Denver CO USAANM Hu; WeiAACI EnglewoodAAST COAACO USAAGP Hu; Wei Englewood CO US - An apparatus and method for enabling a viewer to watch television in the usual manner, while providing the viewer with an opportunity to indicate interest in products contextually associated with, but not necessarily displayed, in the television programs viewed, are described. Viewer interest might be indicated, for example, by launching a widget from an icon located on the TV video receiver using a handheld remote controller in communication with a set-top box during the program. The program being viewed may then be identified, for example, by the selected channel, the name of the program, the episode, and the time of the selection, or a combination of these indicators. The selections are transmitted by the set-top box to a remote search server, which returns information to the viewer on a portion of the TV video receiver concerning available products contextually related to the program being viewed at the time the widget was launched by the viewer, as well as purchase information. A selected product may as well be purchased through the set-top box in communication with an e-commerce server. Use of a mobile telephone in combination with a TV set-top box for product purchasing is also described.01-17-2013

20120198506MULTICAST ADAPTIVE STREAM SWITCHING FOR DELIVERY OF OVER THE TOP VIDEO CONTENT - Multicast adaptive stream switching for delivery of video content over an IP-based packet network is provided. A network device obtains multiple synchronized multicast streams of the same video content, where each of the multiple synchronized multicast streams includes a different bit-rate encoding. The network device receives, from a user device, a request to join a multicast group for one of the multiple synchronized multicast streams and provides, to the user device, the one of the multiple synchronized multicast streams corresponding to the requested multicast group. The user device detects a congestion level associated with the current multicast stream. The network device receives, from the user device, a request to join a different multicast group for a different one of the multiple synchronized multicast streams and provides, to the user device, the different one of the multiple synchronized multicast streams corresponding to the requested different multicast group.08-02-2012

20110202145AUTOMATIC DEVICE PARAMETER BINDING METHOD AND SYSTEM - The present invention provides techniques for automatically binding device parameters to an input and output interface. Doing so enables dynamic parameters to be available to the core firmware engine. More specifically, there is no input and output data in the configuration software domain required for mapping the parameters. Rather, the configuration software may directly access the device parameters during the logic execution. This is achieved in a library by representing the parameter repository and the EPATH pointing to each parameter from the configuration software domain.08-18-2011

20080210273BATCH PHOTORESIST DRY STRIP AND ASH SYSTEM AND PROCESS - Photoresist stripping is provided that employs batch processing to maximize throughput and an upstream plasma activation source using vapor or gas processing to efficiently create reactive species and minimize chemical consumption. An upstream plasma activation source efficiently creates reactive species remote from the photoresist on the substrate surfaces. Either a remote plasma generator upstream of the processing chamber or an integrated plasma unit within the processing chamber upstream of the processing volume may be used. Plasma processing gas is introduced from a side of a stack of wafers and flows across the wafers. Processing gas may be forced across the surfaces of the wafers in the column to an exhaust on the opposite side of the column, and the column may be rotated. An upstream plasma activation source enables a strip process to occur at low temperatures, for example below 600 degrees C., which are particularly advantageous in BEOL process flow. Integrated processes that combine dry and wet-like sequential processes are also provided. Oxidizing, reducing or fluorine-containing plasma can be employed. Wet stripping, using, for example, wafer vapor or ozone or both may be included, simultaneously or sequentially.09-04-2008
