  • Publication number: 20090244287
    Abstract: A video monitoring system for monitoring one or more video cameras. The video cameras each supply a video stream to a hub. A computer in communication with the hub obtains information from each of the video cameras and allows a user to arrange the video streams on one or more video displays. Multiple video streams may be displayed on a single video display and a single video stream may be displayed on multiple video displays.

  • Patent number: 7181651
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that detects a failure sequence that leads to undesirable computer system behavior and that subsequently takes a corresponding remedial action. During operation, the system receives instrumentation signals from the computer system while the computer system is operating. The system then uses these instrumentation signals to determine if the computer system is in a failure sequence that is likely to lead to undesirable system behavior, such as a system crash, wherein the determination involves considering predetermined multivariate correlations between multiple instrumentation signals and a failure sequence that is likely to lead to undesirable system behavior. Next, if the computer system is in a failure sequence that is likely to lead to undesirable system behavior, the system takes a remedial action.
