20110164861 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING A SCAN - Systems and methods for a video scan are provided. The scan may be dynamically interactive and a function of characteristics of the programs in the scan (e.g., commercial breaks or the end of a program approaching) The scan may simultaneously display multiple scan windows for a plurality of programs, for example in a scan wizard. The scan wizard allows the user to simultaneously view a scan window and an information panel, select criteria for the scan from a criteria panel, and control the scan using a scan control panel. The scan may allow the user to record a program displayed in the scan without interrupting the scan (e.g., by using an additional tuner). The scan may display, within the scan interface, trick-play functions for appropriate scanned programs (e.g., recorded, cached and on-demand programs).

20160132714 | FIRE URGENCY ESTIMATOR IN GEOSYNCHRONOUS ORBIT (FUEGO) - A fire detector is disclosed that successively images a particular area from geosynchronous Earth orbit satellite to attain very good signal-to-noise ratios against Poisson fluctuations within one second. Differences between such images allow for the automatic detection of small fires greater than 12 square meters. Imaging typically takes place in transparent bands of the infrared spectrum, thereby rendering smoke from the fire and light clouds somewhat transparent. Several algorithms are disclosed that can help reduce false fire alarms, and their efficiencies are shown. Early fire detection and response would be of great value in the United States and other nations, as wild land fires destroy property and lives and contribute around five percent of the US global carbon dioxide contribution. Such apparatus would incorporate modern imaging detectors, software, and algorithms able to detect heat from early and small fires, and yield detection times on a scale of minutes. | 05-12-2016 |

20140172793 | OPPORTUNISTIC, PRIORITY-BASED OBJECT SYNCHRONIZATION - Mechanisms for synchronizing an object set with a remote data store are often performed at a particular frequency, e.g., once per hour or day. However, the objects of the object set may have different priorities, and it may be advantageous to synchronize higher-priority objects more often than regular-priority objects. The synchronization mechanisms may also differ (e.g., high-priority object synchronization may be direct and/or holistic, while regular-priority object synchronization may be differential, cached, and/or involving version and/or conflict resolution). Additionally, a resource-based threshold may be applied to the high-priority objects (e.g., a bandwidth cap) in order to reduce resource exhaustion, and high-priority objects that are not synchronized within the threshold may be synchronized with the regular-priority objects. These techniques may be particularly advantageous for synchronizing objects comprising an application state of applications of current or recent usage by a user, where application state “staleness” is acutely visible to the user. | 06-19-2014 |

20110078333 | SYNCHRONIZATION OF SERVER-SIDE COOKIES WITH CLIENT-SIDE COOKIES - Described are methods and systems for synchronizing client-side cookies with server-side cookies. A control that executes on a client computer within the context of a remote application, receives control input that is generated by a remote control that executes on a server within the remote application. In response to receiving the control input, the control generates a content request and forwards the content request to a synchronization agent that executes on the client computer. In many instances, the content request is a request for a cookie. Upon receiving the content request, the synchronization agent determines the type of content requested and responsively issues a synchronization request to a remote synchronization agent that executes on the server. The remote synchronization agent retrieves the requested content from the server and transmits the requested content to the synchronization agent. Upon receiving the requested content, the synchronization agent returns the content to the control. | 03-31-2011 |

20130212288 | Client Bandwidth Emulation in Hosted Services - Bandwidth on the Internet and intranets is highly variable and unreliable, two properties that can make streaming digital media content difficult. In a virtualization system (e.g., virtual desktop, remote desktop, remote application, and the like), this is especially so based on different bandwidths available to the session host and the session client. Methods and systems for emulating a bandwidth of a client device in a virtualization system are described. When the session host is executing an application (e.g., a digital media application), the session host may emulate the bandwidth of the session client by hooking into and throttling date over one or more APIs associated with the digital media application, thereby tricking the application into making a bandwidth determination based on the emulated bandwidth of the session client, rather than based on the bandwidth of the session host. | 08-15-2013 |

20110218306 | ATOM TRANSFER RADICAL POLYMERIZATION PROCESS - Embodiments of the polymerization process of the present invention are directed to polymerizing free radically polymerizable monomers in the presence of a polymerization medium initially comprising at least one transition metal catalyst and an atom transfer radical polymerization initiator. The polymerization medium may additionally comprise a reducing agent. The reducing agent may be added initially or during the polymerization process in a continuous or intermittent manner. The polymerization process may further comprises reacting the reducing agent with at least one of the transition metal catalyst in an oxidized state and a compound comprising a radically transferable atom or group to form a compound that does not participate significantly in control of the polymerization process. Embodiments of the present invention comprise reacting a reducing agent with at least one of catalyst in an oxidized state and a compound comprising a radically transferable atom or group to initiate and/or maintain catalytic activity throughout the polymerization process. | 09-08-2011 |
20110263722 | Well Defined stars with segmented arms - The present invention relates to the preparation and use of well defined star macromolecules wherein the composition of the arms are selected to induce self assembly when the multi-arm segmented star macromolecules are dispersed in a liquid. The self assembled star macromolecules modify the rheology of the dispersing media. When targeting use in aqueous based systems the inner shell of the star macromolecules comprise non-ionizable monomer units. Compositions comprising the self assemblable star macromolecules are suitable for use as rheology modifiers in a number of applications including cosmetic and personal care compositions. | 10-27-2011 |
