Filed:

Dec 18, 1996

Appl. No.:

8/769495

Inventors:

Narayanan Ramasubramanian - San Jose CA
Michael D. Aronson - Lexington MA

Assignee:

SeeltFirst.com - Fremont CA

International Classification:

H04N 714

US Classification:

345327

Abstract:

A method and system are provided for delivering video from a client to a server over a communication medium with a limited bandwidth. An initial image quality that allows the video to be displayed in real time at the client is determined based on a predetermined frame rate and the limited bandwidth. Video having the initial image quality is transmitted to the client. While transmitting the video to the client, the server receives a message from the client that indicates selection of a second frame rate that is slower than the predetermined frame rate. In response to the message from the client, the server determines a second image quality that allows the video to be displayed in real time at the client based on the second frame rate and the limited bandwidth. The second image quality is higher than the initial image quality. The video with the second image quality is then transmitted to the client.

Abstract:

Hydrocarbon oil based antifoams compositions containing a hydrocarbon-silicon copolymer, a hydrophobic filler, an organo-silicone surfactant, a hydrocarbon carrier oil and optionally a silicone oil act to effectively defoam concentrated solutions, including those containing ionic surfactants or protein based solutions. The use of the hydrocarbon oil based silicone antifoams represents an inexpensive route to defoams difficult solutions.
