Patent number: 9384747Abstract: Systems and methods for streaming of audio data of separate streams in at least two different formats. According to aspects of the invention handheld game devices are in wireless communication and a first of the handheld game devices streams audio data during game play to a second of the handheld game devices. The audio data includes audio data from a plurality of streams of audio data. The streams of audio data include streams of audio data in different formats, generally different compressed formats, some of which may be selected based on whether a device includes circuitry specifically configured to decompress audio data in a specific data format.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2013Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: Activision Publishing, Inc.Inventors: Gregory Keith Oberg, Jesse Nathaniel Booth

Patent number: 8414395Abstract: A handheld video game system provides a music video game including a guitar simulation. Operation of the handheld video game system is designed to simulate, to a certain extent, the playing of a real guitar. The handheld video game system typically includes a touch sensitive screen, whereby certain actuation and stroke motions made along the surface of the touch sensitive screen are processed by the handheld video game system as simulated guitar strums. Sets of criteria are implemented by the handheld video game system to determine whether a particular stroke motion is processed and registered as a valid strum.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2008Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Activision Publishing, Inc.Inventors: Gregory Keith Oberg, Jeremy Russo

Patent number: 7875008Abstract: A catheter for use in delivery or withdrawal of a formulation, wherein the catheter has an outer layer comprising a bio-compatible material and a barrier layer comprising a material that provides a more effective barrier than the outer layer against inward and outward diffusion of substances that may cause destabilization of the formulation. The catheter may include a flared distal end tip to aid in the release, during a bolus delivery or catheter flush, of any obstruction situated at the distal end tip of the catheter. The catheter may also include a slit valve at the distal end tip which has one or more and, preferably a plurality of slits that may be elastically extended to an open position by the expulsion of the formulation during an IIP pump stroke. During the interval between IIP pump strokes, the slits return to a closed position and hinder the inflow of body fluid into the distal end tip.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2004Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: Medtronic Minimed, Inc.Inventors: Colin Chong, Keith Oberg, Paul Mounce, Peter C. Lord, William P. Van Antwerp

Publication number: 20050021001Abstract: A catheter for use in delivery or withdrawal of a formulation, wherein the catheter has an outer layer comprising a bio-compatible material and a barrier layer comprising a material that provides a more effective barrier than the outer layer against inward and outward diffusion of substances that may cause destabilization of the formulation. The outer surface of the barrier layer contacts at least a portion of the inner surface of the outer layer. The catheter may include a flared distal end tip to aid in the release, during a bolus delivery or catheter flush, of any obstruction situated at the distal end tip of the catheter. The larger cross-sectional area at the flared distal end tip minimizes the chances that any obstruction that develops at the distal end tip will be sufficient to hinder the flow of the formulation within the lumen of the catheter.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2004Publication date: January 27, 2005Inventors: Colin Chong, Keith Oberg, Paul Mounce, Peter Lord, William Antwerp
