Abstract:
Segments of interest within video footage are identified automatically. Such segments of interest include portions of the footage which were taken using a hand held camera and which show a static subject, portions which track the motion of a moving subject, and portions which show an abrupt event. Methods are presented for identifying such segments, based on motion and/or colour analysis of the video footage or based on observations of discontinuities in the video footage following a period of stability.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for improving fibre channel packet delivery. Techniques are provided for the in-order delivery of packets by blocking incoming packets associated with a port channel change at a fibre channel switch and sending flush messages onto links associated with a port channel change. Upon receiving acknowledgments for the flush messages, incoming packets are unblocked.
Abstract:
A port shutdown protocol coordinates among various components involved in the process of administratively bringing down a link at both ends of a link connecting two switches. Execution of the protocol avoids or reduces frame drops and/or reordering. In this protocol, peer switches perform various actions when bringing down an ISL in a synchronized manner. In one implementation, this protocol uses the Exchange Peer Protocol (EPP) as the underlying transport to carry the port shutdown protocol frames.
Abstract:
Process for producing polymer mixtures comprising at least one polymer (A) and comprising at least one component (B), comprising the following steps: (a) providing (A) in the form of granules, (b) providing (B) in the form of liquid solution and/or dispersion in a dispersion medium, (c) by means of an atomizer, applying droplets of the solution and/or dispersion provided in step (b) to the granules provided in step (a), (d) drying the granules obtained in step (c), and (e) optionally carrying out one or more shaping steps.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for intercepting requests from applications installed on a mobile device. The requests are system calls that establish communication channels for the mobile device. The requests are captured and held from reaching TCP/IP stack of an operating system executing on the mobile device. An intercepted request is aggregated with other intercepted requests. The aggregated requests are bundled together and released to the operating system upon the detection of a triggering event. The capture, holding, and aggregation of requests from applications occur when the mobile device is in a background mode.
Abstract:
Sterile formulation comprising glucocorticosteroids, process for the preparation of the sterile formulation and method of using the same are provided. The present invention also relates to sterile formulation comprising budesonide, process for the preparation of the sterile formulation and method of using the same.
Abstract:
A transmission node for use in a wireless communication network includes a first CPRI unit for transmitting auxiliary data to a second CPRI unit in the transmission node. A memory unit stores control word data of the auxiliary data. A memory write block is connected between the first CPRI unit and the memory unit for writing the control word data to the memory unit based on a first set of frame timing signals received from the first CPRI unit. A memory read and merge block is connected to the memory unit for reading the control word data stored in the memory unit based on a second set of frame timing signals, merging the control word data with IQ data, and transmitting the merged auxiliary data to the second CPRI unit.
Abstract:
Virtual data stores may be sparsely provisioned by virtual data storage services in a manner that controls risk of implementation resource shortages. Relationships between requested data storage space size, data storage server capacity, allocated data storage space size and/or allocated data storage space utilization may be tracked on a per data store, per customer, per data storage server, and/or a per virtual data storage service basis. For each such basis, a set of constraints may be specified to control the relationships. The set of constraints may be enforced during implementation resource allocation, and by migration of data storage space portions to different implementation resources as part of a sparse provisioning load balancing. Sparse provisioning details may be made explicit to virtual data storage service customers to varying degrees including explicit, aggregate on a per customer basis, and aggregate on a per virtual data storage service basis.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for ranking and importing business listings are provided. In one aspect, a processor receives a plurality of business listing groups, where each business listing group includes business listings. The processor selects a sample set of business listings from each business listing group for verification. The processor determines ranks for the business listing groups based on verification information indicating the accuracy of the business data in the selected sample set of business listings. The processor selects the highest ranked business listing group based on the verification information and imports the business listings in the selected business listing group into a set of business listing records for presentment to a user.
