Envelop Detection Patents (Class 386/276)
  • Patent number: 9473804
    Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and method for dynamically ordering content and discrete content segments are presented. A set of discrete content segments is received having a first order for distributing the set of discrete content segments during a display of a media stream. Each discrete content segment includes a set of ordering factors. Event data is received. The event data is representative of a set of events depicted by the media stream. A set of event instances is determined from the event data representing the set of events depicted by the media stream. A second order is generated for the set of discrete content segments based on the set of event instances and the sets of ordering factors.

  • Patent number: 6779917
    Abstract: The reversible watch includes first (1) and second (2) cases mounted back-to-back and each having a back cover and securing elements for securing it to the other case in a way which the user can dismantle. In a particular embodiment, each of the cases includes horns (5) through which bars (8, 9) pass. The bars are also used as means for securing the first case to the second and as means for securing each of the ends (12, 13) of the wristband (15) to the assembly formed by said first and second cases. In another embodiment, the back covers of the two cases include elements for securing them to each other, and the assembly of the two cases is mounted in a reversible manner on a support secured to a non-reversible wristband.
