Abstract: Systems and methods include an image capture component configured to capture infrared images of a scene, and a logic device configured to identify a target in the images, acquire temperature data associated with the target based on the images, evaluate the temperature data and determine a corresponding temperature classification, and process the identified target in accordance with the temperature classification. The logic device identifies a person and tracks the person across a subset of the images, identify a measurement location for the target in a subset of the images based on target feature points identified by a neural network, and measure a temperature of the location using corresponding values from one or more captured thermal images. The logic device is further configured calculate a core body temperature of the target using the temperature data to determine whether the target has a fever and calibrate using one or more black bodies.

Abstract: High resolution image target classification systems and methods include a proposal component configured to receive a first set data associated with a scene, the first set of data including at least one image of the scene, a multistage neural network comprising a plurality of neural networks, each neural network trained to receive a region of interest and output an object classification in accordance with an associated resource allocation, and an attention coordinator configured to determine regions of interest in the image and allocate each determined region to one of the plurality of neural networks from the multi-scale neural network, in accordance with available system resources. The system may be configured to optimize a probability of detecting objects in the image, while minimizing a number of pixels processed through the multi-scale neural network.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for correcting vision in macular degeneration patients. Following a diagnostic procedure which has been successfully tested to determine the factors needed to correct the vision of a patient with macular degeneration, the present invention describes a prototype correcting procedure and device using a computer program and display device. Through manipulation of a grid and quantitative analysis of the manipulations, the extent and correction factors needed to correct the vision of a macular degeneration patient are discussed.

Abstract: An efficient method and system for displaying integrated transparent objects and animation with a window, such as an Internet Web page is described. The present invention implements a plugin-control, such as a Netscape plugin or ActiveX control, in the host program, such as a Web browser, wherein the plugin-control provides at least one graphics buffer in addition to the buffers used by the host program. The plugin-control can function according to the host program Application Programming Interface (API) for the plugin-control under which the at least one additional buffer is used to composite a “compositing plane” containing the transparent objects and animation with the host program window and where the resulting composited scene is returned to the host program buffers as part of the regular host program draw pipe. Additionally, the host program API may be circumvented and the resulting composited scene may be written directly to the front buffer for display on the display device.

Abstract: A first processing system is coupled to a plurality of integrated circuits along a P bus. Each of these integrated circuits has a combination cache and memory management unit (MMU). The cache/MMU integrated circuits are also connected to a main memory via an M bus. A second processing system is also coupled to the main memory primarily via a secondary bus but also via the M bus. External TAGs coupled between the M bus and the secondary bus are used to maintain coherency between the first and second processing systems. Each external TAG corresponds to a particular cache/MMU integrated circuit and maintains information as to the status of its corresponding cache/MMU integrated circuit. The cache/MMU integrated circuit provides the necessary status information to its corresponding external TAG in a very efficient manner. Each cache/MMU integrated circuit can also be converted to a SRAM mode in which the cache performs like a conventional high speed static random access memory (SRAM).

Abstract: A cache has an address bus for receiving requests for data from a processor and a data bus for providing the requested data to the processor. As part of the mechanism for determining if there is a hit in the cache, the cache has TAG locations for storing TAG addresses. The hit signal is not generated unless a TAG address corresponds to the address received on the address bus. Associated with each TAG location are valid bits, disable bits, and LRU bits. The requested data is contained in data locations in the cache. Each data location has a corresponding TAG location. The disable bits can be set under the control of the processor for the case where a data location is defective. Additionally, in various diagnostic modes, the TAG locations, the valid bits, the LRU bits, and the data locations are directly accessible via the data bus.

Abstract: In a data processor, the conditions associated with an operand are evaluated only in response to the execution of a special instruction. The results of this evaluation is provided as a result operand and stored in a general purpose destination register. The evaluated conditions are each provided in discrete form, that is, unencoded, rather than in encoded form.
