20090188904 | Fault Tolerant Heater Circuit - In one embodiment, a heater circuit includes a number of groups which each include a number of resistive elements arranged in an electrically parallel circuit that are coupled between two power terminals in a series circuit. Each resistive element is disposed on the surface of a structure and physically parallel to other resistive elements in the group and to resistive elements in other groups. The width and/or thickness of the resistive elements may be varied to control the heat generated in particular regions. | 07-30-2009 |
20090192757 | Apparatus for Measuring Surface Temperature Using Embedded Components - In one embodiment, a temperature sensing apparatus includes two temperature sensors that are disposed at differing depths from a surface and a measurement circuit that is coupled to the temperature sensors. The measurement circuit is operable to calculate the temperature of the surface based on a first temperature of one temperature sensor with a second temperature of the other temperature sensor. | 07-30-2009 |
20120261402 | Apparatus for Remotely Measuring Surface Temperature Using Embedded Components - In one embodiment, a temperature sensing apparatus includes a temperature sensor disposed in a structure at a first depth from a first surface of the structure. A heat flux sensor is also disposed in the structure at substantially the same depth as the first depth. A measurement circuit is coupled to the temperature sensor and the heat flux sensor. The measurement circuit calculates a surface temperature of the first surface based on a temperature of the temperature sensor and a heat flow of the heat flux sensor. | 10-18-2012 |

20110157475 | METHODS AND APPARATUS TO DETECT COMMERCIAL ADVERTISEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH MEDIA PRESENTATIONS - Methods and apparatus to detect commercial advertisements associated with media presentations are disclosed. An example method involves receiving a video frame and detecting a change in box-formatting between the video frame and a subsequent video frame. A transition between the video frame and the subsequent video frame is indicated as a commercial advertisement transition based on the detected change in box-formatting. | 06-30-2011 |
20150082332 | METHODS AND APPARATUS TO DETECT COMMERCIAL ADVERTISEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH MEDIA PRESENTATIONS - Methods and apparatus to detect commercial advertisements associated with media presentations are disclosed. An example method includes determining an amount of audio randomness an inter-segment audio frame. The example method also includes indicating the inter-segment audio frame as occurring at a commercial transition based on the amount of audio randomness of the at least one inter-segment audio frame. | 03-19-2015 |
