Abstract: A method (300) and system (100,200) for customizing a user interface (122) on a display or consumption device (121) is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes delivering, with a control circuit (210), an advertisement (114) to a plurality of client devices (106,107,108). A channel collector device 113 can then capture viewership activity data (116,117,118) occurring during playout of the advertisement. The method then modifies a presentation characteristic of the user interface by presenting a playback (501) comprising both the advertisement and at least some of the viewership activity data in synchrony.

Abstract: A multi-function high speed barrel shifter comprising three functional levels. The first level performs 1/4 word shifts by a selectable amount. The second level performs 1/8 word shifts on the portion of the word to be shifted and, where desired, fills the remainder of its output with fill bits. The third level performs 1/32 of a data word shift. All shifting and filling are controlled by an input control signal which specifies the operation, direction and shift amount. The circuit is easily complimented in LSI Technology and is easily cascaded to double the size of the data word handled thereby.

Abstract translation: 一种多功能高速桶形移位器，包括三个功能级别。 第一级以可选择的量执行1/4字移位。 第二级对要移位的字的部分执行1/8字移位，并且如果需要，用填充位填充其输出的剩余部分。 第三级执行数据字移位的1/32。 所有的移位和填充由一个指定操作，方向和移动量的输入控制信号控制。 该电路容易在LSI技术中得到补充，并且容易级联，从而使处理的数据字的大小加倍。

Abstract: A server complex (102) in a content delivery network (200) includes a central server (110), a multicast server (210), and an edge server (105). The central server delivers, with the multicast server, a content offering (120) to the edge server beginning at a predetermined time by transmitting portions (103) of content in succession, with each portion of content accompanied by an index fact datagram (204). The edge server stores each index fact datagram in an index file (215). When playing back content, the edge server retrieves an index file portion (404). When the information in the index file portion is exhausted, the edge server obtains any additional index fact datagrams (407) corresponding to any additional portions (408) of the content offering from the index file stored at the edge server.

Abstract: A data transfer system (100) includes a data transmission device (103). The data transmission device can include a data communication circuit (206), a memory (202), and a control circuit (201) operable with the communication circuit and the memory circuit. The control circuit can transfer data (306) to a remote device, establish a sliding window (307) spanning a predetermined amount of data, and store the predetermined amount of data. In response to receiving an error message (311) identifying particular data (312) encountering errors in transfer, the control circuit can retransfer the particular data so long as the particular data is within the sliding window.

Abstract: A video on demand (VOD) asset management system (100). Content is moved within the VOD system in accordance with predetermined variables such that certain content, such as that which is in high demand, is located on a server (120, 125) which is nearer to a subscriber (130), and content which is in lesser demand is located on a server (110, 115) which is more remote from the subscriber. Content may also be duplicated or moved within the system based upon other variables such as demographics of the subscriber, whether there is an advertising campaign for the content, and the age of the content.

Abstract: A peripheral controller is provided for controlling data transfers between peripheral devices operably on one type of data bus to devices operable on a second data bus. An intermediate buffer is utilized so that data is read into one memory block from the sending data bus and read out of another memory block to the receiving data bus. Controls are provided to prevent overwriting data which has not been transmitted and to prevent data transfers from the buffer until at least one block of memory has been filed.

Abstract: A pulsed power supply having a filter output and a battery backup includes electronic apparatus to sense when the AC source is failing. When the pulsed supply output has the same pulses as that which would be produced by the battery, the supply switches to battery backup mode. As the AC source returns, the supply switches to AC supply mode when the AC is at a level where the pulses produced by the supply would be the same as are actually being produced by the battery backup.
