  • Patent number: 11574044
    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques and systems for enabling new devices introduced into respective environments (“provisionee devices”) to be provisioned by existing devices in the respective environments (“provisioner devices”) in a manner in which the provisioning requests sent by the provisioner devices are allocated over time and, thus, do not overwhelm the provisioning system(s) at any given time.

  • Patent number: 8985596
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a transportation device comprising one riding wheel, a U-shaped frame, and a stepping assembly. The riding wheel is mounted between the two ends of the U-shaped frame and the stepping assembly is mounted on the axle of the riding wheel. The stepping assembly contains a foot pedal and one or two supporting legs with an optional stepping wheel beneath the foot pedal. This device can conveniently convert between a riding mode and a walking mode to allow rider skate, walk, and stand in various ground surfaces.

  • Patent number: 7046780
    Abstract: A method and computer program product allows for the efficient allocation of buffers (e.g., first-in first-out (FIFO) queues) for current and predicted active speakers in voice conferencing systems. The method and computer program product, implemented by a server hosting an audio conference for a plurality of speakers, minimizes the loss of audio data for speakers as they switch from “non-active” to “active” status. This is accomplished by employing a set of active speaker buffers and a set of predicted active speaker buffers. The predicted active speaker buffers maintain a collection of the most recent x packets or m milliseconds of “non-active” speaker audio data, and transfer a portion of the data from the predicted active speaker buffers to the active speaker buffers as speakers become “active” speakers.

  • Patent number: 5872865
    Abstract: A computer system and computer implemented method automatically classify video sequences into categories. A set of categories is defined either manually through the association of selected video sequences with user supplied category designations, or automatically through segregation of a set of video sequences into groups of similar sequences. Input video sequences are then classified by either pixel decomposition or primitive attribute decomposition; the former analyzing each image on a pixel basis, the latter employing extracted image information. Categories can be trained as new video sequences are input into the system, or new categories can be created to accommodate such new sequences that are dissimilar from existing categories.

  • Patent number: 5805733
    Abstract: A method and system summarizes scenes in a video sequence by detecting scene changes, and then comparing scenes in a moving window to determine their similarity. Similar scenes are consolidated and represented by a representative frame, a number of which are displayed to a user. Scene changes are detected by comparing average color histograms for each scene, motion compensated pixel differences or motion compensated edge maps, or a combination of these methods. Scenes in the video sequence are selected for summarizing according to their normalized time duration. Of the selected scenes, similar or related scenes are determined by comparing the average color histograms of each pair of scenes in a moving window, using a standard population error measure, such as a Chi-squared test. For each set of related scenes, a representative frame is taken, either as the medial frame from the entire time duration of the related scenes or as the first frame of the medial scene in the set.

  • Patent number: 5802361
    Abstract: A system and method for searching images includes a low level analyzer for processing image data in a plurality of images into side information files, the image data of each side information file pertaining to a particular statistical or perceptual abstraction of the images, such as motion, color, texture, segments, and the like. A user interface allows a user to graphically construct a search inquiry with icons representing image attributes corresponding to the image data in the side information files. A search inquiry may include complex boolean expressions, and custom image attributes may be created to represent useful search inquiries. The image attributes of a search inquiry may also be ranked. A high level analyzer parses a search inquiry to determine the image attributes contained therein, and analyzes the image data of the side information files to determine a similarity measure for each image with respect to the search inquiry.
