20090024537 | Exchange-traded fund and process for trading same - The invention provides an exchange-traded fund for the trading of relatively illiquid securities and a process for forming and trading the same. The exchange-traded fund includes securities that are component securities of an Underlying Index and securities that are not component securities, thereby affording Authorized Participants the flexibility to designate securities within each category for inclusion in a portfolio deposit for the creation of a Creation Unit. This approach is necessitated by the relatively illiquid securities such as municipal bonds that lack sufficient liquidity for easy assembly in the amounts necessary for the in-kind creation or redemption of Creation Units for typical exchange-traded funds. This approach facilitates the ability of Authorized Participants to assemble a portfolio deposit and thereby allow for the effective functioning of an arbitrage process, while simultaneously enhancing the ability of the exchange-traded fund to track the applicable Underlying Index. | 01-22-2009 |

20120201372 | HDCP Link Integrity Checking with Detection of Enhanced Link Verification Support - A method is disclosed for checking HDCP link integrity in a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) transmitter. From an HDCP receiver communicatively coupled to the HDCP transmitter by an HDCP-protected interface, a single-bit value indicative of HDCP 1.1 feature support is read. When the single-bit value is true, HDCP Enhanced Link Verification is used in the HDCP transmitter. When the single-bit value is false, the method determines whether the HDMI receiver supports HDCP Enhanced Link Verification, and if so, HDCP Enhanced Link Verification is used in the HDCP transmitter. | 08-09-2012 |

20130246121 | Method And System For Determining Buffer Inventory Size - A method for determining an optimum buffer inventory size by generating a time-based demand pattern that is based on processing discreet demand data through a sliding time window and summing the demand quantity in that time window, and repeating that process as the time window then moves through the time-line of discrete demand, thereby establishing a pattern of cumulative demand in windows-of-time along a time-line. The process moves along the demand time-line from one demand point to the next demand point, summing up all of the demand in a window of time that corresponds to the Time-to-Reliably Replenish (TRR). The method plots each summation of demand for its corresponding window of time (TRR) on a time-line at a point in time coinciding with the first demand data element in each summation. The resulting buffer size is based on the conversion of discrete demand data into time-based demand patterns. | 09-19-2013 |
