Publication number: 20130305342Abstract: Generally, aspects of this disclosure are directed to copy protection techniques. Areas in memory may be secured to establish a secure memory area in the memory that is not accessible by unauthorized clients. A request to decode video content stored in the secure memory area may be received. If the video content to be decoded is stored in the secure memory area, a first MMU associated with the hardware decoder may enforce a rule that the video content is to be decoded into one or more output buffers in the secure memory area. A request to display the decoded video content stored in the secure memory area may be received. If the decoded video content is stored in the secure memory area, a second MMU associated with a hardware display processor may enforce a rule that a secure link be established between the hardware display processor and an output device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2012Publication date: November 14, 2013Applicant: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Sudeep Ravi Kottilingal, Gary Arthur Ciambella, Steven John Halter

Patent number: 8553496Abstract: Seismic acquisition systems are disclosed that allow contemporaneous seismic sources to be separated from a composite signal comprising two or more constituent seismic sources. In some embodiments, a representation of the composite signal may be developed that includes a noise contribution of undesired signals present in the composite signal. Additionally, an operator, referred to herein as an “annihilator”, may be developed such that it may be conditioned and inverted to minimize undesired noise contributions in the composite signal. This inversion may assist in recovering the constituent seismic sources from the composite signal. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the accuracy with which the constituent source measurements are approximated may be increased by implementing them as random sweeps having a conventional length.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2010Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Ion Geophysical CorporationInventors: Marvin Glen Michael Decker, Gary Arthur Sitton, Robert Ian Bloor

Publication number: 20130155090Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for reducing power consumption of a display device. According to these techniques, a display device is configured to determine whether an image to be displayed by the display device has become static. In response to identifying such a static image, the display device may operate in a static image mode. According to the static image mode, the display device may read a current frame of image data, modify the current frame of image data to generate a modified frame of image data with a reduced size, and store the modified image data in memory. The display device may read the modified image data from memory to present the static image, which may reduce power consumption of the display device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2011Publication date: June 20, 2013Applicant: QUALCOMM INCORPORATEDInventors: Fariborz Pourbigharaz, Carl Kazumi Mizuyabu, Khosro M.

Patent number: 6741171Abstract: A system for transmitting and verifying alarm signals over a TCP/IP network includes an alarm panel hosting an alarm client and verification server and connected to at least one alarm sensor, a TCP/IP network, an alarm monitor server and a verification station connected to each other and to the TCP/IP network. If the alarm client detects an alarm situation, it transmits an alarm signal to the alarm monitor server. The alarm signal contains information on how to contact the verification server. If it is necessary to verify the alarm signal, the alarm monitor station sends the alarm verification station a verification request containing the contact information for the verification server. The alarm verification station contacts the verification server and obtains the verification information available from the alarm verification server.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2001Date of Patent: May 25, 2004Assignee: Phasys LimitedInventors: Mark Stephan Palka, Gary Arthur Hamilton, Michael Kevin Tulley, Giuseppe Colucciello

Patent number: 6619258Abstract: A system (10) for controllably disabling cylinders in an internal combustion engine (12) includes a throttle (18) controlling air flow to an intake manifold (14), a number of cylinder deactivation devices (1001-100K) and an engine controller (28) controlling fueling (90), ignition timing (94) and throttle position (86). The controller (28) is operable to activate only the minimum number of cylinders required to achieve a desired engine/vehicle operating parameter value, open the throttle (18) to a computed throttle position, control ignition timing sufficiently to drive the current value of the engine/vehicle operating parameter to the desired engine/vehicle operating parameter value, and to then control the flow area of the throttle (18) while also controlling ignition timing to maintain the current value of the engine/vehicle operating parameter near the desired engine/vehicle operating parameter value. The engine/vehicle operating parameter may be engine output torque, engine speed or vehicle speed.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2002Date of Patent: September 16, 2003Assignee: Delphi Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Lee McKay, Gary Arthur Nichols

Patent number: 6522974Abstract: A process for analyzing, decomposing, synthesizing and extracting seismic signal components, such as the fundamental of a pilot sweep or its harmonics, from seismic data uses a set of basis functions. The basis functions may be any of the harmonics or other components derived from the pilot sweep. These basis functions are modulated with the data being analyzed. The resulting data output from the modulation are then low-pass filtered so that the instantaneous amplitude and differential phase of the particular signal component to be synthesized may be computed. Each targeted component is then synthesized and the result subtracted from the remaining data.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2001Date of Patent: February 18, 2003Assignee: Westerngeco, L.L.C.Inventor: Gary Arthur Sitton
