Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090161546Methods and systems for alleviating network congestion - Methods and systems for detecting and predicting congestion patterns from network feedback are described. In the inventive embodiments, network feedback in the form of binary feedback messages is received. The network feedback can comprise any suitable feedback messages and, in the illustrated and described embodiments comprise packet loss events or ECN marks, to name just a few. The inventive embodiment uses the network feedback to predict when congestion is likely to occur in the future. Based on these predictions, the behavior of end users within the system can be modified so that congestion is reduced. Specifically, the data packets that are typically transmitted by the end users can be delayed until such a time when the predicted congestion is mitigated. Thus, the inventive systems and methods take a predictive, proactive approach to addressing network congestion issues, rather than a reactive approach.06-25-2009

20090184837METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PROVIDING AUDITORY OR VISUAL EFFECTS - The present invention relates to a method and device for providing auditory or visual effects by means of a plurality of audio or light controlling devices (07-23-2009
20090230895METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MAKING LIGHTING MODULES PART OF A DISPLAY DEVICE, WHICH LIGHTING MODULES HAVE BEEN BROUGHT RANDOMLY TOGETHER - The present invention relates to a method and device for communicating data to devices which have been brought randomly together, e.g. user equipment provided to a plurality of persons grouped within a geographical area, e.g. an audience or spectators, for example as used in concerts or sports events, in particular for example such that the user equipment effectively forms part of a light emitting display device.09-17-2009
20100002286Method to provide a display panel - A method to provide a display panel according to the present invention comprises the step of providing at least one pixel element for producing or controlling light wherein the pixel element has a light emitting or reflecting surface and is mounted on a support. The method furthermore comprises covering the light emitting or reflecting surfaces of the at least one light emitting or reflecting element and at least a part of the support with substantially transparent material, thereby providing the optical surface of the display panel, which optical surface comprises at least one pixel element zone and at least one support zone. Furthermore, the method comprises modifying the roughness of the substantially transparent material of the optical surface along the support zone of the optical surface and/or along the pixel element zone of the optical surface, for rendering the substantially transparent material of the optical surface along the support zone of the optical surface being more rough than along the pixel element zone of the optical surface01-07-2010
20100099303Cable Connector - The disclosure herein describes embodiments of a cable connector that can be easily attached at a variety of points along the length of a cable as desired by a user for a particular application. The cable connector can easily be secured to the cable by snapping or otherwise securing the base and cover of the connector around the cable. The cable connector can include a device interface for coupling an electronic device to the cable connector. The cable connector can supply a power and control signal to the coupled device via terminals adapted to pierce the insulation on the cable and contact the conductors inside. The terminals of the cable connector can sever at least one of the conductors of the cable, disrupting the flow of current through the conductor. The device interface can bridge the severed ends of the conductor to enable unabated current flow when a device is not coupled thereto or redirect the current through an electronic device coupled to the interface. The cable connector enables easily connecting an electronic device in series between the severed ends of a conductor and providing current flow between the ends when the device is disconnect.04-22-2010
