  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CHARACTERIZING MOVEMENT OF AN OBJECT
    Publication number: 20140072181
    Abstract: Motion of an object is characterized based on data indicative of a plurality of pixilated images of the object. An outline of the object may be extracted from the data for each pixilated image of the object. Changes over time in a shape and/or position of the outline may be used to determine a speed associated with the object.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 14, 2013
    Publication date: March 13, 2014

  • Method and apparatus for controlling bandwidth in a switched broadband multipoint/multimedia network
    Patent number: 6452924
    Abstract: The present invention provides broadband multimedia communication over the standard circuit-switched public switched telephone network infrastructure (PSTN) and other physical or virtual circuit-switched infrastructures while simultaneously and transparently interoperating with the public Internet packet-switched infrastructure to effectively merge the capabilities of the two types of infrastructures into a seamless capability that can bring the benefits of using both types of existing switching infrastructures to large groups of users under the control of the same common and simple interface tools such as web browsers. The invention enables users to establish both packet-switched connections for sending or receiving content for which low-latency and unpredictable response times are not a problem (i.e.
