| 20090323552 | Systems and Methods for Managing Virtual Collaboration Systems Spread Over Different Networks - Systems and methods for managing virtual collaboration systems are disclosed herein. A virtual collaboration system includes a distributor communicatively coupled to a first network and a second network having different network characteristics from the first network, the distributor configured to receive first media streams from at least one first network node, and to transmit the first media streams to at least one second network node; and a management subsystem adapted to dynamically configure a topology of a virtual collaborative event, wherein configuration of the topology includes a determination of media stream connections among the distributor and the at least one first network node based, at least in part, on at least one policy, and wherein the media stream connections establish and maintain virtual relationships among the at least one first network node and the at least one second network node. | 12-31-2009 |

| 20110025819 | Compositing Video Streams - Methods and apparatus for compositing multiple video streams onto a background image having at least one object while keeping at least one of a proper perspective, order, and substantial alignment to the object of the multiple video streams based on the rules of a common layout. The background is defined as a meeting space that fills in gaps between the multiple video streams with appropriate structure of the object. The background creates the context of the meeting space. | 02-03-2011 |

| 20090070562 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ASSIGNING THREAD PRIORITY IN A PROCESSOR OR THE LIKE - In a multi-threaded processor, thread priority variables are set up in memory. The actual assignment of thread priority is based on the expiration of a thread precedence counter. To further augment, the effectiveness of the thread precedence counters, starting counters are associated with each thread that serve as a multiplier for the value to be used in the thread precedence counter. The value in the starting counters are manipulated so as to prevent one thread from getting undue priority to the resources of the multi-threaded processor. | 03-12-2009 |

| 20110125184 | Intraoral acupressure apparatus - An intraoral acupressure apparatus made from a model conforming to a user's palate, wherein the apparatus is adapted to be removably retained adjacent to the palate in a predetermined position, relative to acupressure points located on the palate of the user. Various means for securing the apparatus adjacent to the user's palate can be used and the apparatus has one or more projections embedded into the apparatus and extending out from the apparatus into the user's palate at one or more of the acupressure points. These projections into the palate of the user create and stimulate the pressure points that influence corresponding specific body functions to be treated. | 05-26-2011 |

| 20100175302 | Recoil Mechanism and Device - A non-motorized waterfowl decoy device includes a recoil mechanism adapted for use in a front-facing position or a rear-facing position. The recoil mechanism includes a rotatable spindle having a long axis about four times greater than its diameter. The recoil mechanism further includes a elastic drive member adapted to slidably couple into a pair of corresponding slots on the spindle and engage a rear-support post having a u-shaped alignment channel. A pull cord attached to the spindle causes the spindle to rotate and coil the elastic drive member. Positioning the pull cord through a provided aperture on the rear guide-post enables reward-facing operation and, positioning the pull cord through a provided aperture on a front guide posts enables forward-facing operation. | 07-15-2010 |

| 20090327608 | Accelerated resume from hibernation in a cached disk system - Various embodiments of the invention use a non-volatile (NV) memory to store hiberfile data before entering a hibernate state, and retrieve the data upon resume from hibernation. Unlike conventional systems, the reserve space in the NV memory (i.e., the erased blocks available to be used while in the run-time mode) may be used to store hiberfile data. Further, a write-through cache policy may be used to assure that all of the hiberfile data saved in cache will also be stored on the disk drive during the hibernation, so that if the cache and the disk drive are separated during hibernation, the full correct hiberfile data will still be available for a resume operation. | 12-31-2009 |

| 20090146982 | Lighting Calibration System and Method - A lighting calibration system for a video display environment includes a video display and a lighting sensor, fixedly positioned in the environment, and a lighting detection system, coupled to the lighting sensor and controllable from outside the environment. The lighting detection system is configured to receive positionally and temporally unique signals from the lighting sensor, and to provide an indication when lighting conditions in the environment differ from a selected lighting standard, based upon the signals. | 06-11-2009 |
