Patent number: 8607263Abstract: A device is enabled to display Internet TV by accessing a management server and receiving back from the server a user token and a service list of predefined content servers. A user can select a content server on the service list which causes the device to upload its user token to the management server, which in turn sends back the network path to the content server along with a content server-user-unique service token (SUIT) that the device uses to access the content on the content server, in some embodiments on per-title PPV access, per-content category PPV access, or per-service PPV access.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2010Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: True Xiong, Charles David McCoy, Viral Mehta, Leo Pedlow, Aran Sadja

Publication number: 20130308687Abstract: In one embodiment, a correlator of a global positioning system receiver in a global positioning system receives a sample satellite signal. The correlator includes a signal comparator configured to receive the sample signal, a first normalized estimate signal, and a second normalized estimate signal. The signal comparator generates a first accumulated output and a second accumulated output. The first accumulated output represents the integration of a correlation of the sample signal and the first normalized estimate signal. The second accumulated output represents the integration of a correlation of the sample signal and the second normalized estimate signal. Using time-multiplexing, the high speed of a digital signal processing core is leveraged to perform calculations of the signal comparator and threshold comparator in real time.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2013Publication date: November 21, 2013Applicant: Avidyne CorporationInventors: Angelo Joseph, David McCoy

Patent number: 8356696Abstract: A system and method for lubricating components where the lubricant is applied in mist form within a substantially enclosed cavity. The cavity contains a draining aperture which collects excess lubricant for subsequent re-use by the system. The cavity is defined by a spray head that includes a base having attached thereto a cover plate with an opening adapted to receive therethrough a component to be lubricated. The cavity and lubrication chamber prevents the escape of excess lubricant. The collection and reuse of excess lubricant provides a closed loop system that reduces lubricant waste.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2009Date of Patent: January 22, 2013Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Brian Carroll, Michael Neu, Chris Petty, Dudley Headley, David McCoy, Stephen Smith

Publication number: 20060274064Abstract: A graphics rendering system and method is disclosed, in which color values for certain pixels appearing on the screen may be adjusted to create a blurring effect. A pixel-by-pixel comparison may be used to compare differences in depth, as noted in a depth buffer, and if pixel depths are sufficiently close, the pixel's color may be softened to take into account color values of neighboring pixels.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2005Publication date: December 7, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Michael Dougherty, David McCoy, Michael Mounier

Automated drill process for two-diameter holes in multi-layer variable thickness composite materials
Publication number: 20060010689Abstract: A method of manufacturing a mobile platform. The platform includes a structure and a member assembled to the structure. Further, the member has a first and a second surface with a thickness defined there between that is varied. The method includes leaving the member on the structure. Also, the method includes advancing a tool through the member while on the structure. The tool is stopped before the tool advances into the structure by more than about a first pre-selected tolerance. Also, a mobile platform assembly is provided that includes a structure, a member, and a fastener fastening the structure and member via a hole through the structure and assembly. The hole has a first diameter through the structure and a second diameter through the member, wherein the diameter changes within an acceptable depth range. In another preferred embodiment, a boroscope, adapted for inspecting holes having two diameters, is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2004Publication date: January 19, 2006Inventors: Ali Salour, Don Grzina, Robert Barclay, David McCoy, Mark Feldman, Susan Miller -
Patent number: 6854216Abstract: A self-storing telescoping seat assembly is disclosed which comprises rows of seating movable between a retracted position where the rows of seating are generally stacked on top of one another, to an extended position and a handrail assembly affixed to a corresponding row of seating in a single assembled position with respect to that row. The handrail assembly stays in the single assembled position as the rows move between the extended position and the retracted position. The handrail assembly can have a top handrail and a lower handrail which cooperate to form an opening, and the opening is preferably adapted to receive the front face of a deck of a row of seating when the rows of seating are in the retracted position. A front face can be formed by the rows of seating in the retracted position, and the handrail assembly has a post which preferably extends in front of the front face when the rows of seating are in the retracted position.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2003Date of Patent: February 15, 2005Assignee: Interkal, LLCInventors: Kenneth A. Ahrens, Richard A. Vance, David McCoy, Daniel R. Victor

Patent number: 6688489Abstract: A portable fastener delivery system is provided that comprises an automated unloading mechanism that removes fasteners from a fastener storage device and delivers the fasteners through a delivery conduit to a work station. Generally, the portable fastener delivery system is mobile throughout a production facility so that fasteners may be delivered to a plurality of work stations. In operation, a signal is transmitted to a control system requesting a specific fastener configuration, and the control system causes positioning of the unloading mechanism adjacent the fastener storage device. A pneumatic source is then activated to cause the unloading mechanism to remove a fastener from the fastener storage device using a vacuum generator, and once the fastener is removed, the fastener is transported through a delivery conduit to the work station using pressurized air from the pneumatic source through a flexible fastener delivery tube.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2001Date of Patent: February 10, 2004Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Daniel D.

Patent number: 6485269Abstract: A detachable air compressor system includes a detachable air compressor unit and a second storage tank. The detachable air compressor unit is portable and includes an air pump powered by a motor and connected to a first storage tank, where the pump, motor, and first storage tank are all connected to a first base. The first storage tank is also attached to a regulator in order to release the compressed air stored inside and to a first coupler to permit the transport of compressed air between the first storage tank and the second storage tank. The detachable air compressor unit can be attached to a second storage tank of a larger size than the first storage tank. The second storage tank includes a second coupler adapted for receiving the first coupler from the first base as well as a second base adapted for coupling with the first base to removably secure the detachable air compressor unit to the second storage tank.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2000Date of Patent: November 26, 2002Assignee: Coleman Powermate, Inc.Inventors: Mark R.
