Title: Method and system for tracking network use
Inventor: GRAUCH EDWARD ROWLAND
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 1998-01-05
Abstract: A method and system for tracking subscriber use of a network, such as an interactive media delivery network, which delivers programming to set top boxes coupled to a display device is disclosed. The system tracks events, including any change in status of a set top box caused by a change in programming or channel or a subscriber's activation and interaction with a particular interactive services application.

Title: Bracket for securing pipes
Inventor: BROWN LARRY D
IPC: F16L3/12
Filed: 2000-04-20
Abstract: A bracket supports tubing at a bend in the tubing. The bracket is curved, and has an open side into which the tubing is inserted into the bracket. Projecting lips or restraints extend into a portion of the opening through which the tubing is inserted, with the tubing being placed over lips to prevent the tubing from sliding out of the open side. A flange at one end of the bracket is notched to removably accept the edge of an opening in a plumbing strap, with a latch opposite the notch to releasably lock the flange to the strap. Preferably two or more spacers extend across the width of the bracket, with holes in the spacers sized to accept fasteners to nail the bracket to studs and keep the bracket from rotating about the fasteners. The spacers are a predetermined length to form spacers so that brackets can be stacked adjacent each other with the spacers abutting on another to allow the brackets to be fastened with common fasteners extending through aligned holes in the spacers to maintain the brackets at predetermined distances.
