Abstract: A wireless battery-powered daylight sensor for measuring a total light intensity in a space is operable to transmit wireless signals using a variable transmission rate that is dependent upon the total light intensity in the space. The sensor comprises a photosensitive circuit, a wireless transmitter for transmitting the wireless signals, a controller coupled to the photosensitive circuit and the wireless transmitter, and a battery for powering the photosensitive circuit, the wireless transmitter, and the controller. The photosensitive circuit is operable to generate a light intensity control signal in response to the total light intensity in the space. The controller transmits the wireless signals in response to the light intensity control signal using the variable transmission rate that is dependent upon the total light intensity in the space. The variable transmission rate may be dependent upon an amount of change of the total light intensity in the space.

Abstract: A video editing system that enables replay of activities performed by one or more objects of interest, and displayed on a map. The editing system receives a series of geolocation data points for each object of interest. The system also receives a series of time data points representing when each object was at the respective geolocations. The editing system generates positions in relation to a map of a predetermined geographic region, for the objects. Depending on one or more command inputs that it receives, the editing system then processes and displays markers of the positions of the objects, based on one or more of i) the geolocation data points, ii) the time data points, and iii) the generated map positions. As part of the processing, the editing system is able to stream the displayable data such that the markers appear to move around the map.
