Publication number: 20240094811Abstract: A differential camera system for object tracking. The system includes a co-aligned light source camera assembly (LSCA) and a controller. The co-aligned LSCA includes a light source and a differential camera sensor. The light source is configured to emit light along an optical path that is directed towards an eye box including an eye of a user. The differential camera sensor is configured to detect a change in brightness of the eye caused in part by the emitted light, asynchronously output data samples corresponding to the detected change in brightness, wherein the optical path is substantially co-aligned with an optical path of the differential camera sensor. The controller is configured to identify a pupil of the eye based on data samples output from the differential camera sensor resulting from the emitted light, and determine a gaze location of the user based in part on the identified pupil.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Robert Konrad Konrad, Kevin Conlon Boyle, Gordon Wetzstein, Nitish Padmanaban, John Gabriel Buckmaster

Patent number: 7933266Abstract: A signal router, configured to receive information carried by a first signal and transmit the information on a second signal, is described. The signal router, using routing information it gathers, selects the second signal from a number of signals, with the first and the second signals differing in at least one physical characteristic. The signal router operates in a network of a number of such signal routers, and so each one of the signal routers is coupled to at least one of the other signal routers. The routing information is used to create a circuit from a first one of the signal routers to a second one of the signal routers. Once the circuit is created, the information is routed over the circuit. According to one aspect of the present invention, the signals are optical signals.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2004Date of Patent: April 26, 2011Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Haig Michael Zadikian, Ali Najib Saleh, John Conlon Adler, Zareh Baghdasarian, Vahid Parsi

Patent number: 7602807Abstract: A method is provided to allocate bandwidth from a first node to a second node in a optical network. The method begins by accepting a request from an end-user, who requests a virtual path between the first node and the second node. The first and second nodes are ones of a number of such nodes. Each one of the nodes is coupled to at least one other node by at least one of a number of optical links. The nodes and links form the optical network. The virtual path has a bandwidth requirement associated therewith. Next, the service provider determines an amount of bandwidth available between the first and the second nodes. The service provider then allocates at least a portion of the amount of bandwidth available between the first and second nodes equal to the bandwidth requirement, so long as the bandwidth requirement is not greater than the amount of bandwidth available between the first and second nodes.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2005Date of Patent: October 13, 2009Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Haig Michael Zadikian, Ali Najib Saleh, John Conlon Adler, Zareh Baghdasarian, Vahid Parsi
