| 20100329117 | Network Traffic Accelerator - In a packet communication system with large bandwidth delay product (BDP) and employing Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), the reported advertised window size as advertised by a receiver is employed only as an indication of window size and not as a throughput limit so that more data is sent than the amount specified by the advertised window size. Since the receiver can process all incoming TCP packets, the receiving buffer is consistently near empty. Since the TCP's advertised window size is not accepted as the absolute amount of buffer space available at the receiver, the sender is not constrained by the absolute value of the receiver's advertised window size and instead can transmit more data than the absolute value of the advertised window, enabling the system to increase the actual window size without modifying the link ends. This improved large-BDP-capable protocol is denoted TCP-SC. | 12-30-2010 |

| 20080235401 | Method of storing media data delivered through a network - There are various methods to stream media data, particularly video data, through a network for playing on a client workstation, for example, WMV™, Real™ Video, and so on. If multiple formats are involved, it is difficult to store the media data, and streaming the stored data whenever required. Further, existing devices are not able to record digital AV content from IP network, DVB, or AV encoder. The current invention provides a method of storing media data delivered to a client, for example via the internet. The media data can be encoded more than one format. The format of the media data is first identified when the media data is received by the client, and then analyzed to extract unit attributes from the media data. The unit attributes are stored in a media attribute file. The media data is then stored to a media storage file according to the sequence of the media data sent to the client. The media data stored by the methods of this invention can then be played by a player software. | 09-25-2008 |
