Abstract: Techniques of operating a GRC processing platform involve terminating retrieval activity in a data source when the data source indicates that there is no data to be obtained that satisfies a specified logical condition. Along these lines, a user of the GRC processing platform provides instructions to retrieve data from an external data source. As part of the data retrieval, the GRC processing platform accesses data from the external source and transforms the data from a first format (e.g., XML) to a second format (e.g., XML) appropriate for an application that runs on the GRC processing platform. After the transformation, the GRC processing platform receives an indication that the transformed data satisfies a logical condition indicating that the data being retrieved is not desired for the application. In this case, the GRC processing platform terminates the data retrieval.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and a system for enhancing accuracy of human counting in at least one frame of a captured image in a real-time in a predefined area. The present invention detects human in one or more frames by using at least one human detection modality for obtaining the characteristic result of the captured image. The invention further calculates an activity probability associated with each human detection modality. The characteristic results and the activity probability are selectively integrated by using a fusion technique for enhancing the accuracy of the human count and for selecting the most accurate human detection modality. The human is then performed based on the selection of the most accurate human detection modality.

Abstract: A communication device and associated method which is configured to utilize an API constraint language for communication of resource constraints between different layers of a communication stack. A first layer of the communication stack executing in a first communication device may receive application programming interface (API) messages from a second layer of the communication stack also executing in the first communication device. In addition, the first layer may receive resource constraints with the one or more API messages. These one or more resource constraints may be generated by the second layer, or other software executing in the communication device. The first layer may then execute communication functions based on the API messages and subject to the resource constraints. The resource constraints may affect usage of hardware and/or software resources of the first communication device during execution of the communication functions.

Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) includes a first I/O cell, a logic cell, a trigger signal generation circuit, and a second I/O cell having a voltage selection pin. I/O interfaces of the first I/O cell receive first and second supply voltages, respectively, and I/O interfaces of the second I/O cell receive third and fourth supply voltages, respectively. The first I/O cell generates a first trigger signal when the first supply voltage reaches a first predetermined voltage. The logic cell receives the first trigger signal and generates a safe-state signal. The trigger signal generation circuit generates a second trigger signal when the third supply voltage reaches a second predetermined voltage. The voltage selection pin receives the safe-state signal and the second trigger signal and sets the second I/O cell in a safe-state mode, which protects the second I/O cell from over voltage damage.

Abstract: A method of reducing glare may include sensing a first light source with a second vehicle, and sensing a second light source with a first vehicle and oscillating a first light source ICF between a substantially opaque state and a substantially clear state on a first schedule. A second windscreen ICF may be oscillating between the substantially opaque state and the substantially clear state on a second schedule different from the first schedule. A position of the light source may be sensed and an eye position of the occupant estimated. An intersecting region of the selectively-darkenable ICF, which is located substantially along a line from the position of the light source to the eye position, is calculated. The intersecting region of the ICF is darkened, such that a reduced amount of light from the light source passes through the intersecting region.
