  • Automated network link repair
    Patent number: 11271798
    Abstract: A system may identify, by a first service, one or more faulted data links associated with a network device of the datacenter and update, by a second service, a configuration of the network device to remove data traffic from the identified one or more faulted data links based on a redundancy threshold associated with the network device. The system may also generate a repair ticket message associated with the identified one or more faulted data links and transmit test traffic across the identified one or more faulted data links while monitoring for a repair ticket resolution message associated with repairing the identified one or more faulted data links.

  • Method and apparatus for secure radio frequency identification tag
    Patent number: 9087284
    Abstract: An approach is provided for securing information stored on a radio frequency identification tag. An apparatus includes a radio frequency identification tag having a first state in which a carrier signal from a reader does not activate the radio frequency identification tag and a second state in which the carrier signal from a reader does activate the radio frequency identification tag to allow retrieval of information stored on the radio frequency identification tag by the reader.

  • Method and system for establishing autofocus based on priority
    Patent number: 9077888
    Abstract: An approach for enabling the autofocus feature of a camera to be directed towards priority targets within a frame is described. A camera retrieves a stored object image. An autofocus platform then compares an object viewed by the camera within a scene with the stored object image. The autofocus platform then determines a focus point within the scene based on the comparison. The image is captured by the camera using the determined focus point.
