  • Using read weight affinities to optimize the reading of block cache data
    Patent number: 10666719
    Abstract: A system for directing reads includes an input interface and a processor. The input interface is to receive a request to read from a plurality of servers. The processor is to determine a set of weights for a set of healthy servers of the plurality of servers and determine a server to receive the request based at least in part on the set of weights.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and system for managing an interactive video display system
    Publication number: 20050088407
    Abstract: A method for managing an interactive video display system. A plurality of video spots are displayed on the interactive video display system. Data based on interaction with the interactive video display system corresponding to video spots of the plurality of video spots is gathered. The data is stored, wherein the data is for use in managing presentation of the video spots. By analyzing data relating to different video spots, popularity and other metrics may be determined for the video spots, providing useful information for managing the presentation of the video spots.

  • System and method for parameter-based image synthesis using hierarchical networks
    Patent number: 5649086
    Abstract: Synthesis of novel images from example images is achieved by interpolating among example images based on user selection of parameter values in a hierarchy of networks referred to as parent networks and child networks. Child networks describe distinct physical characteristics of the image, such as thickness of eyebrows. Parent networks describe more general or abstract characteristics related to the image, such as emotional states expressed by the image.
