Abstract: Nodes on a wide area network (“WAN”) such as the Internet may communicate with multiple Internet Protocol Version 6 (“IPv6”) nodes on a private network despite the lack of domain name service (“DNS”) server support. The nodes on the private network may obtain router advertisements and utilize this information to generate IPv6 addresses (6-to-4 addresses). A detection process may detect these IPv6 addresses and create web pages including these addresses. When the nodes on the WAN attempt to reach the private nodes using an address of the gateway separating the WAN from the private network, the nodes may instead reach the web pages created by the detection process. These web pages may redirect the nodes to communicate with each of the private nodes using their respective IPv6 addresses.

Abstract: A method for managing data in a video sequence includes estimating a frame rate of the video sequence using time stamps of instructions received from an application program interface. A number of bits is allocated for encoding frames in the video sequence according to a data rate and the frame rate.

Abstract: An image processing system with a quality assurance feature is disclosed for determining the quality of the images being processed. The system includes a plurality of sections operating independently and concurrently to insure reliability. One section includes calculation of a quality assurance parameter dependent on the fill factor and the compression ratio determined before and after compression respectively. A second section includes histogram hardware for generating qualified histograms representative of foreground data, and background data transitions and a comparator for detecting overlap therebetween. A third section develops a histogram parameter based on the areas of the histograms and compares this parameter to the quality assurance parameter for concurrence. The system also includes autosizing means for detecting the borders of an image using fuzzy logic.
