  • Systems and methods for triggering an out of focus alert
    Patent number: 8902366
    Abstract: In order to trigger an out of focus alert when the focus level of a video frame meets a focus criteria, a method is performed including the operations of: receiving a video frame, partitioning the video frame into a plurality of blocks, calculating an array of discrete cosign transformation (DCT) coefficients for at least one of the plurality of blocks using a DCT, classifying each of the at least one of the plurality of blocks based on the array of DCT coefficients for that block, calculating a focus level of the video frame from the block classifications, and triggering an out of focus alert if the focus level meets a focus criteria.

  • Rate controlled broadcast for activation of entities in large scale data networks
    Patent number: 6130877
    Abstract: A broadcast methodology for activation of virtual circuits in a large scale data network at a controlled rate is disclosed. The method includes, at a node within the network, alternate steps of broadcasting activation signals for a predetermined number of the of virtual circuits and delaying a time interval. The alternate steps are repeated until all the activation signals have been broadcast.
