20080209067 | System And Method For Highly-Scalable Real-Time And Time-Based Data Delivery Using Server Clusters - The present invention provides loosely-coupled cluster systems comprising a plurality of servers based on storage attached to the plurality of servers. Videos, or other assets, are automatically replicated within the server system to increase the number of concurrent play requests serviceable. The server systems can detect spikes in demand that may exceed the guaranteed number of concurrent play requests serviceable and dynamically transfer the high-in-demand or ‘hot’ asset to servers in the cluster that do not have the video. Alternatively, instead of transferring the entire asset, varying length prefixes of the asset may be transferred depending on the availability of resources. The remainder of the asset is transferred in some embodiments on demand with sufficient buffering or other storage to guarantee playback to the user or subscriber according to the required quality of service (QOS). | 08-28-2008 |

20110137558 | ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS FOR LOCATING OBJECTS - A database for a set of orientation-matched road (OMR) sections is searched according to a calculated orientation of an object and orientations of road sections stored in the database. The OMR sections are searched for a position-matched road (PMR) set according to a calculated position of the object and positions of the OMR sections. The PMR set includes one or more PMR sections. The object is located using the PMR set. | 06-09-2011 |
20140125138 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR WIRELESSLY RECEIVING POWER - Method and apparatus for a receiving device to wirelessly receive electric power from a transmitting device. A power capacity is configured at the receiving device, based on a default power capacity known by both the receiving device and the transmitting device. A first value of a dependent parameter is read. The dependent parameter is associated with the electric power and varies in accordance with an independent parameter adjustable by the transmitting device. A second value of the dependent parameter is then read. A maximum power capacity of the transmitting device is identified based on at least the first and second values and a predetermined threshold. The electric power is then received from the transmitting device. | 05-08-2014 |
20140125139 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION - Method and apparatus for wireless power transmission. A first target level of a parameter associated with the electric power is sent to the transmitting device. The electric power is then received from the transmitting device. When the parameter of the received electric power reaches the first target level, a second target level of the parameter is sent to the transmitting device. The second target level of the parameter is determined based on a magnitude of a load coupled to the receiving device. | 05-08-2014 |
