摘要:
A data bus can supply power from a first power source to a sink device. The data bus is coupled to a second power source. An electrical current from the second power source supplements an electrical current on the data bus if the voltage on the data bus decreases to less than a threshold value.

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for broadcasting television programs, in particular to a method and apparatus for inserting an advertisement into a broadcast television program. An object of the invention is to provide a method for inserting an advertisement segment into a television program of an Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) channel, the method comprises the steps of: receiving a request from a user that asks for viewing the television program; monitoring the viewing behavior of the user toward the IPTV channel according to an advertisement policy of the IPTV channel, the advertisement policy comprising providing an advertisement segment based on the user's viewing behavior on the IPTV channel; determining whether the monitored viewing behavior matches the advertisement policy; if the monitored viewing behavior matches the advertisement policy, inserting the advertisement segment into the television program. According to the invention, during the process of viewing a program, a user will have to view a certain amount of advertisements according to a predefined advertisement policy even though the user relocates the television program.

A storage device includes a housing having a cavity formed therein which contains a storage unit. A USB cable is electrically connected between a USB plug located outside of the cavity of the housing and the storage unit located in the cavity. A USB cable stress relief mount includes a first USB cable clamp formed in the housing. A second USB cable clamp is formed in the housing and is opposed to the first USB cable clamp. A third USB cable clamp is formed in the housing. The third USB cable clamp is positioned at an angle with the first and second USB cable clamps. The USB cable extends between, and is secured by, the first, second and third USB cable clamps.

A method (49, 55) of handling fonts in a recorder or a playback-recorder for interactive television. Fonts are stored on a recordable storage medium (220), wherein the fonts are part of a downloaded interactive television application. When recording, the downloaded fonts are stored separate from the application, preferably in a font library on the recordable storage medium, which preferably is a removable medium, preferably an optical storage medium. Each font is only stored in one copy, even when a plurality of applications on the storage medium need that font for running. When playing back the application from the storage medium, indicating information is provided on which fonts form the storage medium in the font library are required for playback of said application from said storage medium. Thus multiple storage of fonts is prevented, minimising needed storage space on the storage medium.

An interactive television system includes a partial font generator (38) which generates a character font file of only those fonts used by a given application program for text display. The partial font file contains the language character fonts utilized by the application program, but less than the complete character set of the language. The partial font file thus requires less time or bandwidth to transmit in the allotted transmit intervals. The partial font file may be generated by a manual process, or by an automated analysis of the fonts used by application program.
摘要:
A method and apparatus are provided for reading from a storage medium to form data values. A signal is generated from a sector on the storage medium and a section of that signal is identified as having a change in amplitude. A gain multiplier is activated to multiply that section of the signal by a gain value. The gain multiplier is deactivated at the end of the section so that the remaining portion of the sector signal is not multiplied by the gain value. This results in a defect adjusted signal that is applied to a detector to detect data values.
摘要:
A process of run-time temperature compensating bias current to a magnetoresistive read head in which a plurality of temperature ranges are defined with associated bias current values. A hysteresis range of temperatures is defined for each boundary between temperature ranges. A bias current value is selected based on the temperature range of the sensed temperature. The process is repeated. If the sensed temperature is in a different temperature range from that previously identified and the measured temperature is not in a hysteresis range at the boundary with the temperature range previously identified, the selected bias current value is based on the presently identified temperature range. If the sensed temperature is in a hysteresis range at the boundary with the temperature range previously.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing disc drives. Before a pivot cartridge is assembled into a disc drive, impedance readings of the pivot cartridge are taken, preferably, at more than one rotational position and across a frequency range. The pivot cartridge is accepted for assembly into the disc drive only if its impedance readings compare favorably with readings taken of a good pivot cartridge. Otherwise, the pivot cartridge is rejected and the impedance readings are analyzed to provide identification of the defect in the pivot cartridge. In addition, a system and a storage device readable by a computer system for implementing the method of screening pivot cartridges and identifying causes of defects is provided.
