Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product for enabling improved perception of the surrounding environment by a visually impaired subject is disclosed. A controller executing an enhanced environment sensing (EES) utility/module receives images of a scene surrounding the subject from a camera integrated within glasses (also referred to as spectacles) worn by the subject. The controller identifies objects within the captured images and determines the position and motion of the detected objects relative to the subject. The controller relays to the subject indication of the detected object(s) and relative position/motion via sensory responses in the form of tactile, haptic, vibratory, thermal and/or audio feedback via a sensory output device.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide novel methods for performing services for machines operating in one or more datacenters. For instance, for a group of related guest machines (e.g., a group of tenant machines), some embodiments define two different forwarding planes: (I) a guest forwarding plane and (2) a service forwarding plane. The guest forwarding plane connects to the machines in the group and performs L2 and/or L3 forwarding for these machines. The service forwarding plane (1) connects to the service nodes that perform services on data messages sent to and from these machines, and (2) forwards these data messages to the service nodes. In some embodiments, the guest machines do not connect directly with the service forwarding plane.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for visual display of images of real shelvings with products for analysis of shelving contents. There are provided methods for constructing a shelving front panorama. A method comprises: capturing color image frames of the shelving, displaying the shelving and its contents; reconstructing a shelving 3D model based of depth data and capturing device position data for each frame; determining a projection plane corresponding to the shelving front edge; stitching the color image frames of the shelving by projective transformation of each color image frame of the shelving onto the projection plane. The resulting shelving front panorama displays the shelving and its contents. The disclosure eliminates the need for observing frontal orientation of each shelving image frame when capturing images of the shelving; the capturing can be made along an arbitrary path.

Abstract: A system supporting remote sensing of information may include a processing capability configured for determining differences between the sensed information and a baseline condition, such as a base map of information. The determined differences from the baseline condition may be communicated over communication link (e.g., a wireless communication link, a satellite communication link), which may be referred to as or be otherwise associated with a “delta coding” of information sensed by the remote sensor system. In some examples, delta coding may support a smaller transfer of information over a communication link than communicating an entirety of sensed information. By communicating such difference information, the remote sensor system may accordingly support updating information more efficiently, more frequently, more rapidly, or more reliably, among other benefits.

The flag may be carried in a TTL field or traffic class field of the label such that the MPLS label stack is not altered to trigger the monitoring operation.
