Assignee:

MOTOROLA, INC. - Schaumburg IL

International Classification:

H04N 7/12

US Classification:

37524002, 375E07076

Abstract:

A policy enforcement device performs a method for adjusting video compression parameters for encoding source video based on a viewer's environment. The method includes: receiving, from a video receiving device, a video stream identifier indicating a video stream and a source of the video stream, wherein the video receiving device is remote from the source of the video stream; receiving an indication of environmental conditions of a viewer of the video stream using the video receiving device; determining a set of video compression parameters based on the indication of environmental conditions of the viewer; sending the set of video compression parameters to the identified source of the video stream to enable encoding of the video stream to a different compression level.

International Classification:

H04W 72/10

US Classification:

455512, 455509

Abstract:

An intermediary function receives a reservation request for a desired throughput from the sourcing device, and determines a set of bearers whose aggregate throughput approximates the desired throughput. The intermediary function requests from at least one access network the set of bearers whose aggregate throughput approximates the desired throughput, and receives from the at least one access network an allocated set of bearers, wherein the allocated set of bearers comprises one or more bearers. The intermediary function informs the sourcing device of an aggregate throughput of the allocated set of bearers, receives user plane data from the sourcing device, and associates the user plane data with the allocated set of bearers in order to transport the user plane data to the receiving device. Subsequent modifications to the allocated set of bearers causes the intermediary function to inform the sourcing device of the modified aggregate throughput of the allocated set of bearers.

Appl. No.:

8/639042

Inventors:

Allan E. Brown - Palatine IL

Assignee:

Philips Electronics North America Corp. - New York NY

International Classification:

H05B 3702

US Classification:

315289

Abstract:

An ignition scheme for starting a high intensity discharge lamp requiring energy in the form of ignition pulses to be provided to the lamp prior to and substantially throughout the glow load of the lamp. An ignitor includes a bilateral switching device such as, but not limited to, a SIDAC having a breakover voltage corresponding to the lamp voltage during the lamp glow mode. The ignition scheme substantially eliminates the lamp remaining in its glow mode for a prolonged period of time thereby minimizing the possibility of lamp destruction from damage to the lamp electrodes.

Appl. No.:

7/549340

Inventors:

Robert A. Erhardt - Chicago IL
Allan E. Brown - Lake Zurich IL

Assignee:

North American Philips Corporation - New York NY

International Classification:

H05B 4114

US Classification:

315219

Abstract:

An improved power supply for one or more electric discharge lamps includes a high frequency oscillator-inverter circuit coupled to the output of a full-wave rectifier circuit via a transformer primary winding (25). The rectifier circuit is energized from a low frequency source of AC voltage. The oscillator-inverter circuit supplies high frequency oscillations to the lamp via a frequency-dependent ballast coupling circuit. A regenerative power supply is coupled to the transformer primary winding by means of a secondary winding (62) of the transformer thereby to charge a capacitor (49) operative as a switchable auxiliary supply voltage for the oscillator-inverter circuit. Improved start-up operation is achieved by winding the transformer (25, 62) so as to provide a polarity inversion for the supply of electric energy to the regenerative power supply.

International Classification:

H04M 504

US Classification:

379163

Abstract:

A communication console station links a plurality of communication resources (101, 103, and 105) for use by an operator. Incoming calls are placed in an incoming-call queue (207), calls on hold are placed in a holding queue (209), and all available communication resources are placed in a resource queue (211) The operator presses a single button (303, 305, or 307) to obtain the top resource from the associated queue (207, 209, or 211), which lists resources according to a predetermined priority.

Appl. No.:

8/283110

Inventors:

Allan E. Brown - Palatine IL

Assignee:

Philips Electronics North America Corporation - New York NY

International Classification:

H05B 4116

US Classification:

315247

Abstract:

A ballast for lighting a high intensity discharge lamp having a power factor correction scheme. The power factor correction scheme includes a triac. To prevent the triac from damage when the lamp is not lit and power line transients are present, the triac is turned ON. The triac is also turned ON whenever the lamp is lit.
