Patent number: 8775916Abstract: Technology for testing a target recognition, analysis, and tracking system is provided. A searchable repository of recorded and synthesized depth clips and associated ground truth tracking data is provided. Data in the repository is used by one or more processing devices each including at least one instance of a target recognition, analysis, and tracking pipeline to analyze performance of the tracking pipeline. An analysis engine provides at least a subset of the searchable set responsive to a request to test the pipeline and receives tracking data output from the pipeline on the at least subset of the searchable set.

Patent number: 8371445Abstract: A compressible package having pair of scored sidewalls, which facilitate compression of the package into a wedge shape for storage in narrow recesses. Optionally, the compressible package may include a scored bottom flap wherein the bottom portion of the sidewalls and the bottom flap are shaped such that when the carton is compressed by a user the resulting shape of the bottom flap complements the shape of the sidewalls, maintaining a substantially closed carton. Preferably the compressible package is a carton for storing and dispensing tissue and the carton assumes a wedge shape, which allows the carton to be fit into tight spaces, such as between the seat and the center console of the automobile while maintaining a substantially closed carton.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2010Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Michelle Lynn Seabaugh, Bart John Rabas, John Fitzgerald Janz, Kyle John Schuman, Leslie Thomas Long, Peter Booth, Alan David Whiting

Patent number: 7720960Abstract: A method is disclosed for authorizing a prepaid network service in a data network. A network end station issues a request for a prepaid network service. At a network node, such as a router serving as a gateway for selecting services, a determination is made about whether a user associated with the end station is authorized to access the prepaid network service. Network traffic from the end station is forwarded to a service provider only when the user is authorized to use the prepaid network service. Specific embodiments provide message flows among a mobile station, gateway support node, router, and authentication server that support providing prepaid services in a packet-switched network for mobile communication. In certain embodiments, a connection is held open for an end station while a prepaid quota value is refreshed at a portal, thereby reducing overhead and precluding the need to repeat user logon steps.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2003Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Richard Manfred Pruss, Matthew Lawrence King, John Fitzgerald, Tanja Hess, Mark Grayson, David Hovey, Marco Cesare Centemeri, Amit Phadnis, Navneet Agarwal, Vinodh Kumar Ravindranath, Kotha Subba Rama Chandra Murty, Tirumali Seetharam Ajai
