  • Patent number: 8644161
    Abstract: A shared channel used to communicate between a cable modem termination system and multiple cable modems is managed to prevent and/or reduce the impact of congestion. If the average channel utilization is above a near-congestion threshold, a cable modem in an extended high consumption state is assigned a reduced data transmission priority for managed traffic. Priority for that cable modem is restored to a default preferred level when the channel usage by that cable modem drops below a predetermined level or when the average aggregate channel utilization by all cable modems drops below the near-congestion threshold.

  • Publication number: 20090125321
    Abstract: Methods and systems for determining the suitability of information to be received by a mobile client are disclosed. For example, an exemplary method may includes identifying a set of location history information by the mobile client, updating a user profile by the mobile client based on the location history information, and displaying/storing target information on the mobile client based on the updated user profile.

  • Publication number: 20050222971
    Abstract: A system for the display and editing of scheduled tasks and timeslots represented in the form of user interface elements embedded in the calendar regions of the graphical user interface of electronic calendaring systems. It provides structures and methods for editing schedule data in the form of individual tasks and timeslots, sub-groups of tasks and timeslots, and related collections of scheduled tasks and timeslots. It provides for the automated generation of scheduled tasks and timeslots information using a template structure, thereby reducing the amount of decisions and key strokes required for the user to generate and load into their personal calendars a predefined program of recurring tasks and timeslots. Methods are employed to minimize routine program maintenance requirements.

  • Patent number: 6205950
    Abstract: The present invention 10 discloses a device for watering pets, e.g., a dog or cat. The device 10 has the general shape of a toilet. The device comprises a base 22, a bowl 12 for holding water 16, and a tank-like structure 18 for holding dry goods 32, e.g., dog food, which tank 18 also is equipped with a lid 20. A compartment 14 for holding a heating media 36, e.g., gel, is shown underneath the bowl 12 in order to heat the bowl. An alternative embodiment discloses a bowl 12 with a seat 34 with hinges 38 on top of the bowl 12 which seat 34 is selectively placed in the up or down position.

  • Patent number: 5698974
    Abstract: An input circuit for an automotive gauge driver receives a pulse width modulated or pulse frequency signal having a duty cycle representing a parameter to be displayed. A switching transistor controls an RC filter to develop an analog voltage proportional to the parameter. The input circuit biases the transistor to correctly respond to the input signal over a large range of supply voltage and where the ground potential differs from that of the source of the input signal. An output transistor means (or two) in series with a gauge coil (or two) is controlled by the analog voltage to provide coil current to effect linear gauge operation. Diodes in the input circuit limit the analog voltage range to end values which match the turn-on characteristics of the transistor means.

  • Patent number: 4087251
    Abstract: A fat recovery system for hide fleshings and trimmings is disclosed having a grinder for comminuting the fleshings and trimmings, the same being oriented to deliver its parts into a cooker having a steam jacket tube with an interior screw conveyor. After the particulate material has passed through the cooker, a drum type rotary screen is provided from which fat will drop, and the particulate materials pass into a press. Thereafter the solid particulates are removed and the liquid products are delivered into a settling vessel which is heated by steam pipes. Optionally, a drying tank may also be provided. The method of the subject invention essentially includes comminuting the fleshings and trimmings, passing the same through a confined passageway, and agitating the same simultaneously to prevent the particles from coalescing. Thereafter, the particles are screened, and the remaining solids passed into means for pressing the same.
