System And Method For Rule Based Dynamic Server Side Streaming Manifest Files

US Patent:
2012004, Feb 23, 2012
Filed:
Aug 20, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/806750
Inventors:
Jason Lewis - Issaquah WA, US
William Watts - Seattle WA, US
Peter Friedman - Kenmore WA, US
Assignee:
DISNEY ENTERPRISES, INC. - BURBANK CA
International Classification:
H04N 7/173
US Classification:
725 97
Abstract:
There is provided a system and method for rule-based dynamic server-side streaming manifest files. There is provided a method comprising receiving a request to provide a first video content for playback, evaluating a plurality of rules for the first video content, generating a dynamic manifest file referencing the first video content, and providing the dynamic manifest file in response to the request, thereby enabling an application to playback the first video content for output on a display by interpreting the dynamic manifest file. The rules may implement various features such as dynamic advertisement insertion, load balancing, client customization, user and device targeting, enhanced security mechanisms, global announcements, and others. As streaming protocols are widely supported by default on many client platforms, the dynamic manifest files can be utilized in a user friendly and transparent manner compared to client-side solutions requiring cumbersome client software installations.

Machine Vibration Baseline Synthesizer

US Patent:
8370109, Feb 5, 2013
Filed:
May 18, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/454519
Inventors:
David J. Van Dyke - Bainbridge Island WA, US
William A. Watts - Bainbridge Island WA, US
Laurent H. LaPorte - Lynnwood WA, US
Assignee:
DLI Engineering Corporation - Poulsbo WA
International Classification:
G06F 11/30
US Classification:
702184, 702182, 702183, 702185, 702189, 702 33, 702 34, 702 35, 702 66, 702 54, 702 56
Abstract:
Machine vibration baselines are synthesized without averaging historical vibration data. Instead machinery configuration information is used, including data about the machine train, the machine's rotating components, and the machine speeds. For each component being considered, a plurality of parameters is identified for deriving baseline portions. The parameters for one component are used to identify baseline vibration amplitude floor values, vibration amplitudes at frequencies corresponding to various harmonics of a rotational speed, and vibration amplitudes corresponding to forcing frequencies and their harmonics/sidebands. Parameters for other components also may be used to identify amplitudes at harmonic frequencies and forcing frequencies.
