| 20090167522 | Method and apparatus for monitoring a material medium - A material medium, such as an optical fiber or electrical cable, is commonly used to carry services, such as telecommunications or energy service. The current invention identifies the following problems which may be encountered when monitoring a material medium. They are: (1) requiring a time and labor intensive investigation to find a fault, (2) needing a significant change in a current material medium infrastructure to support a monitoring effort, or (3) reducing available bandwidth in a material medium due to a monitoring device intruding into the material medium to send data. These problems are solved, in accordance with a feature of the current invention, by monitoring a material medium with at least one diagnostic sensor, and using an electromagnetic (EM) signal, such as radio frequency (RF), signal to wirelessly transmit the sensor data. The diagnostic sensor may measure the operational health of the material medium, or may measure local environmental conditions around the material medium. Using an EM signal, such as RF, to wirelessly transmit sensor data allows for a fast, low labor monitoring approach. Additionally, it avoids a need to either; (1) transfer the data by intruding into the monitored material medium, or (2) set up an independent material medium system to transfer the data. | 07-02-2009 |

| 20080244665 | System and method of providing video content - A method of providing video content is disclosed that includes identifying a current user of a set-top box device, where a plurality of users that includes the current user is associated with the set-top box device. The method also includes identifying a first channel associated with the set-top box device, where the set-top box device is tuned to the first channel. Further, the method includes predicting that the current user will select at least one next channel based on historical data associated with the current user. The method also includes streaming video content of the at least one next channel to the set-top box device via a video distribution network while the set-top box device is tuned to the first channel. | 10-02-2008 |

| 20100096189 | Vertical drilling system for controlling deviation - Systems for controlling deviations during drilling operations, including a transmission housing and a bearing assembly secured between a stator housing and a drill bit. Two stabilizers are secured to the transmission housing, and one stabilizer is secured to the bearing assembly to provide enhanced stability to the lower portion of the drill string. The stabilizers can have a triangular shaped body for increasing flow area, reducing annular velocity, and increasing stiffness of the system. The stabilizers can be rotationally offset from one another to facilitate maintaining the gauge of the borehole. The transmission housing can be a one-piece construction to minimize connections within the system and improve reliability. The stabilizers can include laser clad metal surfaces and diamond dome inserts to prevent wear and erosion. A triangular reamer can be included beneath the stabilizers to further prevent wear to the stabilizers and to add stability to the drill bit. | 04-22-2010 |

| 20100130599 | CYP2C9*8 Alleles Correlate With Decreased Warfarin Metabolism And Increased Warfarin Sensitivity - The present disclosure is related to a method of identifying a subject with increased sensitivity to warfarin. The method includes identifying a CYP2C9*8 polymorphism in the subject, wherein the presence of said polymorphism is indicative of a patient with increased sensitivity to warfarin relative to a subject having the corresponding wild-type allele. | 05-27-2010 |
