Patent number: 11944917Abstract: A computer system and method for synchronizing actions associated with media between a media/network device and peripherals. In an example implementation, a system includes a one or more processors configured to receive, by a communication module from a media/network device based on peripheral addressing information, a peripheral payload including a first set of actions and timing information related to media. The one or more processors perform the first set of actions based on the peripheral payload, generate response data for the first set of actions, and transmit the response data to the media/network device via a wireless network.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: OPENTV, INC.Inventors: Claes Georg Andersson, John Michael Teixeira, Nicholas Daniel Doerring, Nicholas Fishwick, Colin Reed Miller

Patent number: 10531155Abstract: Advertisements included in a stored digital video program are identified and indexed. A user can time shift the advertisements to play out at a different time position in the program or not play the advertisement at all.

Patent number: 10305577Abstract: A high-linearity linearizer system includes a multi-stage linearizer circuit formed by cascading multiple linearizer circuits. The multi-stage linearizer circuit is configured to pre-distort an input signal to generate a pre-distorted signal. A non-linear high-power amplifier (HPA) having non-linear characteristics is coupled to the multi-stage linearizer circuit and is configured to amplify the pre-distorted signal. Pre-distortion characteristics of the multi-stage linearizer circuit are configured to counter the non-linear characteristics of the non-linear HPA and to compensate a non-linearity of the non-linear HPA to achieve a desired level of linearity.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2015Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: Marc Ronald Bjorkman, Kim Thomas Lancaster, Douglas V.

Patent number: 10075310Abstract: An adaptive linearizer system includes an adaptive linearizer circuit that is configured to pre-distort an input signal based on one or more control signals to generate a pre-distorted signal, and a non-linear high-power amplifier (HPA) having non-linear characteristics that is coupled to the adaptive linearizer circuit. The nonlinear HPA amplifies the pre-distorted signal. The pre-distortion characteristics of the adaptive linearizer circuit provide for countering the non-linear characteristics of the non-linear HPA and compensating a non-linearity of the non-linear HPA.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2015Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATIONInventors: Marc Ronald Bjorkman, Novellone Rozario, Jason Michael Teixeira, Douglas V.
