System and method of establishing a communication link between lead and remote vehicles of a consist
Patent number: 12195054Abstract: A system and method includes a first control system having one or more processors onboard a lead vehicle of a vehicle system that includes the lead vehicle and a remote vehicle. The second control system automatically restricts movement of the vehicle system based on a location of the vehicle system. The processors detect a signal instance of an operator actuating an input device, and communicate a vehicle information request message to the second control system. The second control system communicates a list of vehicle identifiers, that includes a vehicle identifier associated with the remote vehicle, to the processors. The processors communicate a wireless linking message, including a request to establish a communication link, to the remote vehicle based on the vehicle identifier associated with the remote vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2022Date of Patent: January 14, 2025Assignee: Transportation IP Holdings, LLCInventors: Jared Klineman Cooper, Brian Joseph McManus, Frank Wawrzyniak, Ralph C.

Publication number: 20240350222Abstract: Non-adhesive medical attachment articles include a first rotationally distinct segment (110), where the first rotational segment has a circular or semi-circular array of angled microneedles (111), and a second rotationally distinct segment, (120) with a second sequential circular or semi-circular array of angled microneedles (121). A communication member (130) connects the two rotationally distinct segments. The arrays of microneedles are angled in opposite directions, and the segments rotate in opposite directions.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2022Publication date: October 24, 2024Inventors: Del R.

Patent number: 7266241Abstract: An ellipsoid chroma region of a chroma plane may be defined to specify a range of chromas for which a secondary chroma modification is to be applied, and to determine an output chroma for each chroma of the chroma plane based on the ellipsoid chroma region. Further, two or more different-shaped chroma regions of a chroma plane may be defined and manipulated, each chroma region specifying a range of chroma for which a secondary chroma modification is to be applied, and to determine an output chroma for each chroma of the chroma plane based on the two or more different-shaped chroma regions. Also, chroma-matching techniques may be used to define and manipulate the chroma region of a chroma plane that specifies a range of chroma for which a secondary chroma modification is to be applied, and an output chroma may be determined for each chroma of the chroma plane based on the chroma region.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2005Date of Patent: September 4, 2007Assignee: Avid Technology, Inc.Inventors: Brian C. Cooper, Robert Gonsalves, Robert Alan Paoni

Patent number: 6810157Abstract: To enable a user to rapidly identify one or more sets of values for parameters of an operation, templates are generated dynamically from sets of values already used for these parameters in content available to the system. Each unique set of values may be extracted from the currently available content. Each of these sets of values may be sorted, for example, by recent modification date, for presentation to a user. The user may then select a set of values from among those displayed for use in the operation.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2000Date of Patent: October 26, 2004Assignee: Avid Technology, Inc.Inventor: Brian C.

Patent number: 6392710Abstract: A non-linear video editing system includes a graphical user interface to facilitate editing of video clips in a composition. The system includes the ability to display and edit a video frame on a field-by-field basis. Each field can be edited separately from the other field of the same frame. Additionally, inter-field jitter, present when fields are displayed individually, is removed by determining which field includes the top-most line of the frame and adjusting accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 1998Date of Patent: May 21, 2002Assignee: Avid Technology, Inc.Inventors: Robert Gonsalves, Brian C.

Patent number: 6201531Abstract: The invention provides a mechanism and process for changing a color of an image. In this process, a source frame that includes the image is received. An alpha matte that covers an object in the source frame is created. An original color of a pixel in the source frame is changed when the pixel is covered by the alpha matte, and when a color distance between the original color of the pixel and a target color is below a predetermined threshold.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2000Date of Patent: March 13, 2001Assignee: Avid Technology, Inc.Inventors: Robert Gonsalves, Chia-Sheng Chou, Brian C.

Patent number: 5729673Abstract: A video editing method that includes displaying a two-dimensional projection of a representation of a projection surface. This projection is derived from a three-dimensional position of the surface. A handle is displayed attached to the projection, and the position of the surface is updated in a manner corresponding to the displacement of a cursor at the handle. The method further includes displaying a second projection derived from the updated position, and redisplaying the handle attached to it.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 1995Date of Patent: March 17, 1998Assignee: Avid Technology, Inc.Inventors: Brian C.
