  • Patent number: 10175665
    Abstract: Various aspects of a method and system for management of an electronic system are disclosed herein. The method includes detection of a plurality of electronic modules configured in a discoverable mode. The plurality of electronic modules is associated with one or more electronic sub-systems of the electronic system. The method further includes reception of a first set of data from the plurality of electronic modules. The method further includes dynamic prediction of a set of actions based on the received first set of data and second set of data. The second set of data corresponds to a previously executed set of actions.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6646683
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for applying a selective shutter to an imaging device. An image is received via a CCD unit and a portion of the received image that presents an overflow condition is determined. The amount of time light from the portion of the image presenting an overflow condition is received is selectively reduced so as to eliminate the overflow condition. The CCD unit comprises a plurality of individual imaging elements which receive light from the image for a time period corresponding to a predetermined duty cycle. Individual imaging elements corresponding to the portion of the received image that presents the overflow condition are connected to a current drain for a determined amount of time during the duty cycle, and this reduces the amount of time the determined portion of the image receives light.

  • Patent number: 4959725
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing a raw video camera signal to identify undesired multidimensional video image motion caused by rotational or translational camera motion in two or three dimensions, and to generate a corrected video camera signal in which such undesired video image motion is reduced. In a preferred embodiment, the apparatus includes a video camera having an oversized image pickup device, four accelerometers mounted in the video camera, and means for processing the accelerometer output signals and the raw video camera output signal to generate a corrected video camera signal. The processing means preferably employs selective clocking to generate a corrected video signal representing a stabilized version of the view of interest. Such a corrected video signal will exclude extraneous visual information (i.e., visual information other than the view of interest), and will be "stabilized" in the sense that it exhibits less image motion than does the draw video camera signal.
