Abstract: A video compression system and method to isolate and capture video data for video compression, thereby eliminating the need for motion vectors and blocks. When data is captured from a video input device, such as a video camera, the data is captured and isolated into clusters of difference image data. The clusters are then scanned, filled, marked, split and blended in in order to compress the video data.

Abstract: The integration of a myriad of modern and legacy systems into a unified logical view is provided. Modern software systems are dependent upon the interaction with and extraction of data from a multitude of distributed systems each generally being accessed by unique credentials using proprietary or vendor-specific protocols. Users faced with the extraction and manipulation of data from these disparate sources must manage multiple login accounts, simultaneously run multiple applications for access and manipulation of data from said sources, and develop new or utilize existing tools for correlation and reporting of data. The present invention provides a single-point interface through which multiple, disparate systems interoperate. User security, communications, information management, searching, reporting, logging, and system maintenance can be performed on any of these systems from a single point provided by this invention.
