Abstract: Disclosed is a delivery device for delivering a payload, including a biological, chemical or biochemical substance, to a subject. The delivery device has a nanoparticle loaded with the payload, and porous coating structure over the loaded nanoparticle to prevent the payload from escaping the delivery device, while also preserving the activity of the payload and increasing effective utilization of the payload. Also disclosed is a delivery device for delivering a payload, including a natural virus, recombinant virus, or engineered virus. Also disclosed is a delivery device that has a liposome loaded with the payload and a biocompatible surface coating over the loaded liposome. Also disclosed are methods of fabricating the delivery devices and methods of using the delivery devices in treating health conditions, such as cancer, or in diagnostic applications.

Abstract: An interactive video server which enables multiple clients to independently and interactively extract views from a one or more wide-angle imagery sources is disclosed.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically rotating a view of a wide-angle video camera. Preferred embodiments include automatic rotating of a stereographically projected view using a transformation engine which is capable of extracting a plurality of views under a remote pan tilt zoom (PTZ) control. In one example embodiment, when the center point of a video image of a selected view or region of interest is tilted through a direction which is perpendicular to the plane of the camera mounting (i.e., vertical when the camera is mounted on a ceiling) then the output image is automatically rotated 180 degrees about the pan axis. In preferred embodiments, the control circuitry then temporarily reverses interpretation of the tilt axis controls (for example, from PTZ controls), thereby allowing the view to tilt uninterrupted in the same direction past the auto-pivoting point.

Abstract: Methods and systems for remotely provisioning immediately executable virtualized applications using a peer-to-peer network. Immediately initially executable portions of virtual applications, or additional components of virtual applications, or a combination thereof, are served onto user desktops from other peers on the peer-to-peer network when applications are selected for use.

Abstract: A system for automatically expanding the zoom capability of a wide-angle video camera using images from multiple camera locations. One preferred embodiment achieves this using images from the wide-angle video camera that are analyzed to identify regions of interest (RoI). Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) controls are then sent to aim slave cameras toward the RoI. Processing circuitry is then used to replace the RoI from the wide-angle images with the higher-resolution images from one of the slave cameras. In addition, motion-detecting software can be utilized to automatically detect, track, and/or zoom in on moving objects.
