20090010612 | REMOTE CONTROL DEVICE WITH INTEGRATED DISPLAY SCREEN FOR CONTROLLING A DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDER - A remote control for a digital video recorder includes an integrated display screen configured to display a recording list including programs scheduled to be recorded. | 01-08-2009 |
20100122290 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FOCUSED NAVIGATION WITHIN A USER INTERFACE - A method for navigation of television program listings within a user interface includes successively displaying a first set of visual cards in a first area of the user interface. Each visual card of the first set of visual cards represents a corresponding broadcast time slot associated with a graphically represented first card characteristic. Selection by a user of a particular visual card of the first set of visual cards is enabled in order to view a television program corresponding to the time slot represented by the selected visual card. In an embodiment, a transition from display of a first visual card of the first set of visual cards to display of a second visual card of the first set of visual cards occurs automatically at the conclusion of a first time period. | 05-13-2010 |
20110173658 | Remote Control Device with Integrated Display Screen for Controlling a Digital Video Recorder - A remote control for a digital video recorder includes an integrated display screen configured to display a recording list including programs scheduled to be recorded. | 07-14-2011 |
20140032453 | CONTEXTUAL INFORMATION PROVIDER - A user's context history is used to help select contextual information to provide to the user. Context data describing the user's current context is received and a plurality of information items corresponding to the user's current context are identified from a contextual information corpus. A personalized user behavior model for the user is applied to determine the likelihood that each of the identified information items will be of value to the user. One or more of the information items are selected based on the corresponding likelihoods and the selected information items are provided for presentation to the user. | 01-30-2014 |
20140170392 | MULTI-LAYER PHONONIC CRYSTAL THERMAL INSULATORS - A thermal insulator includes a plurality of layers. At least some of the layers include phononic crystals having a phononic bandgap, wherein heat transporting phonons within a selected range of frequencies are substantially blocked by each phononic crystal layer. The plurality of layers thermally isolate a first region from a second region, wherein the first region is at one end of the plurality of layers and the second region is at the other end of the plurality of layers. | 06-19-2014 |
20140182200 | ARTICLES AND METHODS FOR ADMINISTERING CO2 INTO PLANTS - Methods and articles are provided for reducing the amount of water consumed by a plant over a period of time, sequestering CO | 07-03-2014 |
20140185338 | BALANCING POWER GRID PARAMETERS USING DISTRIBUTED ENERGY CONTROL - Described embodiments include a system and a method. A system includes an energy storage device configured to store and release energy. The system includes a waveform sensor configured to detect a second harmonic or higher frequency component deviation in a waveform of electric power supplied to the system by an electrical power grid. The system includes a bi-directional switched-mode converter coupled between the energy storage device and the electrical power grid. The switched-mode converter is configured to receive and convert electric power from the electrical power grid into energy stored in the energy storage device and to convert energy released from the energy storage device into electric power and discharge the converted electric power into the electrical power grid. The system includes a waveform correction manager configured to control the bi-directional switched-mode converter in a manner implementing a waveform deviation reduction strategy responsive to the detected deviation in the waveform. | 07-03-2014 |
