20130151705 | SYSTEM FOR PROVISIONING DIVERSE TYPES OF RESOURCES THROUGH A UNIFIED INTERFACE - By using a unified generic resource provisioning system, all of an organization's resources may be provisioned through a single user interface system, a single cohesive data model, and a single consistent model of access. The system described herein provisions an organization's resources to both new and existing employees in response to different employee events. For example, in response to a single event that indicates that an employee has been hired by the company, he is automatically given access to a phone, a badge, a virtual machine, and SSL certificates that he can use during his employment with the company. Much later, when the same employee terminates his employment with the company, that employee's access to all of these resources is revoked in response to another single event, such as an event originating from a human resources department, indicating that employee's last date of hire with the company. | 06-13-2013 |

Alternatively, instead of transferring the entire asset, varying length prefixes of the asset may be transferred depending on the availability of resources. The remainder of the asset is transferred in some embodiments on demand with sufficient buffering or other storage to guarantee playback to the user or subscriber according to the required quality of service (QOS). | 10-30-2008 |
20090106639 | System and Method for an Extensible Media Player - In a method and system for creating an extensible media player, a media player application is instantiated on a client system. The media player application receives a data presentation file from a server. The data presentation file includes a playlist of media files and modules associated with each of the media files. The data presentation file is parsed and an instance of the playlist is created. The playlist instance may include playlist items corresponding to the media files of the playlist. Each playlist item may have an associated presentation instance governing presentation aspects of the playlist item. When a playlist item is selected for playback, the corresponding media file is transmitted to the client system. The media file and modules associated with the presentation instance for the playlist item are loaded by the instantiated media player. Once loaded, pre-timeline modules are executed prior to the playing of the selected media file. Additional modules are executed concurrently to the playing of the media file. Subsequent to the playing of the media file, post-timeline modules are executed. Following the presentation of the media file and associated modules, the media player application processes the next selected media file and its associated modules. | 04-23-2009 |

For example, the method may include receiving an indication from a radio resource management (RRM) framework of a small cell base station, wherein the indication received from the RRM framework is related to a coverage problem at a user equipment (UE), and wherein the UE is in communication with the small cell, and modifying a backhaul estimation mechanism at the small cell base station for the UE based on the indication received from the RRM framework of the small cell base station. As such, backhaul management at a small cell base station may be achieved. | 04-30-2015 |

20140015939 | PASSIVE-STEREO THREE-DIMENSIONAL DISPLAYS - A passive-stereo three-dimensional display device is described. The display device includes unconventional pixel elements that may display, substantially simultaneously, colors from two image channels using different types of polarized light. The display integrates two polarizing filters over two sets of sub-pixel elements associated with the image channels. In a two-dimensional mode, a single color value may be displayed on both sets of sub-pixel elements to display a single color per pixel. In a three-dimensional mode, two color values may be displayed on the two discrete sets of sub-pixel elements. | 01-16-2014 |
