  • Patent number: 9247158
    Abstract: A portable video production system includes a stand, a prompter portion, a mirror, a piece of glass, and a measuring device. The stand includes a table and a plurality of legs, and is configured to adjust a height of the legs based on a height of a user. The prompter portion includes a plurality of legs and a plurality of supports, and the supports extend between the legs of the prompter portion. The mirror is connected between first and second supports of the plurality of supports, and is configured to reflect a display of a laptop. The piece of glass is connected between third and fourth supports of the plurality of supports, and reflects the reflection of the display from the mirror to provide a reflected image to the user and to enable a video to be filmed through the glass without the reflected image appearing in the video. The measuring component is connected to the table, and extends from the table and being of a first specific length to indicate a first distance for the user to stand from the table.

  • Patent number: 8810625
    Abstract: A remote video capture system includes a first camera, a control device, a video device, and a server. The first camera records a first video during a video shoot in response to a record signal from a remote device. The control device receives a record mode request signal associated with a first camera from the remote device and adjusts a view of the first camera based on received adjustment signals. The video device provides a video feed from the first camera to the remote device in response to the record mode request signal. The server is in communication with the first camera and with a second camera. The server creates a video chat session between the server and the remote device, provides a substantially real-time video from the second camera to the remote device via the video chat session, and stores the first video when the video shoot is completed.

  • Patent number: 7324982
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically debugging and optimizing an in-circuit test that is used to test a device under test on an automated tester is presented. The novel test debug and optimization technique extracts expert knowledge contained in a knowledge framework and automates the formulation of a valid stable, and preferably optimized, test for execution on an integrated circuit tester.

  • Patent number: 7089139
    Abstract: A method for configuring an automated in-circuit test debugger is presented. The novel test debug and optimization configuration technique configures expert knowledge into a knowledge framework for use by an automated test debug and optimization system for automating the formulation of a valid stable in-circuit test for execution on an integrated circuit tester. In a system that includes a rule-based controller for controlling interaction between the test-head controller of an integrated circuit tester and an automated debug system, the invention includes a knowledge framework and a rule-based editor. The knowledge framework stores test knowledge in the representation of rules that represent a debugging strategy. The rule-based editor facilitates the use of rules as knowledge to debug or optimize an in-circuit test that is to be executed on the integrated circuit tester.

  • Patent number: 6411982
    Abstract: A scheduling governor that regulates the number of scheduled tasks that are executed concurrently over a network computer system is presented. All task requests that are scheduled to be executed within a pre-specified interval of time, are serviced according to their priority. During heavy load times, the scheduling governor prevents overloads of the processing resources of the host computer by limiting the number of concurrently executing scheduled tasks to a pre-specified capacity dimension. Task requests that are unable to be run due to the governed cap on the number of allowed concurrently executing processes are given a priority to be executed once one of the fixed number of execution slots becomes available. Accordingly, the scheduling governor allows each scheduled task to be executed as close to its scheduled time as possible yet prevents system resource overload to improve efficiency and performance.
