  • Patent number: 11949848
    Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to a computer-implemented method that includes capturing image data using one or more cameras, wherein the image data includes a primary image and associated depth values. The method further includes encoding the image data in an image format. The encoded image data includes the primary image encoded in the image format and image metadata that includes a device element that includes a profile element indicative of an image type and a first camera element, wherein the first camera element includes an image element and a depth map based on the depth values. The method further includes, after the encoding, storing the image data in a file container based on the image format. The method further includes causing the primary image to be displayed.

  • Patent number: 11601180
    Abstract: A system described herein may determine transformations, differences, variations, etc. in radio frequency (“RF”) waveforms sent by a device in order to detect motion-based events. Models associated with the differences in such RF waveforms may be used to identify particular types of events, such as the presence of an individual in a room or other area, a type of motion, or other types of events. An interval or rate at which the device outputs RF waveforms may be modified, in order to increase the resolution of the determination of differences between the RF waveforms as sent and the RF waveforms as received, and/or to conserve power.

  • Patent number: 5845322
    Abstract: An architecture and method for communicating between multiple processors. In one embodiment, first data is transferred from a first processor into a first memory. In the present embodiment, multiplexing circuitry connects the first processor to the first and second memories, but the first processor only has access to the first memory. Similarly, second data is transferred from the second processor into the second memory. Multiplexing circuitry connects the second processor to the first and second memories, but the second processor only has access to the second memory. In the present embodiment, the multiplexing circuitry switches the connection between the first processor and the first and second memories and the second processor and the first and second memories. In so doing, the first processor is switched from having access only to the first memory to having access only to the second memory.
