| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 8154776 | Bitstream format for compressed image data It is desirable to provide a bitstream format for compressed data that would allow multiple processors to access and decompress different parts of the data in parallel. Compressed images are usually defined in terms of macroblocks that have a width less than the ima... | 04/10/2012 |
| 8140755 | Computer system and process for transferring multiple high bandwidth streams of data between multiple storage units and multiple applications in a scalable and reliable manner Multiple applications request data from multiple storage units over a computer network. The data is divided into segments and each segment is distributed randomly on one of several storage units, independent of the storage units on which other segments of the media ... | 03/20/2012 |
| 8093481 | Systems and methods for automatic collision avoidance, grouping and alignment of musical symbols Systems and methods for editing a computer-base musical score include detecting a collision between objects placed in the score and automatically moving one of the colliding objects out of the way to eliminate the collision. Selection of the object to be moved is ba... | 01/10/2012 |
| 8082226 | Using user context information to select media files for a user in a distributed multi-user digital media system In a distributed or multi-user system, it is possible for a user to try to access a media file that is not optimal for the user's purposes. In other words, the best quality version of some source material might not be the most optimal version for all users. For exam... | 12/20/2011 |
| 8023568 | Capture, editing and encoding of motion pictures encoded with repeating fields or frames An image sequence captured at a first image rate is encoded as an encoded image sequence at a second image rate with information in the encoded image sequence indicative of images that are repeated when decoded. To assist in editing a video program using the encoded... | 09/20/2011 |
| 8001088 | Indexing media files in a distributed, multi-user system for managing and editing digital media A scalable infrastructure indexes and tracks media data and metadata in a distributed, multi-user system. An indexer is associated with particular storage locations, such as a disk, or a directory on a disk, to maintain an index of media files or metadata stored in ... | 08/16/2011 |
| 7973800 | Source color modification on a digital nonlinear editing system A system and method for generating a representation of a color modification to be applied to segments on a digital nonlinear editing system, where each segment is a component of a media composition, and represents a section of a digital media. An indication of a mod... | 07/05/2011 |
| 7949777 | Communication protocol for controlling transfer of temporal data over a bus between devices in synchronization with a periodic reference signal A communication protocol over the serial bus allows a peripheral device to control the flow of data between a host computer and the peripheral device so as to maintain synchronization to a periodic reference signal. The protocol involves transferring flow control me... | 05/24/2011 |
| 7930624 | Editing time-based media with enhanced content Creation of a program with interactive content and time-based media would be improved by having several people working simultaneously on both the interactive content and the time-based media. The range of types of data that can be associated with the time-based medi... | 04/19/2011 |
| 7919707 | Musical sound identification Systems and methods for identifying musical sounds are provided. In one implementation, a method includes receiving a collection of sound identifiers. Each sound identifier in the collection identifies a sound. Each sound identifier is associated with a correspondin... | 04/05/2011 |
| 7917696 | Computer system and process for transferring multiple high bandwidth streams of data between multiple storage units and multiple applications in a scalable and reliable manner Multiple applications request data from multiple storage units over a computer network. The data is divided into segments and each segment is distributed randomly on one of several storage units, independent of the storage units on which other segments of the media ... | 03/29/2011 |
| 7916363 | Bitstream format for compressed image data It is desirable to provide a bitstream format for compressed data that would allow multiple processors to access and decompress different parts of the data in parallel. Compressed images are usually defined in terms of macroblocks that have a width less than the ima... | 03/29/2011 |
| 7863511 | System for and method of generating audio sequences of prescribed duration A system and method for automatically generating a composed audio output sequence of a prescribed, utilizing a unique marker syntax that provides compatibility with MIDI standards and permits musical integrity preservation during automatic audio output sequence gene... | 01/04/2011 |
| 7844775 | Distribution of data in a distributed shared storage system Segments or blocks of a file can be distributed among an number n of storage units by using a function of sequentially assigned segment identifiers for each segment, where the function is reduced modulo n, so long as the function is not congruent to segment identifi... | 11/30/2010 |
| 7836389 | Editing system for audiovisual works and corresponding text for television news An audiovisual editing system that permits a journalist and other editors to edit both audiovisual and corresponding text segments included in a story. The data structure representing a story includes a list of media segments and a list of corresponding text segment... | 11/16/2010 |
| 7830413 | Combined editing system and digital moving picture recording system A moving picture recording device includes a random-access, computer-readable and writable storage medium to provide non-linear access to recorded clips.
