20130130924 | METHOD FOR ANALYZING D4Z4 TANDEM REPEAT ARRAYS OF NUCLEIC ACID AND KIT THEREFORE - The present invention relates to a method for analysing in vitro D4Z4 tandem repeat arrays of nucleic acid contained on nucleic acid representative of chromosomes, in particular on nucleic acid representative of Human chromosomes 4 and 10, and to a kit therefore. Said method is in particular suitable for determining the number of D4Z4 repeat units in said D4Z4 repeat arrays. Said method is based on stretching of nucleic acid and in particular on Molecular Combing and relies on the use of probes, especially nucleic acid probes, with a particular design. The invention also relates to a method for providing tools for the diagnosis of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) and to a diagnostic kit therefore. The invention further relates to a method for identifying biochemical events and/or genetic in regions containing such tandem repeat arrays. | 05-23-2013 |

20130027614 | Systems and Methods for Rendering User Interface Objects in Accordance with a Variable Scaling Factor - A method for rendering one or more user interface objects on a television screen is disclosed. The method is performed at a computer system coupled with the television screen. The method includes receiving a request for rendering a user interface object, and identifying a variable scaling factor. The variable scaling factor is determined in accordance with a distance parameter corresponding to a distance between a respective user and the television screen. The method also includes rendering the user interface object on the television screen in accordance with the variable scaling factor while maintaining a display of a television program on the television screen based on a fixed scaling factor. | 01-31-2013 |

20090136215 | DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDER SYSTEM WITH AN INTEGRATED DVD RECORDING DEVICE - A digital video recorder (DVR) system with an integrated DVD recording device accepts TV input streams in a multitude of forms. Analog TV streams are converted to an MPEG formatted stream for internal transfer and manipulation, while pre-formatted MPEG streams are extracted from the digital TV signal and presented in a similar format. Indexes within the MPEG stream are determined and saved at predefined intervals and are stored on a hard disk along with the MPEG program material and used to create navigation packets when writing to a DVD inserted in an integrated DVD player/recorder. When a program is requested for display from the hard disk or the integrated DVD player/recorder, the program material are extracted from the appropriate source and reassembled into an MPEG stream which is sent to a decoder. The decoder converts the MPEG stream into TV output signals and delivers the TV output signals to a TV monitor. User control commands are accepted which affect the flow of the MPEG stream allowing the user to view stored programs with special functions: reverse, fast forward, play, pause, index, fast/slow reverse play, and fast/slow play. The user can select program material stored on the hard disk to be written to a DVD and can also select program material stored on a DVD to be transferred to the hard disk. | 05-28-2009 |
20140056572 | Digital Video Recording System - A digital video recorder (DVR) system processes digital streams and associates stream information with segments of video and audio components. Segments of video and audio components from memory are sent to one or more decoders essentially simultaneously with the storing of the segments of video and audio components from the memory on one or more storage devices. The decoder converts the video and audio components into output signals. | 02-27-2014 |
