Abstract: In one implementation, the present invention provides a mechanism for balanced ad-hoc network formation. To achieve the for balanced ad-hoc network formation, the present invention sends the metric information with DIO control message. A new metric container type is introduced in RPL to hold the metric information, and select the parent with minimum path cost, and switch the parent with minimum path cost, as per the defined logic. A stateless metric considers that the average traffic flow from each node is approximately same. The stateless metric directly uses the number of routing table entries (RTsize) to decide which path to use. A stateful metric, wherein the node keeps a track of packets processed per second by itself. For stateful metric, the node maintains packets processed rate (PPR) variable, which is then used as the metric.

Abstract: A method for detecting a presence of at least one face in at least one image is comprises creating an image patch map based on a plurality of face patches identified for at least one window in the in at least one image, estimating a bounding box, and searching within the bounding box to detect presence of the at least one face in the at least one image. The present disclosure discloses use of any classifier which works on top of any feature representation to identify face patches and then using a masking system to identify bounding boxes.

Abstract: A personal media broadcasting system enables video distribution over a computer network and allows a user to view and control media sources over a computer network from a remote location. A personal broadcaster receives an input from one or more types of media sources, digitizes and compresses the content, and streams the compressed media over a computer network to a media player running on any of a wide range of client devices for viewing the media. The system may allow the user to issue control commands (e.g., “channel up”) from the media player to the broadcaster, causing the source device to execute the commands. The broadcaster and the media player may employ several techniques for buffering, transmitting, and viewing the content to improve the user's experience.
