摘要:
Described herein is a technology for electronic program guides and multimedia presentation devices. One implementation, described herein, provides a unified access to multiple electronic program guides (EPGs) from multiple programming and guide data sources (e.g., local broadcast, satellite broadcast, DVR, VoD, etc.). With this implementation, multiple EPGs from a variety of sources are presented in a single common user interface (UI). Therefore, the television viewer may search/browse the EPG of all sources concurrently. The scope of the exemplary e-commerce facilitation is pointed out in the appending claims.

System and method for recommending commercials are disclosed. Commercials from video signals are identified and extracted. Transcript information about the identified commercials are learned and extracted. Each commercials are then classified into different categories according to their transcript information. User preferences to the commercials are determined. The commercials with the user preferences are then used to build or train a decision tree in order to select commercials to recommend to the user. The selected commercials are then recommended using a personal channel.

A desired range of moving image data is designated. Then, still images obtained from a start frame and an end frames in the designated range are displayed, and an interface for designating trimming areas is provided for the two frames. The trimming areas are set in a predetermined frame to be extracted from the designated range based on the trimming areas designated by using the interface. The predetermined number of frames is extracted from the designated range of the moving image data, a partial image in the set trimming areas is extracted from the extracted predetermined number of frames, and a predetermined number of continuous still images are generated. The obtained continuous still image is printed onto a recording sheet via a printing device.

The invention is directed to a borehole logging apparatus for deep well drilling, with a signal transmitter for transmitting measured data obtained while drilling from a borehole through the drilling fluid to the earth's surface, and with an elongated housing which is adapted for insertion in the drilling fluid conduit of a drill string. Accommodated in the housing is a flow regulator with a control piston, which controls the cross-section of opening of a bypass opening in response to the pressure differential generated at an entrance opening of the housing and the force of a spring, in such manner that the part of the drilling fluid current delivered to the housing conduit, which is fed to the signal transmitter, is maintained substantially constant, and the remaining excess drilling fluid current is routed to the drilling fluid conduit via the bypass opening.

A display apparatus according to the present invention is arranged to inform a user that the set time of a timer circuit capable of setting an arbitrary time will end shortly, immediately before the end of the set time, or inform the user that the set time has ended, immediately after the end of the set time, thereby preventing the user from using the display apparatus for an excessively long time without noticing the lapse of the use time of the display apparatus.
摘要:
An apparatus and method is disclosed for blocking specific television commercials from the viewer's television based upon the characteristics of the television commercial and a program to place the blocked television commercials into an archive. An archive interrogation program then acquires the users search criteria and sends the search criteria to the content search program for a list of matches. The matches are displayed to the user and the user can select a segment for viewing.

An advertisement data store maintains advertisements that have been displayed for viewing and/or information corresponding to the displayed advertisements. The advertisement data store provides advertisers with an advertising model to selectively reach potential customers and clients, and provides viewers with additional information about a particular product and/or service after having viewed an advertisement of interest. A viewer can reference the information maintained in the advertisement data store without interrupting a current television program and without missing other advertisements that may be of interest to the viewer.
摘要:
A compression scheme for reducing the amount of data that must be transmitted uplink from a formation test while drilling apparatus. Periodic samples are taken within the formation test apparatus and prior to transmitting data uplink, the samples are analyzed to generate curve fit parameters that define a curve that most closely fits the sampled data. A minimal set a data points, time variables, and curve fit parameters are transmitted to the surface where the transmitted data is used to reconstruct the formation pressure test curve. A quality of fit value is also transmitted with the minimal data set as an indication of the quality of the fit between the reconstructed data and the actually sampled data points.
摘要:
The invention relates to systems and methods for use in carrying out media audience measurements. Media data and data gathering software are communicated to a user system from a content server. The user system communicates a media audience message to an audience surveying system which stores media audience data based on the media audience message.
