Patent number: 10326812Abstract: A digital broadcast network is provided in which multiple original experiences powered by the same data is created. A server software intelligently handles delivery of data so that the data can be utilized by several different client-side applications at substantially the same time. Through filtering of large amounts of data and creation of a universal format, this data can be used by devices capable of receiving a digital broadcast stream.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2008Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jonathan Paul McCartie, George Allen Rothrock, Nicholas Andrew Glassman

Patent number: 10317350Abstract: A sample handling apparatus/technique/method for a material analyzer, which provides active, variable concentration of a sample, using a measurement marker introduced into the sample, to measurably concentrate an analyte in a liquid (e.g., water) sample. Active, variable concentration allows otherwise lower level analytes to be concentrated in a measurable way. This enables measurements at higher (e.g., concentrated) levels, which can be extrapolated to obtain their lower, original levels based on the concentration level—measured using the introduced marker as a guide. The sample handling apparatus may be used in combination with an optic-enabled x-ray analyzer, the x-ray analyzer including an x-ray engine with an x-ray excitation path and an x-ray detection path, usable during both during the concentration and analyte measurement.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2015Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: X-RAY OPTICAL SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Zewu Chen, George Allen, Andrew Hider, Danhong Li, Jon Dunphy, Joseph Spinazola
