Patent number: 8505058Abstract: A synchronization mechanism embeds synchronization triggers into a television signal or stream at regular intervals. The triggers include an accurate representation of the time in which the triggers were embedded. A receiving device decodes the triggers and synchronizes its internal timer based on the triggers. In this regard, the receiving device obtains a reference time from the internal timer and computes an offset between the reference time and the trigger time. The computed offset is then applied to the reference time. With the receipt of each new trigger, the application compares the trigger time to a new reference time with the most recently computed offset value applied. If there is any variance between these two values, the application creates a new smoothed offset.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2011Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Ericsson Television Inc.Inventors: Jon Dakss, Paul Milazzo, Karen Sarachik, Allan Kotmel, V. Michael Bove, Jr.

Patent number: 7367042Abstract: A system and method of adding hyperlinked information to a television broadcast. The broadcast material is analyzed and one or more regions within a frame are identified. Additional information can be associated with a region, and can be transmitted in encoded form, using timing information to identify the frame with which the information is associated. The system comprising a video source and an encoder that produces a transport stream in communication with the video source, an annotation source, a data packet stream generator that produces encoded annotation data packets in communication with the annotation source and the encoder, and a multiplexer system in communication with the encoder and the data packet stream generator. The encoder provides timestamp information to the data packet stream generator and the data packet stream generator synchronizes annotation data from the annotation source with a video signal from the video source in response to the timestamp information.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2000Date of Patent: April 29, 2008Assignee: GoldPocket Interactive, Inc.Inventors: Jon Dakss, Dan Katcher, V.

Publication number: 20030136172Abstract: The vehicle metal pulling apparatus may be mounted on a forklift for use of the hydraulic system to pull metal parts. A cross bar may be attached to the main vertical beam element of the forklift. A push bar may be attached to the cross bar to project forwardly from the forklift for placement against a vehicle to brace the vehicle while pulling on parts. A cable that may be attached at one end to a vehicle part is threaded through a pulley on the cross bar and attached to the forklift vertical lift apparatus. The forklift may then be operated to pull the cable and thereby the part to which attached. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2002Publication date: July 24, 2003Inventor: Paul Milazzo
