Patent number: 10071500Abstract: Systems and methods for a chainsaw safety device are described. In some embodiments, a method comprises activating a chainsaw, receiving a first acceleration value associated with acceleration of the chainsaw, comparing the first acceleration value to a predetermined acceleration threshold, and deactivating the chainsaw based on the comparison.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2014Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Inventor: Rex George

Patent number: 9277168Abstract: A new motion adaptive deinterlacing method and apparatus detects motion corresponding to a pixel to be interpolated. The method and apparatus generates a subframe level motion map based on at least a portion of a current field and at least a portion of a plurality of previous fields. Based on the generated subframe level motion map, the apparatus and method generates a plurality of motion vectors associated with the subframe level motion map by applying a plurality of motion masks, associated with the pixel to be interpolated, to the subframe level motion map. The apparatus and method further generates deinterlaced content by adaptively interpolating the pixel to be interpolated for the current field based on the plurality of motion vectors produced by applying a plurality of motion masks to the subframe level motion map.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2012Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventors: Rex George, Daniel P. Shimizu, Sateesh Lagudu, Niranjan P. Dasiga, Sai Kishore Reddipalli

Patent number: 7392536Abstract: A mechanism is provided for signing on a user of a first domain into an affiliate application in a second domain. When the user needs access to the affiliate application, the request for access causes a ticket to be generated. The ticket identifies the user and is passed to an adapter. The adapter, which ultimately will perform the sign on in the affiliate application, redeems the ticket for the user's credentials (e.g., a valid userID/password combination for the affiliate application), and then presents the credentials to the affiliate application. A service is provided that issues tickets, redeems tickets, manages the registration and de-registration of affiliate applications, manages the correlation between a user and the user's credentials with an affiliate application, and manages encryption of stored records.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2003Date of Patent: June 24, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Steve Jamieson, Anil Balakrishnan, Hilal Al-Hilali, Christopher Robert Houser, Rex George Torres, Joseph W. Sharp, Jean-Emile Elien

Patent number: 7275259Abstract: A system that allows a user of a first domain to access a second domain. A request originates in the first domain to perform an action in the second domain. The request indicates a user of the first domain on whose behalf the request was originated. The access request is received by an adapter in the second domain. The adapter requests an access token for a user of the second domain who corresponds to the user of the first domain. A mapping table is used to identify which user in the second domain corresponds to the user in the first domain. Once the correct user of the second domain is identified, an access token for that user is returned to the adapter. The adapter then carries out the requested action by using the access token to impersonate the user of the second domain.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2003Date of Patent: September 25, 2007Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Steve Jamieson, Anil Balakrishnan, Christopher Robert Houser, Rex George Torres, Joseph W. Sharp, Guy Paul Larsen, Douglas R. Carrell

Patent number: 7251732Abstract: A mechanism that synchronizes passwords maintained for plural domains. A user maintains accounts in two domains. The first and second domains each maintain tables correlating userIDs with passwords, such that the same user's password can be different in the different domains. A database stores tables that correlate a given user's userID/password combination in the first domain with his corresponding userID/password combination in the second domain. The database is used to sign the user onto one domain when the user is working in the other domain. When the user changes his password in the first domain, the change is reported to the database, so that the database stores the current password. Optionally, the password change may be reported to the second domain, such that the user will have the same password in both domains.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2003Date of Patent: July 31, 2007Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Steve Jamieson, Anil Balakrishnan, Christopher Robert Houser, Rex George Torres, Guy Paul Larsen, Joseph W.
