20150321203 | Method for Separating a Sample into Density Specific Fractions - The centrifugation vessel includes an outer wall containing an interior space. A dam defines a barrier which divides the interior space into at least two regions including a catch basin defining a higher gee region and a reservoir defining a lower gee region. These regions are joined together over the dam. The dam includes a face which is preferably tapered to enable optimization of speed of separation of a sample placed within the vessel. The vessel is usable in a biological sample processing method by having the higher gee region of the vessel configured to have an elongate form and the volume optimized for collection of a higher density fraction of the sample. Supply and withdrawal tubes extend into the regions for reliable extraction and separate collection of differing density fractions after separation by centrifugation. | 11-12-2015 |

20130268965 | METHOD FOR ADVERTISING DECISION RESOLUTION ACCELERATION BASED ON LOOKAHEAD OPPORTUNITY TRIGGERING - A server receives a source signal stream having a channel identifier and an indication that an advertisement placement opportunity is located in the signal stream a time period prior to an advertisement signal point. The server transmits the channel identifier to a session manager. The server receives from the session manager a list of sessions corresponding to a number of recipients currently viewing a channel corresponding to the channel identifier. The server transmits to an ad decision service an ad call for each session in the list. The server receives from the ad decision service a plurality of advertisements targeted to the list. The server stores the plurality of advertisements in at least one cache prior to expiration of the time period, where the advertisement signal point is detected by the programmed computer. | 10-10-2013 |
20130276025 | DATA BOUNDARY MANAGER FOR ADDRESSABLE ADVERTISING - A computer implemented method and system for managing audience data for advertisement placements is disclosed. A server receives a source signal stream comprising metadata and an advertisement space. The server extracts from the metadata a channel identifier, a private client identifier, and information about an intended audience of interest to advertisers. The server identifies a placement opportunity including an owner of the advertisement space based on the channel identifier. The server purges at least some of the extracted information about the intended audience when the owner of the advertisement space is identified as a national network. The server identifies an amount of information about the intended audience to purge and subsequently to fetch for the national network based on a business arrangement between the national network and a service provider, which the server enforces and enables. | 10-17-2013 |
20130276026 | DATA BOUNDARY MANAGER FOR ADDRESSABLE ADVERTISING - A server receives a source signal stream comprising metadata and an advertisement space. The server extracts from the metadata a channel identifier, a private client identifier, and personal identifiable information about an intended audience of interest to advertisers. The server identifies at least one anonymous statistic of a national market and a placement opportunity including an owner of the advertisement space, the at least one anonymous statistic of a national market based in part on the channel identifier and the personal identifiable information. The server purges the personal identifiable information about the intended audience when the owner of the advertisement space is identified as a national network. The server targets an advertisement decision to the intended audience based on the at least one anonymous statistic of a national market. | 10-17-2013 |
20130291014 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR UNIFORMLY MARKING AND IDENTIFYING PLACEMENT OPPORTUNITY LOCATIONS FOR FACILITATING ACCELERATED DECISION RESOLUTION - A computer implemented method and system of marking signal streams for advertisement placement is disclosed. A server receives at least one source signal stream having a channel identifier. The server identifies an advertisement signal point in the at least one source signal stream. The server determines a temporal starting location of the advertisement signal point. The server generates a unique signal ID based on the temporal starting location of the advertisement signal point and the channel identifier. The server inserts the unique signal ID into metadata of the at least one source signal stream. The unique signal ID may be a universal unique identifier (UUID). | 10-31-2013 |
20140331247 | SERVER SIDE ADAPTIVE BIT RATE REPORTING - A method and system for reporting a percentage of an advertisement played by a smart appliance is disclosed. The server receives data from a smart appliance. The server detects a marker in the data corresponding to a segment of an advertisement of a session played by the smart appliance. The server maps the marker to a percentage played of the advertisement in the session by the smart appliance. The server reports the percentage played of the advertisement in the session by the smart appliance to at least one tracking element. | 11-06-2014 |
20140380357 | SERVER SIDE ADAPTIVE BIT RATE REPORTING - A server receives metadata associated with an advertisement in a transport signal stream from an encoder, the metadata identifying a specified frame of the transport signal stream corresponding to a point in time of the advertisement. The server instructs an encoder, by a server, to insert a marker into the specified frame of the transport signal stream, the marker identifying the point in time of the advertisement. The server receives data from a smart appliance. The server detects the marker in the data. The server identifies the marker as the specified frame of the transport signal stream played by the smart appliance. The server maps the marker to the identified point in time of the advertisement. | 12-25-2014 |

20090177070 | CATHETER TIP ELECTRODE ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR FABRICATING SAME - An electrode assembly for a sensor catheter tip includes a first electrode and a second electrode each having a central axis. The two electrodes are axially aligned and spaced apart along the axis. Each of the first and second electrodes comprises a contact aperture spaced from the center axis, and a contact. element positioned within each of the contact apertures. The center axis of each of the first and second electrodes is substantially aligned, and the contact elements corresponding to each of the first and second electrodes are offset, thereby providing staggered contact points for each respective electrode. | 07-09-2009 |

20110219870 | Unitary Drive System for Water Meter - A metering apparatus for measuring the flow of water or other fluid through a conduit. The meter comprises a measuring chamber, in which is disposed a nutating ball and disc. A unitary biaxial member, comprising a drive shaft and a spindle having a longitudinal axis offset from that of the drive shaft, couples the ball and disc to a rotating magnet. The unitary biaxial member both controls the offset of the ball and disc from horizontal, such that it nutates in response to water flow through the meter, and translates this nutation to rotation of the magnet, allowing for measurement of water volume flowing through the measuring chamber. | 09-15-2011 |
