20140266557 | Inherently Balanced Phase Shifting AutoTransformer - A device and method of use for a phase shifting autotransformer is disclosed which has inherently balanced impedance characteristics. This is achieved by having the coil windings structured such that the following two requirements are met. Equivalent winding sections must have essentially equal lengths, occupy equal radial volumes and therefore exhibit equal resistances. Secondly, semi-bifilar or full-bifilar construction ensures that the inductances generated in each section essentially cancel each other out, minimizing the reactive component of the impedance such that it can be dominated by the resistive component in operation. As a result of these two design elements, the 5th and 7th harmonics that dominate 6-pulse systems can be attenuated much more effectively than was previously possible, improving both the overall performance of the phase shifting autotransformer itself, as well as its associate system. | 09-18-2014 |

20140155234 | Wraps For Improving Grip On Exercise Equipment - Weight lifters have traditionally used chalk to improve their grip when performing heavier lifts. However, the use of chalk has been increasingly disallowed at gyms and fitness centers around the country because the residue from the chalk can create a mess. This invention discloses a set of wraps that can serve as a sufficient substitute for chalk so the lifter can still perform the same lifts without any safety concerns due to potential loss of grip, but with none of the resulting mess. The wraps are made up of a sturdy, yet flexible material that allows for a minimal amount of stretching. The stretching is an important feature because the flexible material will have a section with a material that allows for the wrap to securely fasten to itself and the stretching will make the fastening step easier. Also, embedded within the flexible material is a ridge or shape that will further enhance a user's grip. This embedded member should be utilized to shelf the palm during pushing exercises, and shelf the fingers during pulling exercises. | 06-05-2014 |

20140024457 | GAME BROWSING - Embodiments of the present invention allow players to instantly access and begin playing games through an online service. To make the games instantly available, an online service keeps instances of games running in active memory waiting for a player to be added. The game instances running in active memory are not attached to a player profile or an I/O channel from a game client. Once the player requests a game, the player's player profile is loaded into the running game instance and an I/O channel is mapped from the game client to the game instance. From the player's perspective, the preloaded game instances allow the player to browse directly from game to game with very little delay. To optimize the usage of server-side resources, historical usage data may be analyzed to anticipate demand for different games. | 01-23-2014 |
20140057722 | GAME MIGRATION - Embodiments of the present invention allow game play to migrate back and forth between a server-run video game and a client-run video game. For example, a user could start playing a video game running on a server and then migrate play to a client device, such as a game console. When a game is running on the server, the server executes the game code, renders a video image, and communicates the image to the client. The client may communicate game control commands to the server. The game play may also start on the client and transition to a server. For example, a user may reach a point in the game where the user does not have the game files stored on the client. | 02-27-2014 |
20140179421 | CLIENT RENDERING OF LATENCY SENSITIVE GAME FEATURES - Embodiments of the present invention split game processing and rendering between a client and a game server. A rendered video game image is received from a game server and combined with a rendered image generated by the game client to form a single video game image that is presented to a user. Game play may be controlled using a rich sensory input, such as three-dimensional image data and audio data. The three-dimensional image data describes the shape, size and orientation of objects present in a play space. The rich sensory input is communicated to a game server, potentially with some preprocessing, and is also consumed locally on the client, at least in part. In one embodiment, latency sensitive features are the only features processed on the client and rendered on the client. | 06-26-2014 |
20140179436 | CLIENT SIDE PROCESSING OF GAME CONTROLLER INPUT - Embodiments of the present invention enable rich control input data to control video games that are remotely executed. Rich control input includes three-dimensional image data, color video, audio, device orientation data, and touch input. A remotely-executed video game is one executed on a server or other computing device that is networked to a client device receiving the rich control input. Rich control input includes more data than can be uploaded to a game server without degrading game performance. Embodiments of the present invention preprocess the rich control data on the client and into data that may be uploaded to the game server. The rich input stream may be processed in a general way or in a game-specific way. | 06-26-2014 |
20140256420 | UNIVIED GAME PREVIEW - Embodiments of the present invention provide a video game preview. The video game preview may run on a game client or on a game server associated with a game service. A current preview experience is maintained by causing the client or server to access a central preview file that defines the preview experience. The preview may be provided by the game service or on the game client depending on circumstances. In one embodiment, if game code for the preview is present locally on the client, then the client provides the preview. If the video game code is not available locally at the game client, then the preview is either generated by the game service and streamed to the game client or the code is downloaded to the game client to enable the client to generate the preview. | 09-11-2014 |
20140267429 | CLIENT SIDE PROCESSING OF PLAYER MOVEMENT IN A REMOTE GAMING ENVIRONMENT - Embodiments of the present invention provide client-side scene movement using imagery generated by a game server. Embodiments of the present invention predictively render additional imagery surrounding the present field of view. The predictive scene imagery may be on all sides of the current field of view. Embodiments of the present invention determine the amount of predictive scene imagery generated according to a likelihood of use. In addition to client-adjusted rotation, embodiments of the present invention may predictively translate the field of view. Translation is moving the point of view forward, backward or side-to-side. Predictive translation imagery may be communicated to the game server for use in local translation functions. | 09-18-2014 |
20140274379 | CLIENT SIDE PROCESSING OF CHARACTER INTERACTIONS IN A REMOTE GAMING ENVIRONMENT - Embodiments of the present invention split game processing and rendering between a client and a game server. A rendered video game image is received from a game server and combined with a rendered image generated by the game client to form a single video game image that is presented to a user. Control input is received by a client device and then communicated to a game server, potentially with some preprocessing, and is also consumed locally on the client, at least in part. An embodiment of the present invention processes and renders some or all of a character's interactions with game objects on the client device associated with the character. A character is associated with a client device when control input associated with the character is received from a user of the client device. | 09-18-2014 |

20140282555 | Ensuring Determinism During Programmatic Replay in a Virtual Machine - Aspects of an application program's execution which might be subject to non-determinism are performed in a deterministic manner while the application program's execution is being recorded in a virtual machine environment so that the application program's behavior, when played back in that virtual machine environment, will duplicate the behavior that the application program exhibited when originally executed and recorded. Techniques disclosed herein take advantage of the recognition that only minimal data needs to be recorded in relation to the execution of deterministic operations, which actually can be repeated “verbatim” during replay, and that more highly detailed data should be recorded only in relation to non-deterministic operations, so that those non-deterministic operations can be deterministically simulated (rather than attempting to re-execute those operations under circumstances where the outcome of the re-execution might differ) based on the detailed data during replay. | 09-18-2014 |
