Abstract: Mounting systems and apparatus are provided for attaching a mast to a structure at a desired orientation. The mounting apparatus includes a base support and a ball mount. The base support can be rigidly attached to a portion of the structure. The ball mount receives a ball associated with the mast to thereby allow the mast to be positioned and maintained at the desired orientation. The mounting apparatus may be used, for example, for attaching a digital broadcast satellite (DBS) antenna to a fascia or other portion of a home or other structure.

Abstract: An Interactive Media Event (IME) system includes a sync server, a first user device, and a second user device, each device is coupled to the server. The server executes computer instructions instantiating a content segment engine which outputs a Party matter to the second user device and instantiates an IME engine which receives, from the second user device, a later reaction to the Party matter. The IME engine synchronizes the later reaction with the Party matter. The Party matter may include a media event and a prior reaction to the media event received from the first user device. The media event includes a primary content segment and synchronization information associated therewith. The prior reaction and/or the later reaction may be synchronized to the primary content segment and/or to each other using the synchronization information. A reaction may include chat data captured during the Party.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments are directed an application program configured to run on a user's mobile device can allow voice-activated call pick-up to the user, without the user having to use his or her hands for picking up the call. For example, the application program can initially be trained to a user's voice command. When an incoming call is received at the mobile device, the user can pick up the call by issuing a voice command. In some embodiments, the application program can determine whether to allow voice-activated pick-up of calls based on data collected from multiple sensors associated with the vehicle, the mobile device, or a remote source.

Abstract: A media device control system is provided herein. The media device control system receives a first indication of a geographic location of a set-top box associated with a user and receives a second indication of data representing one or more vacation time periods based on the geographic location. The media device control system determines that the user is predicted to be on vacation within a period of time based on the data representing the one or more vacation time periods and the geographic location. The media device control system receives user input confirming that the user will go on vacation within the period of time. The media device control system causes the set-top box to transmit signals to activate a television during the period of time based on the user input indicating that the user will go on vacation within the period of time.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods and systems for adjusting network speed to a gateway. The network speed adjustment system can include a gateway with the ability to manage a consumer-initiated temporary increase in network speed or network bandwidth. The network speed adjustment system can determine whether the provisioning system can support a network speed increase to the gateway. The provisioning system can measure the capacity of the network at the gateway location and determine whether the system can support providing the gateway with an increased network speed or increased bandwidth. When additional bandwidth capacity or network speed is available for a gateway location, a user can request the network increase by submitting a token via the gateway. The gateway can communicate with the provisioning system to increase the network speed according to the characteristics of the token.

Abstract: A TV lift assist device and methods of operation and assembly thereof are described. The device includes a TV Holder Assembly (“TVHA”), a riser assembly, and a stand assembly. The stand assembly include a center rail assembly and two outrigger rail assemblies coupled thereto. The outrigger rail assemblies extend from front to end, include a top and a bottom surface, a front foot pad, a Leg Height Adjustment Assembly, a first adjustable leg coupled to the first LHAA, and an end foot pad coupled to a bottom surface of the first adjustable leg. The LHAA facilitates levelling of the stand assembly by extensions or retractions of the first adjustable leg within the first LHAA when the first front foot pad is resting on a first surface at a first elevation and the first end foot pad is resting on a second surface at a second elevation.

Abstract: A method for optimizing satellite signal performance in a satellite transmission system. The method includes: obtaining signal data from at least some of the plurality of customer receivers, measuring the signal data from each of the signal beams that were obtained; analyzing metadata from the components of the satellite transmission system, signal source front end controls, and spectral sampling; identifying signal degradation due to weather effects from the signal data of actual spot beam coverage using the measured signal data and the analyzed metadata; and predicting remediation actions to correct the signal degradation due to the weather effects.
