20100146078 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PRESENTATION OF MULTIMEDIA CONTENT - A system and a method for controlling the presentation of multimedia content. Multimedia content is provided to a plurality of multimedia devices, control signaling is sent to each of the plurality of multimedia devices, and responsive to the control signaling, each of the multimedia devices presents the provided multimedia content. The multimedia content provided to each multimedia device can alternatively be the same or coordinated (i.e. different) content. The control signaling can include indications as to which of the multimedia content to present, when to start presenting it, and when to stop presenting it. Responsive to the control signaling, each of multimedia devices can present one or more items of multimedia content. The coordinated presentation of multimedia content by the plurality of multimedia devices results in a collective form of multimedia presentation that goes beyond the presentation of the individual multimedia content items on each of the individual multimedia devices. | 06-10-2010 |

20160073250 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING DISCOVERY OF A WIRELESS DEVICE - An active process is monitored on the wireless device to obtain state information relating to the active process. Static information about the wireless device is determined. One or more discovery communications (e.g., advertisement) are generated for the wireless device using a wireless communication medium. The one or more discovery communications can include (i) a set of data items that are based on the static information, and (ii) dynamic information that is based on the state information of the active process. | 03-10-2016 |
20160094958 | GROUP OWNER SELECTION WITHIN A PEER-TO-PEER NETWORK - A method of selecting one of a number of wireless devices to be a group owner of a peer-to-peer network includes determining, at a first wireless device, a first count value indicating how many other wireless devices are within wireless communication range of the first wireless device; determining, for a second wireless device, a second count value indicating how many other wireless devices are within wireless communication range of the second wireless device; and selecting either the first wireless device or the second wireless device as the group owner based, at least in part, on whether the first count value is greater or less than the second count value. | 03-31-2016 |

20140185445 | Flow-Based Adaptive Private Network with Multiple WAN-Paths - Systems and techniques are described which improve performance, reliability, and predictability of networks without having costly hardware upgrades or replacement of existing network equipment. An adaptive communication controller provides WAN performance and utilization measurements to another network node over multiple parallel communication paths across disparate asymmetric networks which vary in behavior frequently over time. An egress processor module receives communication path quality reports and tagged path packet data and generates accurate arrival times, send times, sequence numbers and unutilized byte counts for the tagged packets. A control module generates path quality reports describing performance of the multiple parallel communication paths based on the received information and generates heartbeat packets for transmission on the multiple parallel communication paths if no other tagged data has been received in a predetermined period of time to ensure performance is continually monitored. An ingress processor module transmits the generated path quality reports and heartbeat packets. | 07-03-2014 |

20140173331 | Adaptive Private Network with Geographically Redundant Network Control Nodes - Systems and techniques are described which improve performance, reliability, and predictability of networks. Geographically diverse network control nodes (NCNs) are provided in an adaptive private network (APN) to provide backup NCN operations in the event of a failure. A primary NCN node in a first geographic location is operated according to a primary state machine at an NCN active state. A client node is operated according to a client state machine. A secondary NCN node in a second geographic location that is geographically remote from the first geographic location is operated according to a secondary state machine at a standby state. The three state machines operating parallel and upon detecting a change in APN state information, the secondary state machine transitions from the standby state to a secondary active NCN state and the secondary NCN node provides APN timing calibration and control to the client node. | 06-19-2014 |

20110144181 | Pharmaceutical Compositions of Amorphous Atorvasta and Process for Preparing Same - Solid pharmaceutical compositions containing atorvastatin are disclosed. The compositions include a solid dispersion of amorphous atorvastatin and one or more optional pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. The solid dispersion is prepared by mixing crystalline atorvastatin with a melt-processible polymer and an optional stabilizer and an optional plasticizer at a temperature sufficiently high to soften or melt the polymer and to melt or dissolve the crystalline atorvastatin in the polymer, thereby forming a dispersion of amorphous atorvastatin. | 06-16-2011 |

20140282550 | Meter Reading Data Validation - A meter data management (MDM) system processes imported blocks of utility data collected from a plurality of utility meters, sensors, and/or control devices by using independent parallel pipelines associated with differing processing requirements of the data blocks. The MDM system determines processing requirements for each of the imported data blocks, selects one of the pipelines that matches the determined processing requirements for each of the imported data blocks, and directs the data blocks to the selected one of the pipelines for processing. The pipelines may include a validation pipeline for validation processing, an estimation pipeline for estimation processing and a work item pipeline for work item processing. | 09-18-2014 |
