Time Warner Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 4 -- Time Warner Cable, New York, and Time Warner Entertainment, New York, have been assigned a patent (8,151,294) developed by John Carlucci, Boulder, Colo., William Helms, Longmont, Colo., for a "technique for delivering entertainment programming content including commercial content therein over a communications network."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Although personal video recorders (also known as digital video recorders) provide certain conveniences to viewers of programming content, such devices facilitate manipulation or Askipping@ of commercials, frustrating the intent of the advertisers of the commercials. In accordance with the invention, when a user fast-forwards (rewinds) a commercial, alternate commercial(s) may be accessed for display in place of the original commercial, which provides a full impression of the goods and service promoted, otherwise impossible to appreciate at the fast-forward (rewind) speed. The duration of the alternate commercial(s) corresponds to the duration of the original commercial at the fast-forward (rewind) speed controlled by the user. With the invention, the user advantageously realizes the convenience of manipulating programming content, and at the same time can appreciate the full impression of an alternate commercial to the original commercial, albeit in a shorter duration."
The patent application was filed on May 10, 2010 (12/777,072). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,151,294&OS=8,151,294&RS=8,151,294

LSI Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 4 -- LSI, Milpitas, Calif., has been assigned a patent (8,151,172) developed by Alan D. Poeppelman, Fort Collins, Colo., and Kevin T. Campbell, Windsor, Colo., for an "adjustable error-correction for a reed solomon encoder/decoder."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Methods and structure described herein provide for reducing the overall delay of an RS encoder/decoder without changing the essential functionality of the RS encoder/decoder. In one embodiment, a cascade module reduces the combinatorial logical delay by reducing the total number of logical devices. In doing so, the cascade module couples encoder/decoder slices into blocks. A first block of the encoder/decoder slices is selectively operable in parallel with a second block of encoder/decoder slices. The number of encoder/decoder blocks is less than the overall number of encoder/decoder slices. The cascade module may also include a switch that selects encoder/decoder slices as needed, thereby providing for the implementation of the RS encoder/decoder with fewer logical devices."
The patent application was filed on July 10, 2008 (12/171,002). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,151,172&OS=8,151,172&RS=8,151,172

OCZ Technology Group Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 4 -- OCZ Technology Group, San Jose, Calif., has been assigned a patent (8,151,030) developed by Ryan Petersen, Sunnyvale, Calif., and Franz Michael Schuette, Colorado Springs, Colo., for a "method of increasing DDR memory bandwidth in DDR SDRAM modules."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "The present invention provides a method of increasing DDR memory bandwidth in DDR SDRAM modules. DDR memory has an inherent feature called the Variable Early Read command, where the read command is issued one CAS latency before the termination of an ongoing data burst By using the Variable Early Read command the effect of the CAS latency is minimized in terms of the effect on bandwidth. The enhanced bandwidth technology achieved with this invention optimizes the remaining two access latencies (t.sub.RP and t.sub.RCD) for optimal bandwidth. These optimizations in the SPD allow for much better bandwidth in real world applications."
The patent application was filed on May 25, 2005 (11/138,768). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,151,030&OS=8,151,030&RS=8,151,030
