  • Publication number: 20240089523
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented methods and systems provide solutions for mitigating misdetection of display devices in connection with a subscription service. In some examples, the described methods and systems receive a content request from a display device, where the content request is correlated with a particular subscription service account. In some examples, the systems and methods further determine that the display device is not associated with the particular subscription service account. To verify the display device, the systems and methods utilize display timings and scan timings associated with a verification token to prove that the display device is validly located and can therefore be trusted in connection with the subscription service account. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7047302
    Abstract: Interactive or non-interactive primary content for which value is expected to be paid, is maintained in a contents database and accessed from a server station over a network. A customer database containing identifying information about persons accessing the system is maintained on the server side. When the customer accesses the server system over a network, the desired primary content is downloaded into the game console together with accessing identifying information about the client from the customer database. On the basis of the identifying information, auxiliary content, such as advertisements, is triggered for playback in the game console. Information concerning viewing of the auxiliary content is recorded and uploaded to the server. The playback record of the auxiliary content is used as a basis for billing the client and advertisers for valuable content. The auxiliary content is provided on a detachable storage medium such as a CD-ROM or a DVD.

  • Publication number: 20060025290
    Abstract: The present invention is a device for controlled assisted movement of a disabled and/or injured leg. The device includes a dynamic elastic force member that extends longitudinally between a proximal end and a distal end of the dynamic elastic force member. The device further includes a handle operably coupled to the proximal end of the dynamic elastic force member and a suspension apparatus operably coupled to the proximal end of the dynamic elastic force member. Further, the device includes an attachment apparatus operably coupled to the distal end of the dynamic elastic force member. The device exerts a motive force that assists in movement of the leg when the user pulls the handle.

  • Patent number: 4126671
    Abstract: A new immunodiffusion test method for determining the presence of bovine leukemia viral infection in cattle.The method relies upon the formation of a precipitin line resulting from the reaction of glycoprotein antigen with an antibody. The reaction is conducted in a liquid gel medium. By comparing the precipitin line of this test against a standard the presence of bovine leukemia infection can be diagnosed.Also covered is the immunological composition comprising said antigen and said liquid gel media.
