  • Patent number: 8843392
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for recruiting, communicating with, and paying participants of interactive advertising are described. The present invention is a system through which advertisers car recruit, communicate with, and pay their potential customers for their time. The system achieves these functions without the advertiser or the customer having to be in the same location—all logistics are handled through the system's web site, database, and communications interfaces. The system enables advertisers to promote interactive seminars in which they try to sell products to potential customers. Most importantly, the advertisers are able to offer their potential customers financial rewards for their time, such as 25 cents per minute to reward a customer for listening to a sales pitch. The system then provides a real-time communications link between the advertiser and customer. The system automatically bills the advertiser and rewards the customer for the time that they interact.

  • Publication number: 20140193901
    Abstract: A large scale cell harvesting method for a pack-bed culture device by providing cell growing space that is loosely packed with a plurality of porous matrixes and/or matrix means. When a cell detaching step at least comprising shaking or spinning the culture chamber is performed, the unoccupied space is large enough for the porous matrixes collide to each other or to the culture chamber to generate momentum whereby the cells detach from the porous matrixes to harvest the cells.

  • Patent number: 8438621
    Abstract: A method, device and system for securely managing debugging processes within a communication device, such as a set top box or other multimedia processing device. For example, a security processor (SP) within the communication device manages the lifetime (LT) of any access token issued for use in activating debugging privileges within the communication device. The security processor authenticates an issued access token and securely delivers appropriate debug authorization information to the device controller. The security processor uses its secure, internal timer to count down the lifetime and update the remaining lifetime of the issued access token during the processing of each command by the security processor. In addition to securely managing the issuance of the access token and it's remaining lifetime, the updating process reduces any impact on the normal communications within the device. The method overcomes the issue of the communication device not having a secure internal clock.

  • Patent number: 8407720
    Abstract: Inter-process communication management allows a first data storage system management application to execute a second data storage system management application. For example, when a user directs a client device to execute a second application while executing a first application, the client device establishes an inter-process communication (IPC) channel between the two applications to allow for security and navigation commands to be passed from the first application to the second application. With such a configuration, the first application does not require the user to re-enter information, such as a target IP address, and encrypted password to execute the second application. In one arrangement, the IPC channel is configured to detect the termination of either the first or the second application. Once detected, the client device can safely terminate the IPC channel between the two applications and execute the remaining, non-terminated application as a standalone product.

  • Patent number: 8347219
    Abstract: One embodiment is directed to a method for building an object for display by a client device. The method includes transmitting, by a client device, a request to an object storage device for a class of objects. The method includes receiving, by the client device, a list of objects of the class of objects requested, the list of objects including an interface attribute, the interface attribute configured to direct the client device to a set of display properties for each object of the list of objects. The method also includes executing, by the client device, the interface attribute to retrieve the set of display properties associated with the display of each object of the class of objects, the set of display properties of each object defining a visual representation of that object by the client device.

  • Patent number: 8262095
    Abstract: An improved shuck has one end coupling with a fabrication machine through a holding member. The chuck includes a coupling structure, a grip means and a shank. The coupling structure has a first screwing portion at one end and a fastening member at the other end. The grip means has a second screwing portion at one end engageable with the first screwing portion and a plurality of grip jaws at the other end inclined outwards. The coupling structure and the grip means are held in a through hole formed in the shank. The through hole has an internal side to form compact holding of the grip means to firmly hold a tool. After the coupling structure is anchored through the fastening member, the shank can be turned to drive the grip means to move, and the grip jaws can be expanded or contracted to release or grip the tool.
