20120206710 | MEASURING INSTRUMENT AND METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF THE PROPERTIES OF AN ITEM AND ITS SURFACE - A measurement device for the determination of the characteristics of the object's surface by means of the optical radiation, wherein a measurement device comprises an optical radiation source and a detector to receive the radiation reflected from the surface being measured. In addition, a measurement device comprises an emitted optical radiation processing unit, which is adjusted to split optical radiation emitted by an optical source into separate wavelengths and to direct said separate wavelengths to the object being measured in a direction, that differs from the normal of the surface being measured so, that at least the shortest and the longest wavelengths of said wavelengths are focused on different halves and different heights of the measured object's surface, in the direction of the normal of the surface being measured. In addition, a measurement device comprises a reflected optical radiation processing unit, which is adjusted to receive an optical radiation reflected from the measured object at least in the direction of a specular reflection, which differs from the normal of the surface being measured, and to direct received optical radiation to said detector. Still further, the measurement device is adjusted to analyze an electric signal produced by the detector and proportional to the intensity of the radiation focused thereto, and to further determine a surface gloss (gloss degree) and/or thickness characteristic property of the measured object, based on the intensity of its wavelength, the focus point of which was located on the measured surface, and which wavelength was the strongest reflected from that point to the detector in the specular geometry. | 08-16-2012 |

20120182994 | ADDRESS COMPATIBILITY IN A NETWORK DEVICE RELOAD - In one embodiment, a network device maintains address compatibility in a reload. The reload results from a reconnect event such as a reboot or a software upgrade. Before the reload, the network device establishes communication using a first address prefix. Because of the reload, the first address prefix is cleared from the network device. The service provider may provide a second address prefix. Rather than advertise the second address prefix, the network device waits for traffic from the hosts. If the hosts continue to use the first address prefix, the network device requests the first address prefix be re-assigned by the service provider. If the service provider does not re-assign the first address prefix, the network device may advertise the first address prefix in a router advertisement including a relatively short preferred lifetime. The short preferred lifetime prevents the use of the old address prefix. | 07-19-2012 |

The method further comprises providing the primary stream, the separate redundant stream, and a common clock reference to a decoder. | 02-05-2009 |
20090034633 | SIMULTANEOUS PROCESSING OF MEDIA AND REDUNDANCY STREAMS FOR MITIGATING IMPAIRMENTS - In one embodiment, a method comprises receiving a primary stream of encoded frames and a separate stream of redundant frames. The method further comprises decoding and reconstructing in parallel the frames in the primary stream and the separate stream of redundant frames, on a real-time basis, in accordance with a specified common clock reference. The method further comprises, upon determining that a frame in the primary stream exhibits an error or impairment, determining a decoded redundant frame in the separate stream that corresponds to the impaired frame, and substituting at least a portion of the information in the decoded redundant frame for a corresponding decoded version of the impaired frame. | 02-05-2009 |
20100131980 | RECEIVER FOR ACCELERATING CHANNEL CHANGE TIME - In one embodiment, a receiver for an accelerated channel change is provided. The receiver receives a first version of a video stream for a first channel and causes display of video for the first version of the video stream for the channel. A second version of a video stream is received upon a channel change to a second channel, the second version including non-discardable pictures from the first version of the video stream. The receiver displays video for the second version of the video stream for the second channel. When a transition point is reached in the first version of the video stream for the second channel, a first version of a video stream for the second channel can be displayed. | 05-27-2010 |
20100132007 | ACCELERATING CHANNEL CHANGE TIME WITH EXTERNAL PICTURE PROPERTY MARKINGS - In one embodiment, a method for accelerating channel change time is provided. The method comprises determining when a channel change occurs. A video stream of pictures is then determined. For example, the video stream may be for a channel that is tuned to by a user. Picture discardability information transmitted with the video stream of pictures is determined. For example, the picture discardability information may be transmitted in a data field outside of the video stream. The method then determines which pictures in the video stream are considered nondiscardable pictures and which ones are discardable pictures based on the picture discardability information transmitted with the video stream of pictures. A non-discardable picture stream may then be determined and transmitted to a video processing device. By sending the non-discardable picture stream, a faster channel change time may be provided because it is expected that the non-discardable pictures may be pictures that can be used to display a picture faster than if the regular video stream was transmitted. | 05-27-2010 |
20140157311 | Faster Access to Television Channels - In one embodiment, a receiver for an accelerated channel change is provided. The receiver receives a first version of a video stream for a first channel and causes display of video for the first version of the video stream for the channel. A second version of a video stream is received upon a channel change to a second channel, the second version including non-discardable pictures from the first version of the video stream. The receiver displays video for the second version of the video stream for the second channel. When a transition point is reached in the first version of the video stream for the second channel, a first version of a video stream for the second channel can be displayed. | 06-05-2014 |
