| 20080198045 | Transmission of a Digital Message Interspersed Throughout a Compressed Information Signal - A method is disclosed that enables the transmission of a digital message along with a corresponding media information signal, such as audio or video. A telecommunications device that is processing the information signal from its user, such as a speech signal, encodes the information signal by using a model-based compression coder. One such device is a telecommunications endpoint. Then, based on an evaluation of the perceptual significance of each encoded bit, or on some other meaningful characteristic of the signal, the endpoint's processor: (i) determines which encoded bits can be overwritten; and (ii) intersperses the digital message bits throughout the encoded signal in place of the overwritten bits. The endpoint then transmits those digital message bits as part of the encoded information signal. In this way, no additional bits are appended to the packet to be transmitted, thereby addressing the issue of compatibility with existing protocols and firewalls. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20080199009 | Signal Watermarking in the Presence of Encryption - A method is disclosed that enables the transmission of a digital message along with a corresponding information signal, such as audio or video. The supplemental information contained in digital messages can be used for a variety of purposes, such as enabling or enhancing packet authentication. In particular, a telecommunications device that is processing an information signal from its user, such as a speech signal, encrypts the information signal by performing a bitwise exclusive-or of an encryption key stream with the information signal stream. The device, such as a telecommunications endpoint, then intersperses the bits of the digital message throughout the encrypted signal in place of those bits overwritten, in a process referred to as “watermarking.” The endpoint then transmits the interspersed digital message bits as part of a composite signal that also comprises the encrypted information bits. No additional bits are appended to the packet to be transmitted, thereby addressing compatibility issues. | 08-21-2008 |

| 20110196803 | TECHNIQUES FOR MAPPING COURSES TO PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS - An evaluation of an external course may be based on course-to-requirement mappings that have been previously established for the target institution. As a result of the evaluation, the external course may be mapped to a particular program requirement for a particular student, which allows the external course to fulfill the particular program requirement at the institution for the particular student. The course evaluation may be automatic or may be performed by a human evaluator. Course-to-requirement mappings may be globally-established, and applicable to all students and applicants of the target institution, or may be applicant-specific, and only applicable to the student for which the mapping was established. Information about both globally-established and applicant-specific course-to-requirement mappings that have been previously established for the institution may be used to evaluate an external course for a particular student. | 08-11-2011 |

| 20100320210 | FOOD CONTAINER HAVING IMPROVED VENTILATION - A plastic food container for crisp or crunchy foods includes a lid adapted for sealing arrangement with a base. Exhaust vents are selectively disposed on the top surface of the container, such that when the container is closed, rising vapors in the container easily flow out of the container. The convection movement of rising hot vapors causes the induction of ambient air into the container through a first air intake port and a counterpart air intake port disposed between the two engaged rims. The first intake port and its counterpart allow inducted air to enter directly and horizontally into the container. One or more channels are formed in the floor of the base and are aligned with a line defined by the first intake port and its counterpart to allow for the cross flow of drier inducted air underneath the container's food contents. | 12-23-2010 |

| 20120011538 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRIVACY-PRESERVING ADVERTISEMENT SELECTION - Methods and systems to provide targeted advertising in a subscription television setting, wherein the households that receive the targeted advertisement may retain anonymity. This may be achieved by marrying an anonymization protocol and infrastructure with a mechanism for STB selection and reporting. This anonymizes the set of households that are selected to play an ad, by ensuring that when an STB meets defined criteria and sends a ‘criteria met’ message (during the selection process) or ‘ad shown’ message (during a validation or counting process) to a head end, an STB or household identifier is not revealed, thus anonymizing the household information from the head end. In addition, this allows the head end to control the ad campaign process by advertising only to those households that meet specified criteria, and to count the number of actual instances in which an ad was displayed. The head end is able to count the number of times an ad was displayed, without knowing which particular household(s) viewed the ad. | 01-12-2012 |
