood zones through the in situ production of gelatinous materials derived from injecting a solution containing a water-soluble bivalent metal salt and a water-soluble polymer of high molecular weight having groups chemically reactive with trivalent metal ions into a waterflood zone followed by the injection of air which converts bivalent metal ions to trivalent metal ions thereby resulting in the aforementioned gelatinous plugging material.

Undesirable aroma components and gases can be removed from coffee beans during roasting by intermittent additions of moisture to the coffee during roasting, in amounts ranging from 3 percent to 40 percent by weight of the beans, thereby driving out the volatiles and unexpectedly improving the flavor. This process of upgrading coffee and changing its flavor characteristics occurs within the same roaster.

Decompressing compressed video information using relatively less temporary storage is disclosed. A compressed bit stream of video information including a compressed portion is received. A reverse combination in the transform domain is performed on the compressed portion to produce two corresponding portions of video information, where the two portions represent the compressed portion in a less compressed form. The two portions of video information are temporarily stored as a reverse combination ...

A method (100) of physical circuit design can include the steps of packing components (110) of a circuit design that are dependent upon an architecture of the circuit design and assigning initial locations (115) to each component of the circuit design. The components of the circuit design can be clustered (120) by combining slices and including slices into configurable logic blocks according to design constraints, while leaving enough white space in the configurable logic blocks for post-placeme...

A method including forming a chemically soluble coating on a plurality exposed contacts on a surface of a circuit substrate; scribing the surface of the substrate along scribe areas; and after scribing, removing a portion of the coating. A method including forming a circuit structure comprises a plurality of exposed contacts on a surface, a location of the exposed contacts defined by a plurality of scribe streets; forming a coating comprising a chemically soluble material on the exposed contacts...
