  • Publication number: 20240111593
    Abstract: One example method includes gathering information regarding filesystem resources, based on the system resource information, identifying a thread pool size, starting a thread pool having the thread pool size, where the thread pool size is dynamically adjustable based on changes in the system resources, crawling a filesystem and identifying crawl jobs to be performed, adding the crawl jobs to the thread pool, and performing the crawl jobs. The method may further include slicing data in one or more directories that have been crawled.

  • Publication number: 20240111724
    Abstract: One example method includes, in response to completion of a portion of a crawling process performed in a filesystem, instantiating a slice creation process, receiving slicing criteria concerning the slice creation process, slicing filesystem data to create slices according to the slicing criteria, and servicing a query by returning a list that lists one or more of the slices. The slicing criteria may include a specified number of slices and/or a specified size for the slices.

  • Publication number: 20240096187
    Abstract: State-of-the-art object detection algorithms (e.g., EfficientDet, Faster-RCNN, and YOLO) and their variants are integrated into an end-to-end IoT cloud-based system deployment. The system can (1) receive real-time video streaming (RTSP/RTMP/SDP) from most CCTV systems and devices with cameras, (2) extract frames from the video streams, (3) feed the frames to multiple AI models simultaneously, and (4) compute a probability for the presence of fire and/or smoke. Based on custom risk thresholds, the outputs can be compiled programmatically into a video clip that is sent to a user automatically for real-time alerts.

  • Patent number: 9442186
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to time-of-flight (TOF) systems, and methods for use therewith, that substantially reduce interference that the TOF system may cause to at least one other system that is configured to wirelessly receive and respond to IR light signals. Some such embodiments involve emitting IR light having a low frequency (LF) power envelope that is shaped to substantially reduce frequency content within at least one frequency range known to be used by at least one other system that may be in close proximity to the TOF system. Such embodiments can also involve detecting at least a portion of the emitted RF modulated IR light that has reflected off one or more objects. A TOF system can produce depth images in dependence on results of the detecting, as well as update an application in dependence on the depth images.

  • Patent number: 8681124
    Abstract: A system recognizes user-object gesture interactions with the surface of a monitor display, with hover space defined spaced-apart from the display surface, or in virtual scroll regions defined on the periphery of the monitor display. The system recognizes user-object interactions, e.g., gestures, and can affect what is displayed commensurately. The system includes at least a first time-of-flight (TOF) system and at least one of a second TOF, a two-dimensional camera, and a mirror, each TOF system processing at least one of z-depth data and A-brightness data. User-object interactions, e.g., touching(s) of the display surface, location(s) in a hover region, or location(s) in a virtual scroll region, are recognized passively in that the user-object need not have capacitance, resistance, exert force, or deform during gesture interaction. The system may be attached retroactively to the monitor, which may be a large (>22 cm) monitor, or a small cell phone sized monitor.

  • Patent number: 8589033
    Abstract: Time-of-flight (TOF) three-dimensional sensing systems are deployed on or in a motor vehicle to image contact zones associated with potential contact between an avoidable object and the vehicle or vehicle frame and/or remotely controllable motorized moving door or liftgate. An algorithm processes depth data acquired by each TOF system to determine whether an avoidable object is in the associated contact zone. If present, a control signal issues to halt or reverse the mechanism moving the door. A stored database preferably includes a depth image of the contact zone absent any object, an image of the door, and volume of the door. Database images are compared to newly acquired depth images to identify pixel sensors whose depth values are statistically unlikely to represent background or the door. Pixels within the contact zone so identified are an object, and the control signal is issued.

  • Publication number: 20120011454
    Abstract: The present invention mines or extracts data present during interaction between at least two participants, for example in a chat session, a video session, etc. via the Internet. The data, which can include participant web camera generated video, audio, keyboard typed information, handwriting recognized information, is analyzed. Based upon the analysis, content-dependent information is determined and may be displayed to one or more participants in the chat session. In one aspect, a video foreground based upon a participant's generated video is combined with a customized computer generated background that is based upon data mined from the chat session. The customized background preferably is melded seamlessly with the participant's foreground data, preferably via background substitution that combines RGB video with depth data that predicts what background may substituted with new imagery. Content-based targeted information can include advertisement(s).

  • Publication number: 20110292181
    Abstract: User interaction with a device is sensed using a three-dimensional imaging system. The system preferably includes a library of user profiles and upon acquiring a three-dimensional images of a user can uniquely identify the user, and activate appliances according to user preferences in the user profile. The system can also use data from the acquired image of the user's face to confirm identity of the user, for purposes of creating a robust biometric password. Acquired three dimensional data can measure objects to provide automated, rapid and accurate measurement data, can provide image stabilization data for cameras and the like, and can create virtual three-dimensional avatars that mimic a user's movements and expressions and can participate in virtual world activities. Three-dimensional imaging enables a user to directly manipulate a modeled object in three-dimensional space.

  • Patent number: 6437262
    Abstract: A handle operating assembly suitable for use with an electric disconnect switch assembly having a circuit breaker. The handle operating assembly comprises a handle operator extending outward from the electric disconnect switch and movable between an ON and an OFF position and a face plate having a slot therein. The handle operator slidably moves in the slot between the OFF position and the ON position. The face plate mounts to the electric disconnect switch assembly and is positionable between a first position to prevent access to the circuit breaker and a second position to provide access to the circuit breaker. The handle operating assembly provides ease of accessibility to the electrical disconnect switch and ease of assembly.
