20150135246 | USE OF SIMULTANEOUSLY RECEIVED VIDEOS BY A SYSTEM TO GENERATE A QUALITY OF EXPERIENCE VALUE - A first instance of a reference video is stored. A primary video and a second instance of the reference video are simultaneously received. At least one quality of experience value that infers a perceptual quality of the primary video as received by a system is generated by comparing the first instance of the reference video to the second instance of the reference video on a pixel-by-pixel, frame-by-frame, basis and determining whether each pixel and each frame contained in the first instance of the reference video are contained in the second instance of the reference video. | 05-14-2015 |

20150082366 | MANAGING QUALITY OF EXPERIENCE FOR MEDIA TRANSMISSIONS - A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system is provided for quality of experience for media transmissions. In an implementation, a method may include defining a lower media stream discontinuity threshold. The method may also include evaluating a media stream discontinuity rate associated with a portion of a media stream. When the media stream discontinuity rate associated with the portion of the media stream is greater than the lower media stream discontinuity threshold, the method may further include determining a quality of experience associated with the portion of the media stream based upon, at least in part, a payload associated with the portion of the media stream. | 03-19-2015 |

20140267787 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING VIDEO PERFORMANCE - A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving one or more transmitted frame identifiers that are mathematical representations of one or more transmitted video frames included within a multi-frame video. One or more video frames included within the multi-frame video are received, thus defining one or more received video frames. A mathematical representation of each of the one or more received video frames is generated, thus defining one or more received frame identifiers. The one or more received frame identifiers are compared to the one or more transmitted frame identifiers to determine a level of similarity between the one or more received video frames and the one or more transmitted video frames. | 09-18-2014 |
20140100188 | PHENOTYPING TUMOR-INFILTRATING LEUKOCYTES - The present disclosure relates to an immune signature of tumor infiltrating leukocytes. In particular, the disclosure provides methods and kits for determining the immune signature of tumor infiltrating leukocytes for use in assessing risk of cancer recurrence and long term survival, and for developing a treatment regimen for a cancer patient. | 04-10-2014 |
20130224907 | METHODS OF MANUFACTURING PHOTOVOLTAIC ELECTRODES - A photovoltaic electrode is made by the following steps: (a) depositing on a substrate a dispersion comprising powdered semiconductor particles in a dispersion medium; (b) removing the majority of the dispersion medium to leave the powdered semiconductor particles in a deposition layer on the substrate; (c) creating a plasma using microwave energy excitation; (d) exposing the deposition layer to said microwave-excited plasma for a sufficient time to sinter the nanoparticles thereby adhering them to the substrate; and (e) absorbing a dye into said sintered deposition layer. The electrode thus obtained exhibits improved performance relative to conventional sintered electrodes. | 08-29-2013 |
20120330683 | EVALUATION OF A SUBJECT'S WEIGHT - A method and system for evaluating a subject's weight calculates a moving average of the weight of the subject based on several consecutive weight measurements e.g. on consecutive days. Rather than looking for absolute weight gains of e.g. 2 kg in 48 hours, as with currently accepted guidelines, each new measurement is compared with the calculated moving average, and a first form of alert is generated if the new measurement differs from the calculated moving average by more than a with expected range threshold amount such as by one standard deviation. If the first form of alert is generated consecutively on a predetermined number of successive iterations, a second form of alert is generated different from the first form of alert. The system and method does not assume a stable underlying patient weight, and absolute weight gains over e.g. a 48 hour period are not used as in currently accepted guidelines, which results in earlier alerting of clinical deteriorations and greatly increased sensitivity relative to published guideline methods. | 12-27-2012 |

20120230501 | AUDITORY TEST AND COMPENSATION METHOD - The present invention provides an auditory test and compensation method for an audio system comprising an audio device coupled to an audio output means and a listener of the audio device. The method comprises the steps of: delivering a series of audio stimuli through the audio output means; capturing a listener's response to the audibility of the stimuli; calculating a compensation print from the frequency response; deriving a filter from the calculated compensation print with respect to the frequencies associated with the frequency response and applying the filter to an audio signal of the audio system. | 09-13-2012 |
