Abstract: A system for integrating video programming with the vast information resources of the Internet. A computer-based system receives a video program and uniform resource locators (URLs). The URLs, the effective addresses of locations or Web sites on the Internet, are interpreted by the system and direct the system to the Web site locations to retrieve related Web pages. Web pages related to the video programming appear upon receipt through the user's browser. The video program signal can be displayed on a video window on a conventional personal computer screen. The actual retrieved Web pages can be time stamped to also be displayed, on another portion of the display screen, when predetermined related video content is displayed in the video window. The computer-based system can receive the URLs embedded in the video program or directly through an Internet connection, at times specified by TV broadcasters in advance. The system interprets the URLs and retrieves the appropriate Web pages. The Web pages are synchonized to the video content for display in conjunction with a television program being broadcast to the user at that time. This system allows the URLs to be entered for live transmission to the user.

Title: Occlusion resolution operators for three-dimensional detail-in-context
Inventor: COWPERTHWAITE DAVID
IPC: G06T15/40
Filed: 2000-09-06
Abstract: The information explosion is changing the daily lives of the "wired"  population. Increasing numbers of individuals are being empowered to act as their own infor-mation brokers, interacting with large and expanding data spaces, for example the World Wide Web. Scientists too are dealing with growing databases of empirical and simulated information. New tools for visualizing these spaces are being developed which incorporate three-dimensional visual representations of information.  These three-dimensional representations are believed to leverage the individual's capacity for comprehension and navigation in our three-dimensional world. In practice one is faced with the inherent limitations of 2D presentation and interaction through the traditional two-dimensional desktop computer display. The spatial limitations of the two-dimensional display (referred to as the "screen real-estate problem") have motivated the development of detail-in-context methods of information presentation and exploration. Much of the work in this field has concen-trated on presentation methods for 2D information spaces. While a few techniques have incorporated 3D interaction metaphors, such as surfaces which produce mag-nification through perspective distortion, fewer still have focused on techniques for interaction with 3D representations of information. Three-dimensional representa-tions of information present specific challenges not found in 2D  representations, for example the effect of occlusion on the visibility of elements. Traditional approaches to dealing with occlusion in three-dimensional representations include techniques such as cutting planes, viewer navigation, filtering of information and transparency. While these methods provide clearer visual access to elements of interest it is often at the expense of removing much of the contextual information from a representation.

Title: Distributed switch and connection control arrangement and method for digital communications network
Inventor: GODIWALA NITIN D
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1999-05-01
Abstract: A network (10) includes devices such as computers (12(1)-12(8)), and the like, interconnected by switching nodes (11(1)- 11(6)). At least some of the devices are configured to determine the topology of the network. In determining the network topology, a device operates in a series of iterations, in each iteration transmitting a request message over a path to determine whether an additional entity is present in the network. If an additional entity is present at the end of the path defined in the request message, the entity will generate a response, which is provided to the device. The device, on receiving the response, will add information concerning the entity to a network topology database. At least some the devices, as they discover additional switching nodes in the network, will attempt to configure the switching nodes. In that operation, the devices interact with the switching nodes in connection with a locking protocol to ensure that only one device attempts to configure each switching node. Each device, after it determines the network topology, and when it needs to transfer information with another device, can determine an appropriate route using the newtork topology information in its network topology database. After determining the appropriate route, the device will load routing information into the switching nodes (11(1)-11(6)) to enable them to forward messages containing the information to be transferred thereamong.
