| 20090259749 | COMPUTER SYSTEM INPUT/OUTPUT MANAGEMENT - The collection of performance data at multiple servers in a SAN and forwarding that data to a centralized server for analysis is disclosed. Remote agents and a central server application collect specific interesting negative event data to enable a picture of the operational health of the SAN to be determined. The agents are placed in servers having HBAs acting as initiators. The agents interact with the HBAs through a driver stack to collect event data. Because of the initiator function they perform, HBAs have visibility to parts of the network that other entities do not have access to, and thus are ideal locations for gathering event data. A SAN diagnostics manager then pulls the collected data from each agent so that a “picture” of the SAN can be developed. In addition to collecting initiator data, the agents also collect errors and performance data from the OS of the servers. | 10-15-2009 |

| 20090070815 | ELECTRONIC PROGRAM GUIDE DISPLAYED SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH TELEVISION PROGRAMMING - A system for displaying an electronic program guide (EPG) to a viewer. The system includes displaying one or more data slices representative of broadcast programming to a viewer. In response to input from the viewer, the displayed number of data slices is increased, for example, from one slice to two slices. In browser mode the viewer can scroll through multiple EPG data slices without selecting to view full mode EPG, while in full mode the EPG can expand from a single column of data slices to multiple columns of data slices based upon viewer selections. The EPGs of the present invention can display programming that a viewer is more likely to watch at a particular time than other programming. A data slice representing the predicted programming can be inserted into the EPG so that the viewer can identify programming that is likely to be of interest. | 03-12-2009 |

| 20090007182 | Pre-Fragmentation of Data Destined for Low Resource Clients - Program data for use in electronic program guides is fragmented in advance of delivery to a low resource client. In the described implementation, the program data is fragmented into equal size fragments. The size of each fragment is selected to guarantee that the data fragments will fit in pre-allocated memory segments at the client. When the program data is delivered to the client, the client stores the data packets in the memory segments without making system calls to the memory. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090083806 | Media organization for distributed sending of media data - Media data is distributed across multiple devices and is locatable using a hashing function and a hash table. The media data is partially replicated based on popularity thereof. In a described implementation, a media data block is locatable by hashing a media data indicator to produce a media data hash value that maps to a bin of the hash table. The bin is associated with at least one device that stores and/or with a sender that is capable of sending to clients the media data blocks mapping thereto. Each bin may have primary and secondary roles. Devices holding primary roles store all of the media data blocks mapping to a bin. Devices holding secondary roles replicate the media data blocks mapping to the bin that are also within a top predetermined popularity percentage. Popularity is determined based on numbers of clients currently requesting a particular media data portion. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20100194977 | Full Scale Video with Overlaid Graphical User Interface and Scaled Image - The present disclosure relates to displaying full scale images with overlaid similar scaled images and a graphical user device in a display of a client device. The client device receives video streams of the full scale images and scaled images. The video streams are broadcast independent of one another, and a user of the client device may manipulate the format of the images of either or both streams, and/or place the scaled image on any portion of the full scaled image. The graphical user interface is placed so it does not obscure the scaled image. Alternatively a single video stream may be received by the client device. When a single video stream is received, the client device creates two video streams, one stream comprising full scale images and the other stream comprising scaled images. The full scale image is overlaid with the scaled image and the graphical user interface. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20110191803 | Trick Mode Support for VOD with Long Intra-Frame Intervals - A video-on-demand system encodes multiple video streams from media content, such that the video streams have staggered intra-frame intervals. When a client device requests a video stream, the video-on-demand system selects one of the multiple video streams based on the position of the intra-frames, and transmits the selected video stream to the client device. | 08-04-2011 |
| 20110209178 | Specialized Media Presentation Via an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) - An electronic program guide (EPG) may include entries that enable access to one or more images. In some implementations, when an image-related entry is selected by a user, a device presents the one or more images that are associated with the selected entry. In some implementations, portions of the EPG are presented as links. Selection of a link effectuates a search and may be followed by the visual presentation of one or more images resulting from the search. Additionally, in some implementations, an image can be communicated with an electronic communication. In response to the electronic communication, an image entry may be added to the channel lineup of the EPG. Selection of the image entry in the EPG may cause the device to visually present the image. | 08-25-2011 |

| 20110097083 | Data center optical network - A new networking architecture for data centers, storage networks, and parallel computer centers. This invention eliminates the need for the large complicated core. In essence we replace the large complicated M×M switches at the core of the data center network with simple 1×N (where N is the total number of servers in the data center) switch at every server. Physically, we take advantage of the fact that a single optical fiber can carry thousands of high-bandwidth communications channels to enable the construction of 1×N switches that are roughly equivalent in cost and complexity to a single optical transponder unit. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110169953 | Super resolution imaging sensor - A system and process for converting a series of short-exposure, small-FOV zoom images to pristine, high-resolution images, of a face, license plate, or other targets of interest, within a fraction of a second. The invention takes advantage or the fact that some regions in a telescope field of view can be super-resolved; that is, features will appear in random regions which have resolution better than the diffraction limit of the telescope. This effect arises because the turbulent layer in the near-field of the object can act as a lens, focusing rays ordinarily outside the diffraction-limited cone into the distorted image. The physical effect often appears as magnified sub-regions of the image, as if one had held up a magnifying glass to a portion of the image. Applicants have experimentally shown these effects on short-range anisoplanatic imagery, along a horizontal path over the desert. In addition, they have developed powerful parallel processing software to overcome the warping and produce sharp images. | 07-14-2011 |
