The technology herein involves use of 2D imposters to achieve seemingly 3D effects with high efficiency where plural objects such as animated characters move together such as when one character follows or carries another character. A common 2D imposter or animated sprite is used to image and animate the plural objects in 2D. When the plural objects are separated in space, each object can be represented using its respective 3D model. However, when the plural objects contact one another, occupy at least part of the same space, or are very close to one other (e.g., as would arise in a situation when the plural objects are moving together in tandem), the animation system switches from using plural respective 3D models to using a common 2D model to represent the plural objects. Such use of a common 2D model can be restricted in some implementations to situations where the user's viewpoint can be restricted to be at least approximately perpendicular to the plane of 2D model, or the 2D surface on which the combined image is texture mapped can be oriented in response to the current virtual camera position.

A method, system, and computer readable medium for managing applications on an application execution system are disclosed. On an application server the number of instances of a first application type that are in a busy state is determined. This determination is performed at each respective time interval in a plurality of time intervals. Then, a first running average for the busy state of the first application type is computed based upon the number of instances of the first application type that are in a busy state, at the application server, at each respective time interval. A removal request is sent when the first running average for the busy state meets a first removal criterion. The removal request is a request to remove the application server from a data structure that specifies which of a plurality of application servers accept service requests for the first application type.

A method is provided for synchronizing an audio capture program with a streamed audio file. The method comprises receiving at least one selection request from a user connected to a server device, the transmission of a program from the server device to the user client device, the streaming of digital audio data from the server device to the client device, and the detection of state changes associated with an audio stream player disposed within the client device. The transmitted program prepares an audio capture program on the client device in response to state changes associated with the audio stream player and initiates audio capture at a fixed time interval from when the playback state change is detected.

A data processing system is provided in which destination operands to be stored within architectural registers are constrained to have zero values added as prefixes in order that the architectural register value has a fixed bit width irrespective of the bit width of the destination operand being written thereto. Instead of adding these zero values everywhere in the data path, they are instead represented by zero flags in at least the physical registers utilised for register renaming operations and in the result queue prior to results being written to the architectural register file. This saves circuitry resources and reduces energy consumption.

The invention discloses edible nanocrystal cellulose ink and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method of the edible nanocrystal cellulose ink comprises the steps that nanocrystal cellulose is mixed with water, ultrasonic treatment is performed, the water, a sweetening agent, coloring materials, a thickening agent and connecting materials are added in batches under the constant temperature and stirring conditions, and then the edible nanocrystal cellulose ink is prepared, wherein the nanocrystal cellulose is selected from natural plant fiber. According to the edible nanocrystal cellulose ink and the preparation method thereof, the nanocrystal cellulose is adopted to prepare the edible ink, the fibrous components are added in the ink, functionalization is achieved, the health care function is achieved, and meanwhile the color and luster of the edible ink is enhanced; especially, if the nanocrystal cellulose is selected from agricultural wastes (such as corn stalks, wheat straw and rice straw), recycling of the agricultural wastes is facilitated. The edible nanocrystal cellulose ink has the advantages of being environmentally friendly, free of public hazards, good in color and luster and the like and can be applied to the fields of baby food, drugs, edible packaging materials and the like.

An information monitoring and updating method and system for a transport stream is provided. First, a transport stream is received. The transport stream includes a program specific information (PSI) table, and the PSI table is divided into a plurality of sections. Next, by setting a first filtering parameter of a monitor-section filter, the header of each section of the PSI table is filtered out and is then checked whether to be a latest version or not. When all the section headers of the PSI table are of the latest version, each section of the PSI table is filtered by setting a second filtering parameter of a table-section filter.

In a method of selectively applying a data encryption function, a CoAP client and a CoAP server perform a DTLS handshake process. The CoAP client generates a CoAP message when the DTLS handshake process has been completed, and then indicates that encryption does not need to be applied to the CoAP message. The CoAP client generates only the authentication value of the CoAP message via a DTLS record layer protocol. The CoAP client sets the value of the specific field of a DTLS record layer protocol header to a specific value via the DTLS record layer protocol. The CoAP client sends the CoAP message and the authentication value to the CoAP server.

The present invention relates to a switching method and apparatus for performing a switching operation in a telecommunication network, wherein a side information and a service information generated based on a received call is converted into a switching technology independent identification information for identifying a start point and an end point of a connection to be switched in said switching apparatus. Thus, the physical resources of the switch are abstracted to a logical model which provides a clear interface for call control and signaling applications. Logical resources are controlled by resource managers, such that the physical resources are hidden by the switching technology independent identification information of the start point and end point of the connection. Thereby, problems with different switching technologies can be solved, and the complexity and maintenance of call control applications can be reduced, since they handle logical resources independent of the switching techniques.

The present invention relates to a method and a system of implementing a signal processing facility in a digital transmission system environment. In the invention, the signal between the switching field (GSW) and the interface unit ETS1 is divided into a first (DEOS, DSOE) and second signal (DGO, DSO). The first signal is directed through the signal processing unit and the second signal past it. Either one of the signals is selected and activated depending on the need of the signal processing and the operational status of the signal processing unit; this information the interface unit gets from the control unit.
