Patent number: 8013541Abstract: A system and method for producing a flattened characteristic for LED luminous output. The system may include an array containing one or more light emitted diodes, a power source connected to the LED array providing drive current to the LED array, a timer connected to a controller wherein the timer logs the on-time of the LED array and communicates the LED array on-time to the controller, and a controller connected to the power source wherein the controller adjusts the intensity of the drive current provided to the LED array based on the on-time data received from the timer such that the resultant relative luminous output is approximately equal to the initial relative luminous output.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2009Date of Patent: September 6, 2011Assignee: The Coca-Cola CompanyInventor: Guy A. Primiano

Patent number: 5493339Abstract: A video system for processing compressed video data into composite video data, the composite video data corresponding to a standard composite video signal type selected from a plurality of standard types, the plurality of standard types including at least one of an NTSC composite video signal type and a PAL video signal type, includes a processor, a standard video decompressor and a video interface. The standard video decompressor processes the compressed video data into decompressed video data and user data, the user data having VBI data encoded therein. The processor culls the VBI data from the user data. The video interface processes the decompressed video data and the VBI data into the composite video data with the VBI data encoded therein.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 1993Date of Patent: February 20, 1996Assignee: Scientific-Atlanta, Inc.Inventors: Christopher H. Birch, Guy A. Primiano, Ajith N. Nair

Patent number: 5467397Abstract: A cable television interdiction apparatus comprises a microprocessor actuation and control means for actuating and controlling one or more frequency agile voltage controlled oscillators. The voltage controlled oscillators selectively jam only unauthorized premium programming transmitted from a headend to a particular subscriber. The method of interdiction comprises the steps of generating and storing voltage control words for operating the oscillators consistent with a headend selected jamming factor for a particular channel to be jammed and addressably transmitted and stored premium programming authorization data.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 1992Date of Patent: November 14, 1995Assignee: Scientific-Atlanta, Inc.Inventors: Lamar E. West, David P. Durand, Melvin Paulick, Guy A. Primiano
