  • System and Method for Actively Programming Aggregated Media On-Demand Networks
    Publication number: 20100125872
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and system for programming media content on an aggregated media on-demand network are provided which models the MoD network by identifying a plurality of distribution channels that provide media content to a plurality of targeted consumers associated with a specified passion area and generating consumer profile information for the plurality of targeted consumers. As distribution rights over the MoD distribution channels are established and performance parameters for the MoD network are measured, the MoD network may be programmed with media content based on the consumer profile information for the plurality of targeted consumers, the performance parameters for the aggregated media on-demand network, and content profile information for the media content.

  • Method and system for processing fragments and their out-of-order delivery during address translation
    Patent number: 6944672
    Abstract: A set of packetized fragments in which only a portion of the fragments carry translation information for the set of fragments is translated by storing in a memory fragments received before the translation information. In response to receiving the translation information, the fragments stored in the memory are translated based on the translation information. After receipt of the translation information, fragments are translated as they are received based on the translation information.

  • Data communication using a modifiable number of XDSL modems
    Patent number: 6483870
    Abstract: A communication system includes a number of communication devices coupled to a data network using communication servers. The communication system supports communication sessions between a variety of networks and devices using, at least in part, XDSL communication techniques. Specifically, information associated with a session passes between a device and an associated server using a modifiable number of XDSL modems and associated twisted pair lines.
