| 20090278870 | Method of Displaying Pixels Using Fractional Pulse Width Modulation - A method for displaying a pixel on a display system using a series of digital pulses obtained by first determining a minimum pulse width (MPW) capable of displaying a pixel on the display system and then using a series of pulses for the display of the pixel, where at least some of the pulses have different pulse widths, and where at least one pulse has a width that is a non-integer multiple greater than 1 of the MPW. In this way, the number of unique intensity levels of the pixels of the displayed image can be increased and display resolution is improved. Even better resolution is obtained using two different, alternating series of digital pulses. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20100060861 | MAXIMIZING PERFORMANCE OF AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE BY MAINTAINING CONSTANT JUNCTION TEMPERATURE INDEPENDENT OF AMBIENT TEMPERATURE - Methods and apparatus are disclosed for maximizing performance of an electronic device, such as a display device. Aspects of the exemplary embodiments include operating the electronic device by adjusting power to the device to maintain a predetermined junction temperature of the device independent of the ambient temperature at which the device is operating. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20100225238 | Color Display - A colored light generating element can be configured to, while in an active state, pulse between an off state and an on state. A substantially constant offset voltage or current can be applied to the colored light generating element during a predetermined time interval when the light generating element is in the off state so as to cause the colored light generating element to emit, during the off state, some amount of light greater than a minimum amount of light that the light generating element is capable of generating while part of an active system. In some implementations, two or more offset voltages or currents can be applied. Implementations may include a preprocessor configured to receive an image signal and optimize color saturation of the image signal, such as by limiting and non-linearly increasing color saturation. Implementations may include multiple colored light generating elements. | 09-09-2010 |

| 20110066616 | Systems, Methods, and Software for Presenting Legal Case Histories - Systems and methods for automatically processing a textual document by identifying occurrences of a piece of text having a predetermined format in the textual document; determining a depth-of-treatment value for each piece of formatted text in the textual document, the depth-of-treatment value indicating a depth of treatment in the textual document afforded to the particular piece of formatted text; associating an abstract with each piece of formatted text in the textual document; and generating a data record containing each identified piece of formatted text from the textual document, the depth-of-treatment value and the abstract associated with each piece of formatted text in the textual document. | 03-17-2011 |

| 20110023117 | Method and System for Restricting Access to User Resources - A user's set top box (STB), or other client, executes a shell and has an application program interface (API) by which certain features of the client can be controlled. The client is in communication with a walled garden proxy server (WGPS), which controls access to a walled garden. The walled garden contains links to one or more servers providing network-based services. The client sends a request to the WGPS to access a service provided by a site in the garden. To provide the service, the site sends the client a message containing code calling a function in the API. The WGPS traps the message from the site and looks up the site in a table to determine the access control list (ACL) for the site. The ACL is a bit-map that specifies which functions of the client's API can be invoked by code from the site. The WGPS includes the ACL in the header of the hypertext transport protocol (HTTP) message to the client. The shell receives the message and extracts the ACL. The shell uses the ACL to determine whether the code has permission to execute any called functions in the API. If the code lacks permission, the shell stops execution and sends a message to the site indicating that the site lacks permission. Otherwise, the shell allows the code to call the function. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20110029642 | Delivering Multimedia Services - Disclosed is a scalable, hierarchical, distributed network architecture and processes for the delivery of high-performance, end-to-end online multimedia services, including Internet services such as World Wide Web access. The network architecture connects a high-speed private backbone to multiple network access points of the Internet, to a network operation center, to a back office system, and to multiple regional servers in regional data centers. Each of the regional servers connects to several caching servers in modified head-ends, which in turn connect via fiber optics to many neighborhood nodes. Finally, each node connects via coaxial cable to multiple end-user systems. The processes include those for replicating and caching frequently-accessed content, and multicasting content customized per region or locality. | 02-03-2011 |
