| 20090025052 | Method and Apparatus for Controlling the Bandwidth of SDV Programming Supplied to an Edge Device in a n SDV System - A switched digital video (SDV) system is provided that includes an SDV manager for coordinating SDV sessions requested by subscriber terminals associated with a service group. An input is provided for receiving content to be broadcast during the SDV sessions. At least one edge device is provided for receiving transport streams that include SDV programming provided by the input and for transmitting each transport stream over an access network to at least one of the subscriber terminals on one of a plurality of SDV channels. The SDV manager is configured to (i) monitor bandwidth used by the edge device to provide the SDV programming to the service group and (ii) cause a bit rate of at least one SDV program supplied to the edge device to be adjusted based on the monitored bandwidth usage. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090031341 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING THE NUMBER OF CONTROL MESSAGES TRANSMITTED BY A SET TOP TERMINAL IN AN SDV SYSTEM - A method is provided by which a subscriber accesses an SDV channel using a set top terminal. The method begins when the set top terminal receives a user request to tune to a first SDV channel. An active services list is also received over an access network. The active services list includes an entry for each currently available SDV program and a time-to-live (TTL) associated therewith. Tuning information is identified for the first SDV channel from its entry in the active services list. The set top terminal tunes to the first SDV channel using the identified tuning information. The channel change information associated with the user request is locally stored in set top terminal for transmission over the access network at a later time. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090077577 | Method and Apparatus for Determining Bandwidth Savings Achieved By Transforming Selected Broadcast Channels to Switched Digital Video Channels in a Content Delivery System Without Transformation of the Selected Channels - A method is provided for acquiring channel viewership information in a content delivery system. The method begins by receiving a plurality of messages over an access network each indicating that a subscriber is switching to a specified broadcast channel. The information obtained from the messages is aggregated to generate channel viewership information identifying a number of subscribers tuned to each broadcast channel over a period of time. The channel viewership information is presented in a selected format. | 03-19-2009 |

| 20090024432 | Business Process Management System and Method - A system and method for managing business processes. In one embodiment, electronic business rules are provided that define actions to execute a business process workflow. A workflow queue is provided with a plurality of actions for performing the business process workflow based on the electronic business rules. Typically, at least a portion of the actions are role-based. A user may navigate and select an outstanding action from the workflow queue based on a role associated with the user. A real-time status for each action in the workflow queue can be provided upon request. | 01-22-2009 |

| 20090063063 | Preventive Maintenance Tapping and Duty Cycle Monitor for Voltage Regulator - The life of load tap changer contacts is monitored by detecting an arcing event; identifying arcing surfaces involved in the arcing event; calculating a per-unit loss of life for the identified arcing surfaces as a result of the arcing event; updating estimates of cumulative erosion for the arcing surfaces; comparing the updated estimates of cumulative erosion to a first threshold value; and signaling for action when at least one of the updated estimates of cumulative erosion exceeds the first threshold value. | 03-05-2009 |

| 20100068187 | TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS FOR DIFFERENTIATION OF ADULT HUMAN OLFACTORY PROGENITOR CELLS - A method of transplantation that includes lineage priming human progenitor cells, to form lineage primed cells and transplanting the lineage primed cells into a patient. The lineage primed cells are selected from the group consisting of oligodendrocytic lineage primed cells, dopaminergic lineage primed cells, and motoneuronal lineage primed cells, and lineage priming has an efficiency of at least 1%. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20110014695 | METHODS FOR OBTAINING ADULT HUMAN OLFACTORY PROGENITOR CELLS - An isolated human olfactory stem cell can be prepared by culturing human tissue from olfactory neuroepithelium to form neurospheres. | 01-20-2011 |

| 20110140840 | User personalization with bezel-displayed identification - An identity of a person proximate to a display device is determined by an identity profile controller. The identity profile controller determines whether a configured viewing profile exists for the person. Upon determining that the configured viewing profile exists for the person, the identity profile controller instructs a bezel display controller to display a profile identifier associated with the configured viewing profile via a two-dimensional light-emitting diode (LED) array located within a bezel of the display device outside of the display area of the display. The identity profile controller automatically adjusts display device settings for the display device based upon the configured viewing profile. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20110141358 | Illuminated bezel information display - A configured display mode is determined for a two-dimensional light-emitting diode (LED) array located within a bezel of the display device outside of the display area of the display. Information associated with the configured display mode is retrieved for the two-dimensional LED array. The information associated with the configured display mode is displayed via the two-dimensional LED array. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract. | 06-16-2011 |
