Abstract: A treadmill with a safety warning function includes a miming unit, a driving unit, a detection unit and a control unit. The running unit includes a driving roller and a running belt provided for a runner to stand thereon. The detection unit includes a camera arranged at a predefined height range on top of the running belt for photographing images. The control unit determines a height of the runner based on the images photographed. The safety monitoring method for the treadmill includes obtaining an image above the running belt and determining whether the height of the runner is greater than the predefined height. By determining whether the height of the runner is greater than the predefined height, it is able to determine whether the driving roller can be driven by the driving unit to rotate, thereby preventing the hazard of accidental activation by a child of insufficient height.

During the network initialization of the host device via the storage system, the first instance of the communication protocol provided for each monitored port provides copies of network initialization communications transmitted via that monitored port and the network to the second instance of the communication protocol provided for the monitoring port, and the second instance of the communication protocol provided for the monitoring port provides the copies of the network initialization communications to the monitoring system.

Abstract: A protocol security system includes a protocol producer driver stored in a first memory range on a primary memory system, a protocol consumer driver stored on the primary memory system, and a firmware interface engine provided via the primary memory system. The firmware interface engine receives a protocol pointer from the protocol consumer driver, and identifies that the protocol pointer was provided by the protocol producer driver. If the firmware interface engine determines that the protocol pointer is not stored in the first memory range on the primary memory system, it generates a protocol security violation. If the firmware interface engine determines that the protocol pointer is stored in the first memory range on the primary memory system and points to an architectural protocol, it determines whether the protocol producer driver originated from a secondary memory system and, if not, generates a protocol security violation.

Abstract: A method, computer readable medium, and system are disclosed for identifying residual video data. This data describes data that is lost during a compression of original video data. For example, the original video data may be compressed and then decompressed, and this result may be compared to the original video data to determine the residual video data. This residual video data is transformed into a smaller format by means of encoding, binarizing, and compressing, and is sent to a destination. At the destination, the residual video data is transformed back into its original format and is used during the decompression of the compressed original video data to improve a quality of the decompressed original video data.
