Abstract: Apparatus and methods for utilizing service information (SI) in digital video broadcasting (DVB), such as for Internet related actions.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for providing a USB interface module for receiving a TV broadcast for playing on a personal computer (PC), including a Network Interface Module integrated circuit component (NIM) in communication with a first controller through a control bus, the NIM being adapted to receive data that includes a TV broadcast transport stream, and a USB2.0 interface controller in communication with the first controller and adapted to pass on the TV broadcast transport stream unprocessed to a PC.

Abstract: An adapter card for a personal computer (PC), including an I/O element connected to a bus interface adapted to interface with PC graphics display components, and a first interface module connectable to the I/O element and adapted to receive TV signals from a first TV system and transmit the TV signals for viewing on a PC display monitor, and a second interface module connectable to the I/O element and adapted to receive TV signals from a second TV system and transmit the TV signals for viewing on the PC display monitor.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for providing set-top box features and functionality in an integrated circuit (chip) and/or printed circuit board (PCB).

Abstract: A system including a TV comprising a TV display screen, a PC comprising a PC display screen, a processor in communication with the TV display screen and the PC display screen, the processor being operative to process TV signals for viewing TV images in three display formats, a first display format for displaying the TV images on the TV display screen, a second display format for displaying the TV images in a window on the PC display screen, and a third display format for displaying the TV images on the PC display screen so as to appear similar to the TV images displayed on the TV display screen, and a user switching interface connected to at least one of the PC display screen, the PC, the TV display screen and the TV, for selecting one of the three display formats.

Abstract: A method including bringing film for development to a photography store, developing the film into images, transmitting the images by a telecommunications link to access apparatus accessible by a customer, ordering at least one of the images as a finished photographic product, and receiving the order.

Abstract: A control system for a laser includes a resonator cavity having a displaceable control mirror, a drive for displacing the control mirror, sensor devices located to sense the position of the outputted laser beam, and a control circuit connected to the sensor devices for measuring the positional deviation of the outputted laser beam from a reference position and for controlling the drive in response thereto to angularly displace the control mirror to correct the positional deviation.
