20120320196 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REMOTELY CONTROLLING A LIVE TV PRODUCTION - According to some embodiments, methods, systems, apparatus, means and computer program products are provided which allow the remote production of live events by capturing, at a remote event site, event video data in a first time horizon. The event video data is compressed to a proxy of the event video data, and the proxy event video data is transmitted to a remote production facility. A switcher at the production facility is operated to generate commands to produce a proxy program using the proxy event video data. The commands are associated with a second time horizon delayed from the first time horizon. The commands are then transmitted to the remote event site to cause a shadow switcher to produce a cut program in third time horizon delayed from the second time horizon, where the cut program is produced using the event video data. The cut program is transmitted to the production facility, where additional data may be keyed into the cut program in a fourth time horizon, where the fourth time horizon delayed from the first, second and third time horizons. The resulting program is the broadcast program that can be broadcast and distributed. | 12-20-2012 |

20090315161 | DIE ATTACH METHOD AND LEADFRAME STRUCTURE - In one aspect of the invention, a method of attaching a semiconductor die to a microarray leadframe is described. The method comprises stamping an adhesive onto discrete areas of the microarray leadframe using a multi-pronged stamp tool. The adhesive is applied to the leadframe as a series of dots, each dot corresponding to an associated prong of the stamping tool. In some embodiments the adhesive used to attach the semiconductor die to a leadframe is a black epoxy based adhesive material. In an apparatus aspect of the invention, lead traces in a microarray leadframe are arranged to have tails that extend beyond their associated contact posts on the side of the contact post that is opposite a wire bonding region such that such lead traces extends on two opposing sides of their associated contact posts. The tails do not attach to other structures within the lead frame (such as a die attach structure). The width of at least some of these tailed lead traces in a region that overlies their associated contact post is narrower than their associated contact post. Thus, these narrowed lead traces have extensions that extend beyond their associated contact posts. The extensions provide additional surface area that gives an adhesive applied to the narrowed lead trace (as for example by stamping) room to bleed (flow) along the top surface of the lead trace on both sides of the associated contact pad. | 12-24-2009 |

20110230121 | Single piece abdominal support garment - A single piece garment for those having a distended abdomen, said garment extending upwards from the groin to beneath the breasts. The garment comprises an inner layer and an outer layer. The inner layer has several elastomeric fabrics having differing modulus of elasticity. A section beneath the abdomen is formed from an anisotropic elastomeric fabric with a low modulus of elasticity that supports a distended abdomen. Side panels extending upwards from the abdomen across the hips to the lumbar region are made from an isotropic elastomeric fabric having a moderate modulus of elasticity. These connect to a rear panel across the lumbar of an anisotropic elastomeric fabric having a moderate modulus of elasticity. The directionality of the anisotropic elastomeric fabrics is from the abdomen across the hips to the lumbar region. The entire garment has an outer layer of an isotropic elastomeric fabric with a relatively low modulus of elasticity except for an elastomeric fabric across the lumbar region formed from a high modulus anisotropic elastomeric fabric. | 09-22-2011 |
