Method and apparatus to broadcast content to handheld wireless devices via digital set-top receivers
Patent number: RE46869Abstract: Delivery of programming from a content provider to one or more hand held devices is effected via a set-top box (STB). The STB receives a transport stream, recognizes and de-multiplexes out a co-cast content association table containing a list of all available co-cast programming, and broadcasts table to the one or more hand held devices. Each hand held device displays the list and a program therefrom is selected. The selection is transmitted to the STB, which de-multiplexes out the selection from the delivered programming, and re-multiplexes the requested co-cast programming into a transport stream for broadcast to the requesting hand held device.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2014Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Inventor: Fathy Yassa -
Patent number: RE46901Abstract: According to one embodiment, a plurality of test drop recipes are first created based on design data on a semiconductor integrated circuit. Based on a defect inspection result of a pattern of a hardening resin material, which is formed by pressing a template on which patterns of the semiconductor integrated circuit are formed onto the hardening resin material applied to a substrate to be processed by use of the test drop recipes, a drop recipe with least defects is selected per press position on the substrate to be processed from the test drop recipes. The selected drop recipes for respective press positions are collected per functional circuit block configuring the semiconductor integrated circuit, thereby to generate a drop recipe creation assistant database.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2015Date of Patent: June 19, 2018Assignee: Toshiba Memory CorporationInventors: Yasuo Matsuoka, Takumi Ota, Ryoichi Inanami

Patent number: RE47773Abstract: A method for implementing an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) registration, includes: a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) recording a current registration state of a User Equipment (UE) in response to receiving a Multimedia Authentication Request (MAR) initiated by a Service Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF) selected for the UE when a first Register request is sent by the UE; in response to receiving a second Register request initiated by an Interrogating Call Session Control Function (I-CSCF), the HSS sends the S-CSCF Name to the I-CSCF when the current registration state of the UE is an assigned S-CSCF state. By the scheme, a same S-CSCF is ensured to be used in the two User Authentication Request/User Authentication Answer (UAR/UAA) procedures of the initial IMS registration procedure, and the initial IMS registration of the UE is implemented successfully.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2014Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventors: Chunyan Ma, Bin Yu
