  • Patent number: 10169844
    Abstract: One or more embodiments provide a neurosynaptic circuit that includes multiple neurosynaptic core circuits that: perform image distortion correction by converting a source image to a destination image by: taking as input a sequence of image frames of a video with one or more channels per frame, and converting dimensions and pixel distortion coefficients of each frame as one or more corresponding neuronal firing events. Each distorted pixel is mapped to zero or more undistorted pixels by processing each neuronal firing event corresponding to each pixel of each image frame. Corresponding pixel intensity values of each distorted pixel are processed to output undistorted pixels for each image frame as neuronal firing events for a spike representation of the destination image.

  • Patent number: 8488176
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for analyzing usage of printers. A method in accordance with an embodiment includes: obtaining from at least one printer information about a plurality of print tasks performed by each printer, wherein the information about print tasks at least contains information of print requesters, print document attributes, and print time of each of the print tasks; and transforming the information about print tasks into an organizational representation based on information of organizational structure containing the print requesters. In the present invention, entities having a costly pattern are identified by mining historical usage data of the printers, thus driving the redesign of business process associated with the entities, performing print policies optimization on each entity associated with the printers based on the mined historical usage data, thereby reducing unnecessary paper consumption.

  • Patent number: 8010423
    Abstract: An opportunity server searches for potential vehicle repair transaction providers by receiving a signal from a mobile system indicating a need for a transaction with a business entity responsive to an on-board diagnostic detection of a real-time fault condition resulting in recording of a Diagnostic Trouble Code; automatically issuing requests for bids for the transaction to provider parties located in a first potential geographic point for repair service indicating estimated times of arrival at each geographic point; receiving offers from the provider parties; automatically coalescing the offers by screening to meet user preferences, and modifying and organizing into a format for uniform presentation to a user; presenting the coalesced offers to an operator of the mobile system; and automatically performing enterprise resource planning for a user-selected business transaction.

  • Publication number: 20070288138
    Abstract: Diagnostic codes from a vehicle or other system in transit are transmitted to an opportunity server. The opportunity server searches for potential providers according to user preferences, specifications of the system in transit, and location of the provider in relationship to the travel itinerary of the mobile system. Requests for bids are issued to potential providers, and offers are received and coalesced from the providers. The operator of the vehicle is presented with one or more coalesced offers. Upon selection of an offer by the operator, the service is scheduled, including arranging for parts, personnel and facilities.
