20100046401 | SIP-Based Session Control - These exemplary embodiments utilize Sessions Initiation Protocol (SIP) for admission control. The use of the SIP allows a SIP server itself to perform the admission control function. The use of RSVP linkages is reduced. The use of SIP for admission control allows an application to communicate, or “talk,” to a network and to request that resources within the network be reserved. Any communications device that uses sessions may utilize the SIP protocol for admission control. The SIP protocol may be used for unicast and multicast media sessions including video-on-demand and/or multicast video access control. | 02-25-2010 |

20140181850 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND DEVICES FOR BANDWIDTH CONSERVATION - Aspects of bandwidth conservation include accumulating, in a memory device, inputs received over time and identifying a historical pattern from the inputs. The historical pattern includes a channel change operation when data streamed over a network and received is a commercial. Aspects also include determining whether a next input is expected for currently streamed data. The determining is in response to the historical pattern and whether the currently streamed data is commercial-free content. Aspects further include predicting that the user is not present at an electronic device if the next input to the user interface is expected and is not received, predicting that the user is present and the next input is not expected if the currently streamed data is the commercial-free content, and conserving bandwidth, with respect to the currently streamed data, in response to predicting that the user is not present at the electronic device. | 06-26-2014 |
20160043964 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND DEVICES FOR BANDWIDTH CONSERVATION - Aspects of bandwidth conservation include monitoring, via a processor over a period of time, program state information for content streamed to an electronic device, and accumulating, in a memory device via the processor, inputs received over the period of time from a user of the electronic device. Each of the inputs is correlated to the program state information based on a location in the content at which the corresponding input occurred. Aspects further include identifying patterns of user behavior based on collective correlations between the inputs and the program state information, determining from the patterns a presence or absence of the user at the electronic device with respect to currently streamed content when no inputs are received by the user, and performing a bandwidth control operation with respect to the currently streamed content based on the determined presence or absence of the user. | 02-11-2016 |

20110237769 | Polymers of isoprene from renewable resources - It has been found that certain cells in culture can convert more than about 0.002 percent of the carbon available in the cell culture medium into isoprene. These cells have a heterologous nucleic acid that (i) encodes an isoprene synthase polypeptide and (ii) is operably linked to a promoter. In some cases, these cells are cultured in a culture medium that includes a carbon source, such as, but not limited to, a carbohydrate, glycerol, glycerine, dihydroxyacetone, one-carbon source, oil, animal fat, animal oil, fatty acid, lipid, phospholipid, glycerolipid, monoglyceride, diglyceride, triglyceride, renewable carbon source, polypeptide (e.g., a microbial or plant protein or peptide), yeast extract, component from a yeast extract, or any combination of two or more of the foregoing. The isoprene produced in such a cultured medium can then be recovered and polymerized into synthetic rubbers and other useful polymeric materials.

20150267607 | METHOD FOR OPERATING A WELL SITE - In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a method of operating a well using gas processed at a same well site is provided. The method discloses of providing a well site defined by a perimeter. In ground fossil fuel is extracted and distributed to a processing facility. The processing facility is wholly located within the perimeter of the well site. Once the fossil-fuel is processed into an engine quality combustible gas, it is moved to a downstream destination. Preferably, the downstream destination is located within the perimeter. An exemplary downstream destination is a combustion engine, wherein the processed gas is burned to create an amount of work. The work drives a device also located within the perimeter. Thus, this method provides a way to draw fossil fuel upwards, process it, and burn it, all within the perimeter of the well site. | 09-24-2015 |

The housing has a width less the United States Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration maximum width for a commercial vehicle to allow transportation of the housing without the need for an oversized load shipping permit. The floor width inside the chamber less than a width for said pair of pressure vessels if said vessels were in a side-by-side configuration. | 04-07-2016 |
20160097363 | TRANSPORTABLE GAS DEVICE - A mobile compressed natural gas (CNG) pressure reducing choke and heater unit are mounted to a trailer. The trailer is towable to a location that does not have a sales pipeline of CNG. The CNG has already been processed and is stored in a compressed storage station facility. The CNG then flows through an inlet and through a series of valves and then through the choke. The choke on the trailer chokes down the pressure of CNG directly from a compressed tank, usually on a separate semi-tractor. CNG is then heated, and used on site. The CNG input to this system may come from two distinct sources such that the pressure reduction can continuously occur without any readily observable delay by the user. There are outlet ports to connect to a diesel engine converted to run on CNG. | 04-07-2016 |
