20130239153 | CONTENT RETRIEVAL FOR DIGITAL MEDIA RECORDER DEVICES - A computer receives broadcast content through a receiver and receives a request from a user to record a segment of broadcast content. The computer determines whether metadata associated with the segment of broadcast content includes a location from which the segment can be retrieved at a subsequent time. Responsive to determining that the metadata includes the location from which the segment can be retrieved, the computer records a first portion of the segment of broadcast content, the computer storing the first portion of the segment of broadcast content in a database. Responsive to a request to play the segment of broadcast content, the computer retrieves the first portion of the segment of broadcast content from the database and plays the first portion of the segment of broadcast content. The computer retrieves a remaining portion of the segment of broadcast content not previously recorded through a network connection. | 09-12-2013 |

20130216293 | TARGETED PERFORMANCE OF HYPOHALITE SYSTEMS THEREOF - This invention relates to extend the benefits of using hypochlorite compounds such as sodium hypochlorite to clean and disinfect articles while reducing or eliminating the side effects of treating an article with a strong oxidant material. The invention relates to a single step process involving mixing of precursor compositions of a suitable hypohalite or hypohalous acid with a solution of a reducing agent. Optionally a boiler may be present in either or both precursor compositions, such that at time of use such active hypohalous acid concentration, in the resulting aqueous mixture remains at a sufficient activity level to effect one or more desired benefits against a target substrate for a desired period of time. The oxidant is substantially consumed by reaction with the reducing agent after the time needed for achieving the desired benefit has passed. | 08-22-2013 |
20130216631 | TARGETED PERFORMANCE OF HYPOHALITE COMPOSITIONS THEREOF - This invention relates to extend the benefits of using hypochlorite compounds such as sodium hypochlorite to clean and disinfect articles while reducing or eliminating the side effects of treating an article with a strong oxidant material. The invention relates to a single step process involving mixing of precursor compositions of a suitable hypohalite or hypohalous acid with a solution of a reducing agent. Optionally a buffer may be present in either or both precursor compositions, such that at time of use such active hypohalous acid concentration in the resulting aqueous mixture remains at a sufficient activity level to effect one or more desired benefits against a target substrate for a desired period of time. The oxidant is substantially consumed by reaction with the reducing agent after the time needed for achieving the desired benefit has passed. | 08-22-2013 |

20140254033 | TRANSLATIONAL OPTIC ALIGNMENT LOCKING DEVICE - An optical device includes a housing enclosure, a lens cell holder mounted to the housing enclosure by a retainer, a lens assembly mounted to the lens cell holder such that the lens assembly is configured to translate in an axial direction; and a radial space defined between the lens cell holder and the retainer that is sized to accommodate adjustment of the lens cell holder and the lens assembly in a radial direction with respect to the housing enclosure. A method of adjusting a line of sight of the optical device includes (i) positioning the lens assembly against the housing enclosure; (ii) adjusting the radial position of the lens assembly until a pre-determined line of sight requirement is achieved; and (iii) fixing the lens assembly to the housing enclosure of the optical device to preserve the radial position of the lens assembly with respect to the housing enclosure. | 09-11-2014 |

20140362485 | Transient Protection Filter Circuit that Minimizes the Effects of Thermal Runaway - Commonly, a transient protection filter circuit is integrated between power sources and the circuits that follow to suppress voltage transients. Pre-existing transient protection filters are implemented such that when a transient is detected, transistors in the path become linear regulators. Instead, this invention uses bridge resistors to form a voltage divider to dissipate the extra power. The novelty of this invention is that it protects the load not by dissipating the extra power in front of the load as other transient protection filter circuits do, but by providing energy from the transient to the load through a resistor. This implementation solves the problem of thermal runaway that is commonly caused when transient voltages are filtered by dissipating power within the transistors in the path of the transient and the electric circuits after the transistors. | 12-11-2014 |
