Method and system for providing alternative, less-intrusive advertising that appears during fast forward playback of a recorded video program

A digital video recorder can be used to allow users to fast forward through segments of a recorded video signal, such as commercial breaks, while still allowing the advertiser a limited opportunity to present an advertising message. Frames from the commercial recorded with the video signal are electronically tagged. When the processor of the digital video recorder finds a tagged frame or frames during a fast forward operation, the processor may display the tagged frame as a static image during the fast forward operation or may play the series of tagged frames at normal speed as a condensed video clip during the fast forward operation. Thus, through a static image or a condensed video clip, an advertiser can present an advertising message, while the user may still skip the full-length commercials as quickly as before.

System and method for creating electronic real estate registration

A system for providing a registered land asset includes a property transaction database in communication with a computer network the property transaction database provides information related to transactions associated with each registered land asset parcel, each land parcel having a registered land asset identifier representing global coordinates particular to the parcel. The system also includes a location characteristic database in communication with the computer network. The location characteristic database provides socioeconomic data regarding the location wherein the land parcel associated with the registered land asset is situated. A registered land asset contract may give a leaseholder an option to purchase the land by the end of a given term. A computer receives data from the property transaction database and the location characteristic database via the computer network and calculates prices and values associated with a registered land asset contract associated with the land parcel and a registered land asset contract is recorded in association with the land asset identifier corresponding to the land parcel in an electronic land title registry in communication with the computer network.

System and method for managing electronic real estate registry information

Electronic real estate registration systems include property transaction and location characteristic databases communicating via computer networks providing information related to transactions associated with registered real property interests linked to publicly recorded documentation that protect legal interests of parties and counterparties engaged in the public exchange of real property rights. Real property rights can be held or owned by a managed asset-titling entity thus share a registered asset identifier providing locational coordinates identifying real property interest assignments and transactional documentation in association with asset underwriting, asset performance, and asset class rating systems. Electronic real estate registry database devices capture, process, store, retrieve, transmit, and report useful and timely information concerning registered property interests, responding in a manner typically associated with exchange traded securities, providing borrowers, creditors, investors and governing regulators ready access to fair and clear valuation, underwriting and transactional records delineated by time, apportionments, and pricing of real property interests.

Computerized system and method for assisting in resolution of litigation discovery in conjunction with the federal rules of practice and procedure and other jurisdictions

A networked data processor maintains a database of information concerning potential evidence from litigants in legal proceedings supporting stipulated discovery agreements, and requiring meet-and-confer sessions prior to seeking court supervision. Individual or adverse parties can participate. Sources include data custodians, file repositories, electronic data, witnesses, etc. Managers and employees are polled to populate a database defining the litigant's organization and evidence. The evidence may be sequestered, copied and processed, e.g., filtered for confidentiality or privilege, analyzed as to format, and queried to assess the volume of data that would be responsive under alternative discovery specifications. Cost and time are assessed under alternative specifications and reports are provided for use in negotiating a discovery plan. A stipulated discovery plan may result, or if not, a meet-and-confer session is electronically managed in a multi-user teleconference.

Auger airlock assembly and end dump housing

An auger airlock assembly and end dump housing having a spring loaded bottom for use in a bulk loader which utilizes a source of negative pressure to create a suction air stream that draws particulate materials into the loader for transfer, via the auger assembly, to a location remote of the loader. Materials exiting the auger assembly accumulate within the housing to a point wherein, once the accumulated material has acquired a certain weight, the bottom of the housing is forced open to permit discharge of the material, and, once the material is removed, and is not present in enough quantity to maintain the bottom of the housing to remain open, the spring loaded connection biases the bottom back into a position sealably closing the housing. The bottom of the housing may also be opened by the auger feeding more material into an already full housing, whereby the material is compressed so as to force the door open. Side portions of the housing limit the opportunity for outside air to enter the airlock assembly during the discharge of materials, maintaining the vacuum suction created by the negative pressure in the auger assembly.
