A networked computing system for coordinating the distribution of burdensome media content using historical usage patterns. The networked computing system includes multiple network resources (e.g., wireless and wireline network access points) that provide communications service, user equipment, and data communications network facilitating data communications. Within the networked computing system, a current reference to a communications location of a user equipment can be evaluated to determine if a schedule for a media content transfer session should be modified based on a comparison of the current reference with historical references to one or more prior communications locations of the same user equipment. When it is determined that the schedule for the media content transfer session should be modified, a preferred network resource or a preferred device state, facilitating a less burdensome media content delivery, is determined for subsequent communications.

A capacitive discharge stun-gun uses a flyback output circuit in which a semiconductor switch operates under control of a controller or suitable logic circuitry. The flyback circuit can deliver 50-65 kV pulses to a pair of electrodes in order to ionize air adjacent a target in order to initiate good electrical contact. When the electrodes are in good contact with the target, the flyback circuit delivers current at a lower voltage. In one mode of operation the stun-gun is controlled to initially deliver wider pulses optimized for causing air breakdown and to then deliver a series of shorter pulses in pulse groups optimized for causing involuntary muscle cramping.

A vessel ablation system includes apparatus and a process in which during a first period t₁ energy is applied at a low power of 3-5 Watts, and determines if the impedance is between 80-125 Ω. Subsequent to this, in a period t₂, power is ramped up linearly from 0 to 40 Watts over a 10 second period. Once the desired optimum power output is reached, the system holds power level for a further period (t₃) of around 20 seconds. The system then enters an after burn stage in which power is reduced to around 10 Watts for a given period t₄. Throughout periods t₂ and t₃, the control unit monitors impedance and if at any stage this exceeds 150 Ω, step t₂ or t₃ is curtailed and the after burn step is immediately implemented. The system provides for partial retraction of the electrode (16) by around 5 millimetres before the sequence is repeated. This algorithm, it has been found, provides reliable vessel occlusion in a reliable manner that safeguards organ integrity.
