  • Publication number: 20170046491
    Abstract: A content extraction system can analyze a network data stream communicated among nodes of a network. The content extraction system can include non-transitory computer storage configured to store at least a portion of the network data stream and a hardware processor in communication with the non-transitory computer storage. The hardware processor can be programmed to access the at least a portion of the network data stream, apply a machine learning technique to the at least a portion of the network data stream to extract an information content, and store the information content in the non-transitory computer storage. In various implementations, the content extraction system can be applied to geographic information services, prescription medication information, or the Internet of Things.

  • Patent number: 8885921
    Abstract: Anti-piracy measures for stereoscopic 3D content media displayed in dual lens projection systems are achieved by the forensic marking of each image in a stereoscopic image pair with separate component forensic marks or dots associated with each image of an image pair. In one example, the component mark used for marking one image of the pair is identical to the component forensic mark used for marking the other image of the pair. In another example, the component marks are different from each other. When superimposed over each other in proper alignment, the two component marks form a composite forensic mark. In this latter example, they each lack one or more of the forensic dots or shapes existing in the composite mark, and the component marks may or may not have one or more corresponding forensic dots or shapes in common.
