  • Patent number: 11809675
    Abstract: A method for analyzing and displaying surveillance video including: capturing, using a first video camera, a first plurality of video frames of a first area at a first time; analyzing the first plurality of video frames or linking to one or more alarms received; determining a first activity of interest within one or more first video frames of the first plurality of video frames; generating a first activity of interest video clip from the one or more first video frames; and displaying the first activity of interest video clip within a first carousel on a display device, wherein the first activity of interest video clip is configured to rotate around a first axis within the first carousel on the display device.

  • Patent number: 8000942
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a design methodology used in manufacturing a broaching tool for cutting slots in aerospace disk applications. The method includes modeling geometry of the slot and the broach tool, which is based upon an initial minimum tooth rise that is determined empirically for the particular disk material. The number of broach inserts and teeth per insert is calculated, and the broach inserts are modeled. The stresses and deformation of the lug are calculated in a finite elements environment based upon simulated incremental broach tool movements. If the lug is not within specifications based upon design constraints, then the broach tool is revised and the simulations are repeated until the slot is within the desired specifications.

  • Patent number: 5361358
    Abstract: A method, system and process for installing an application under a first operating system and translating the installation parameters into a set of similar parameters to assure proper execution under a second operating system. The invention prompts a user for selection of preferences for an initial operating system and stores the initial selections representing a user's requirements under the initial operating system. Then, the hardware is examined to ascertain a list of all bootable devices and the operating systems associated therewith. The list of bootable devices is presented to the user for selection of which operating systems the application should be enabled under. Finally, the application is enabled in accordance with the information stored in the initial selections on each of the selected bootable devices and the operating systems associated with the bootable device.
