| 20100304915 | Cam-based infinitely variable transmission - A cam based infinitely variable transmission incorporation a ratcheting drive mechanism with one set of planetary gears and a cam with two followers mounted on a carrier with said gears and adapted to in infinitely variable in output but maintain a uniform output for a given uniform input. The followers are can be shifted in relation to the three dimensional cam by a shifter and clutches are used to handle the relative motion of the gears and follower shafts. | 12-02-2010 |

| 20110004682 | DETERMINING PROJECTION WEIGHTS BASED ON A CENSUS DATA - Projection weights may be configured to project usage of a first set of resources by users of a first group of clients systems to usage of the first set of resources by users in a larger group of users. Users of the first group of client systems may be a sample of a larger group of users that access resources on the network using client systems. The projection weights may be determined based on a first set of usage data and a second set of usage data. The first set of usage data may be determined based on information received from monitoring applications installed on a first group of client systems. The second set of usage data may be determined based on information received from a second group of client systems sent as a result of beacon instructions included with a second set of resources accessed by the second group of client systems. | 01-06-2011 |

| 20090089649 | Programmable compute unit with internal register and bit FIFO for executing Viterbi code - A programmable compute unit with an internal register with a bit FIFO for executing Viterbi code is configured to accumulate in the forward path the best-path to each state in an internal register and store the survivor trace back information bit for each state in each stage in a bit FIFO; and in the trace back, selecting the optimal best-path through the Viterbi trellis by tracing through the bit trace back information survivor bits beginning with the survivor bit of the last stage path; and generating in response to the Viterbi constrain length and a current bit FIFO address, the next bit FIFO address and decoded output bit for the next previous stage. | 04-02-2009 |

| 20080215581 | CONTENT/METADATA SELECTION AND PROPAGATION SERVICE TO PROPAGATE CONTENT/METADATA TO CLIENT DEVICES - In various embodiments, one or more servers is (collectively) endowed with a core data collection and management service, and a core content/metadata selection and propagation service, to receive from client devices automatically collected user activity associated data and in response, to select and propagate content/metadata to the client device, in a more efficient, flexible and effective manner (with high relevancy). | 09-04-2008 |
| 20090074235 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING BOOKMARK VIDEO FINGERPRINTS - Systems and methods for replacing original media bookmarks of at least a portion of a digital media file with replacement bookmarks is described. A media fingerprint engine detects the location of the original fingerprints associated with the portion of the digital media file and a region analysis algorithm characterizes regions of media file spanning the location of the original bookmarks by data class types. The replacement bookmarks are associated with the data class types and are overwritten or otherwise are substituted for the original bookmarks. The replacement bookmarks then are subjected to a fingerprint matching algorithm that incorporates media timeline and media related metadata. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090077471 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING A WEBSITE CONTAINING VIDEO PLAYLISTS AS INPUT TO A DOWNLOAD MANAGER - Systems and methods for enabling the download of a set of media files with a specific order and specific contents and, more particularly, to enabling a download manager to automatically receive the information it requires to retrieve those elements required to replicate a streaming edit through local playback after the downloads complete. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090097815 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISTRIBUTED AND PARALLEL VIDEO EDITING, TAGGING, AND INDEXING - A system and method for having a media engine, client, workflow engine and server. The media engine takes digital or analog real-time video or video-on-demand as an input. Clients connect to the media engine, workflow engine and server. Depending on the client's capabilities, including software features, training and location, the workflow engine will drive required units of work to the client asking them to be fulfilled. This system enables efficient offline, real-time or faster than real-time editing, tagging and indexing of media by one or more clients at the same time. Unlimited numbers of users, tags and indexing functions to take place in parallel on a single video feed at the same time and managed through a rule based workflow engine. | 04-16-2009 |

| 20110055328 | SELECTIVE ACCESS OF MULTI-RATE DATA FROM A SERVER AND/OR PEER - Aspects of the disclosed subject matter are directed to facilitating peer-to-peer data exchange in a common domain. In accordance with one embodiment, a method is provided for obtaining content from one or more peers that are connected to the domain. The method includes registering a peer with a super-peer when a connection to the domain is established. Then, the connecting peer obtains data that describes various network conditions and identifies chunks of content available from other peers. In downloading content from other peers, heuristics are applied to select between available chunks that are potentially encoded at different bitrates. The heuristics account for the network conditions between peers and balance the potential need to quickly access content with the desire to obtain high quality content. | 03-03-2011 |

| 20090133579 | Method and Apparatus for Degassing Fluid in Enclosed Containers - Disclosed is a compressed air powered vacuum mechanism and method for enabling a user to lower atmospheric pressure in enclosed containers and thereby remove carbon dioxide and other entrained gasses from fluids, in this instance wine, in multiple enclosed containers. In a short time, the resulting wine will improve in taste and aroma and clarity, an improvement normally associated with wine that has been naturally aged for many months. A compressed air driven vacuum generator reduces the atmospheric pressure above the wine. When the atmospheric pressure is low enough the entrained gasses will quickly boil off the enclosed wine at room temperatures, disassociating from the fluid, without harming the wine. There are instances in the processing of wine and in keeping containers of food and drink fresh, where following the removing of gasses from the enclosed containers that the vacuum must be retained. This is optionally accomplished with a vacuum retaining on/off mechanism. | 05-28-2009 |
