Patent number: 7956737Abstract: Trouble ticket management automates existing institutional operational processes by engaging various external trouble ticketing systems. These systems feed correlated alarm events, trouble analysis results, and trouble ticket information to a particular institutional network. Correlated alarm feeds, including trouble ticket information, are correlated and sent to institutional trouble ticket management systems. The alarms are processed and remedy tickets are created. The remedy tickets interact with remedy tickets at the institutional trouble ticket management systems.

Publication number: 20070205180Abstract: A polymer resist having a good flow is used in a nanoimprint lithography. A residual layer remained is thus thinner. Hence, a time spent for etching the residual layer is reduced. And a pattern obtained after the nanoimprint lithography will not be ruined because of a long-time etching. Nevertheless, the present invention can be applied on a hard substrate, like a silicon chip, or a soft substrate, like PET.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2007Publication date: September 6, 2007Applicant: National Cheng Kung UniversityInventors: Weng-Chung Liao, Steve Hsu, Min-Hsiung Hon, Chau-Nan Hong

Publication number: 20070148491Abstract: Disclosed is an electroluminescent conjugated polymer end-capped with organometallic complex. The end-capped conjugated polymer may have a partial structure represented by the following formula (I): wherein M is a metal selected from the group consisting of Ir, Os, Pt, Pb, Re, and Ru; R1 and R2 may be the same or different and each represent a hydrogen atom or a substituent; Ar1 and Ar2 may be the same or different and each represent a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group containing nitrogen for forming a coordination bond with M; and n is an integer of from 20 to 50. The end-capped conjugated polymers of the present invention may be used as an electroluminescent medium in a light-emitting element or a light-emitting device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2005Publication date: June 28, 2007Inventors: Steve Hsu, Po-I Lee

Patent number: 7177935Abstract: A storage area network (SAN) includes a plurality of digital data processors, each with a file system that effects access to one or more storage devices coupled to the SAN, for example, via an interconnect fabric. A process (e.g., executing on a manager digital data processor) responds to a file system over-extension notification from at least a selected one of the digital data processors, e.g., by assigning a further storage device to the selected digital data processor. The type of response is, more particularly, determined in accord with a hierarchically defined policy inherited, in whole or in part, from one or more hierarchical groups of which the digital data processor is a member.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2001Date of Patent: February 13, 2007Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Paul Lawrence Bradshaw, Brian Augustine Delaire, Daniel Graham Douglas, Douglas Paul Dunham, Tina Lynn Dunton, David Wilson Groves, Vincent Jomartin Hoang, Nancy Lott Hobbs, His Tai (Steve) Hsu, Louis Leo Lorber, Ngoc V.

Method of pose estimation and model refinement for video representation of a three dimensional scene
Patent number: 6985620Abstract: The present invention is embodied in a video flashlight method. This method creates virtual images of a scene using a dynamically updated three-dimensional model of the scene and at least one video sequence of images. An estimate of the camera pose is generated by comparing a present image to the three-dimensional model. Next, relevant features of the model are selected based on the estimated pose. The relevant features are then virtually projected onto the estimated pose and matched to features of the image. Matching errors are measured between the relevant features of the virtual projection and the features of the image. The estimated pose is then updated to reduce these matching errors. The model is also refined with updated information from the image. Meanwhile, a viewpoint for a virtual image is selected. The virtual image is then created by projecting the dynamically updated three-dimensional model onto the selected virtual viewpoint.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2001Date of Patent: January 10, 2006Assignee: Sarnoff CorporationInventors: Harpreet Singh Sawhney, Rakesh Kumar, Steve Hsu, Supun Samarasekera -
