Patent number: 10962336Abstract: A system for scoring darts that includes multiple cameras placed substantially parallel to the surface of a dartboard. With a field of view extending across the board, the cameras can be configured to capture images of darts projecting outwardly from the board as they are thrown, and the system can use this image data to calculate the location of each dart, and the corresponding score. Various algorithms may be used to orient the system and calibrate the system to account for irregularities in the images captured by the cameras to accurately determine the location. Proper scoring may be achieved for a variety of dartboards with different patterns of scoring regions based on game rules and corresponding board configurations maintained by the system.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2019Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: Indian Industries, Inc.Inventors: Herbert A. Hollinger, Jeremy W. Aldridge, Mike E. Ciholas, Justin E. Bennett, Paul R. Blaylock

Patent number: 7756954Abstract: A method for provisioning systems within a solution which includes mapping a physical identifier of a component within a system to a logical identifier of the component within a system and mapping the logical identifier of the component within a system to an implementation identifier of the component within the system. The mapping conforms to a predetermined user identifiable naming convention.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2008Date of Patent: July 13, 2010Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: David Schmidt, Herbert A. Hollinger, Mukund P. Khatri

Patent number: 6874060Abstract: A virtual disk subsystem and method for providing a virtual local drive are disclosed. The virtual disk subsystem includes a channel bridge, such as an Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) bridge, that receives disk commands from a disk controller, as well as a disk emulator in communication with the channel bridge and a network interface. The disk emulator includes control logic that receives disk commands from the disk controller via the channel bridge and, in response, retrieves data from a remote data storage device and forwards the data to the disk controller, such that the disk controller perceives the remote data storage device as a local device. In an exemplary embodiment, the virtual disk subsystem allows a standard operating system (OS) in a data processing system to function as if the data processing system included the emulated drive.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2001Date of Patent: March 29, 2005Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Roger M. Blood, Herbert A. Hollinger, Truc M. Nguyen, Paul W. Vancil

Publication number: 20030065864Abstract: A remotely manageable data processing system includes a video spoof subsystem that simulates a video adapter. The data processing system also includes a processing core in communication with the video spoof subsystem. The processing core transmits video data to the video spoof subsystem, and the video spoof subsystem translates the video data into video output. In addition, the data processing system includes a packet engine that receives the video output from the video spoof subsystem, generates network packets based on the video output, and transmits the network packets to a remote workstation. The data processing system thus uses spoofing to support remote video. In an example embodiment, the video data is digital video data, the data processing system includes no video adapter, and the data processing system does not convert the digital video data to analog.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2001Publication date: April 3, 2003Applicant: DELL PRODUCTS L.P.Inventor: Herbert A.
