Patent number: 10104445Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for generating and providing a playlist of content relevant to a user that is to be played back instead of advertisement content. In some embodiments, a media guidance application may access a profile of a user, and may generate a playlist comprising a plurality of program content based on data of the profile. The media guidance application may determine that advertisement content is imminently to be played back to the user, and, in response to determining that the advertisement content is imminently to be played back to the user, the media guidance application may select program content of the playlist to play back instead of the advertisement content, and generate for display the program content.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2016Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: Rovi Guides, Inc.Inventors: Milan Indu Patel, Kevin Scott Bright, Emily Louise Weigand, Nancy Huynh

Patent number: 7606742Abstract: A method and apparatus for pre-processing electronic data requests within the EDI subsystem layer and within the order fulfillment application system. An order interceptor, third-party Available To Promise (ATP) interface, pseudo-sales order workbench, and the reject acknowledgment system processes are provided within the order fulfillment application system to accomplish the pre-processing. The order interceptor performs an asynchronous availability check before a sales order is posted. The result of the ATP check is stored in an ESO, and is applied during the posting process with unique user exits. The result of the ATP check is also used to determine key information about the sales order, such as the sales organization, and division and distribution channels. The pre-processor uses business rules to determine if the ESO should be split into multiple documents for requests satisfied across multiple sales areas.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 1999Date of Patent: October 20, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Marion Scott Bright, Pushpalatha Channikere, Balasubramanian Gopalan, Rahul Jindani, Jinraj Dhruvakumar Joshipura, Vinod Kannoth, Jayakumar Krishnamurthy, Gregory Lee McKee, Sylvain Michel, Penny Jeannette Peachey-Kountz, James Donald Scott

Patent number: 7061450Abstract: A scanning control circuit generates a clock signal corresponding to an expected scan timing of a resonant scanner. In one approach, the control circuit uses a pair of direct digital synthesis (DDS) integrated circuits. A first DDS chip provides a system clock that is synchronized to the monitored period of the scanner. A second DDS chip generates a frequency chirped signal that has a frequency profile corresponding to a desired pixel clock timing. To control phase precisely, four complementary clock signals are weighted and mixed at light source drivers to produce relative phase shifts for different light sources.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2002Date of Patent: June 13, 2006Assignee: Microvision, Inc.Inventors: Gregory Scott Bright, Scott W.
