20100064139 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF EXTENDING MARKING INFORMATION IN CONTENT DISTRIBUTION - In one embodiment the present invention includes a method of generating tracking information for steganographic insertion in content. The method includes splitting a tracking message into submessages, which are then inserted steganographically into the content and later extracted for tracking purposes. In this manner, the amount of information communicated in the tracking messages may be increased without requiring a redesign of every message insertion device in a distribution chain. | 03-11-2010 |
20100067693 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ENABLING CONTENT OUTPUT ON A DIGITAL DEVICE - In one embodiment the present invention includes a system and method of distributing content. Authorization information is encoded with the content. When received and decoded, if a particular device output is authorized by the authorization information, then the content is output. By encoding the authorization information along with the content, unauthorized display of the content is reduced. | 03-18-2010 |

20100100742 | Transport Stream Watermarking - Methods and apparatuses for processing and watermarking a transport stream with a message. A processed transport stream that includes processed content packets, associated carrier packets, and a watermark descriptor for a group of the associated carrier packets is created from the transport stream. The processed content data represent a first watermark value and are bounded by transport sector boundaries. The associated carrier packets include replacement watermark data that represent a second watermark value and are bounded by transport sector boundaries. These associated carrier packets are paired with processed content packets. The watermark descriptor includes synchronization data. A watermarked transport stream is created by interleaving selected processed content packets and associated carrier packets according to a watermark message. | 04-22-2010 |

20090255333 | MEASURING CUP - A measuring cup includes a wall structure surrounding a holding space to hold contents, an opening exposing the holding space, and a surface pattern provided on the wall structure. The surface pattern includes a plurality of concave patterns superposed on each other. Each concave pattern is vertically concave such that edges therebetween are protruded to form a plurality of first visually observable lines indicative of a first set of predetermined volumes within the holding space. | 10-15-2009 |
20100072100 | DRY INGREDIENTS CONTAINER - A container comprises a storage compartment and a lid. The storage compartment may be formed of plastic, and may include indicia of measuring. The lid may be removably attached to the storage compartment by a latching mechanism. The latching mechanism may be sturdy enough to contain the contents of the storage compartment, even when those contents are substantially heavy. The contents of the storage compartment may pass through an opening in the lid. The opening may be covered by a removably attached closure, and the closure may include indicia of measuring. The closure may thus be removed from the lid, and used as a measuring device. A scoop may be removably attached to the inside of the lid, may include indicia of measuring, and may be used as a measuring device. | 03-25-2010 |
20100084321 | SIFTER APPARATUS - A sifter apparatus is provided that comprises a body having a crank fastener and a mesh sifter support, a lid configured to be attached to the body, a crank configured to be coupled to the crank fastener, a wire structure configured to be coupled to the crank, a bottom configured to be attached to the body, and a mesh sifter configured to be supported by the mesh sifter support. | 04-08-2010 |
