Abstract: Computer implemented methods for interactively modifying a video image or avatar image is provided. The video image or avatar can be transmitted or shared between a first user and a second user using a computer program that is executed on at least one computer in a computer network. Additionally, the first user and the second user interact through respective computing systems that are at least partially executing the computer program. One method includes a video capture system interfaced with the computer program that can be used to capture substantial real-time video of the first user. The method continues by identifying components of the video image of the first user that can be modified using real- time effects in the captured real-time video. In another operation, the method identifies controller input from either the first user or the second user. The controller input detected by the computing system is identified, to determine which of the identified components of the first user will be modified. In response to the identified controller input, another operation of the method augments the real-time video captured of the first user by applying the real-time effects to the identified components of the first user. The method then includes displaying the augmented real-time video of the first user on a screen connected to the computing system of one or both of the first and second users.

Abstract: Cell processor task management in a cell processor having a main memory, one or more power processor units (PPU) and one or more synergistic processing units (SPU), each SPU having a processor and a local memory is described. An SPU task manager (STM) running on one or more of the SPUs reads one or more task definitions stored in the main memory into the local memory of a selected SPU. Based on information contained in the task definitions the SPU loads code and/or data related to the task definitions from the main memory into the local memory associated with the selected SPU. The selected SPU then performs one or more tasks using the code and/or data.

Abstract: A system and method for conditioning execution of. a control function on a determination of whether or not a person's attention is directed toward a predetermined device. The method involves acquiring data concerning the activity of a person 10 who is in the proximity of the device 20,20’, the data being in the form of one or more temporal samples. One or more of the temporal samples is then analyzed to determine if the person's activity during the time of the analyzed samples indicates that the person's attention is not directed toward the device 20, 20’. The results of the determination are used to ascertain whether or not the control function should be performed.

Abstract: A data switch, a method and a computer program are provided for the transfer of data between multiple bus units in a memory system. Each bus unit is connected to a corresponding data ramp. Each data ramp is only directly connected to the adjacent data ramps. This forms at least one data ring that enables the transfer of data from each bus unit to any other bus unit in the memory system. A central arbiter manages the transfer of data between the data ramps and the transfer of data between the data ramp and its corresponding bus unit. A preferred embodiment contains four data rings, wherein two data rings transfer data clockwise and two data rings transfer data counter-clockwise.
