Patent number: 10169844Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2018Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Alexander Andreopoulos, Daniel F.

Publication number: 20070288138Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2007Publication date: December 13, 2007Inventors: William Bodin, Bryan Clark, Albert Kwok, John Del Pizzo, Wojciech Stryjewski, David Huff, Derral Thorson, Michael Karasick
