Patent number: 10624086Abstract: A security network provides reduced power consumption and more robust communication of messages in comparison to conventional wireless systems. Reducing power consumption as discussed herein ensures that the security system is able to operate for a long duration of time, potentially with minimal or no power from an electrical grid. Additionally, redundant communication paths as discussed herein provide a more robust way of selectively forwarding security data to a remote server. The availability of multiple communication paths ensures that a respective remote target recipient such as a server resource or remote communication device operated by a user can be notified of a trigger event during power failure conditions, such as when certain communication functionality of a security system is disabled.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2017Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: A9.COM, INC.Inventors: Stephen E. Gordon, Peter D. Besen, Julian I. Gorfajn, Douglas M. Chin

Patent number: 9984472Abstract: An image processing system receives a sequence of frames including a current input frame and a next input frame (the next input frame is captured subsequent in time with respect to capturing of the current input frame). The image processing system stores a previously outputted output frame. The previously outputted output frame is derived from previously processed input frames in the sequence. The image processing modifies the current input frame based on detected first motion and second motion. The first motion is detected based on an analysis of the current input frame with respect to the next input frame. The second motion is detected based on an analysis of the current input frame with respect to the previously outputted output frame. According to one configuration, the image processing system implements multi-sized analyzer windows to more precisely detect the first motion and second motion.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2014Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: A9.COM, INC.Inventors: Daniel B. Grunberg, Anantharanga Prithviraj, Douglas M. Chin, Peter D. Besen

Patent number: 9007495Abstract: One example configuration as discussed herein includes a multi-stage image processing system. A first stage image processor in the multi-stage image processing system analyzes a first window of settings produced by an array of sensor elements in an image sensor. The first stage image processor scales one or more color ranges to detect defective sensor elements and produces corrective values on an as-needed basis. A second stage image-processing resource processes a second window of settings including original settings and/or substitute settings as produced by the first stage image processor. The second stage image processor applies a debayering algorithm to the second window of values to produce final display settings for the sensor elements.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2012Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Immedia Semiconductor, Inc.Inventors: Douglas M.

Patent number: 4932243Abstract: A method of determining the moisture content of a material in which the material is caused to flow continually through a sensor region, the spatially averaged temperature of the material being continually determined independently of the dynamic thermal response of the material. The loss and capacitance of the sensor is also continually determined, the moisture content of the material than being determined in response to the spatially averaged temperature and the loss and capacitance determinations independently of changes in the packing density of the material as it continually flows through the sensor region.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 1989Date of Patent: June 12, 1990Assignee: Axiomatics CorporationInventors: Nam P. Suh, Francis A. Waldman, Richard E. von Turkovich, Douglas M. Chin, Thomas H. Lee
