Abstract:
Adware and viruses are examples of objects that may be embedded in a web page or linked to a web page. When such an object is detected to be associated with a web page loading on a browser, an analysis may be performed to determine a trust level for the object. The object is suppressed based on the trust level. A prompt is displayed to advise a user that the object has been suppressed, and to provide an opportunity to interactively accept or decline activation of an action for the object.
Abstract:
An apparatus for presenting each of a first face and a second face of a document to a processing element to facilitate processing of the document thereby. The apparatus includes a first transport subassembly for moving the document along a first document path to present the first face of the document to the processing element. The apparatus also includes a gate adapted to permit movement of the document from the first document path to the second document path. In addition, the apparatus has a second transport subassembly for moving the document in the second document path in a reverse direction until the document engages a downstream side of the gate. The gate directs the document, upon engagement thereof with the downstream side, into the first document path with the second face of the document positioned for presentation to the processing element.
Abstract:
Diffusion regions in a standard cell design are bridged across cell boundaries. Shallow trench isolation is reduced and nitride passivation thickness variation is reduced.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of computerized systems for evaluating patient-specific data for the purpose of providing healthcare providers with recommendations for adhering to best medical practices.
Abstract:
While streaming media content, trick mode operation is optimized to a level that can be readily accommodated by available resources of a media delivery system. In one possible strategy, a trick mode optimization module may decrease the bit rate of the media content stream by progressively dropping delta frames and then a fraction of the remaining key frames as needed. According to another possible strategy, the trick mode optimization module may decrease the bit rate of the media content by progressively dropping sequences of frames between successive key frames. In addition, the trick mode optimization module may combine strategies and drop sequences between key frames, as well as dropping delta frames from the remaining sequences.
Abstract:
Real-time streaming of media content from a server to a device and reduction of startup latencies during distribution are described. In one configuration, once a latency inducing event is initiated (i.e. a channel change, a stopping and starting of the streaming of live media content, or transrating to different streaming rates) a pre-roll process includes decreasing the frame rate of the media content being streamed to the monitor from an initial rate to a reduced rate. Simultaneously, a jitter buffer is flushed and rebuilt with media content samples arriving at a decoder at the initial rate, and being used for playback at the reduced rate.
Abstract:
Using declarative language application instructions, actions associated with playing interactive content of an interactive multimedia presentation are triggered based on a state change of a particular media object. Certain application instructions specify the characteristic of the media object, while other application instructions specify the actions associated with playing the interactive content (for example, when media objects are renderable, event generation, script execution, or changes in variables) based on a state change of the characteristic. The state change is detected by querying a structured representation of the application such as a document object model, which includes nodes associated with the application instructions, the media object, and/or the characteristic. When state changes are detected, one or more of the specified actions are triggered to thereby declaratively respond to the state change. In an illustrative example, the state changes are tracked using attributes which include foreground, focused, pointer, actioned, enabled, and value.
Abstract:
A low pressure backseat sealing apparatus having a flexible sealing lip which contacts the backseat prior to contact between a stem shoulder and the backseat, with the stem shoulder positioned above the flexible lip, thereby limiting stem movement while allowing internal valve pressure to achieve a seal between the flexible lip and the bonnet.
