  • Patent number: 11496814
    Abstract: Method, system and computer program product for providing additional information to a handheld device (HHD) about a displayed point of interest in video programming displayed on a multimedia display. A image of the video programming captured by a HHD camera can be used at a remote server to identify the video programming by matching it with archived programming. If identified, additional information related to the video programming can be obtained/provided. A region within a particular frame of displayed video programming can be selected at the HHD to access additional information about a point of interest associated with the region. The additional information can be displayed on the HHD or a secondary display, in response to selecting the region to access the additional information from a remote server.

  • Publication number: 20190373137
    Abstract: Blockchannel systems use encryption and block chains to create channels between sensors and monitors such as data rendering devices. For example, a document scanner (sensor) creates encrypted documents by scanning items, encrypting the scans, and publishing using a blockchain. A second device, such as a printer, actively monitors the blockchain looking for documents it can decrypt, decrypts them, and prints them. This technique negates much of the present day access coordination because the printer doesn't require a print server or print queue. A publicly accessible blockchain can be print server and print queue for every printer without requiring trust between printers, scanners, or other devices having access to the blockchain. The sensor can be a document scanner, sensor, video recorder, environmental sensor, intrusion detector, etc. The monitor can be a data rending device (printer, electronic display), data analysis equipment, fire alarm, intrusion alarm, alarm monitor, data fusion system, Al, etc.

  • Publication number: 20170188567
    Abstract: A convenient electronic sound producing device is an electronic sound producing device that is physically configured to be easy to use in the field. A control module faces the use while the sound is projected away from the user. A pistol grip can be used to ease holding and using the call. A remote can further ease operation and allow control from a distance. A timer allows for nearly autonomous operation. Control modules can be fixed to a firearm, bow, crossbow, or camera to minimize the user's movement while simultaneously calling and preparing for a shot. A pinning hole or a stake can allow for reliably fixing the sound producing device to a surface, to vegetation, or to other objects.

  • Publication number: 20120106924
    Abstract: Video content is a time varying presentation of scenes or video frames. Each frame can contain a number of scene elements such as actors, foreground items, background items, or other items. A person enjoying video content can select a scene element by specifying a screen coordinate while the video content plays. Frame specification data identifies the specific frame or scene being displayed when the coordinate is selected. The coordinate in combination with the frame specification data is sufficient to identify the scene element that the person has chosen. Information about the scene element can then be presented to the person. An annotation database can relate the scene elements to the frame specification data and coordinates.

  • Publication number: 20040181768
    Abstract: Methods and computer program for determining a model pattern of a diffracting structure for use in semiconductor metrology, in which methods a series of process steps to be employed in fabrication of a diffracting structure, such as a diffracting structure fabricated on a semiconductor substrate employing a lithographic process, are specified, and each such specified process step is successively simulated to produce a model pattern of the diffracting structure. The methods further provides for generation of libraries of model patterns and simulated diffraction signatures based thereon, and optionally further provides for comparing diffraction signatures of measured diffracting structures to simulated diffraction signatures of members of the set of model patterns of the diffracting structure, selection of one or more close match simulated diffraction signatures, and deriving one or more parameters associated with the measured diffracting structures.

  • Patent number: 6728663
    Abstract: A method of pruning a reference library of signatures and corresponding known structure parameter vectors, each signature composed of a reference signal vector, including, for a given reference signal vector, interpolating a parameter vector and deleting the given reference signal vector and the corresponding parameter vector for a sufficiently small interpolation error. Also a method of accessing an indexed reference library of signatures and corresponding known structure parameter vectors, each signature comprising a reference signal vector, including acquiring an unknown signal, calculating an index vector for the unknown signal; determining error between the index vector for the unknown signal and a calculated reference signal index vector of the library; and thereby identifying as a match candidate for the unknown signal a reference signal vector.
