  • Patent number: 12155880
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing subscriptions. A media guidance application obtaining viewing patterns of a subscriber and determining a first and second media package of interest to the subscriber. A first and second release schedule are obtained related to media content in the first and second media packages. The media guidance application predicts a first viewing impact of the first subscription and a second viewing impact of the second subscription, for the upcoming time period, wherein the viewing impact indicates a total predicted amount of time spent viewing the media packages in the upcoming time period. An available amount of time for viewing media in the upcoming time period is also determined. The media guidance application generates a subscription recommendation for the upcoming time period based on the first viewing impact, second viewing impact, and available amount of time for viewing media in the upcoming time period.

  • Patent number: 4509367
    Abstract: A device for indexing a rotor (17) of a machine (13) to be balanced utilizes the output signal (A) from a generator (15) connected to the machine rotor (17). The generator (15) produces a continuous sinusoidal output signal (A) proportional to the position and speed of the associated rotor (17). Detector means (37) detect a predetermined output from the generator (15) so that an indicator (41) issues an indication each time the detector means (37) detects the predetermined output. Thus, an operator can physically index the angular position of the rotor (17) with respect to the predetermined output (A) from the generator (15) when an indication is provided so that the position of the rotor (17) is referenced to the output signal (A) of the generator (15).
