An apparatus and a method for image display include a projection screen, a projection device, a control unit, and an imaging element. The projection screen is movable back and forth along an axis perpendicular to the projection face under control from the control unit. The control unit is configured to divide an image to be projected into a set of sub-images depending on distances, of one or more objects in the image, to be perceived by a user along the axis, and to control the projection screen and the projection device such that the projection device projects the set of sub-images onto the projection face when the projection face is moving to different positions respectively. The imaging optical element is configured to form a virtual image of the respective sub-image when the projection face is moving to the corresponding position.

Apparatus and method for image display

A lens/sensor subassembly () may include a feedback sensor (), a data transmission line (), and an electrical element (). The feedback sensor () may be configured to measure a phenomenon in an eye () of a patient during a laser-based ophthalmological therapy. The data transmission line () may be configured to communicate feedback data measured by the feedback sensor () to a laser-based ophthalmological treatment system (). The electrical element () may be degradable in response to exposure to therapeutic radiation (). The degradation of the electrical element () may interrupt communication of the feedback data measured by the feedback sensor () to the laser-based ophthalmological treatment system ().

When the intensity of visible light is properly modulated, the difference between the modulated visible light and the original visible light is not noticeable to human eyes but detectable to electronic devices. Thus, the modulated visible light may be utilized to form patterns that are only recognizable to electronic devices but not to human eyes.

Machine recognizable pattern generation

Technologies are generally described for methods and systems effective to generate modified content data. In some examples, the methods may include obtaining, by a processor, identification data associated with an identification. The processor may generate offset data using the identification data, where the offset data may include an indication of the identification. The processor may determine first position data that may be effective to define a first position of a first object and a second position of a second object in a source document that corresponds to source content data. The processor may generate second position data using the offset data and the first position data. The second position data may be effective to define a third position of the first object and a fourth position of the second object. The processor may generate the modified content data by application of the second position data to the source content data.

Digital rights management based on formatting feature

Methods and systems for supplying media over communication networks are described. In one embodiment, a media supplier determines whether a media object hosted on a web server will be supplied to a client by streaming or not by streaming. Preferably, if the determination is to stream, the media supplier streams the media object to the client. In some cases, the same media supplier may be capable of supplying clients with media objects hosted on any of at least two web servers.

Method and system for supplying media over communication networks

In one example, a method includes generating a first digital code that represents a content of a document created by a first user; and notarizing the creation of the document by triggering a plurality of remittances from a first account associated with the first user to a second account, with each of the plurality of remittances time-stamped and a respective amount of each of the plurality of remittances indicating a corresponding portion of the first digital code.

Notarization based on currency transactions

A peer-to-peer communication system in which a peer communicating with a tracker node on a local torrent can locate and download files that are not currently available from other peers communicating on the local torrent. To enable this, the tracker node maintains collaboration information for a list of files. The collaboration information includes, for each file, a list of locations at which a full copy of the file may be located. The list of locations may include active peers, dormant peers and remote tracker nodes. The collaboration information may be obtained from each peer when it joins a local torrent. Upon joining the torrent, the peer may provide the local tracker node with a list of files that it is willing to serve.

Method and system for scalable content storage and delivery

A method and system for streaming media objects. A streaming system includes a group of end nodes and at least one core node connected via an overlay network. The end nodes cache segments of media objects and stream the media objects to a client segment by segment. Each end node stores segment indices for locating segments cached on end nodes or a core node in the system. The core node is a dedicated proxy which fetches media objects from a remote media server and streams the media objects to a client when the media objects are unavailable from the end nodes.

System and method for streaming media objects

A method and system for initializing a multi-tenant database. The method includes the steps of: executing a trial of a legacy initialization tool on a trial database; capturing database statements issued by the legacy initialization tool during the step of executing a trial; capturing trial execution results of the database statements; executing the legacy initialization tool on a multi-tenant database; intercepting the database statements issued by the legacy initialization tool during the step of executing the legacy initialization tool on the multi-tenant database; and executing a mock of intercepted database statements corresponding to types of the database statements, types of tables involved in the database statements, and the trial execution results of the database statements, where at least one of the steps is carried out using a computer device.

Methods and systems for supplying media over communication networks are described. In one embodiment, a media supplier determines whether a media object hosted on a web server will be supplied to a client by streaming or not by streaming. Preferably, if the determination is to stream, the media supplier streams the media object to the client. Otherwise, the media supplier preferably allows the host web server to supply the media object to the client. In some cases, the same media supplier may be capable of supplying clients with media objects hosted on any of at least two web servers.

Embodiments relate to database technology, and more specifically, to extending database tables in a multi-tenant environment. A method for extending a database table, includes receiving a request of a tenant for extending a database table; and generating a description file corresponding to the tenant according to the received request, the description file describing an extended field defined for the database table as at least one extended column.
