Abstract: A method of sending data from a first party participating in a telephone call to a second party participating in the telephone call, comprising, in the terminal of the first party, storing, as a consequence of the telephone call, identifier data that identifies the second party; using the stored identifier data to determine automatically a destination address for a data message; and sending, during the telephone call, the data message with the automatically determined destination address. A method for sending data from a first party participating in a telephone call to a second party participating in the telephone call, comprising, in the terminal of the first party: providing, while the telephone call is on-going, a user selectable option to transfer data to another party participating in the telephone call without user specification of a destination address.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a transmission and a controller. The controller is configured to receive a torque request, calculate an SFC for satisfying the torque request in an initial gear and in an alternate gear, and command the transmission to shift from the initial gear into the alternate gear in response to the calculated SFC for satisfying the torque request in the alternate gear being less than the calculated SFC for satisfying the torque request in the initial gear.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for adjusting the opening of a scroll valve of a binary flow turbine. Scroll valve adjustments are used at different engine operating conditions to improve engine performance and boost response. Scroll valve adjustments are coordinated with wastegate and EGR valve adjustments for improved engine control.

Abstract: Local service provider contact information is stored in a gateway 202. A VOIP device 204 establishes a contact method with the gateway to expedite contact with the local service provider. The contact methods between the VOIP device and the gateway can be accomplished with and without user intervention. If the contact information changes or the gateway is moved to a new regional provider, the contact information can be altered without requiring user knowledge or interactions.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards an adjusted display interface method and apparatus for displaying the charge condition of a battery in a gateway or similar device. In accordance with implementations of the present principles, a mapping is created between the actual battery charge percentage and a desired battery display condition that includes several conditional display levels configured to avoid user confusion.

Abstract: The present principles of the embodiments generally relate to an apparatus and a method for processing media asset recordings such as, e.g., recording of a television program in an electronic device, such as, e.g., a digital video recorder (DVR). In one exemplary embodiment, the present invention is able to automatically record another occurrence of a requested program as a potential replacement when the original recording of the requested program contains an abnormality such as e.g., an error and/or a program interruption. The potential replacement program may be from a different source such as an internet media service website.

Abstract: There is disclosed an in-band latency detection system and method. The system comprises a motion sensor to detect movement and to generate motion data in response to the detected movement and a microcontroller programmed with instructions to apply a first time-stamp to the motion data. Upon receipt of rendered video including a preselected color, a color sensor for detects the preselected color of the at least one pixel and the microcontroller applies a second time-stamp to the detection of the preselected color to thereby calculate a time difference between the first time-stamp and the second time-stamp. The system further includes an output for outputting the time difference.

Abstract: A method of sending data from a first party participating in a telephone call to a second party participating in the telephone call, comprising, in the terminal of the first party, storing, as a consequence of the telephone call, identifier data that identifies the second party; using the stored identifier data to determine automatically a destination address for a data message; and sending, during the telephone call, the data message with the automatically determined destination address. A method for sending data from a first party participating in a telephone call to a second party participating in the telephone call, comprising, in the terminal of the first party: providing, while the telephone call is on-going, a user selectable option to transfer data to another party participating in the telephone call without user specification of a destination address.

Abstract: A method and system for customer support, wherein a request for customer support is sent via user device comprising a one-touch button for initiating contact with the customer support center. A customer support center receives the request and can initiate communications with a user. The means of communication between the customer support center and the user is based on user information sent with the request.

Abstract: Systems and methods are shown for configuring a cable modem using a dedicated user device that include providing a dedicated port on a cable modem for connecting to a user service device, initiating a configuration connection between the user service device and a cable modem that bypasses the cable modem's authentication process, and changing settings on the cable modem in accordance with input from the user service device.

Abstract: Additional information and/or status messages are routed to a telephone 124 by a gateway device 110 via a caller identification (ID) process. The gateway device determines when a status or information message is available and distributes the message to the telephone when a user answers the telephone. In a similar fashion, a user can call a special telephone number on a plain old telephone system (POTS) 202, hang up the telephone 204 and receive a status/information message as a caller ID message upon a callback by the POTS.

Abstract: A stand for supporting an object comprises: a first main support leg; a second main support leg; a first vertical support member pivotally connected to the first main support leg; and a second vertical support member pivotally connected to the second main support leg, such that first and second vertical support members can be rotated relative to the first and second main support legs to configure the stand in a storage position or a deployed position. The stand further comprises a hinge that operably joins the first vertical support member to the second vertical support member. The stand further comprises a first rear leg configured for sliding movement relative to the first main support leg between a retracted position and an extended position; and a second rear leg configured for sliding movement relative to the second main support leg between a refracted position and an extended position.

Abstract: A foldable multi-instrument stand includes: a first main support leg; a second main support leg; a first pair of vertical support members configured for pivotal movement into an upright orientation relative to the first and second main support legs when the stand is in a deployed position; and a second pair of vertical support members configured for pivotal movement into an upright orientation relative to the first and second main support legs when the stand is in the deployed position. The first main support leg and the second main support leg each define one more support ledges for accommodating and providing support to multiple instruments when the stand is in the deployed position. The areas above such support ledges further define cavities for receiving the pairs of vertical support members when the stand is in a storage position.
