  • Patent number: 9704268
    Abstract: A device for determining information from images using sensor data may include at least one processor circuit. The at least one processor circuit may be configured to receive a series of images from an image capture device, where each image of the series of images includes a representation of a physical object. The at least one processor circuit may be further configured to receive a series of sensor data items from at least one sensor device, where each of the series of sensor data items corresponds to one of the sequence of images. The at least one processor circuit may be further configured to determine a physical length of the physical object based at least in part on the series of images and the corresponding series of sensor data items.

  • Patent number: 9609373
    Abstract: A system for presentation timeline synchronization across audio-video (AV) streams associated with a common event may include memory and a processor. The processor may be configured to receive metadata items from a user device during a live event, the metadata items corresponding to points-in-time marked by the user while being presented with an audio-video (AV) stream associated with the live event. The metadata items may include timing indicators that are indicative of the marked points-in-time relative to the start of the live event. The processor may be configured to provide to the user device with other AV streams associated with the live event that were available at one of the points-in-time marked by the user. The processor may be configured to provide the other AV streams to the user device beginning with a frame that corresponds to the one of the points-in-time marked by the user.

  • Publication number: 20150128174
    Abstract: A system for selecting audio-video (AV) streams associated with an event may include a processor and a memory. The processor may be configured to determine when a primary audio-video (AV) stream generated by a primary content producer for an event is being transmitted to a device of a user. The processor may be configured to select alternative AV streams generated by alternative content producers for the event based at least on attributes of the user, characteristics of the alternative content producers, and/or action events occurring within the event. In one or more implementations, the attributes of the user may include associations of the user with one or more of the alternative content producers in a social network. The processor may be configured to provide representations of the selected alternative AV streams to the device for selection by the user in connection with a display of the primary AV stream.

  • Patent number: 6788705
    Abstract: Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) modems allow high-speed data to be sent over telephone lines normally used for analog voice service. In cases of impaired DSL line performance, diagnostic information is passed over a more stable part of the channel, i.e. the voice band channel. For example, analog modems may be used to communicate over the voice band channel. The diagnostic information may include various types of information that the two non-connecting DSL modems see on their respective sides of the line. For example, all the parameters that each of the DSL modems establish during start-up can be part of the diagnostic payload transmitted by the analog modems. Parameters such as settings of frequency domain equalizer, line bit rates, settings of time domain equalizer, SNR, location within startup of start-up failure, signal shape, Reed-Solomon values, etc. may be passed.
