Patent number: 9344750Abstract: A method and system for scheduling commercial advertisement are described in which a data processing system having the spot scheduler solver may be operable to receive an advertiser's order to place advertisement or commercial spots into one or more commercial television breaks. The order may comprise various constraints and requirements corresponding to the spots. The spots may be assigned to inventory buckets within the commercial breaks based on the constraints and requirements. When a conflict arises, a prioritization scheme may be performed to complete the assignment of spots not assigned and to generate a commercial break schedule. The prioritization scheme may be based on spot arrival lead time or on maximizing the sum of the rates corresponding to the spots. The data processing system may maximize the spread of the spots over the commercial break schedule. The commercial break schedule may be adjusted when additional orders are received.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2015Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.Inventors: Andreea Popescu, John David Ritsema, David Benoit

Patent number: 8594234Abstract: The present invention relates to a transmission apparatus having at least two transmission branches for transmitting respective transmission signals at substantially same frequencies, and to a method of controlling such a transmission apparatus. A first oscillator circuit (62) is provided for generating a first signal at a first frequency to be used in a first transmission branch. Additionally, a second oscillator circuit (64) is provided for generating a second signal at a second frequency to be used in a second transmission branch, the second frequency being different from the first frequency. To enable transmission of the transmission signals at said substantially same frequencies, at least one frequency divider or multiplier (72, 74) is provided for dividing or respectively multiplying at least one of said first and second frequencies by a respective predetermined factor. Thereby, the first and second oscillator circuits can be operated at different frequencies, so that mutual coupling can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2008Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Paulus Thomas Maria Van Zeijl, David Benoit Didier Duperray, Manel Collados Asensio

Publication number: 20060041290Abstract: Tanning apparatuses and methods of operating tanning apparatuses for high efficiency use. In an embodiment, a tanning apparatus including a tanning lamp is operated by delivering a first input voltage to the tanning lamp to generate an ultraviolet radiation output. When the output from the tanning lamp has sufficiently decreased over time due to use, the first input voltage is increased to increase the output to an effective level. Preferably, a variable voltage transformer is used to increase input voltage.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2004Publication date: February 23, 2006Inventor: David Benoit
