20160086257 | Interactive Sale Generation And Purchase Coordination Digital Media - A computer implemented method and a sales management system (SMS) for generating sales through interactive digital content (IDC) integrate multiple electronic commerce service providers (ECSPs) for facilitating purchase of multiple sale items from within digital media. The SMS preferably inserts an indicator element at a predefined location within the IDC in the digital media that, when activated, invokes a display of multiple sale item indicators. When a sale item indicator is activated, the SMS retrieves sale item information associated with the sale item, and selects an ECSP for completing the purchase of the sale item. The SMS displays a dynamic interactive display element (DIDE) linked to the activated sale item indicator. The DIDE displays sale item information and provides direct purchasing options. The SMS renders a content display interface associated with the selected ECSP based on a selection of one of the purchasing options for initiating purchase of the sale item. | 03-24-2016 |

20100084053 | FEEDSTOCK FOR METAL FOIL PRODUCT AND METHOD OF MAKING THEREOF - The present invention discloses a product comprising a 1xxx, 3xxx and 8xxx series aluminum alloy made by a non-ingot casting process, where the aluminum alloy has a thickness of about 5 micrometers to about 150 micrometers for a foil product. The product has an O-temper tensile strength, O-temper elongation, and O-temper Mullen pressure that are at least 10% greater compared to the average values of the same alloy in O-temper cast using a slab or roll-casting process. The product is substantially free of pinholes caused by centerline segregation of intermetallic particles. In another embodiment, the present invention discloses a 8111 or 8921 aluminum alloy made by a non-ingot casting process, where the aluminum alloy has a thickness of about 5 micrometers to about 150 micrometers for a foil product. The product has an O-temper tensile strength, O-temper elongation, and O-temper Mullen pressure that are at least 10% greater than the average values of the same alloy in O-temper made from feedstock prepared by slab or roll casting processes. The product is substantially free of pinholes caused by centerline segregation of intermetallic particles. | 04-08-2010 |

20140087355 | GAMING PLATFORM FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND EXECUTION OF CUSTOMIZED GAMES AND GAME COMPONENTS - A computerized educational game includes multiple formats for questions on a variety of topics related to health, wellness and education and other topics. In one embodiment, questions and answers for the game are stored so that the individual questions can be downloaded in more than one format. For example, the questions and answers may be stored so that they can be answered as “fill in the blank” questions in which the user must supply an answer. The same question may be formatted as a multiple choice question, in which the user is required to select a correct answer from among a plurality of answers. The questions and answers may also be formatted for use in multiple game formats, e.g., a quiz game, a puzzle game, a choose-best-from-list game, a matching game, or a reverse quiz game in which an answer is supplied and the player guesses or selects the question. | 03-27-2014 |
20140156677 | ORDERING CURATED CONTENT FOR ACCESS VIA A PLAYPACK - A presentation order of curated media items that are represented by meta data in a playpack is determined by evaluating a platform score, a viewer score, a content popularity score, a content quality score, and a scatter algorithm. | 06-05-2014 |

20110059709 | Self-Optimizing Integrated RF Converter - Techniques are disclosed for optimization of RF converters. The techniques can be employed, for instance, in RF converters implemented in semiconductor materials (system-on-chip, or chip set) or with discrete components on a printed circuit board. In any such cases, the RF converter system can be configured with one or more actuators to adjust performance, one or more sensor to assess the performance (e.g., linearity of RF converter) and parameters of interest (e.g., ambient temperature, and a control block for controlling the sensors and actuators. The configuration allows the RF converter to autonomously self-optimize for linearity or other parameters of interest such as gain, noise figure, and dynamic range, across a broad range of variables. | 03-10-2011 |
20110059714 | Integrated Cancellation Circuit for RF Converter Spurious Tones - Techniques are disclosed for eliminating or otherwise sufficiently suppressing spurious signals. The techniques are particularly useful in applications such as those that employ aggressor frequency sources along with a frequency conversion or mixing function, and especially applications implemented as a system-on-chip. In the spur-training mode, a spur-canceller circuit identifies spurious tones associated with the host system to neutralize those tones when running in a normal mode. The tones are neutralized using a comb generator with variable phase and gain by way of cancellation with comb output signals having substantially the same amplitude and a phase that is 180° out of phase with the aggressor tone to be cancelled. | 03-10-2011 |
20130049780 | BUILT-IN SELF-TEST FOR RADIO FREQUENCY SYSTEMS - Techniques for performing built-in self-test (BIST) of performance of an RF system are disclosed. The techniques may be used, for example, for measuring distortion generated by the RF system under test, detecting faults in the system, determining calibration of the system, and/or assisting in compensating analog circuitry that is sensitive to temperature, supply voltage, and/or process variations. Also, a BIST architecture for determining RF performance of an RF systems is disclosed. | 02-28-2013 |
