  • Publication number: 20170200358
    Abstract: A method for monitoring an area includes distributing, by a detector unit, light during a first instance of time in order to characterize the area based on first data associated with the first instance of time; distributing, by the detector unit, light during at least a second instance of time in order to obtain second data; comparing a first portion of the second data to at least one of: a second portion of the second data and the first data; and based on the comparison, signaling an alarm condition by the detector unit when an evolution in the second data is detected in an amount greater than a threshold.

  • Publication number: 20150208042
    Abstract: An auto-commissioning system provides automatic parameter selection for an intelligent video system based on target video provided by the intelligent video system. The auto-commissioning system extracts visual feature descriptors from the target video and provides the one or more visual feature descriptors associated with the received target video to an parameter database that is comprised of a plurality of entries, each entry including a set of one or more stored visual feature descriptors and associated parameters tailored for the set of stored visual feature descriptors. A search of the parameter database locates one or more best matches between the extracted visual feature descriptors and the stored visual feature descriptors. The parameters associated with the best matches are returned as part of the search and used to commission the intelligent video system.

  • Patent number: 8138781
    Abstract: A test circuit adapted in a display panel of an electronic device is provided. The test circuit is to test the pixel array function of the display panel, wherein the test circuit comprises: a plurality of test signal lines, a plurality of test signal transmitters, a plurality of gate lines and at least one static electricity protection device. The test signal lines receive a plurality of corresponding test signals respectively. The test signal transmitters comprises a plurality test signal transmitter groups comprising at least one transmitter, wherein each transmitter group corresponds to a test signal line and connects the test signal line and the to pixel array. Each gate line connects to the gate of the at least one transmitter. The static electricity protection device is placed between two of the gate lines.
