Multi-service vpn network client for mobile device

Номер: US20120002813A1
Принадлежит: Juniper Networks Inc

An integrated, multi-service network client for cellular mobile devices is described. The multi-service network client can be deployed as a single software package on cellular mobile network devices to provide integrated services including secure enterprise virtual private network (VPN) connectivity, acceleration, security management including monitored and enforced endpoint compliance, and collaboration services. Once installed on the cellular mobile device, the multi-service client integrates with an operating system of the device to provide a single entry point for user authentication for secure enterprise connectivity, endpoint security services including endpoint compliance with respect to anti-virus and spyware software, and comprehensive integrity checks. That is, the multi-service client provides a common user interface to the integrated services, and provides a VPN handler that interfaces with the operating system to provide an entry point for network traffic to which the integrated services can be seamlessly applied.

Two-wire dimmer circuit for a screw-in compact fluorescent lamp

Номер: US20120074853A1
Принадлежит: Lutron Electronics Co Inc

A dimmer switch for controlling the intensity of a dimmable screw-in compact fluorescent lamp provides smooth dimming of the fluorescent lamp and prevents flickering of the lamp due to multiple re-strikes. The dimmer switch prevents multiple re-strikes by avoiding multiple firings of a controllably conductive switching device of the dimmer circuit by limiting the high-end light intensity of the fluorescent lamp. Specifically, the dimmer switch limits the length of a conduction interval of the controllably conductive switching device to less than approximately 75% of each half-cycle. The dimmer switch may include a user-accessible adjustment actuator for changing the dimmer switch between an incandescent operating mode and a screw-in compact fluorescent mode. The dimmer switch may also be operable to automatically change the dimmer switch between the incandescent operating mode and the screw-in compact fluorescent mode by detecting the occurrence of the multiple firings of the controllably conductive switching device.

Iterative, maximally probable, batch-mode commercial detection for audiovisual content

Номер: US20130014157A1
Автор: Michael L. Harville
Принадлежит: Interval Licensing LLC

Identification of starting and ending times of commercial breaks and commercials within those commercial breaks found in audiovisual content is disclosed. A solution to a “batch optimization” problem is used in which commercial locations within a set of audiovisual content are detected as a group by choosing a set of commercial locations which optimizes a cost function which can include considerations of, for example, 1) one or more cues, 2) relative locations of commercials within the audiovisual content, and/or 3) probability models based on statistics obtained regarding characteristics of typical commercial and commercial breaks. Optimization can be done over the total set of commercial location decisions, rather than on a per-commercial basis. Additionally, the cost function can be iteratively evaluated and many more types of cues and combinations of cues can be used in detection of commercials.
