| 20080307485 | Automatic extension of recording using in-band and out-of-band data sources - Multiple data inputs, to a recording device, including out-of-band data, are used in order to dynamically adjust the start and end times for recordings. These data inputs may include published program schedules, electronic program guide data, real-time data feeds, in-band data markers, and real-time services. In advance of and during an event recording, the media recorder monitors real-time data and determines whether the event will start early, start late, end early, or run past the initial scheduled duration. The media recorder may seek out other scheduled recordings for potential conflicts. If no conflicts are found, the media recorder automatically extends or contracts the length of the recording. If conflicts are found, the media recorder attempts to resolve the conflicts based upon priority designations, heuristics, or additional user input to determine whether to alter the scheduled recording session, for example, by extending the duration of the recording period or switching the recording function to a another scheduled program. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20080313650 | Mutable application experience and user interface - A dynamic and interchangeable set of application behaviors is implemented upon the same underlying software engine. Downloadable data provider behavior descriptors configure the UI generation application dynamically on demand to meet needs that are unknown at ship time, or otherwise cannot be predicted in advance—inputs, formats, contents, and the optimal user interface or experience, all change over time. A data provider supplies the data source locations, data feeds, poll/pull intervals on feeds, parameter definitions, data binding definitions, lists, groups, UI templates, data transformation logic, resources, and UI templates to plug into the base application engine, which transforms the supplied data to create a UI experience tailored to match the appropriate events and available data over time. The base application engine is agnostic to both the data provider and the input data received. | 12-18-2008 |

| 20110107253 | CLINICAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR CHRONIC ILLNESSES USING TELECOMMUNICATION - Patients with chronic illnesses resist using conventional automated healthcare management systems to supply necessary clinical data because such systems feel impersonal, preferring to actually visit a clinic where the patient interacts with various healthcare practitioners. In this invention, the patient interacts with a clinical management system via a series of initial GUI screens that replicate the experience of actually visiting the clinic. Additional screens allow the patient to submit clinical information, to communicate with that patient's healthcare practitioner and other healthcare practitioners, to access management information that aids the patient in managing that patient's chronic illness, and to access educational information regarding that chronic illness. The clinical management system may be used to manage a plurality of different chronic illnesses while providing a consistent look and feel to the screens. At least one appearance characteristic can be altered to indicate the particular chronic illness to which a screen applies. | 05-05-2011 |

| 20100064277 | Versioning And Refactoring Of Business Mashups In On-Demand Environments - Techniques are provided for versioning and refactoring of mashups. During the design phase of a mashup that is operable to access multiple external services, design information that defines or modifies a plurality of design elements included in the mashup is received from a user. Without receiving from the user any input that causes the plurality of design elements to be versioned, current versions of the plurality of design elements are automatically stored in a repository when the plurality of design elements are saved during development of the mashup. The mashup is deployed to one or more servers. Without receiving any input from the user that causes the mashup to be versioned, deploying the mashup comprises automatically storing in the repository a current version of the mashup and versioning information that associates the current version of the mashup with the current versions of the plurality of design elements. | 03-11-2010 |

| 20080198546 | MOTHERBOARD HAVING ADVANCED FAN CONTROL FEATURES - A motherboard is capable of accepting various types of fans from same or different manufacturers and is capable identifying the type of fan to which it is connected. In one embodiment, the motherboard is capable of decoding bar code data originating from a fan of the type which, rather than including circuitry for generating a single index pulse, includes an integral optical sensor and bar code pair for generating the bar code data, the motherboard being further capable of and identifying the fan based on the bar code data. Fan identification has a variety of uses including, for example, adjusting motherboard parameters to properly operate the fan based on the type of fan presently coupled to the motherboard. Additionally, fan speed may be calculated from pulses which are intended to identify the fan. | 08-21-2008 |
