Abstract: An operations center stores a plurality of programs, some of which are pre-recorded, and some of which are in the process of being recorded. Pause and resumption functionality allows the user to pause the presentation of such programs using different pause modes, and to later resume the presentation of the programs. In a selective pause mode, the user can selectively pause an individual program. This prompts the storage of a bookmark which indicates a pause position in the individual program. In a pause all mode, the user can pause a plurality of programs at the same time. This prompts the storage of a plurality of bookmarks that are associated with the plurality of programs. In a third pause mode, the user can automatically pause a program by the act of switching from that program to another program. This prompts the storage of a bookmark which indicates a position in the program from which the user has switched away.

IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2005-06-29
Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods that mitigate the intrusiveness of communications between message senders and receivers while facilitating more courteous, seamless, and timely interactions. In one aspec t, instant messaging and other forms of communications, such as push-to-talk voice communications, can be improved via employment of time-bounded policies and parameters. When-Free communications allows users to send When-Free messages , that act as near-instant messages that wait until a user or recipient is not in o ne of a list of states defined as busy or unavailable states. A sender can encode, with a quick gesture or via a standing profile, how long a message is to remain alive before being erased or retracted, or shifted to another communication modality. When-Free variants enable recipients to define policies for handling messages if unavailability persis ts beyond some time threshold, including the generation of automated responses and the shifting of instant messages to email communications, by moving the conversational threa d to an email inbox for later review and response via email or to launch an instant message session that continues where the communication left off.

Abstract: Flexible circuitry is populated with integrated circuits (ICs) disposed along one or both of its major sides. Contacts distributed along the flexible circuitry provide connection to the ICs. Preferably, the flexible circuitry is disposed about an edge of a rigid, thermally-conductive substrate thus placing the integrated circuitry on one or both sides of the substrate with one or two layers of integrated circuitry on one or both sides of the substrate. In alternative, but also preferred embodiments, the ICs on the side of the flexible circuit closest to the substrate are disposed, at least partially, in what are windows, pockets, or cutaway areas in the substrate. Other embodiments may only populate one side of the flexible circuit or may remove substrate material to reduce module profile. In preferred embodiments, the contacts distributed along the flexible circuitry are configured for insertion into an edge connector socket such as those found in general purpose and server computers. Preferred substrates are comprised of thermally conductive material. Extensions from the substrate in preferred embodiments can be expected to reduce thermal module loading and encourage reduced thermal variations amongst the integrated circuits of the module during operation.

Inventor: HERDMAN RODRICK A
IPC: E05B19/00
Filed: 2004-05-07
Abstract: A changeable lock assembly (10) suitable for re-keying a lock without disassembly of the lock. The assembly includes a housing (12) having a bore (14) therein, and a plug (16) rotatably mounted in the bore (14). The plug (16) includes a longitudinal axis (50) and a keyway (24). The keyway (24) is adapted to receive at least a first user key (30) and a second user key (62).

Inventor: KING KAREN L
IPC: C09K8/70
Filed: 2004-10-11
Abstract: Methods of fi-acturing a subterranean formation include providing a ftacturing fluid having a first pH. The fracturing fluid may be made by combining a gelling agent, a surfactant, and a proppant. The surfactant is capable of facilitating foaming of the fracturing fluid at the first pH and defoarning of the fi-acturing fluid when its pH is changed to a second pH. The methods of fracturing the subterranean formation further include foaming the fracturing fluid having the first pH and subsequently purnping it to the subterranean formation to fracture the formation. The pH of the fracturing fluid changes to a second pH, for example via in situ contact with an acidic material, causing the level of foam in the fracturing fluid to be reduced. As a result of the reduction of the foam, the fracturing fluid deposits the proppant into the fractures formed in the subterranean formation.

IPC: H04M1/24
Filed: 2006-04-28
Abstract: The invention is a system that allows customers in a store to test telephones, both residential corded and cordless, or cellular based, before purchasing them. The system consists of a device installed at the location where the various telephones are displayed for customers to view and purchase.  Each of the demonstration telephones is plugged into a separate phone jack on the invention or in the case of cellular phones there will not be a physical jack, but the phones will be registered on the local Basestation simulator. Many phone jacks are supplied to allow many telephones to be simultaneously plugged in.  In one embodiment, the customer would push a button demarcated for a particular telephone causing the telephone to ring. Upon answering the telephone, a pre-recorded message will be played back and the customer will be able to judge the performance of the telephone. Alternatively, in a different implementation, the phones on display can be made to open a voice path between two of them to allow a full two way conversation to take place. In yet another embodiment, there is no button to be pushed, but rather the user picks up the telephone and goes 'off hook' causing the pre-recorded message to be played or the voice path to be established.
