Patent number: 9106723Abstract: Systems and methods allow playback of a placeshifted media stream received via a network. The placeshifted media stream is received and stored in a buffer prior to playback. Responsive to receiving the user command to change the content of the media stream, the buffer is flushed prior to receiving the changed content in the placeshifted media stream.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2013Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: Sling Media, Inc.Inventors: Jason Gary Krikorian, Blake Gary Krikorian, Bhupendra Natwerlal Shah, Alexander Gurzhi, Satish Iyer

Patent number: 9060178Abstract: A player decodes and renders encoded digital data received from an encoder. During processing, the player periodically monitors dropped frames as well as time spent. If the dropped frames are below a minimum, the player determines to signal the encoder to increase bit rate or frame rate by consulting a table. If the player determines to increase bit rate, the player signals accordingly. However, if the player determines to increase frame rate, the player first verifies that the spent time is below a minimum. To the contrary, if the dropped frames are both above the minimum and a first maximum but not a second maximum, the player determines to signal the encoder to decrease bit rate or frame rate by consulting the table and signaling accordingly. However, if the dropped frames are above the second maximum, the player signals the encoder to decrease the frame rate without consulting the table.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2012Date of Patent: June 16, 2015Assignee: Sling Media PVT LTDInventors: Narayana Rao, Satish Iyer

Publication number: 20140033778Abstract: A method is disclosed for producing sulphate or phosphate-based fertilizer from hydrogen sulphide. The method involves feeding a stream containing a substantial volume of hydrogen sulphide and air to a furnace, where it is burned to produce a sulphur dioxide rich gas stream. The sulphur dioxide rich gas stream is then fed to a reactor to produce a sulphuric acid stream and a waste stream comprising carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen, trace impurities and trace amounts of unreacted sulphur dioxide. The sulphuric acid stream is finally converted to a sulphate or phosphate-based fertilizer.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2012Publication date: February 6, 2014Applicant: SULVARIS INC.Inventors: Satish Iyer, Rick Knoll, Eric Pedersen

Patent number: 8532472Abstract: A method of seeking within a time shift buffer includes receiving a media stream from a remotely located media source over a network, and generating a time shift buffer associated with the media stream. The time shift buffer includes a number of frames with keyframes provided at a certain intervals. When a seek request associated with a desired time within the media stream is received, the system determines a nearest keyframe within the set of keyframes that is previous to and closest in time to the desired time, displays the nearest keyframe, then considers in turn each of the frames subsequent to the nearest keyframe until a desired frame corresponding to the desired time is reached displayed. The system cancels the previous examining step and determines a new nearest keyframe in the event a second seek request is received.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2009Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Sling Media Pvt LtdInventor: Satish Iyer

Publication number: 20120240650Abstract: A method for the recovery of hydrogen sulphide and other acid gas fractions from sour wellsite gas in hydrocarbon production is provided. The selected acid gas fractions are absorbed into a noncorrosive and transportable solvent solution at the wellsite, the rich solvent solution being transported to a central plant location where it is desorbed from the solvent solution for further handling or processing. The lean solvent solution can then be recycled. Multiple acid gas fractions could be recovered from the sour gas in question using a single appropriate solvent solution. Carbon dioxide could be absorbed and desorbed at the wellsite rather than at the central plant location. Clean gas is yielded at the natural gas into solvent wellsite for downstream processing or sale.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2010Publication date: September 27, 2012Applicant: SULVARIS INC.Inventors: Satish Iyer, Richard Knoll

Patent number: 7921446Abstract: A personal media broadcasting system enables video distribution over a computer network and allows a user to view and control media sources over a computer network from a remote location. A personal broadcaster receives an input from one or more types of media sources, digitizes and compresses the content, and streams the compressed media over a computer network to a media player running on any of a wide range of client devices for viewing the media. The system may allow the user to issue control commands (e.g., “channel up”) from the media player to the broadcaster, causing the source device to execute the commands. The broadcaster and the media player may employ several techniques for buffering, transmitting, and viewing the content to improve the user's experience.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2009Date of Patent: April 5, 2011Assignee: Sling Media, Inc.Inventors: Jason Krikorian, Blake Krikorian, Bhupendra Shah, Alexander Gurzhi, Satish Iyer

Publication number: 20110035669Abstract: A system uses generated scene transition frames to allow fast seeking within a media stream. A set of scene transition frames associated with the media stream are generated, then transmitted along with the media stream from a remotely located media source over a network. A subset of the scene transition frames are displayed, allowing a desired scene transition frame to be selected from a subset of the scene transition frames based on user input. The media source can then be displayed (e.g., played) starting from a frame corresponding to the desired scene transition frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2009Publication date: February 10, 2011Applicant: SLING MEDIA PVT LTDInventors: Amey Shirali, Satish Iyer
