Abstract:
systems and methods for image processing, comprising receiving a video frame, coding a first portion of the video frame at a different quality than a second portion of the video frame, based on an optical property, and displaying the video frame.
Abstract:
A conferencing system includes a mixer operable to process audio and video packets received from a plurality of endpoint devices, and to transmit a processed audio / video stream back to the endpoint devices. A server connects with the mixer and the endpoint devices. The server is operable to send a first transmission to a first endpoint device that causes the first endpoint device to stop transmitting video packets to the mixer. The server is further operable to send a second transmission to a second endpoint device that causes the second endpoint to start transmitting video packets to the mixer. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
Abstract:
Some implementations of the invention involve forming "logical" or "virtual" devices by aggregating a plurality of physical devices. The physical devices may be, for example, controllers, RFID readers and/or storage devices. Some logical devices comprise components of physical devices, such as individual antennas from a plurality of RFID readers. The physical devices may be located near one another or may be distributed over a wide geographical area. Logical device definitions can also be concatenated to include devices having two or more levels of logical device definitions. A single logical device grouping may include physical devices at differing levels of a network hierarchy.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving static profiles each comprising one or more properties of an operating environment, receiving a dynamic profile for identifying a configuration of an interface based on the static profile associated with said dynamic profile, associating the dynamic profile with one of the static profiles based on the operating environment of the interface, and automatically updating the association upon identifying a change in the operating environment. An apparatus is also disclosed.

Abstract:
A network device is disclosed. The network device includes a port to allow the device to communicate on a full bandwidth channel, a main processor to control reception and transmission of data and a compressor. The compressor identifies repeated fixed sequences in the data, and replaces repeated fixed sequences with an identifier sequence, a count of repetitions and the fixed sequence. The network device may have a decompressor instead of, or in addition to, the compressor that can decompress received data that is compressed.
Abstract:
A system that packetizes telephone calls using loss-less codecs for transmission over a communication link. The system includes a call admission control mechanism that admits calls for transmission over the communication link. An adaptive system which monitors bandwidth usage and which dynamically provides a feedback loop to the CAC system. The bandwidth allocation for transmission of the calls and the admission of calls is based upon actual bandwidth usage conditions in the system.

Abstract:
A conferencing system (10) includes a mixer (12) operable to process audio and video packets received from a plurality of endpoint devices (15, 16, 17, 19, 21 ), and to transmit a processed audio / video stream back to the endpoint devices (15, 16, 17, 19, 21). The endpoint devices (15, 16, 17, 19, 21) may be configured with an associated video camera (18, 20, 22). A server (11) connects with the mixer (12) and the endpoint devices (15, 16, 17, 19, 21). The server (11) is operable to send a first transmission to a first endpoint device (17) that causes the first endpoint device (17) to stop transmitting video packets to the mixer (12). The server (11) is further operable to send a second transmission to a second endpoint device (21 ) that causes the second endpoint device (21) to start transmitting video packets to the mixer.
