Abstract: In some implementations, a system is capable of dynamically associating content streams to improve a user's viewing experience while accessing primary content. To accomplish this, the CMS uses content association data assigning secondary content items to the primary content. Secondary content items can be assigned to designated frames of the primary content so that the secondary content items are presented to user at specified time points during the playback of the primary content. Secondary content items can represent content that is related to the subject matter of the primary content, or content that a user may be interested in accessing while viewing the primary content.

Abstract: In some implementations, a system is capable of intelligently generating customized multimedia content streams that are distributed to different groups of users. The system generates the customized content streams such that the initial and terminating portions of the streams are shared between each of the content streams. The system adjusts the intermediate portions of the streams to, for example, the viewing preferences of each user group using alternate forms of content. In this regard, the customized content streams that have both customized portions and shared portions to provide a standardized yet adaptive viewing experience for all users.

Abstract: A memory device for extending addressable array space by incorporating virtual and physical memory arrays is disclosed. When extra storage space beyond a physical memory array is needed by a controller of the memory device, the storage space may be provided by extending the address space using a virtual array. The memory device incorporates the use of an extra row address bit to increase the addressable space, whereby the extra bit is utilized to address virtual rows in the virtual array. Spare or redundant physical memory elements utilized for memory repair may be programmed to a virtual address space for the virtual memory array. When a memory device operation is activated, the extra row address bit is set to high, and the virtual row address matches with a spare or redundant memory element, the virtual row in the virtual array space is activated for performance of the operation.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for page-based soft post package repair are disclosed. Based on data stored in a storage element, an address may be decoded to a prime row, a row-based redundant row, or a page-based redundant row. A match logic circuit may determine whether the address corresponds to a defective prime row and generate a match signal. A decoder can select a redundant row to be accessed instead of a prime row in response to the match signal indicating that the address data corresponding to the address to be accessed matches defective address data stored in a volatile memory. A page-based redundant row allows for page-by-page substitution for defective memory, allowing functional portions of memory to continue to be used.
