Abstract: A device for control of network traffic may include a plurality of edge interface circuit and internal interface circuits each coupled to one or more network components. The device may prepend frame identification information to received data frames and remove duplicate data frames when identification information is detected multiple times. The device may store frame identification information in a non-transitory memory device and perform a lookup operation to identify duplicate data frames and eliminate loops in the network.

Abstract: A PHY constituted of: a clock arranged to generate a time signal indicative of the current time; and an egress stamp functionality arranged to: receive a data packet on the egress side, extract data from a predetermined section of the received data packet, and responsive to the extracted data, perform one of a plurality of predetermined timestamp operations, the plurality of predetermined timestamp operations comprising: generating a timestamp signal responsive to the generated time signal; not generating a timestamp signal; or modifying a timestamp written in the received data packet.

Abstract: A method for recognizing gestures of a human body (10) with a depth camera device (110), having the steps: generating a point cloud (20) by the depth camera device at a first time (t1) as an initial image (IB); analyzing the initial image (IB) to recognize limbs (12) of the body; setting at least one joint point (14) with a rotational degree of freedom defined by an angle of rotation (?) in reference to a recognized limb; generating a point cloud at a second time (t2) after the first time as a next image (FB); analyzing the next image for a recognized limb and the set joint point from the initial image; determining the angle of rotation of the joint point in the next image; comparing the angle of rotation with a preset value (RV); and recognizing a gesture upon correlation of the angle of rotation with the preset value.

Abstract: Precision Timing Protocol (PTP) related functions for use in packet communications carried in part by a microwave communications link include setting of time of day values across the microwave link and providing transparent clock functions. The PTP functions may be used for synchronizing radio base stations in a cellular network. The transparent clock can bridge Ethernet switches associated with microwave stations providing the microwave communications link.

Abstract: The invention relates to a real time-capable analysis of a sequence of electronic images for estimating the pose of a movable object captured by means of the images. The invention further relates to implementing the invention in software and, in this connection, to a computer-readable medium that stores commands, the execution of which causes the method according to the invention to be carried out. The invention proceeds from a skeleton model, which is described by a small number of nodes in 3D space and permits a good data compression of the image information when the co-ordinates of the nodes describe at any time the position of predetermined parts of the moving object. The skeleton model simultaneously represents previous knowledge of the object, by defining e.g. node pairs and optionally also node triplets in the skeleton model that describe cohesive object parts or optionally object surfaces, which are contained in the measured 2½-D image information, i.e. are visible to the camera.

Abstract: A system handles timing information within a packet-switched network. The system classifies packets for processing depending on the packet type. After classification, a new timestamp value may be produced depending on the packet classification. The new timestamp value may use a timestamp value from the received packet, a value from a local clock, and an offset value. The timestamp value may be written into the packet, depending on the packet classification, and checksum-type fields may additionally be updated in the packet. In some embodiments, multiple physical layer circuits are integrated with a local clock circuit.
