Patent number: 9654816Abstract: Synchronizing a video feed with internet content displayed on a second device is described. In some implementations, a first device (e.g., a set-top box) can receive a video stream, extract URLs from the video stream and transmit the URLs to a web server for storage. The web server can respond to requests from a web browser on a second device (e.g., a laptop, tablet computer, etc.) to get the URL associated with the video stream. The second device can use the URL to display internet content associated with the video stream.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2011Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Jérôme Chevillat, Torsten Butz

Patent number: 7878028Abstract: A knitting needle designed specifically for achieving particularly fine divisions, or another knitting tool (2), has a narrower working section (4) and a wider support section (5), whereby the support section (5) is provided with a positioning means (11), for example, having the form of a slit (12) or having the form of a rib (32). The knitting tool (2) is associated with a fixing means (29) in the form of a projection (17) or a groove (33) on the side of the bar (1). Due to this measure, the support sections (5) of the knitting tools (2) may be arranged—in close proximity to each other, in contact with or at a minimal distance from each other—on the bar (1), so that a maximum cross-section is available for configuring the support section (5). This provides strong stability for the knitting tools (2)—even in cases of extremely fine divisions—and, at the same time, provides precise alignment and avoids division errors.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2008Date of Patent: February 1, 2011Assignee: Groz-Beckert KGInventors: Eric Jürgens, Andreas Dietz, Uwe Stingel, Torsten Butz, Klaus Kirchmair, Eckhard Fehrenbacher

Patent number: 7770416Abstract: To simplify the setup of a bar and associated tools of a knitting machine and to improve the degree of precision regarding fineness and the level of sturdiness of the tools and bar system, the holding parts (7, 9) of the tools (4, 5) of the tool set (2) are configured differently. On the holding parts (7) of at least one tool type, means (22) are provided for positioning the tools (4) on the bar and thus means for defining the division. Separate positioning means for positioning and defining the division may be assigned to the other tools (5). Alternatively, they may be positioned by the tools (4) of the first type, between which they are accommodated. If positioning grooves are provided in the bar or parts thereof, these grooves may be set up for twice the distance of division, which results in robust and mechanically stable solutions with finer divisions.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2008Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Assignee: Groz-Beckert KGInventors: Eric Jürgens, Andreas Dietz, Torsten Butz, Klaus Kirchmair

Patent number: 7624599Abstract: A knitting tool for a bar (1) of a knitter comprises a shaft (4), which is provided with a plastic body (15) at least on one side, which extends beyond the side surface (11) of the shaft. Said plastic body (15) is in contact with the side surface of the adjacent knitting tool. Thus, both knitting tools concerned are supported at one another.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2008Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: Groz-Beckert KGInventors: Andreas Dietz, Torsten Butz, Klaus Kirchmair, Eric Jürgens, Ernst-Viktor Heinemann, Hubert Siber, Ingo Zimmermann, Eckhard Fehrenbacher

Publication number: 20090221932Abstract: A multi-frequency microwave antenna (1) of the microwave image reconstruction system senses a signal which passes through an analogue connection (6) to a Dicke null-balancing radiometer (7) which detects sequentially the signal contributions at the different frequencies of the multi-frequency antenna of the system. The resulting sequential analogue signals from the radiometer are directly related to the brightness temperatures at the corresponding frequencies, and these brightness temperatures are directly related to a real intra-body temperature distribution. The system uses a PC (5) and comprises a mean to reconstruct a one-dimensional profile of real intra-body temperatures from the brightness temperatures via the outputs from the analogue-to-digital converter (15).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2006Publication date: September 3, 2009Inventors: Torsten Butz, Emanuele Dati, Oscar Divorra Escoda, Murat Kunt, Pierre Vandergheynst

Patent number: 7549304Abstract: The inventive knitting tools, in particular knitting needles (6), have a body (7) which, for alignment, has on its narrow side projections (15, 16) which have precisely machined abutment surfaces (18, 19) on their end faces. The abutment surfaces (18, 19), can be produced, for example, during a suitable stage of the manufacturing process. One of the projections (15, 16) or an additional projection (17) can be provided with abutment surfaces (20, 21) which are used for longitudinal positioning of the knitting tool. Corresponding grooves (25, 26, 27) in the needle bar (1) are assigned to the projections (15, 16, 17).Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2007Date of Patent: June 23, 2009Assignee: Groz-Beckert KGInventors: Eric Jürgens, Torsten Butz, Klaus Kirchmair, Eckhard Fehrenbacher

Publication number: 20080139931Abstract: Temperature imaging has been recognized to improve a variety of diagnostic and interventional procedures and to predict and prevent failures of electrical circuits and equipments. A system design and method is disclosed, wherein the thermal data is fused and mapped with the data streams coming from a US, CT, or MR scanner, giving the doctors or industrial investigators the impression of being working with a known US, CT, or MR system which has been augmented by the temperature mapping capability.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2006Publication date: June 12, 2008Applicant: ImaSys SAInventors: Torsten Butz, Jean-Philippe Thiran, Murat Kunt
