20110158998 | HELMINTH ANTIGEN AND IMMUNOTHERAPY - A helminth protein immunogen is described. Included as the immunogen is an isolated protein comprising an immunogenic, extracellular fragment of a schistosome tegument protein selected from the group consisting of a TSP-1 protein; a TSP-2 protein; and a 7TM protein. An antibody which binds the isolated protein is also described. Additionally, an immunotherapeutic composition comprising the immunogenic protein and an immunologically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient is described. Furthermore, a vaccine comprising the immunogenic protein is described. Also described are an isolated nucleic acid that encodes the immunogenic protein and a genetic construct comprising that isolated nucleic acid. Further, a host cell comprising the genetic construct is described. A method of immunizing against | 06-30-2011 |

20150156498 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR RESIZING MULTIMEDIA CONTENT BASED ON QUALITY AND RATE INFORMATION - In general, this disclosure describes techniques for exchanging information between a plurality of encoder modules and a multiplex module to combine segments of data from the encoder modules with an improved overall quality. In particular, the encoder modules associate their respective segments of data with quality and rate information and send at least the quality and rate information associated with the segments of data to the multiplex module. The multiplex module analyzes the quality and rate information to determine whether the segments of data that encoder modules desire to include in the current superframe fit within the available bandwidth of a transmission channel. If the multiplex module determines the plurality of segments of data do not fit within the available bandwidth, the multiplex module selects one or more of the segments to be resized based on the quality and rate information received from the encoder modules. | 06-04-2015 |

20080212690 | TRANSCODER MEDIA TIME CONVERSION - In general, this disclosure describes techniques of compensating for differences between a clock associated with an input stream of media data and a clock associated with an output stream of media data. Due to drift between a clock that governs the rate at which a transcoder receives media data units (“MDUs”) and a clock that governs the rate at which the transcoder outputs MDUs, the transcoder may receive MDUs at a rate that is faster or slower than a rate at which the transcoder outputs the MDUs. The transcoder compensates for such differences by identifying sets of received MDUs that account for a time equal to an output period minus a correction magnitude, modifying the identified sets of MDUs such that the sets of MDUs account for a time equal to the output period, and outputting the modified sets of MDUs as part of the output stream. | 09-04-2008 |
20080260042 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR QUALITY CONTROLLED ENCODING - This disclosure describes techniques for controlling a perceived quality of multimedia sequences to try to achieve a desired constant perceptual quality regardless of the content of the sequences. In particular, an encoding device may implement quality control techniques to associate a sequence segment with a content “class” based on the content of the segment, determine a perceptual quality metric of the sequence segment, and adjust at least one encoding parameter used to encode the segment is encoded such that for the perceptual quality of the sequence segment converges to the desired quality. | 10-23-2008 |

20160063406 | BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD - Systems and methods for managing business development activity within an organization include a server reading and storing business development data and user data. The business development data is associated with the business development activity of users in an organization. An interactive display of business development data includes interactive links that allow a user to update the business development data via a remote computer. Requests to update the business development data based on recent business development activity may be initiated from or by the system for individual users or groups of users, for example, via automated messages with interactive links. Progress towards goals and metrics may be used to trigger requests for updates. | 03-03-2016 |
