Patent number: 9439162Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating reference signatures for use in geolocation in a cellular wireless communication system is provided. A first signature for a mobile communication unit comprises location information, a timestamp, and radio frequency measurement information obtained by a mobile communication unit at a location, but does not contain identification information for the mobile communication unit. The first signature is compared to signatures in a database, to identify a second signature that has a timestamp and radio frequency measurement information that correspond to those of the first signature. A reference signature is created by combining at least a part of the first signature with at least a part of the second signature. Repetition of the comparison and combination steps creates a database of reference signatures, for use in geolocating other received call signatures.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2012Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: Viavi Solutions UK LimitedInventors: Christopher Murphy, Michael Joseph Flnagan, Peter Kenington

Patent number: 9437007Abstract: A binarizing section generates binary image data representing a binary image from raster image data representing a raster image. A white-pixel ratio determining section determines, based on the binary image data, a white pixel ratio for each line of the binary image and a position of each of lines having a white pixel ratio equal to or greater than a predetermined first threshold among the lines of the binary image, and also determines a white pixel ratio for an entirety of the binary image. An image-type determining section determines that the raster image is a photographic image when the white pixel ratio of the entirety of the binary image is equal to or less than a predetermined second threshold, and that the raster image includes a text image when the lines having a white pixel ratio equal to or greater than the first threshold appear cyclically in the binary image.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2015Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: KYOCERA Document Solutions Inc.Inventor: Ryuichi Okumura

Patent number: 9438517Abstract: In a method of identifying matching packets at different locations in a network, a first plurality of packets is received at a first location in the network, and a first subset thereof is selected in accordance with a filter. A second plurality of packets is received at a second location in the network, and a second subset thereof is selected in accordance with the same filter. Each packet in the first and second subsets is parsed to extract invariant header fields from an outermost IP header inwards, until a minimal set of invariant header fields is obtained for that packet, or until it is determined that a minimal set is not obtainable for that packet. A packet signature is computed from the minimal set for each packet having a minimal set, and the packet signatures are compared to identify matching packets in the first and second subsets.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2013Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: Viavi Solutions Inc.Inventors: Lai-chong Chan, Brian Moody
