Abstract:
A method, system and computer software product for managing jitter buffering that accurately measures network latency, the variation in latency (also known as jitter), and efficiently manages the media packet stream and jitter buffers is disclosed. A framer time-stamps incoming packets. A traffic analyzer maintains a sliding window of statistics generated from a recent set of packets. A jitter manager monitors packets, receives and makes adjustments based on information received from the traffic analyzer, and manages any connected jitter buffers.
Abstract:
In connection with the play of conventional keno games, both live keno games and mechanical or electronic keno gaming machines, the player is provided with the opportunity to win a "bad beat" bonus payout. The player uses a single keno ticket, and may be required to make an optional side bet wager to be eligible for the "bad beat" bonus payout or the player may be eligible simply by participating in the conventional keno game. If the player is "jackpot qualified" and the player plays at least five consecutive games of keno using the same keno ticket, the player wins a special payout.
Abstract:
A system for interacting with a person browsing a web site has an Internet-connected server and a connected data repository, and software executing on the server from a non-transitory physical medium. The software provides an identity function identifying the person, a selection function checking the data repository for stored information regarding the identified person, including any tracking rules associated with the identified person, and one or more tracking functions monitoring and recording behavior of the person browsing the web site. The one or more tracking functions follow the tracking rules, if any, associated with the identified person in monitoring and recording behavior of the browsing person.
Abstract:
A ranking system ranks visitors to a Web site using one or more instances of machine-readable code executable from a digital medium accessible to a Web server. The code tracks visitor behavior while browsing the web site, and a visitor ranking module resident on the digital medium accepts information documented by the one or more instances of machine readable code and assigns rank values to one or more of the visitors. The ranking module ranks visitors at the Web-site based on logic and rules for interpreting visitor behavior and for applies a value to the visitor in real time based on that interpretation, and values applied at or above a preprogrammed level trigger solicitation of the visitor so ranked to engage in interaction including live assistance.
Abstract:
A method, system, and computer program product for routing network traffic (calls in a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)), which expands the capabilities of existing systems by providing faster and more efficient direction of network traffic, is disclosed. A routing management system includes a routing manager which maintains a list of local routes, establishes and manages connections to the routing server(s), exports routes to the routing server(s), imports disseminated routes from the routing server(s), obtains static global and dynamic routes from the routing server(s), caches those routes for future use, finds all matching routes for a particular number dialed by the user, and prioritizing those routes based on timing, access and ordering information. An additional embodiment contains at least one routing server which provides look-up services for gateway server(s), allows export of local routes from gateway server(s), and distributes translation data; and at least one gateway server which handles calls received on either the Internet protocol (IP) or traditional telephony networks. The gateway server bridges calls between the different kinds of networks, interacts with users, interfaces with the routing system.
Abstract:
A system for measurement and analysis of pipeline contaminants is provided. The system includes a first assembly for engaging a pipeline from which a first fluid flow sample may be isokinetically collected for measurement of aerosol contaminants. The system also includes a second assembly for engaging the pipeline from which a second fluid flow sample may be collected for chromatographic analysis of the aerosol contaminants. The system may further include a third assembly for engaging the pipeline from which a fluid flow sample may be obtained for measurement of solid contaminants. Information on aerosol contaminants and solid contaminants can subsequently be used to select an appropriate extraction technology to control the presence of aerosol and solid contaminants within the pipeline. Information from the chromatographic analysis, on the other hand, may be used to identify the origin of the aerosol contaminants, so that corrective measures can be implemented to minimize the presence of aerosol contaminants within the pipeline. A method for measurement and analysis of pipeline contaminants is also provided.

Abstract:
A method of determining the location of an ingested capsule comprising the steps of providing an ingestible capsule (15) having a shell (16) and a flexible fluid retaining sleeve (17) affixed to the sleeve and defining a chamber (19) between the shell and the sleeve, the fluid retaining sleeve having a fill port (30), providing a radioactive material (22) contained in a filling device (31) having an output port (32) adapted to engage the fill port of the sleeve, engaging the output port of the filling device with the fill port of the sleeve, moving the radioactive material through the output port and into the chamber of the sleeve through the sleeve fill port, sealing the fill port to provide a radio-labeled ingestible capsule, having a subject ingest the radio-labeled capsule, and screening the subject by gamma imagining to determine location of the radio-labeled capsule within the subject.
