  • Self-sanitizing structure for automatically neutralizing infectious agents on the structure's commonly touched surfaces
    Patent number: 11938235
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a self-sanitizing structure that includes a body region having a contact surface that can be contacted by a person during an intended use of the self-sanitizing structure. The self-sanitizing structure further includes an energy source configured to generate electromagnetic radiation and direct the electromagnetic radiation through the body region to the contact surface. The body region is configured to scatter the electromagnetic radiation and pass the scattered electromagnetic radiation to the contact surface in a manner that maintains the scattered electromagnetic radiation that reaches the contact surface as sanitizing electromagnetic radiation. The sanitizing electromagnetic radiation is electromagnetic radiation that is at or above a minimum irradiance level that neutralizes infectious agents.

  • Noise reduction apparatus with isolation transformers in an internet protocol television system
    Patent number: 9277268
    Abstract: A residential gateway includes an Internet Protocol television (IPTV) network communication port and a first isolation transformer circuit. The IPTV network communication port is configured to receive a signal from an ITPV network. The first isolation transformer circuit is in communication with the IPTV network communication port. The isolation transformer is configured to receive the signal from the IPTV network communication port, and to transform a ground of the signal to float at a ground potential of a power source of the residential gateway.

  • System and method for mapping internet protocol television interference
    Patent number: 8144616
    Abstract: A method in a server for monitoring an Internet Protocol television (IPTV) service for a customer premises is disclosed. A first geographical location of a customer premises is retrieved, and a second geographical location of an amplitude modulation broadcasting facility within a threshold distance from the customer premises is retrieved. A first signal transmission power rating for the amplitude modulation broadcasting facility during daytime hours is retrieved, as is second signal transmission power rating for the amplitude modulation broadcasting facility during nighttime hours. A time of day that the IPTV service failure occurs is determined based on the first signal transmission power rating for the daytime hours and the second signal transmission power rating for the nighttime hours.
