20100095322System for Interactively Distributing Information Services - An interactive information distribution system includes service provider equipment for generating an information stream that is coupled to an information channel and transmitted to subscriber equipment. The service provider also generates a command signal that is coupled to a command channel and transmitted to the subscriber equipment. The service provider also receives information manipulation requests from the subscriber via a back channel. A communication network supporting the information channel, command channel and back channel is coupled between the service provider equipment and the subscriber equipment.04-15-2010

20100146566Method of Data Management for Efficiently Storing and Retrieving Data to Respond to User Access Requests - A method of data management for efficiently storing and retrieving data in response to user access requests. The method includes receiving a request from at least one client for a title not resident in a storage server, where the title includes a play track having a plurality of chapters. The retrieval from a secondary storage device of play track portions proximate chapter delineation points is initiated, and bandwidth capacity and quality-of-service (QoS) parameters associated with the secondary storage device is determined. In the case of a client request to begin presentation of the title at one of the chapters, streaming of retrieved portions of the play track chapter to the client is initiated, masking latency associated with the secondary storage device is provided, and retrieval of at least unretrieved portions of the play track chapter and subsequent play track portions from the secondary storage device is initiated.06-10-2010

20090071459SYSTEMS, METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR USE IN DISTRIBUTING IRRITANT POWDER - The present embodiments provide apparatuses for use in launching an inhibiting powder. These embodiments comprise a source of impulse pressure that induces a propellant pressure, a barrel cooperated with the source of impulse pressure to receive the propellant pressure, inhibiting powder positioned within an interior of the barrel, a burst diaphragm secured between the source of the impulse pressure and the inhibiting powder, and an actuator that activates the source of impulse pressure to deliver an expanding gas producing an increasing pressure that is applied to the burst diaphragm where the burst diaphragm bursts when the applied pressure exceeding a burst threshold, resulting in a release of the propellant pressure into the barrel to drive the inhibiting powder from the barrel in substantially an aerosol form generating a cloud of inhibiting powder.03-19-2009

20090149849Device and method to treat tissue with electtric current - A method of modifying properties of intrinsic tissue of an organ is provided. The method includes providing an organ, where a first electrode is disposed proximal to the organ first end. The first electrode has a surface area and insulator. A second electrode is disposed opposite the first electrode, where the organ is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The second electrode has surface area and surface insulator. An organ-shaping device is provided that is disposed on the organ between the electrodes, where the organ-shaping device deforms the organ middle section along at least one lateral direction between the electrodes. An electric current is provided between the first second electrodes, where a current density gradient is provided by the electrode surface areas and the deformed organ middle section, and the properties of the intrinsic muscle tissue are modified according to the current density gradient.06-11-2009

20090157796CELL-BASED COMPUTING PLATFORM WHERE SERVICES AND AGENTS INTERFACE WITHIN CELL STRUCTURES TO PERFORM COMPUTING TASKS - System and method for using cells as a type of managed container to control the operation of mobile software agents and the run-time invocation and use of services within distributed computing environments. The cell process initially starts out empty containing nether agents nor services. The cell discovers and loads published services at run-time through a look up into a distributed service registry. After loading the service, the cell then publishes availability of the service for use by agents. If an application using agents or an agent desires to make use of a service published and provided by a cell, the application or agent makes a request to the cell to fetch an agent that will invoke the service. Prior to migrating to its new cell, the agent creates a proxy agent that provides a communication channel between the agent running within the cell and the originating agent system. Service status and results are returned through the proxy channel.06-18-2009
