  • Content player method and server with user profile
    Patent number: 6587127
    Abstract: A method of operation of a server (102) interacting with users (104, 106) to provide personalized content to each of the users. Personalized content is sent to a first user by communicating first audio or other content associated with a broadcast to a first user location. Second content is selected and a first signal is communicated to the first user location dependent on the user profile. The second content can include second audio content selected in dependence upon the first user profile, in which case playback of the second audio content is synchronized with respect to playback of the first audio content.

  • Method of simultaneous simulation of a complex system comprised of objects having structure state and parameter information
    Patent number: 5913051
    Abstract: Simulation of a complex system begins by generating a plurality of system objects (12) describing items within the system through structural information within the system object (12). Each system object (12) corresponds to a plurality of parameter group objects (18, 20, 22), and a plurality of state objects (24, 26, 28) associated therewith. Each system object (12) also corresponds to a plurality of simulation objects (30, 32, 34) representing specific simulations of the complex system. Each simulation object (30) associates with a parameter group object (18) and a state object (24). Each object is indexed by an object identifier (OID) and parameter group and state objects are further indexed by their corresponding simulation object identifier. Structural, parameter, and state information are separated within their own individual objects allowing multiple threads of system configuration to be run through the simulation objects simultaneously for parallel comparison of simulation results.

  • Method of simultaneous simulation of a complex system having system objects, parameter objects, state objects, and simulation objects
    Patent number: 5757678
    Abstract: Simulation of a complex system begins by generating a plurality of system objects (12) describing items within the system through structural information within the system object (12). Each system object (12) corresponds to a plurality of parameter group objects (18, 20, 22), and a plurality of state objects (24, 26, 28) associated therewith. Each system object (12) also corresponds to a plurality of simulation objects (30, 32, 34) representing specific simulations of the complex system.
