    摘要: Channel trending, including determining a number of viewers watching a multimedia program, is achieved in a digital television network. Cached multimedia frames that correspond to portions of the multimedia program are maintained, for example, on a device located on an edge (i.e., in a network edge device) of the digital television network. In response to a request from a client device (e.g., a set-top box) to receive the multimedia program, cached multimedia frames are fed from the edge device to the client device. Upon a seamless transfer or handoff resulting in a simulcast replicator or multicast replicator providing further portions of the multimedia program, a signal (e.g., a simple network management protocol TRAP statement) is sent to a viewership statistic server for incrementing a counter.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a removable air filter is mounted proximate to where electrical equipment is mounted in a case. The filter has at least two sections with different finite air impedances. The filter is constructed of a filter media mounted inside of a frame. When the equipment arrangement is modified, the filter can be replaced with another filter with a different impedance profile, such that the air flow remains optimal for many equipment arrangements. The impedance profile can also be tailored to compensate for the characteristic airflow of the case design. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: A method for controlling stopping and starting of an engine having a variable event valvetrain is described. According to the method engine valves may be used to reduce engine evaporative emissions as well as engine starting emissions. Since the engine configuration shown has electrically actuated intake and exhaust valves it is possible to reconfigure the engine operating sequence during a start. For example, the pistons for cylinders two and three are in the same position at the same time. This allows either cylinder to be set to an intake stroke during a subsequent engine restart when the piston is traveling away from the cylinder head while the companion cylinder is set to the expansion or power stroke. Thus, the cylinder having the first intake stroke could be configured to provide a first combustion event during an engine restart. On the other hand, the cylinder set to the power stroke could have been set to the intake stroke such that it is the first cylinder to provide a combustion stroke during a restart.
