US Patent:

7385460, Jun 10, 2008

Filed:

Nov 1, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/264980

Inventors:

Fei Wang - Pasadena CA, US
David Erickson - Ithaca NY, US
Changhuei Yang - Pasadena CA, US

Assignee:

California Institute of Technology - Pasadena CA

International Classification:

H01P 5/00

US Classification:

333108, 333208

Abstract:

A system for detecting interactions between charged targets and analytes. The system includes a fluid channel, and a waveguide associated with the fluid channel. A detection region is associated with the waveguide, and a biasing element is operatively coupled to the detection region. The biasing element is adapted to electrically bias a portion of the waveguide at the detection region, and the charged targets are electrostatically bound to the detection region when the portion of the waveguide is electrically biased. An optical detector is adapted to detect optical changes from the detection region.

David Erickson - San Clemente CA, US

Assignee:

Broadcom Corporation - Irvine CA

International Classification:

H04N 7/18

US Classification:

37524026, 37524025

Abstract:

Schemes for rewinding a HITS stream in video recorder and playback systems are presented herein. Reference pictures are stored for a group of pictures, allowing subsequent pictures to be decoded from the reference pictures. The foregoing significantly reduces the number of picture decodes required to display a HITS stream in reverse order.

Filed:

Aug 9, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/215540

Inventors:

Frederick George Walls - Tustin CA, US
David M. Erickson - San Clemente CA, US
Marcus Kellerman - Aliso Viejo CA, US
Joshua Stults - Irvine CA, US

Assignee:

Broadcom Corporation - Irvine CA

International Classification:

H04N 7/26

US Classification:

386109, 386110

Abstract:

A method and apparatus are disclosed for facilitating efficient operation of trick modes in a personal video recording (PVR) system. Stream-navigation data from a data stream is captured and pre-processed to generate a frame-correlated NAV table comprising one entry for each frame within the data stream, during recording of the data stream. The stream-navigation data comprises start code data, content rating data, and conditional access data that is embedded in the data stream. During playback of the data stream in a user-selected trick mode, the frame-correlated NAV table is used to generate command packets that are sent to a data decoder along with selected frames of the data stream. The selected frames are decoded based on information in the command packets and certain selected frames may be displayed as part of the trick mode.

US Classification:

725110, 725100, 725109, 725112, 725114, 725138, 725139

Abstract:

A method and/or system are described for providing complete Internet anywhere with partial server processing in which a request may be sent from a set-top-box (STB) to a server communicatively coupled with the STB to process a portion of a web page that is unsupported by a web browser running on the STB. The STB may receive a data stream from the server, wherein the server generates the data stream by processing the unsupported portion of the web page. The web page may be composited in the web browser based on the received data stream. The server may be located in a server computing cloud or may be a local server. The unsupported portion of the web page may comprise a binary plug-in. A supported portion of the web page may be rendered before or concurrently with the overlaying of the data stream during compositing.

Filed:

Jun 13, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/150303

Inventors:

David Erickson - Long Beach CA, US

International Classification:

H04M 3/42

US Classification:

379202010

Abstract:

The invention provides for systems that facilitate conference calls between a host and participants which comprises conferencing bridge units operably connected to the Public Switched Telephone Network and a communications system which can transfer information to an administrative operator, where the bridge units are located in more than one location. The invention also provides for a method to use the system to create a reliable reservationless conference call service.

Inventors:

Xuemin Chen - Rancho Santa Fe CA, US
Marcus Kellerman - San Diego CA, US
Vladimir Silyaev - Laguna Niguel CA, US
David Erickson - San Clemente CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709229

Abstract:

An Internet capable set-top-box (STB) may be operable to extend a security boundary from the Internet capable STB to an application server to allow support of web browsing operations from the application server. A secure link between the Internet capable STB and the application server may be established. The Internet capable STB may communicate a request for web page information from a secure web server along with cryptographic credentials to the application server, via the secure link. The application server may be allowed to receive the web page information directly from the secure web server and process at least the unsupported portion of the received web page information. The Internet capable STB may then receive the web page information with at least the unsupported portion processed from the application server, via the secure link, for further processing and rendering.

International Classification:

H04N 7/173

US Classification:

725110

Abstract:

A device (e.g., a server) retrieves a web page based on a request from another device, for example, a set-top-box (STB). The server determines advertising content and/or web page content to deliver to the STB. The server renders and/or encodes the advertising content and the web page content and communicates the content to the STB. The content is decoded and/or displayed by the STB. The advertising content may be determined based on television viewing, recording and/or web browsing via the STB. The advertising content may be determined based on location information and/or user information from a service provider the STB and/or from user input. Advertising may be inserted within a splash screen, a plug-in window, and/or an area within the web page. Web page advertising may be replaced, blocked and/or modified based on user information. The determined advertising may be communicated to the STB prior to communicating a plug-in.
