Abstract:
A file transferring method and system (FTMS) optimizes delivery of targeted advertisement files (TAF) to different target groups (TG) that consist of mobile handheld display device (MHDD) users. A server transmits small metadata packets containing a transmission schedule, target group identification (TGID), and information on each TAF, such as file identification, checksum, file size, and number of packets in the file to each MHDD which, on receipt of this metadata, checks the TGID in the metadata packet with a pre-stored TGID in the MHDD. If the TGID received matches the TGID stored in the MHDD, then the MHDD downloads and stores the metadata information. The MHDD then wakes-up during scheduled advertisement (AD) file transmission and downloads the TAFs. The MHDD uses the metadata to verify whether all packets of the TAF have been received without error. In case of error or shortfall, the MHDD wakes-up and downloads missing packets during a next scheduled transmission.
Abstract:
Content is downloaded to a mobile handheld device (MHD) and buffered on the MHD prior to, and during, viewing. Normal wireless bandwidth varies with atmospheric conditions, distance, obstructions in the path, etc. and hence the speed at which a content-buffer (CB) on the MHD is replenished changes. Because this can result in very low quality viewing experience for the user, the capability for alternate content scheduling provided a micro-splicer is used to enable stored alternate-content or advertisement insertion during periods of low viewing quality, when the CB does not hold sufficient content during the viewing period. This alternate content insertion allows the CB to be refilled before the user resumes content viewing.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and an apparatus for setting a channel power offset. A load of a cell is obtained and compared with a preset threshold value. A channel power offset value of a user equipment in the cell is set according to a comparison result. In the embodiments of the present invention, the channel power offset value may be flexibly set according to a load state of the cell.
Abstract:
The invention provides compounds that are fractalkine receptor agonists and useful in treating, preventing or minimizing metastasis in a subject diagnosed with cancer. The compounds of the invention are further useful in treating central nervous system diseases (such as, but not limited to, HIV Associated Neurocognitive Disorders (HAND), and/or Alzheimer's disease), pain, inflammation (such as, but not limited to, arthritis), cardiovascular disease (such as, but not limited to, undesired vascular smooth muscle proliferation, atherosclerosis, coronary vascular endothelial dysfunction, and/or coronary artery disease), and/or multiple sclerosis.
