Abstract: Various systems, devices and methods automatically identify advertisements or other portions of television or other media content prior to broadcast using automated content analysis. Information about identified content may be used for any number of different purposes, including advertisement identification; advertisement replacement; second screen browsing or augmentation of identified content; tracking of times or places that ads or other content are viewed; and many others.

Abstract: Conventionally, software-based services that utilize satellites are manually and painstakingly configured, provisioned, activated, and calibrated, because the complexity and variability of satellite links prevent automated and scalable service orchestration. Accordingly, systems and processes are disclosed for automated and scalable orchestration of services that utilize satellite links. In response to a service request, comprising a service definition for an end-to-end service, parameter(s) of a satellite link that satisfies the service definition may be calculated. These parameter(s) may be used to select a configuration for a satellite-network service chain, comprising a plurality of virtual network functions, from a service catalog. The satellite-network service chain may then be instantiated, within a cloud infrastructure, using the selected configuration.

Abstract: The present invention relates to combination treatments for cystic fibrosis, particularly combinations of modulators of the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) and gene therapy.

Abstract: A harness apparatus for use with a head-mounted display device is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the apparatus provides a pair of display connector portions positioned on opposing left and right sides of the display device. A harness assembly provides at least one elongate primary head strap for engagement about a user’s head, with opposing terminal ends of the at least one primary head strap being positioned proximal a left temple and a right temple, respectively, of the user’s head, and providing a pair of strap connector portions configured for removable engagement with the pair of display connector portions. The harness assembly further provides a gasket extending between the strap connector portions and configured for being positionable in contact with a face of the user so as to be sandwiched between the display device and the user’s face when the display device is engaged with the harness assembly.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for determining network characteristics are provided. The network characteristics may be used to facilitate changes to how content is delivered over a network, such as to avoid network congestion, to provide improved throughput, or to provide a good (or better) user experience, such as when streaming media. For example, the network characteristics may be determined, in part, by tracking domain name resolution requests by using specially formulated domain names that require resolution at an authoritative name server.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a mechanism for a computer user to seamlessly and readily access information that may be supplied by a number of different sources.

Abstract: This invention relates to lentiviral gene transfer vectors pseudotyped with hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) and fusion (F) proteins from a respiratory paramyxovirus, comprising a promoter and a transgene; and methods of making the same. The present invention also relates to the use of said vectors in gene therapy, particularly for the treatment of respiratory tract diseases such as Cystic Fibrosis (CF).

Abstract: A television set top box (STB) or similar receiver device uses information obtained from a wireless interface to automatically detect when the device has been moved to a different location. The device may initially obtain a list of wi-fi zones or in-range wireless devices that can be quantified or stored for later comparison. If the device later finds that the original zones/devices are no longer present or that substantial numbers of new zones/devices are present, then the device can recognize that it has been moved to a new location. The device may respond to the detected location change by disabling premium content, by reporting back to a security service, by simply recording the change in location, or by taking other actions as appropriate.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for automatically selecting television channels for display on one or more televisions based on the viewing preferences of the viewers. The viewers can enter their viewing preferences in a database through a user interface that a controller can access. The controller can receive, for a premises (e.g., a sports bar), a list of viewers. Based on the viewing preferences of the list of viewers, the controller can determine a single or a ranked list of television channels for display on the televisions. If there are multiple televisions, the controller can assign each of the televisions a television channel from the ranked list based on the ranking. The controller can send an instruction to the STB controlling the television(s) to set the assigned television channel to the assigned television.
