Abstract: A method for determining updates in a building management system (BMS) is shown. The method includes receiving, via an on premise server, configuration data associated with at least part of the BMS. The method includes storing the configuration data within a cloud server communicably coupled with the on premise server. The method includes determining, via a difference engine within the cloud server, information comprising a delta between the configuration data and one or more previous sets of configuration data stored within the cloud server. The method includes providing, to the on premise server, the information to an interface.

Abstract: A BSMC for use with a scanner comprises a processor, a network port coupled to the processor, a scanner interface port coupled to the processor which receives data from the scanner interface port and transmits messages based on the received data to the network port. Scanning system are also disclosed with one or more scanners and one or more BSMCs communicating via a network with a web browser.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of compositing multiple images together preferably to display a composite 3-dimensional image of a user's face combined with a new hair style for the user. The method executed by the present invention includes the steps of initially receiving a 3-dimensional image of a hair style and a 3-dimensional image of the user's face. An initial pixel from a foreground hair layer image is combined with an initial corresponding pixel of a face image and an initial corresponding pixel from a background hair layer image. This process continues to generate a composite 3-dimensional image illustrating the user's face with the hair style pictured.
