  • Publication number: 20230090673
    Abstract: A network services provider delivers bandwidth services to users in relation to a dynamic limit based on an average user consumption, rather than a fixed amount per subscriber. An average user consumption is employed to compute a consumption limit from relative portions of a user community substantially exceed the average, typically defined as “heavy users.” Usage levels below the consumption limit have an increased availability up to the consumption limit. The consumption limit may vary from a total capacity of the service infrastructure, which changes, generally in an increasing manner, as additional resources are added to the network. The consumption limits may be defined over different service intervals, such as daily, weekly or monthly, and for different groups of users depending on network layout.

  • Patent number: 9185332
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a video scan are provided. The scan may be dynamically interactive and a function of characteristics of the programs in the scan (e.g., commercial breaks or the end of a program approaching) The scan may simultaneously display multiple scan windows for a plurality of programs, for example in a scan wizard. The scan wizard allows the user to simultaneously view a scan window and an information panel, select criteria for the scan from a criteria panel, and control the scan using a scan control panel. The scan may allow the user to record a program displayed in the scan without interrupting the scan (e.g., by using an additional tuner). The scan may display, within the scan interface, trick-play functions for appropriate scanned programs (e.g., recorded, cached and on-demand programs). The user may select and perform trick-play functions for a scanned program without exiting the scan mode.

  • Publication number: 20140116824
    Abstract: The object of the invention are the apparatus for reducing dust emissions generated during braking of a vehicle equipped with a disc brake, in particular an automotive vehicle, comprising the brake friction pad, having a friction material layer mounted on a backplate, intended for mounting to the brake calliper of the said brake disc from the side of this brake's disc and at least one suction nozzle intended for connecting via the compressed air hose to a vacuum source, characterized in that the suction opening of the suction nozzle (4) is located outside the friction material layer (4d) of the brake friction pad (6), and a vehicle braking system equipped with a disc brake, in particular an automotive vehicle, which comprises the apparatus mentioned above.
