  • Patent number: 8189986
    Abstract: A video display function that addresses fast-forward overshoot. Holding down a play key during a fast forward function, for longer than a predetermined amount of time, causes a video presentation to be placed in reverse mode until the play key is released. This allows a user to manually, and easily, control how far to back up a given video presentation after a fast forward operation, without having to separately engage a rewind key.

  • Patent number: 7999532
    Abstract: An integral electronic revenue meter system diagnostics package including a microprocessor, storage memory, preselect series of system diagnostic tests, and recording any results which exceed predefined programmable thresholds, and display means for displaying error and/or diagnostic messages identifying selected diagnostic data and/or errors discovered in the meter tests during a predefined period is included as part of an electricity revenue meter of the type used for collecting metering data for a utility which uses such data for billing purposes. The system automatically senses the type of electrical service in which the revenue meter is installed when the revenue meter is installed in a socket at the customer's premises.
