  • Patent number: 10501283
    Abstract: A wire processing system includes a tray having at least one tray surface configured to sequentially receive a first wire and a second wire from a wire feed system of a wire processing machine. The tray surface has a surface feature configured to provide a wire-to-surface coefficient of friction between the tray surface and the first wire higher than a wire-to-wire coefficient of friction between the first wire and the second wire laying on top of the first wire. The wire-to-surface coefficient of friction reduces movement of at least a portion of the first wire relative to the tray surface during movement of the second wire relative to the first wire.

  • Patent number: 10491936
    Abstract: A security system images a large amount of data through routine use which is difficult to transfer or share. In one embodiment, through the use of a cloud-based video service and an application program interface, the methods and systems disclosed herein comprise accepting a communication that identifies parameters associated with a video on a video server accessible via a network. The methods and systems further cause the video server to transfer the video via the network to a cloud-based video service location in response to the communication, and transmit a notification to a receiving party (or cause the cloud-based video service location to transmit the notification) in concert with the transfer of the video, which provides availability information of the video at the cloud-based service location. The methods and systems facilitate video sharing amongst parties.

  • Patent number: 10482570
    Abstract: A system for performing memory allocation for seamless media content presentation includes a computing platform having a CPU, a GPU having a GPU memory, and a main memory storing a memory allocation software code. The CPU executes the memory allocation software code to transfer a first dataset of media content to the GPU memory, seamlessly present the media content to a system user, register a location of the system user during the seamless presentation of the media content, and register a timecode status of the media content at the location. The CPU further executes the memory allocation software code to identify a second dataset of the media content based on the location and the timecode status, transfer a first differential dataset to the GPU memory, continue to seamlessly present the media content to the system user, and transfer a second differential dataset out of the GPU memory.

  • Publication number: 20190317533
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for controlling and monitoring an electro-mechanical flushing mechanism in a pressurized water distribution system. A first pressure reading of water in a supply channel is taken, the supply channel being in fluid communication with a distribution line of the water distribution system and terminated by a flushing valve. The flushing valve is then actuated causing the valve to change state. A second pressure reading is taken of the water in the supply channel and a difference between the first and second pressure readings is computed. The computed difference is compared to a minimum pressure differential value, and, upon determining that the difference is not greater than the minimum pressure differential value, a central control system of the water distribution system is alerted that a valve failure has occurred.

  • Publication number: 20190313080
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are disclosed that enable the compression of depth data and real-time reconstruction of high-quality light fields. In one aspect, spatial compression and decompression of depth images is divided into the following stages: generating a quadtree data structure for each depth image captured by a light field probe and difference mask associated with the depth image, with each node of the quadtree approximating a corresponding portion of the depth image data using an approximating function; generating, from the quadtree for each depth image, a runtime packed form that is more lightweight and has a desired maximum error; and assembling multiple such runtime packed forms into per-probe stream(s); and decoding at runtime the assembled per-probe stream(s). Further, a block compression format is disclosed for approximating depth data by augmenting the block compression format 3DC+(BC4) with a line and two pairs of endpoints.

  • Patent number: 10440597
    Abstract: Monitoring devices, which in some cases may comprise smartphones, are placed at base stations of a cellular communications network to report base station information. Each monitoring device is configured to periodically determine whether its associated base station is operating correctly, or whether there is some type of anomaly at the base station. As long as there is no anomaly, the monitoring device repeatedly sends status messages to a support service of the cellular communications network. Each such status message indicates that the monitoring device has performed an analysis and has determined there is no serious anomaly at the base station. The support service monitors status messages from multiple monitoring devices. If the support service does not receive a status message within a given period of time, the support service may alert service personnel and/or automatically dispatch support resources to the base station or trigger diagnostics and/or corrective measures.
