| 20100031025 | Method and system to authorize and assign digital certificates without loss of privacy, and/or to enhance privacy key selection - A method and system for public key infrastructure key and certificate management provides anonymity to certificate holders and protects the privacy of certificate holders from the compromise of a certificate authority. Functional separation is provided in the authorization of a certificate request and the assignment of certificates and key pairs. The authorizing certificate authority approves or denies each certificate request from a requestor whose identity is not made available to the assigning certificate authority. The assigning certificate authority, upon approval from the authorizing certificate authority, issues one or more certificates and optionally generates and provides the associated key pairs to the requester without disclosing these certificates and key pairs to the authorizing certificate authority. In another aspect, a distributed method is disclosed that allows individual nodes and/or units in a network to select certificates for broadcasting messages to a community of interest with a non-unique key. | 02-04-2010 |

| 20090172634 | INTERACTIVE LOOP CONFIGURATION IN A BEHAVIORAL SYNTHESIS TOOL - A behavioral synthesis tool for generating an integrated circuit design is described. The behavioral synthesis tool allows a designer to interactively allocate loop configuration information without having to modify a source code description of the integrated circuit. The behavioral synthesis tool reads the source code description and generates a synthesis intermediate format stored in memory. The synthesis tool searches the in-memory synthesis intermediate format to find loops. The loops are then listed in a graphical user interface (GUI) in hierarchical fashion. The GUI also lists loop configuration information associated with the loops, such as loop frequency, loop unrolling and loop pipelining. The GUI allows the designer to modify the loop configuration information without having to update the source code description. Upon completion of modifying the loop configuration information, the designer saves the changes illustrated in the GUI and such changes are effectuated by automatically updating the synthesis intermediate format. | 07-02-2009 |

| 20100121941 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PORTABLE DATA STORAGE DEVICES THAT AUTOMATICALLY INITIATE DATA TRANSFERS UTILIZING HOST DEVICES - A computing system including a media content provider (MCP), a host device, a portable media content storage device (PMCSD), and a data communications network. In response to data communications being initiated between the PMCSD the host device, a data transfer application resident on the PMCSD is automatically executed to determine if any media content transfer instructions exist on the PMCSD or a MCP. The data transfer application resident on the PMCSD may be a portable application not requiring the installation of any configuration or support files to the host device or it may be an application having a boot process that installs configuration or support files to the host device prior to application execution. When one or more media content transfer instructions exists on the PMCSD or a MCP, the media content transfer instruction(s) is processed by the host device, to facilitate media content transfer between the PMCSD and the MCP. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20100131385 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DISTRIBUTION OF DIGITAL MEDIA CONTENT UTILIZING VIRAL MARKETING OVER SOCIAL NETWORKS - A networked computing system capable of distributing commercial digital media content utilizing existing interpersonal resources of a social network service (SNS). The networked computing system includes a media content provider (MCP), multiple personal computing devices (PCDs), a SNS and a data communications network that facilitates data communications amongst the MCP, the PCDs, and the SNS. A registered user of the SNS at a first PCD is able to access media content emanating from a MCP based on a media content referral from a registered user of the same SNS at a second PCD. The SNS may operate as an agent for the MCP so that the MCP can use the SNS as a viral media content marketing utility. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20110029664 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PEAK FLOW DETECTION IN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK - An adaptive file delivery system and method transmits a data file, such as an audio-video file, over a network or collection of networks in segments, each segment transmitted during a different time period. Each time period has a transmission portion to transmit its associated file segment and a wait portion in which no further interaction with the network occurs regarding the transmitted segment. In some implementations, the duration of the transmission portion of each time period is sufficient to reach a steady-state throughput condition, which allows the traffic load status of the network or networks to be determined from rate measurements of file segment transmissions. A peak flow determination is made to assure that the delivery of file segments does not cause network congestion. The system has spurious peak rejection to avoid the false detection of network congestion. | 02-03-2011 |

| 20100198943 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROGRESSIVE DOWNLOAD USING SURPLUS NETWORK CAPACITY - Systems and methods for providing the progressive download of media content using techniques that preferentially identify and use periods of surplus network capacity to maintain the content delivery. A buffer of a receiving system is maintained and pre-filled with enough content to bridge playback intervals where a network is unable to deliver content as fast as it is played out. Content delivery does not impact other users' applications and use of the network and its resources since content is only sent when surplus network capacity exists in the network. When no surplus network capacity is available, a user requesting content may be given the option to continue the delivery in the background so that the content may be played at a later time. The user may then resume their playback experience once the content has been completely delivered using surplus network capacity as it becomes available. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100274871 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONGESTION DETECTION IN AN ADAPTIVE FILE DELIVERY SYSTEM - An adaptive file delivery system and method transmits a data file, such as an audio-video file, over a network or collection of networks in segments, each segment transmitted during a different time period. Each time period has a transmission portion to transmit its associated file segment and a wait portion in which no further interaction with the network occurs regarding the transmitted segment. In some implementations, the duration of the transmission portion of each time period is sufficient to reach a steady-state throughput condition, which allows the traffic load status of the network or networks to be determined from rate measurements of file segment transmissions. The duration of the wait portion of each time period is at least long enough to limit the average rate of file segment transmission to adapt to network traffic load variations and avoid network congestion. Various techniques for measuring congestion are described. | 10-28-2010 |
