International Classification:

G06F 7/04

US Classification:

726 10, 726 5, 726 8

Abstract:

Methods, apparatuses, and techniques for authenticating users of a network are described.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705 144, 705 1449, 705 1454, 705 1458

Abstract:

A list of advertisements, products, or services for which an impression is generated during the course of a digital environment session (e. g. , a video game) may be imported to a list that may be viewed at the conclusion of the digital session. The user may then visit advertiser web sites and/or view/purchase products at their leisure instead of while immersed in the digital experience. Similarly, a list of all advertisements through which an interaction occurred during the course of a video game experience (e. g. , physical encounter, purchase of an in-game product, utilizing a sponsored product) may be imported to a list that may be viewed at the conclusion of a game session. The user may then visit the advertiser web sites and/or view/purchase products at their leisure instead of while immersed in the digital environment.

Filed:

Mar 25, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/383453

Inventors:

Steven Wagner - Cupertino CA, US

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00
G06F 17/30
G06F 12/06

US Classification:

705 31, 707E17014, 707E17044, 711104, 711E12083

Abstract:

In one example embodiment, a system and method are shown for receiving data that include a time stamp. The system and method also include building an Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) cube that includes a dimension, the dimension acting as a schema for the data that include the time stamp. The system and method may also include populating the OLAP cube with an object, the object including the data and the time stamp as at least one attribute. The system and method may also include storing the OLAP cube.

Filed:

Oct 13, 1994

Appl. No.:

8/322753

Inventors:

Steven D. Wagner - Belmont CA

International Classification:

H04N 700
H04N 512

US Classification:

348497

Abstract:

A color television signal, digitized by a sampling clock asynchronous with respect to the television signal's horizontal synchronizing pulses, is applied to a dynamically programmable digital filter which upsamples or downsamples the received digitized television signal over short time periods in response to time-base disturbances in the signal. The user may also select a higher or lower long-term clock frequency. Resampled digital samples are applied to a FIFO memory for readout at a clock rate which follows the time-averaged horizontal frequency of the received digitized television signal, or, alternatively, at a substantially fixed clock rate, asynchronous with respect to the horizontal line frequency of the received digitized color television signal.

US Patent:

Filed:

Oct 17, 1985

Appl. No.:

6/788352

Inventors:

Steven D. Wagner - San Jose CA

Assignee:

Ampex Corporation - Redwood City CA

International Classification:

G01R 2302

US Classification:

324 78R

Abstract:

A frequency measuring circuit measures the period between successive pulses of an input signal and converts the pulse count to a measured frequency value. The measured frequency signal is filtered to eliminate spurious noise and a variable threshold is generated by comparing the measured frequency and the filtered frequency. Only frequency signals qualified by the variable threshold are accepted as valid and provided as the output.

Appl. No.:

6/781279

Inventors:

Steven D. Wagner - San Jose CA
Reginald W. Oldershaw - Redwood City CA

Assignee:

Ampex Corporation - Redwood City CA

International Classification:

H04N 979

US Classification:

358314

Abstract:

An adaptive dropout compensator is fully digital and employs an adaptive logic circuit to detect dropout characteristics such as the extent thereof and the best available replacement data, and generates an adaptive logic decision for supplying the optimum replacement data. The circuit configuration lends itself to a switchable implementation for accommodating the various color television standards.

Filed:

Dec 28, 1988

Appl. No.:

7/291331

Inventors:

Steven D. Wagner - Belmont CA

Assignee:

Ampex Corporation - Redwood City CA

International Classification:

H04N 989

US Classification:

358 19

Abstract:

At the input to a video signal time base corrector, the phase error is sampled during each burst interval and is used to control the operation of an analog-to-digital convertor to compensate for phase errors at the start of each line. Progressive phase errors are predicted during each line and compensated. Any residual phase error at the start of a line is detected and applied to a phase error compensator for eliminating the residual phase error. The residual phase error and the video signal are processed through separate signal paths, and the frequency and phase characteristics of the residual phase error path are adjusted to those of the video signal path.

Appl. No.:

6/483328

Inventors:

David E. Trytko - Foster City CA
Steven D. Wagner - San Jose CA

Assignee:

Ampex Corporation - Redwood City CA

International Classification:

H04N 594
H04N 9491

US Classification:

358314

Abstract:

An all-pass filter provides inversion of a chrominance component in a composite signal without separating the chrominance component from the composite signal, to provide for example, synthesizing composite video from a previous line of video. The filter includes an input for receiving the composite signal along a subsequent signal path, and the application of selected, preferably symmetrical weighting factors to selected locations along the signal path. The path includes selected delay means coupled to define a filter output via summing means. The latter provides the composite signal with inverted chrominance without an objectionable change in the relative phase and amplitude of the luminance components relative to the inverted chrominance.
