摘要： A method and apparatus for information labeling and control includes central station equipment which combines a program signal with content labels which separately and continuously identify the audio, video, and data content of the program signal, and user station equipment which generates a local content label identifying program material which is acceptable to the user. By comparing the two labels the user station equipment can block or substitute alternative audio, video, or data for offensive portions of a program signal received through a transmission or stored for playback on various media such as video tapes, audio tapes, CDs, computer disks, optical storage media, and video game cartridges. Exemplary embodiments of the invention also relate to a method and apparatus for creating the local content label.

摘要： Methods and containers for preserving a product such as a respiratory product having an internal vapor pressure. The product is placed into an enclosure, and the enclosure is sealed and pressured with appropriately humidified air or other suitable oxygen containing gas to a positive pressure with respect to ambient pressure to provide a vapor pressure greater than or at least equal to the internal vapor pressure of the product. The volume of the product in relation to the volume of the enclosure and the pressure are such that the enclosure has free air space sufficient to prevent the onset of an anaerobic condition for substantially the storage period of the product assuming the enclosure is maintained approximately at a predetermined temperature. The temperature of the enclosure may be controlled, and may be maintained below the normal freezing temperature of water, and preferably below the normal liquid to solid phase change temperature of the product, but is maintained above the liquid to solid phase change temperature of the product under pressure in the enclosure. Various pressurized packaging methods and structures also are disclosed.

摘要： A method and system for providing subscription services, particularly subscription television services, involving transmissions from a remote location to a subscriber location for which payment is required for access. A cost signal containing a cost or charge associated with the transmissions is transmitted from the remote location, and a credit preferably is stored at the subscriber location. The magnitude of the charge contained in the cost signal is compared with the magnitude of the stored credit, although it need not be if cost is accumulated as in one disclosed embodiment, and access by the subscriber to the transmissions associated with the cost signal is enabled in response to the relative magnitudes of the charge and the stored credit. The magnitude of stored credit is modified by the magnitude of the charge if the subscriber chooses to access to the transmissions by the subscriber. Also, credit data associated with a payment made by an individual subscriber is transmitted from the remote location and the stored credit at the location of the individual subscriber is modified in response to the transmitted credit data. An indicator on the subscriber's decoder is automatically energized at the end of a billing period to inform the subscriber that payment is due. Upon receipt by the station operator of the payment and crediting of the payment to the subscriber, the indicator is automatically extinguished. The disclosed impulse purchase capability is particularly useful in a pay television system involving transmission for which payment for access is pre-arranged at a fixed level and transmissions for which payment for access is not pre-arranged at a fixed level.
