Abstract: An n-lane automatic license plate recognition system (where n is an integer greater than one) and a method for dropping video frames in this system is disclosed. The method includes receiving, at an input of a first stage of a two-stage restrictor, a plurality of video frames. In the first stage of the two-stage restrictor, a subset of the plurality of video frames is dropped. An output of the first stage is coupled to an input of a second stage of the two-stage restrictor such that receiving and non-receiving of individual ones the plurality of video frames by the second stage is controlled by the first stage. In the second stage after the first stage, a further subset of the plurality of video frames is dropped to effect controlled frame input into a processor that performs at least one recognition analytic on remaining video frames of the plurality of video frames. The dropping of the further subset is based on at least one drop condition including a lane-specific drop condition.

Abstract: A physical security system that includes multiple server nodes may be upgraded by receiving an upgrade installation package from a client and propagating the installation package between at least two of the server nodes. One of the server nodes (“source server”) receives the installation package from the client and another of the server nodes (“requesting server”) requests and receives the installation package from the source server. To transfer the installation package from the source to the requesting server, the source server notifies the requesting server that the installation package is present at the source server, the requesting server then sends the source server a request for the installation package, and the source server then sends the installation package to the requesting server in response to the request. The requesting server may then be upgraded by running the installation package.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for processing waitlisted reservations. In response to detecting an event that impacts an availability of inventory in a market, a waitlist clearance processes may identify waitlisted reservation records that include a travel solution connecting an origin-destination pair in the market. Reservation records having travel solutions that are competing for available inventory may be grouped together, and the reservation records ranked within the group. Confirmation of waitlisted travel solutions in the highest ranked reservation record may be requested, and if availability is sufficient to accommodate the waitlisted travel solution, the waitlisted travel solution confirmed.

Abstract: A safety starter circuit for a gas discharge lamp includes a series arrangement of a glow switch starter, a resistive element, and a thermally controlled switching element. The thermally controlled switching element is in a heat transfer relationship with the resistive element so that the thermally controlled switching element is effectively heated by heat generated in the resistive element. The thermally controlled switching element is designed to make a transition from a conductive state to a non-conductive state when its temperature exceeds a predetermined cut-off temperature. The thermally controlled switching element is arranged in a gas-tight casing.
