Cosmosent "Home"


📌 Important Note:
Starting today, Tues, Jan 7, 2025, we're updating the User Guide on this website.

Our intent is to craft new User Docs intended to help Newbies get up to speed quickly.

Mostly by piecing-together existing Docs in a more-meaningful way for New Users.

And by Enhancing & Refining where appropriate.

And BTW, the new User Docs will assume you know nothing about how to operate Photosets.

News Update : 9 AM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, Jan 15, 2025

FYI, to prepare Photosets for participating in a post-TikTok Env, today we began partitioning Photosets' User Docs into two parts, one for Consumers, & another for Producers.

On a side note, today we are also announcing that we've decided to use Photosets' RGB3x file format on our internal Content Servers.

Among other things, RGB3x is the ONLY known file format that includes support for Machine Learning (ML) Tags/Captions/Labels !

Specifically, up-to ML "255" bytes per photo.

And naturally, from our perspective, it's intended for the Capture & Collection of "Dynamic" ML Training Data.

News Update : 6 AM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, Jan 15, 2025

FYI, one more thing to announce today.

While we do expect to get our prototype E90 M3 Lite back from the Auto Shop later today, we've decided (this morning) that we will NOT be moving forward with our planned custom camshafts for it.

The TikTok opportunity is simply too important.

We need to stay focused !

And BTW, our E90 M3 Lite had both Valve Stem Oil Seal & VANOS "R&R jobs" done on it over the past 1.5 weeks.

Parts & Labor came to $6K USD.

News Update : 5:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, Jan 15, 2025

FYI, quick update to our earlier Breaking News:

1.) We could have Photosets' Social Media feature Up-and-Running by this time next month !

2.) If TikTok's market value is in-deed $50B USD, how much of that is due to their Higher-End customers ?

We leave it to the Reader & to potential Investors & Corp Partners to figure out.

BREAKING NEWS : 5 AM (La Jolla-time) Wednesday, Jan 15, 2025

Cosmosent Labs, Inc., the Leader in Burst Photo Technology & Domain/Application/Use-Case support, is today announcing that we're positioning Photosets to participate in a post-TikTok Env.

Assume for the moment that TikTok does in-deed Shut Down here in the U.S. on Sunday.

Then what ?

Alternatives will emerge.

With the Social Media feature that we've hinted at over the past few weeks, Photosets could compete.

It would in fact, represent the High-End of a splintered post-TikTok Env.

Which as you can probably guess, is NOT a bad place to be.

(1) It is precisely because of Photosets' status in Tim Cook's App Store
that we're now actively working on the other two items.

Those sufficiently Skilled in the Art (of Marketing) should appreciate what we're up to.

(2) BMW never produced an N52-based M3 sports sedan.

We consider that to be a Dumb Move on their part,
especially since the 2006-2008 E90 sedans were BMW's last
with their highly-prized Hydraulic-assist Power Steering.

Our camshafts will result in what we refer to as an "E90 M3 Lite" !

(3) Intended to give the 1/3 in the middle a Political Voice
(& perhaps some much-needed Political Power).

Final Parts List for the Valve Stem Oil Seal R&R Job

ALL parts, except the Intake Valve Springs, were purchased at FCP Euro.

Total parts cost:  $1,273.14 USD

Important Notes:

1.) The N52 in our prototype 2006 E90 M3 Lite
has Exhaust valves with a 6 mm stem diameter.

2.) The ONLY part that wasn't In Stock anywhere were the Intake Valve Springs.

And the reason we didn't order those early was because we didn't know if we needed
12 (Intake ONLY) OR 24 (Intake & Exhuast).

They are strictly for valves with a 5 mm stem diameter.
