Patent number: 8447769Abstract: Various embodiments of a system and methods for real-time image collection and sharing are described. A group of geographically co-located mobile device users may capture images on the mobile devices during a session. The devices may send the images, during the same session, to a database where the images may be stored as a real-time image collection. The image collection may be shared, during the same session, among the mobile device users. The users may receive notification of new images in the image collection based on user preferences. The users may request, from the image collection, images containing particular content by identifying the content on an image and sending a search request which includes the identified content. A computation server may maintain a data set which associates similar images in the image collection. The data set may be updated for each new image that is added to the image collection.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2010Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Sylvain Paris, Paul E.

Patent number: 5487120Abstract: A wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) unit (12) includes a plurality of Input/Output cards (IOCs 14). Each IOC is bidirectionally coupled to I/O specific media (fiber or copper) and to two coaxial cables. Also bidirectionally coupled to the coaxial cables are a plurality of Laser/Receiver Cards (LRC 20). The interface between the IOCs and the LRCs is an Emitter Coupled Logic (ECL) electrical interface that is conveyed over the coaxial cables. Each LRC is bidirectionally coupled by two single mode fibers to an optical multiplexer and demultiplexer, embodied within a grating (24). An input/output port of the grating is coupled to a fiber link (28) that enables bidirectional, full duplex data communications with a second WDM. Each WDM also includes a Diagnostic Processor Card (DPC 28) that receives status signals from the IOCs and LRCs, that forwards the status signals on to an external processor, and which generates control information for the IOCs and LRCs.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 1994Date of Patent: January 23, 1996Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michael M.

Patent number: 5483372Abstract: A long transmission link for two-level information which is interrupted at spaced intervals in order that the signal's level-crossing information may be extracted and passed on. This level-crossing remodulation process discards amplitude information and retains and retransmits only the times of level crossing. By making the receiver of each remodulator sufficiently wide-banded, the overall link is protocol and bit rate independent in the sense that it can pass any of a wide variety of binary digital signals without requiring reclocking at each stage as is done with conventional regenerators. The preferred embodiment includes an application to multi-wavelength long optical transmission links, and this multi-channel approach avoids many problems associated with optical amplifiers.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 1994Date of Patent: January 9, 1996Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Paul E.

Patent number: 5457459Abstract: An apparatus and method for converting a charge packet into digital bit weights. The apparatus comprises a plurality of serially connected charge-coupled cells for receiving the charge packet at one end, such that the charge packet consecutively fills each CCD in the path. Also, a detector is coupled to another end of the CCD's for advancing charge within the CCD's and detecting whether each CCD is filled. A counter coupled to the detector for counting the number of CCD's which are not filled with charge, wherein the number represents a first form of digital bit weights of the charge packet.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 1993Date of Patent: October 10, 1995Assignee: Rockwell International CorporationInventors: Paul E.

Patent number: 5422924Abstract: A device and method for controlling the gain of a charge based signal is described. The described device and method may be used for both offset correction and for gain control. First and second charge holding gates are provided for receiving a charge packet representing a signal. A control gate partitions off at least a portion of the charge on the secondary charge holding gate. The charge not so partitioned off is then transferred onto the output line as the adjusted charge packet representing the adjusted signal, where the gain is now the ratio of areas of first charge holding gate to the sum of areas of both first and second charge holding gates. The offset of a signal can also be corrected by segregating the portion of charge representing the offset of an input signal onto the second charge holding gate.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 1993Date of Patent: June 6, 1995Assignee: Rockwell International CorporationInventor: Paul E.

Patent number: 5103340Abstract: This invention describes a tunable optical filter to be used in an optical communication system. The filter of this invention has a pair of resonator cavities which are cascaded. The lengths of each of the cavities change simultaneously with the change in length of a piezoelectric sleeve which contacts a reflective surface of each of the cavities through spacers. The sleeves and spacers are set so as to move the reflecting surfaces of the cavities along a single axis in response to a single control signal. When optical signals are passed through the two cavities and when the ratio of the length of the cavities is adjusted to a predetermined ratio of integers, the resonator cavity will resonate at a desired wavelength.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 1989Date of Patent: April 7, 1992Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Nicholas R. Dono, Paul E. Green, Jr., Philippe A. Perrier

Patent number: 5049868Abstract: A planar matrix of display picture elements is operated by supplying power to the picture elements by a high current planar drive electrode connected to the picture elements, and a planar counter electrode slightly separated from the picture elements' display dots, and by addressing the picture elements with low current leads parallel to the plane of the matrix. The planes of the electrodes are parallel to the plane of the matrix. The elimination of high current power leads improves response time and resolution. The separation of the counter electrode from the display dots eliminates the need to refresh the picture elements. An isolation transistor in series with the drive transistor allows simultaneous color change of the entire matrix by simultaneous turning on and off of all isolation transistors.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 1989Date of Patent: September 17, 1991Assignee: Rockwell International CorporationInventors: Paul E. Green, Margie M. Nicholson
