20090313605TOOL FOR PREDICTING FAULT-PRONE SOFTWARE FILES - A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for predicting the fault-proneness of code units (files, modules, packages, and the like) of large-scale, long-lived software systems. The method collects information about the code units and the development process from previous releases, and formats this information for input to an analysis stage. The tool then performs a statistical regression analysis on the collected data, and formulates a model to predict fault counts for code units of the current and future releases. Finally, the method computes an expected fault count for each code unit in the current release by applying the formulated model to data from the current release. The expected fault counts are used to rank the release units in descending order of fault-proneness so that debugging efforts and resources can be optimized.12-17-2009
20100131996SYSTEM AND METHOD TO DISTRIBUTE VIDEO-ON-DEMAND CONTENT - Method, system and computer-readable medium to distribute VOD content are disclosed. A method of displaying video content includes accessing an association table for video-on-demand (VOD) content. The association table includes a first segment entry associated with a first video segment of a first length and a second segment entry associated with a second video segment of a second length that is longer than the first length. The first segment entry includes a first multicast group ID and the second segment entry includes a second multicast group ID. The method further includes receiving the first video segment via the first multicast group ID, displaying the received first video segment, and receiving the second video segment via the second multicast group ID within a period of time of displaying the first video segment.05-27-2010

20100125626Systems and Methods for Directing Content Requests to Servers - A method of delivering content to a client includes receiving a request for the content from the client at a first server, determining the size of the content, and determining an optimal server to provide the content. The method further includes redirecting the client to the optimal server when the size of the content is above a threshold.05-20-2010
20110069705Multicast-Unicast Protocol Converter - A protocol converter includes a processor configured to receive a request for content from a client system. The processor is further configured to determine if the protocol converter is currently receiving the content through the multicast session, and join the multicast session if the protocol converter is not currently receiving the content. Additionally, the processor is configured to receive the content as an end point of the multicast session, format the content for communication to the client system, and provide content to the client system in a communication separate from the multicast session. Receiving the content as an end point of the multicast session can include terminating the application layer protocol used by the multicast session. Additionally, formatting the content can include re-encapsulating the content as hypertext transport protocol (HTTP) with an appropriate content-type.03-24-2011
20110106961Synchronization of Clients to Maximize Multicast Opportunities - A content delivery system includes a unicast content delivery module, a multicast content delivery module, and a content monitor module. The unicast content delivery module is configured to provide content using a unicast protocol, and the multicast content delivery module is configured to provide the content using a multicast protocol. The content monitor module is configured to receive requests from a plurality of clients for the content, count the requests to determine if the number of requests exceeds a threshold, and instruct the plurality of clients to receive the content from the multicast content delivery module when the number of requests exceeds the threshold.05-05-2011

20100318388Native American Indian Compliant Financial Services Methodology - A financial services method formulated in accordance with the principles of the current invention supports the implementation of certain Native American Indian compliant financial instruments that are beneficial for trading and possess like qualities to those traded on traditional markets. A financial association is created under which the parties in the system take on several financial responsibilities in high-quality financial offerings. The financial services system will provide an institutional mechanism for the worldwide implementation of Native American Indian guiding principles and policies as policed by a centralized Native American Indian Compliance Office, a Native American Indian auditing and supervising organization. Such a Native American Indian compliant financial structure would prohibit the imposition of foreign levies on activities on Native American Indian sovereign lands, thus enabling the successful implementation of an operational mechanism possessing a pecuniary effect similar to traditional fiscal products that would regularly be precluded under Native American Indian financial guiding principles. Such a method will spawn the maturity of a centralized worldwide Native American Indian financial marketplace purposefully formulated with respect to the monetary services requirements of the participating financial services organizations in bringing financial opportunities to the Native American Indian investment economy for placement.12-16-2010
