  • Publication number: 20120093370
    Abstract: Determination of human behavior from an alignment of data streams includes acquiring visual image primitives from a video input comprising visual information relevant to a human activity. The primitives are temporally aligned to an optimally hypothesized sequence of primitives transformed from a sequence of transactions as a function of a distance metric between the observed primitive sequence and the transformed primitive sequence. More particularly, transforming includes comparing the distance metric costs and choosing and performing the lowest cost of temporally matching the observed primitives to one or more transactions, deleting a primitive, or associating a primitive with a pseudo transaction marker. Accordingly, alerts are issued based on analysis of the transformation of primitives.

  • Publication number: 20120075450
    Abstract: Human behavior alerts are determined from a video stream through application of video analytics that parse a video stream into a plurality of segments, wherein each of the segments are either temporally related to at least one of a plurality of temporally distinct transactions in an event data log; or they are each associated with a pseudo transaction marker if not temporally related to at least one of the temporally distinct transactions and an image analysis indicates a temporal correlation with at least one of the distinct transactions is expected. Visual image features are extracted from the segments and one-SVM classification is performed on the extracted features to categorize segments into inliers or outliers relative to a threshold boundary. Event of concern alerts are issued with respect to the inlier segments associated with the associated pseudo transaction marker.

  • Publication number: 20120008819
    Abstract: In an embodiment, automated analysis of video data for determination of human behavior includes providing a programmable device that segments a video stream into a plurality of discrete individual frame image primitives which are combined into a visual event that may encompass an activity of concern as a function of a hypothesis. The visual event is optimized by setting a binary variable to true or false as a function of one or more constraints. The optimized visual event is processed in view of associated non-video transaction data and the binary variable by associating the optimized visual event with a logged transaction if associable, issuing an alert if the binary variable is true and the optimized visual event is not associable with the logged transaction, and dropping the optimized visual event if the binary variable is false and the optimized visual event is not associable.

  • Publication number: 20120008836
    Abstract: Human behavior is determined by sequential event detection by constructing a temporal-event graph with vertices representing adjacent first and second primitive images of a plurality of individual primitive images parsed from a video stream, and also of first and second idle states associated with the respective first and second primitive images. Constructing the graph is a function of an edge set between the adjacent first and second primitive images, and an edge weight set as a function of a discrepancy between computed visual features within regions of interest common to the adjacent first and second primitive images. A human activity event is determined as a function of a shortest distance path of the temporal-event graph vertices.

  • Publication number: 20110317786
    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying a transmission channel response and a feedback channel response from a plurality of composite system responses are disclosed. A plurality of shifted feedback signals are created by shifting a feedback signal frequency by a plurality of first offset values and/or by shifting a transmission signal frequency by a plurality of second offset values. The feedback signals are compared to an input signal to identify the transmission channel response and/or a feedback channel response. A control signal is generated for a pre-distortion circuit to modify the input signal by an inverse of the transmission channel response. The composite system response is measured at a plurality of operating frequencies and at the plurality of offset values. The measurements are stored in a matrix and singular value decomposition is applied to the matrix of measurements to calculate the transmission channel response and feedback channel response.

  • Patent number: 8008902
    Abstract: A hysteretic buck converter provides improved regulation control, in particular for buck converter standby operation. A comparison circuit compares the output voltage of the buck converter to a waveform that is generated from an indication of the output current of the converter, so that the turn-on time of the converter is advanced as the output current demand increases. The resulting action anticipates a reduction in output voltage due to the increased current, preventing an excursion of the output voltage below the ripple voltage minimum. The turn-off time of the converter is controlled by an upper threshold that limits the ripple voltage maximum. The output current indication may be a measurement of output current, or may be a dynamic value calculated from the input voltage and the output voltage waveform.

  • Publication number: 20110158297
    Abstract: Conventional transceivers do provide some compensation for in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) imbalance. However, these techniques do not separately compensate for I/Q imbalance for the transmitter and receiver sides of the transceiver. Here, a transceiver is provided that allows for compensation of I/Q imbalance in the transmitter and receiver irrespective of the other to allow for a more accurate transceiver.

  • Publication number: 20110135034
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a DPD system where the transmit reference signal is transformed, including sub-sampling, frequency translation, and the like, to match the feedback signal, which goes thru a similar transformation process, to obtain an error signal. The same transformation is applied to a system model, which may be Jacobian, Hessian, Gradient, or the like, in an adaptation algorithm to minimize error.

  • Publication number: 20110080216
    Abstract: Systems and methods for power amplifier pre-distortion are provided. The systems and methods of power amplifier digital pre-distortion disclosed herein may include a generic pre-distorter architecture which can implement a variety of Volterra cross terms involving single dimension convolutions (first order dynamics). For hardware implementations, this generic pre-distorter is further fine-tuned to provide a choice between different sets of cross terms that can be selected for a given PA for optimal performance. The novel pre-distorter architecture provides flexibility to trade off memory depth for additional Volterra terms and vice versa. A further novelty is the ability to trade off both memory depth and cross terms for a higher sample rate operation, which may enable higher order non-linear pre-distortion, or support for higher signal bandwidths. A poly-phase non-linear filtering mode allows for this flexibility.

  • Patent number: 7324025
    Abstract: A non-integer CIC interpolation filter is provided for use in sigma-delta digital-to-analog systems, which realizes non-integer interpolation but eliminates the need for coupling of the integrators in the output domain. The present non-integer interpolation filter provides for more attenuation to all of the aliases of the input signal and has eliminated the need of complex computations.

  • Patent number: 7283076
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for implementing non-integer sample hold operations in a sigma-delta digital-to-analog converter system includes an interpolation filter, a polyphase filter circuit, and a modulator. The polyphase filter circuit is used to virtual upsample a digital input signal by a predetermined non-integer upsample ratio of a relatively large number. The polyphase filter circuit is formed of a long zero-order hold and a short FIR filter so that only several branches associated with the polyphase filter circuit corresponding to output samples immediately after a transition of the digital input signal is required to be calculated, thereby reducing the need to store a large number of filter coefficients and eliminating complex computations.
