  • Patent number: 9710852
    Abstract: A credit report user interface is provided that may comprise a credit event timeline to view events associated with various accounts associated with a consumer. Credit events may be determined by accessing and analyzing a consumer's credit report from one or more of the national credit bureaus. In some embodiments the consumer can see credit events associated with all of the consumer's accounts or only from a limited number of the consumer's accounts. The consumer may also be able to search credit events, sort credit events, view the impact of credit events on one or more of the consumer's credit scores, and view predicted future credit events.

  • Publication number: 20170026710
    Abstract: A frequency band selection device that can be inserted into a signal transmission line of a CATV system on the premise of a user includes at least two signal path sets between a tap side and a premise side. Each signal path set includes two discrete signal paths, a high frequency signal path for a downstream bandwidth and a low frequency signal path for an upstream bandwidth. The high frequency signal path and the low frequency signal path are separated by a cut-off transition frequency that is different for each signal path set. The device further includes a switch controller having at least two discrete switch positions. The switch controller chooses one of the switch positions as a result of an information signal. Each of the switch positions corresponds to a respective one of the signal path sets.

  • Publication number: 20160166967
    Abstract: Assemblies, features, and techniques for pulse jet air cleaner assemblies and their operation are described. In general, the techniques relate to providing for a dust egress arrangement from the housing, which is not directed downwardly and which is not located in the lowermost portion of the housing, in use. This can be advantageous in field operation.

  • Publication number: 20130268497
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments for increased in-line deduplication efficiency in a computing environment are provided. In one embodiment, by way of example only, hash values are calculated in nth iterations on data samples from fixed size data chunks extracted from an object requested for in-line deduplication. For each of the nth iterations, the calculated hash values for the data samples from the fixed size data chunks are matched in an nth hash index table with a corresponding hash value of existing objects in storage. The nth hash index table is exited upon detecting a mismatch during the matching. The mismatch is determined to be a unique object and is stored. A hash value for the object is calculated. A master hash index table is updated with the calculated hash value for the object and the calculated hash values for the unique object.

  • Publication number: 20130268496
    Abstract: Exemplary method, system, and computer program product embodiments for increased in-line deduplication efficiency in a computing environment are provided. In one embodiment, by way of example only hash values are calculated in nth iterations for accumulative data chunks extracted from an object requested for in-line deduplication. For each of the nth iterations, the calculated hash values for the accumulative data chunks are matched in a nth hash index table with a corresponding hash value of existing objects in storage. The nth hash index table is exited upon detecting a mismatch during the matching. The mismatch is determined to be a unique object and is stored. A hash value for the object is calculated. A master hash index table is updated with the calculated hash value for the object and the calculated hash values for the unique object. Additional system and computer program product embodiments are disclosed and provide related advantages.

  • Patent number: 8464301
    Abstract: An upstream bandwidth conditioning premise device for use as part of a CATV system and for placement on or near a user's premise to reduce noise created on the user's premise that would otherwise be injected into upstream transmission channels and passed into an RF main signal distribution system of the CATV system. The device includes a variable attenuation device, a signal measurement circuit, a memory circuit and an electronic circuit, which is configured to iteratively determine (i) whether an incremental amount of additional attenuation is to be applied and (ii) whether at least a portion of a previously applied incremental amount of attenuation is to be removed. The electronic circuit includes a counting circuit, a threshold comparison circuit configured to compare a peak signal strength to a predetermined threshold, and a peak comparison circuit configured to compare a contemporary peak signal strength to a previous peak signal strength.
