Title Filtering and tailoring multimedia content based on observed user behavior
Abstract A user is given the ability to control the display of content items such as advertisements, by
for example skipping over content items that are not of interest. Metadata tags associated
with non-skipped viewings of content are stored and tracked. Subsequently, candidate content
items are scored according to their metadata tags, giving higher scores to candidate content
items associated with higher occurrences of non-skipped viewings. The higher-scoring candidate
content items can then be favored over other candidate content items. Thus, based on the choices
the user makes with respect to skipping or not skipping particular content items, inferences are
made as to the user’s level of interest in various subjects, and subsequent content items are
delivered in a personalized manner to the user.

Title Method and apparatus for variable accuracy inter-picture timing specification for digital video
encoding with reduced requirements for division operations
Abstract A method and apparatus for performing motion estimation in a digital video system is disclosed.
Specifically, the present invention discloses a system that quickly calculates estimated motion
vectors in a very efficient manner. In one embodiment, a first multiplicand is determined by
multiplying a first display time difference between a first video picture and a second video
picture by a power of two scale value. This step scales up a numerator for a ratio. Next, the
system determines a scaled ratio by dividing that scaled numerator by a second first display time
difference between said second video picture and a third video picture. The scaled ratio is then
stored calculating motion vector estimations. By storing the scaled ratio, all the estimated motion
vectors can be calculated quickly with good precision since the scaled ratio saves significant bits
and reducing the scale is preformed by simple shifts.

estimate, which is derived from the complexity indicators. A second quantizer parameter is
proposed from a linear regression analysis of quantizer parameters used to code previously coded
pictures of similar type (e.g., I pictures, P pictures or B pictures). A coding policy decision unit
defines a final quantizer parameter from a comparison of the two proposed quantizer parameters.

the default assignment policies. The selection of refresh pixel groups may be based on prediction
relationships among multiple frames of source video data. The default coding of the refresh pixel
groups is then modified to enhanced the coding of the refresh pixel groups. The refresh pixel
groups may permit fewer intra (I) frames be sent and/or may improve the quality of the recovered
video.

extends from the periphery of the cover towards the frame and circuit board. To minimize the
space taken by the EMI shields, the snaps of adjacent covers may be offset or staggered so that
opposing snaps engage voids left between snaps of the opposing cover, thus reducing the space
needed between adjacent EMI shields by up to the width of a snap.

Title Electromagnetic shielding in small-form-factor device
Abstract In a device having a circuit board bearing one or more components requiring electromagnetic
shielding, and having a subassembly with a conductive backplane, the circuit board is mounted
beneath that backplane. Each component or group of components requiring shielding is
surrounded by a grounded shielding can having an open top. Conductive spring fingers, aligned
with the walls of the can, are formed in or on the backplane. When the device is assembled, the
backplane closes the can. The spring fingers press against, or interengage with, the tops of the
can walls, electrically bridging any gap resulting from assembly tolerances.
