20120130516 | EFFECTS TRANSITIONS IN A MUSIC AND AUDIO PLAYBACK SYSTEM - A music and audio playback system enables an operator to control an audio effect for transitioning an audio output signal from a first audio source to a second audio source by using a single cross-fader control. The transition audio effect combines the two incoming sources using a function that depends on the current position of the cross-fader control. Effects include cross-fading the frequency range, band-ducking, vocoder effects, and beat-cutting effects. The technique is especially advantageous in DJ performance systems in which audio effect-based transitions can add excitement and variety to a performance. Dedicated transition effect preset buttons located near the cross fader facilitate rapid selection by the DJ of the cross-fader controlled transition audio effect. | 05-24-2012 |
20140040494 | INTERACTIVE MEDIA STREAMING - A live rendering system can execute a process of buffering received data at the client to avoid needing to transfer the same data multiple times. If the client does not have data available for a wanted playback position (either compressed or decoded) then this data needs to be transferred from the server, including any overlaps needed for producing a continuous stream. The client stores the data in the event that it is needed again, but can discard the data if it receives notice that the stream content has changed. The buffering process can operate with a first priority to buffer data ahead of a currently selected playback position which is the most likely to be needed next, to minimize any delay or pauses in playback if needed data has not yet arrived. The download can be managed to preserve the known good part of decoded data. | 02-06-2014 |
20140076124 | SONG LENGTH ADJUSTMENT - A system for automatic rearrangement of a musical composition includes a process of assigning metadata to an existing piece of music to divide it into sections and identify sections of the same type, and logic to remove and rearrange sections to produced a customized playback with a desired duration and additional options for including or removing specific sections or instruments under the control of a user. | 03-20-2014 |
20140076125 | ADJUSTMENT OF SONG LENGTH - A system for automatic rearrangement of a musical composition includes a process of assigning metadata to an existing piece of music to divide it into sections and identify sections of the same type, and logic to remove and rearrange sections to produced a customized playback with a desired duration and additional options for including or removing specific sections or instruments under the control of a user. | 03-20-2014 |

20110055217 | SYSTEM TO MODIFY WEBSITES FOR ORGANIC SEARCH OPTIMIZATION - A system is configured to modify a website to optimize the website for an organic search of a topic. The system includes a data management module configured to receive search terms for the topic, receive related terms to the search terms for the topic, and receive website input data. The system also includes a scanning module configured to scan and index web pages and web objects in the website and identify a subset of web pages and web objects associated with the search terms and the related terms. The system also includes an optimizing module configured to process the subset of web pages and web objects from the website by prioritizing the subset of web pages and web objects or measuring a metric with respect to the subset of web pages and web objects. The search terms and related terms are deployed into the subset of web pages and web objects on the website based on the processing. | 03-03-2011 |
20110055710 | TRAFFIC VISUALIZATION ACROSS WEB MAPS - A web traffic visualization system includes a generation module configured to generate a web map. The web map includes web objects and links connecting the web objects, where the web objects are for a web site. The web traffic visualization system also includes an acceptance module configured to assign a unique ID to a visitor of the web site and receive a visitor action performed by the visitor on a web object in the web site tagged with the unique ID. The web traffic visualization system is further configured to include a visualization module configured to generate and display the visitor action on the web map in response to receiving the visitor action tagged with the unique ID. | 03-03-2011 |

20120173961 | TREATMENT CONTROLLER - A content modification system includes a treatment controller which may be hosted at a web server. The treatment controller receives a request for content from a user. One example of a request is an HTTP request for a web page. The treatment controller determines a representation of the requested content and receives a modification instruction for modifying the requested content. The treatment controller is operable to modify the representation according to the instructions and render the representation to a predetermined format for delivery to the user. | 07-05-2012 |
20130166377 | ONLINE AD DETECTION AND AD CAMPAIGN ANALYSIS - Metrics for online ads are captured by parsing web pages to identify ad beacons containing information identifying whether the online ads are for a particular client. These metrics are used to determine key performance indicators for auditing and competitor analysis for an online ad campaign. | 06-27-2013 |
20130191364 | SYSTEM TO MODIFY A WEBSITE FOR SEARCH OPTIMIZATION - A system to optimize a website for a search of a topic includes a processor, a memory, and instructions to cause the processor to receive at least one term related to the topic, and to receive web objects pertaining to the website to be optimized. The system is to calculate at least one metric pertaining to the at least one term and the web objects. | 07-25-2013 |
