Abstract: A key frame detector and method having input interface accepting multiple frames including a previous frame and a current frame, a programmable logic chip coupled to the input interface that receives a background frame, determines a similarity based on a comparison of the current frame with the background frame and discards the current frame if the similarity is greater than a predetermined similarity threshold, determines an absolute difference on a pixel by pixel basis between the current frame and the previous frame and discards the current frame if the absolute difference is less than a predetermined absolute difference threshold, determines a wholeness of an object in the current frame and discards the current frame if the object is not whole, determines whether the current frame with the whole object has been previously provisionally selected and discards if it has and analyzes the Whole object via an object detector.

Abstract: A non-volatile memory express over fabric solid state drive mounting device detachably connected to an outer support frame, having a thermally conductive tray, a left support wall demountably connected to the tray, the left support wall having a left guide groove, a right support wall demountably connected to the tray, the right support wall having a right guide groove, a disk slidably engaged within the left support wall left guide groove and the right support wall right guide groove, a circuit board having at least one component, the circuit board demountably connected to the tray and detachably engaged to the disk drive and a flexible heat dissipation pad contacting the at least one component and detachably contacting the tray.

Abstract: Video data stream storage comprising: receiving, by at least one processor, at least one raw video stream that has at least one object, recording, in at least one memory the at least one raw video stream, extracting, by the at least one processor, at least one object characteristic of the at least one object and at least one timestamp associated with the at least one object characteristic and recording, in the at least one memory the at least one object characteristic and the at least one timestamp associated with the at least one object characteristic.

Abstract: A file system for flash memory that stores meta data and user data of a file separately in different types of non-volatile memory. By separating non-user meta data and user data in different types of memory devices, it maximizes the benefits provided by each type of memory devices by storing the proper type of data therein. A memory product managed by such a file system is more competitive than peer products in terms of cost, capacity, endurance and startup time.

Abstract: A distributed computing and storage system, comprising a switch fabric, an input/output interface connected to the switch fabric and a plurality of nodes connected to the switch fabric, each node of the plurality of nodes having a node physical address, each node of the plurality of nodes having a node communication address, which is assigned by the processor inside the node based on the node physical address, each node further comprising at least one processor, at least one memory controller connected to the at least one processor and a plurality of memory devices connected to the at least one memory control.

Abstract: Video data stream storage comprising: receiving, by at least one processor, at least one raw video stream that has at least one object, recording, in at least one memory the at least one raw video stream, extracting, by the at least one processor, at least one object characteristic of the at least one object and at least one timestamp associated with the at least one object characteristic and recording, in the at least one memory the at least one object characteristic and the at least one timestamp associated with the at least one object characteristic

Abstract: A Flash-based memory system comprises of a plurality of memory nodes, each memory node comprises a distributed RAID controller agent, a memory controller, and a plurality of memory devices. All the memory nodes are connected in a ring type topology by one or more high-speed serial communication links. More particularly, in each memory node, the RAID controller agent is closely coupled with the memory controller.
