| 20100125882 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CREATING AND USING VIDEO PLAYLISTS WITHIN A NETWORK - The invention pertains to a method and apparatus for creating and using video playlists within a network. In accordance with the invention, a user is enabled to create a playlist comprising a plurality of video segments and store the playlist for later access and viewing. In some implementations, the user may upload playlists to the network in order to permit other users to view the playlist and, if desired, watch the playlist's contents. In other implementations, the content provider or third parties may create playlists and make the contents available for viewing. In yet other implementations, the content provider or a third party may insert advertisements into a playlist's contents. | 05-20-2010 |
| 20100296643 | Integration of Voice Chat Services - A communication system provides a user with the ability to redirect telephone calls to a voice chat account and vice versa. In one example, a voice chat gateway may receive communication requests and determine whether communications directed to a first party is to be redirected. If so, the voice chat gateway may reroute the communication request to an appropriate destination. For instance, a user may request that all communications such as telephone calls be rerouted as a voice chat to the user's voice chat account. Alternatively, a user may request that all communications including voice chats be redirected to a telephone number. Users may further be allowed to call a voice chat account through a telephone network and initiate a voice chat with a telephone number through a data network. | 11-25-2010 |
| 20110016488 | Communication Signaling Engine - A verbal request for an action to be performed in connection with a user's set-top box may be received by a Program Content Manager (PCM) from a voice-enabled input/output device such as a VoIP-enabled device or a mobile communication device. Alternatively, the user may request an action via email, text message, and the like. The PCM receiving the action request may execute, or schedule the request for later execution, depending on whether the request is for a real-time or future action. The user may also request to send an alert or a program recording request to others. Recipients may be able to request further alerts or confirm a program recording invitation if certain criteria are met. | 01-20-2011 |

| 20090188164 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HYDROGEN SULFIDE REMOVAL - A method and system for hydrogen sulfide removal from a sour gas mixture including hydrogen sulfide includes providing an aqueous solution comprising a transition metal oxide, sulfide or carbonate compound, wherein a transition metal of the transition metal oxide is at a first valence and has at least one reduction state from the first valence. The sour gas mixture is reacted with the transition metal compound and the aqueous solution in a reactor, wherein sulfide from the hydrogen sulfide is oxidized to form elemental sulfur and the transition metal is reduced to form a reduced state transition metal compound. An electrochemical redox reaction is performed including the reduced state transition metal compound to regenerate the transition metal compound in an electrolyzer comprising an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte membrane between the anode and cathode, wherein an oxygen including gas is added to the cathode during the electrochemical redox reaction. The transition metal compound that is regenerated in the electrochemical redox reaction is then returned to the reactor for the reacting. | 07-30-2009 |

| 20090060805 | Process and apparatus for hydrogen and carbon production via carbon aerosol-catalyzed dissociation of hydrocarbons - The present invention relates to a novel process for sustainable, continuous production of hydrogen and carbon by catalytic dissociation or decomposition of hydrocarbons at elevated temperatures using in-situ generated carbon particles. Carbon particles are produced by decomposition of carbonaceous materials in response to an energy input. The energy input can be provided by at least one of a non-oxidative and oxidative means. The non-oxidative means of the energy input includes a high temperature source, or different types of plasma, such as, thermal, non-thermal, microwave, corona discharge, glow discharge, dielectric barrier discharge, or radiation sources, such as, electron beam, gamma, ultraviolet (UV). The oxidative means of the energy input includes oxygen, air, ozone, nitrous oxide (NO | 03-05-2009 |
