The apparatus further includes an application style store configured to select an application style file from a plurality of application style files based on the first indicator, an interpreter application configured to generate a visual representation of an application using the application content file and the application style file, the visual representation being formatted for the display resolution of the display device. The application further includes an interface to provide the visual representation of the application for display at the display device.

Abstract: A system for monitoring order fulfillment of telecommunication services is disclosed. An apparatus that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a monitoring system having a controller element that submits a correlation ID to a service orchestration system (SOS) that manages one or more order fulfillment systems (OFSs) that collectively fulfill a select one of a plurality of telecommunication service orders according to a plurality of intermediate fulfillment steps, receives from the SOS information associated with the plurality of intermediate fulfillment steps tagged with the correlation ID, records said information according to the correlation ID, and collects correlated fulfillment activity for the plurality of telecommunication service orders from a plurality of iterations of the foregoing steps. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to anti-?2 integrin antibodies and their uses. Humanized antibodies are disclosed that bind to the I domain of ?2 integrin and inhibit the interaction of ?2?1 integrin with collagen. Also disclosed are therapeutic uses of anti-?2 integrin antibodies in treating ?2?1-mediated disorders, including anti-?2 integrin antibodies that bind to ?2 integrin without activating platelets.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided that interact with an IPTV product deployed in a communication network. The method and apparatus of the present invention collects subscriber activity data, such as channel changes generated by the subscriber while watching video or TV in an IPTV system. The system and method of the present invention collects, parses and processes this consumer activity data. The method and apparatus of the present invention collects and aggregates the IPTV consumer activity data from multiple IPTV consumer activity data collection systems. The aggregated data, collected over a national or global basis can then be used to generate metrics. The metrics are then analyzed by business rules to generate marketing data reports that can be used as an strategic analysis tool for communication network operators, content providers and advertisers to determine consumer usage of the IPTV systems and viewing of programming and advertising.

Abstract: Methods and systems for acquiring a received impulse signal packet including a plurality of repeating short acquisition code sequences and at least one ratchet code sequence following a last one of the plurality of repeating short acquisition code sequences, the repeating short acquisition code sequences defined by a short acquisition code, the at least one ratchet code sequence defined by a ratchet code, and each ratchet code sequence greater in length than each repeating short acquisition code sequence. The method includes the step of concurrently searching the received impulse signal packet for the short acquisition code sequence in accordance with a frame time offset and each of a plurality of acquisition code offsets. The frame time offset is adjusted after each time the short acquisition code sequence is not found during a search. Tracking of the received impulse signal packet is initiated immediately after the short acquisition code sequence is found.
