  • Patent number: 9571569
    Abstract: A method for determining virtual machine migration relates to the field of communications and can reduce a deployment cost. The method includes a client in a host machine obtains a unique identifier of a virtual machine on the host machine and an address of the host machine; and if the unique identifier of the virtual machine does not exist in a local record of the client, the client sends a packet to a server in a network in which the host machine is located, where the packet carries the unique identifier of the virtual machine and the address of the host machine, so that the server determines, according to the unique identifier of the virtual machine and the address of the host machine, whether the virtual machine is migrated; and the client adds the unique identifier of the virtual machine to the local record to update the local record.

  • Publication number: 20160345828
    Abstract: A system for multi-scale closed-loop eye tracking to compensate for translation and rotation motion while imaging in vivo a surface area of an internal structure of an eye of a subject includes a narrow field imaging device optically coupled to an optical path to receive light reflected from the surface area of the structure of the eye. A wide field camera is optically coupled to the optical path by a beam splitter disposed in the optical path. A tracking mirror is disposed in the optical path between the beam splitter and the structure of the eye. A control process algorithm actively compensates substantially in real time for both translational and rotational movements of the eye. A system where a torsional correction device causes a rotating movement of a subject's head and a method for multi-scale closed-loop eye tracking are also described.

  • Publication number: 20160317031
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for imaging multiple retinal structures and montaging of multiple retinal images are provided. The method involves cross-correlating images from different imaging channels to compensate for intra-frame distortion due to retinal movement during image acquisition, and conducting a second cross-correlation to filter out any motion artifacts in the images. The resultant images are combined to generate a composite image. The method also involves controlling light directed on the retina spatially and temporally.
