  • Patent number: 6873261
    Abstract: An early-warning security system for monitoring and tracking in real-time or at least in near-real-time the activities and movements associated with prescribed personnel, personal property, mobile vehicles, and buildings. The system comprises a plurality of in situ local controllers having a microprocessor and a coordinated plurality of conspicuous and clandestine digital video cameras for continuously producing digital audio and visual signals, uplinking such signals via a suitable wireless telecommunications device to a satellite, general packet radio service, the Internet, intranet or extranet, and then downlinking these signals to a plurality of control centers for recording and analysis thereof. Uplinking of these digital signals may occur continuously or may be activated by a manual or predefined trigger event. Preventive or remedial action is immediately taken when perturbations from normal behavior or activities are observed in the recorded audio and visual signals.

  • Publication number: 20050054362
    Abstract: A transmitting device (100) transmits a signal on a forward channel (106) at a predetermined power level. Upon receipt of the signal, a receiving device (102), estimates a signal quality for the signal. If the signal quality is below a threshold, the receiving device transmits a power control message on at least a portion of a single reverse channel (104), wherein the power control message requests an increase in transmit power for subsequently received signals, and wherein the single reverse channel is shared by a plurality of receiving devices. The transmitting device adjusts the transmit power level based on observing the reverse channel.

  • Patent number: 6718358
    Abstract: A system and method is described for generic automated tuning for performance management. The system comprises a target to be controlled and a generic automated tuning agent (GATA) that performs this control. The controlled target provides interfaces to metrics relating to workload, service levels, and configuration information, as well as a means to adjust tuning controls that determine resource allocations within the target. The GATA inputs the metrics, estimates new tuning control settings based on service objectives specified by administrators, and outputs the tuning control settings.

  • Patent number: 6671691
    Abstract: According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a method and an apparatus for a user-friendly expression builder GUI is disclosed. The preferred embodiment GUI design enables users to construct syntactically valid expressions, without any knowledge of expression syntax. The preferred embodiment provides generic expressions, which serve as starting points in expression building. Each generic expression is a syntactically correct expression containing generic parameters. The GUI user customizes the syntactically correct generic expression, by replacing the generic parameters with parameters specific to the database task at hand. The preferred embodiment provides lists of such specific parameters, including lists of field names and constants, which are selected to build the expression.

  • Patent number: 6637810
    Abstract: A vehicle hood seal and stopper assembly protects a hood, grill, grill insert, and headlight during closing of the hood. The seal and stopper assembly is secured to a lower surface of the hood and includes a primary seal member and a plurality of stopper members. The stopper members are integrally secured to a lower surface of the primary seal member and are provided in spaced apart locations along the primary seal member. The primary seal member is more resilient than the stopper members, and the stopper members serve to limit hood motion during over stroke of the hood. When the hood is closed, the stopper members are disposed between the hood and the grill insert, the forward surface of the seal member provides a continuous seal between the hood and the subjacent structure, and the seal and stopper assembly is disposed relatively behind a forward edge of the hood so as to be concealed.

  • Publication number: 20030144983
    Abstract: A system and method are described for constructing and implementing generic software agents for automated tuning of computer systems and applications. The framework defines the modules and interfaces to allow agents to be created in a modular fashion. The specifics of the target system are captured by adaptors that provide a uniform interface to the target system. Data in the agent is managed by a metric manager, and controller modules implement the desired control algorithms. The modular structure and common interfaces allow for the construction of generic agents that are applicable to a wide variety of target systems, and can use a wide variety of control algorithms.
