| 20090178462 | Method for creating a Low Fluid Pressure Differential Electrical Generating System - This invention involves a method of creating a hydroelectric turbine system that is capable of producing electricity while sustaining a majority of the fluid flow or hydraulic pressure within the pipe line or pipe network driving the system. The system's objective is to shave as little pressure as possible from an enclosed pipe system that requires pressure to operate and function properly. More particularly, this invention relates to a hydroelectric turbine generator system wherein the system is specially designed and configured with an unique impeller and fluted turbine housing that enable a generator device to produce a particular amount of electric current and voltage, while yet minimizing flow restriction and pressure loss to the fluid pressure driving the system. Application of this technology includes all fluid flow or fluid transfer systems that require sustained pressure to move fluids like water or other materials from one location or point to another, through pipes, pipe systems or networks, regardless of distance or pipe size diameters. This invention, for example will be ideally suited for powering electronic control or monitoring systems in landscapes, parks, roadway easements, golf courses or public water transfer systems or other remote sites that may require power. Utilization of this invention provides an ecological and reliable energy production source, usually on a small scale, in remote locations where incorporating other forms of power supply may be less practical, impractical or impossible. | 07-16-2009 |

| 20100283915 | Frequency Redirection for Inband Signaling - A channel remapping pre-notification (RPN) message is transmitted in each of multiple frequencies prior to movement of data associated with one or more virtual channels to one or more different frequencies. The RPN message is also sent prior to transmission of a Virtual Channel Table (VCT) reflecting channel movement. If a receiving device is unable to find data associated with a selected channel subsequent to the channel movement, the stored RPN information can be used to identify a new frequency for that selected channel. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100306401 | Switched Multicast Video Streaming - A system and method for improving media delivery and display. By utilizing a memory buffer in a DVR or similar device, and broadcasting linear content at a rate other than 1×, services like video on demand or regular broadcasters can be more versatile. For example viewers can start over without launching a separate VOD session. If part of the linear content requested is not in the buffer, a switched multicast stream can be sent to with the proper section of content. Other receivers on the network may also receive the stream and buffer the content if the content is related to what a viewer is viewing. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20110116513 | Communication Terminal With Multiple Virtual Network Interfaces - A communication terminal communicates protocol data units across a first virtual interface and a shared interface. The first virtual interface corresponds to an upper layer protocol and a first logical network. The shared interface corresponds to a lower layer protocol. The terminal also communicates protocol data units across a second virtual interface and the shared interface, with the second virtual interface corresponding to the upper layer protocol and a second logical network. The first logical network can be a wide area network that includes devices within a premises and devices outside a premises, and the second logical network may be a local area network that only includes devices within the premises. | 05-19-2011 |

At the customer end, the compensation value data may be used during decompression to provide higher quality content to the customer than would otherwise be experienced without access to the compensation values. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110177800 | Text Alternative to Established Voice Call Session - Methods and systems are described wherein an initiating device sends a communication requesting a voice call session with a recipient device. In response, the initiating device receives a communication indicating that the initiating device can provide a text message instead of establishing the voice call session. In some cases, the communication may refuse the request voice call session, while in other cases the communication may simply indicate that the recipient device supports text messaging as an alternative to voice mail. As a result of the received communication, the initiating device outputs a text input prompt. After receiving text input in response to the prompt, the initiating device sends a text message containing the received text input. | 07-21-2011 |

Such video content may be video content associated with a video game. A determination may be made as to whether a simulated impairment to the video content is required. Upon determining that a simulated impairment is required, impaired video content may be outputted to the user via the at least one output device. The at least one output device may include an output device for the left eye of the user and an output device for the right eye of the user. The impaired video content then may outputted to the output device for the left eye while the video content, without simulated impairment, may be outputted to the output device of the right eye. | 09-08-2011 |

| 20110096974 | METHOD FOR FAT FRACTION QUANTIFICATION IN MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING - A method for determining a concentration of fat within a region of a subject includes acquiring at least three gradient echo images from at least two different flip angles. The first and third images occur at an in-phase time when resonance signals of fat and water are in-phase with one another. The second images occur at an opposed-phase time when the resonance signals of fat and water are 180° out of phase with one another. T2* and T1 relaxation time maps are approximated based on the acquired images. Fat and water signals are distinguished based on observed relative signal phase. The amplitude of the fat and water signals are modulated using the T2* and T1 relaxation time maps. A ratio between fat and water signals for one or more voxels of the images is calculated based on the amplitude modulated fat and water signal images. | 04-28-2011 |
