  • Patent number: 10701321
    Abstract: A system and method for distributed analysis of image data in a video surveillance system can be deployed in households, businesses, and within corporate entities, in examples. The image data are processed on local video analytics systems located within the networks of the businesses or on remote video analytics systems hosted by a cloud service. To limit the data traffic imposed by the image data on the network, the system divides the image data processing into separate object detection and analysis functions. The system can also integrate the object detection function within the surveillance cameras or on a local gateway. This can significantly reduce the data traffic sent over networks as compared to current video surveillance systems and methods since only image data containing object of interest needs to be sent.

  • Publication number: 20200008306
    Abstract: A circuit board is formed from a non-catalytic laminate coated with an optically curable catalytic adhesive, which, after curing with an optical source such as UV, has a resin rich surface with catalytic particles dispersed below a surface exclusion depth. The catalytic laminate is subjected to a drilling and blanket surface plasma etch operation to expose the catalytic particles, followed by an electroless plating operation which deposits a thin layer of conductive material on the surface. A photo-masking step follows to define circuit traces, after which an electro-plating deposition occurs, followed by a resist strip operation and a quick etch to remove electroless copper which was previously covered by photoresist.

  • Patent number: 9631279
    Abstract: A printed circuit board includes a laminate substrate. The laminate substrate includes catalytic core material that resists metal plating except where a surface of the catalytic material is ablated. Metal traces are formed within in trace channels within the laminate substrate. The channels extend below the surface of the catalytic material.
