Abstract: There is provided a content automation system and a method for use by the content automation system for issuing a content management message for use in a program stream. In one implementation, such a content automation system comprises a processor and a memory, and a stream messaging module residing in the memory. The stream messaging module is configured to issue the content management message by embedding a command sequence as metadata in a container data structure, and inserting the container data structure into the program stream. The command sequence authorizes a replacement of program stream content.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for domain controller safety-features and cloning. Embodiments include cloning virtual domain controllers. Cloning permits virtual domain controllers to be rapidly deployed by copying/cloning the entire operating system state of an existing virtual domain controller. Other embodiments provide safety features protecting domain controllers running within virtual machines from introducing distributed corruption into a directory services data system. Protection is facilitated by detecting when a hypervisor or Virtual Machine Manager (“VMM”) uses features that cause a virtual machine to be rolled back in time outside of an operating system's awareness. In response to detecting a feature that causes rollback, safeties can be implemented to compensate for otherwise divergent state and prevent the introduction of duplicate unique identifiers.

Abstract: A module configured in operation to connect to a host, the module including: a decryptor operable to decrypt an encrypted transport stream received from the host, the transport stream including content data and a decryption seed; a decryption key generator operable to extract the decryption seed from the transport stream and to generate a decryption key from the decryption key seed; and a secure channel generator operable to generate a secure channel between the module and the host, whereby the secure channel generator is further operable to provide the generated decryption key to the host over the secure channel.

Abstract: A television apparatus including a register for storing a plurality of events, each event indicating both a time and an operation to be conducted by the television apparatus at that time, a power supply operable to power the television apparatus selectively in a powered-up state or a standby state and a controller arranged so as, in response to a clock reaching a time stored for one of said events, to control the power supply to switch from the standby state to the powered-up state and to cause the respective operation to be conducted by the television apparatus. The television apparatus is arranged to store information indicating, for at least the stored event having the latest time, whether to switch to the standby state or a shutdown state, the power supply being shut down in the shutdown state.

Abstract: The present invention represents a web-based, CRM-integrated system and method for unlocking the creativity of salespeople at all levels when selling to different buyer personas within a buying community throughout the buying cycle. The system of the present invention may be flexible and may integrate the collection of data through questions posed to a user, as well as secondary data sources. This data may be utilized to create a tool for the sales process and to facilitate learning by salespeople. The tools created and utilized by the system may include personas, playbooks, and matrixes. These tools may be designed to facilitate the identification of a best action or choice in response to a particular situation or dilemma.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions comprising known verotoxins, particularly, verotoxin 1, have been found to be useful in the treatment of mammalian neoplasia, particularly, ovarian cancer and skin cancer. Surprisingly, although verotoxin 1 has previously been shown to have anti-neoplastic activity in vitro, non-lethal doses of verotoxin 1 have been shown to be therapeutically anti-neoplastic in vivo.

Abstract: Polymer composite building materials are provided which contain resin, and about 20-75 wt. % fillers and additives, in which the fillers contain at least one bulk filler for reducing the amount of resin needed to make the building material, and at least one aesthetically functional filler for providing the building material with an aesthetic appearance. The bulk filler and the aesthetically functional filler of this embodiment are non-toxic, resistant to microbial attack, and have a Mohs hardness of less than about 5.

Abstract: Devices and methods for treating intraocular pressure are disclosed. The devices include shunts for draining aqueous humor from the anterior chamber to the uveoscleral outflow pathway, including the supraciliary space and the suprachoroidal space. The shunts are preferably implanted by ab interno procedures.

Abstract: Systems and methods in accordance with the present invention allow for messages to be delivered from one application to another over a network in discrete groupings or communication sessions. For example, a sending computer system sends a group of related messages to a queue at a recipient computer system. The recipient computer system identifies that the messages of the group are related, and initiates a session-oriented communication channel. The recipient computer passes the group of messages to an appropriate application, and opens a different, new session-oriented communication channel for a new group of messages that are not necessarily related to the first group of messages. In one implementation, an order identifier in each of the received messages instructs the recipient computer system on what order, if any, the messages in a group are to be processed by the specific application.

Abstract: A thermal interface assembly and method for forming a thermal interface between a microelectronic component package and a heat sink having a total thermal resistance of no greater than about 0.03° C.-in2/W comprising interposing a thermal interface assembly between an microelectronic component package and heat sink with the thermal interface assembly comprising a thermal interface material having phase change properties and a sealing member selected from the group consisting of an o-ring and/or shim in an arrangement such that the thermal interface material is shielded from the atmosphere when the microelectronic component package is operational.
