20120236715 | Measurement Based Admission Control Using Explicit Congestion Notification In A Partitioned Network - A device and method for implementing a measurement based admission control (MBAC) protocol consists of various devices having software modules running thereon which are capable of calculating a congestion level based upon the detection of incoming packets having Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) bits set by one or more routers in an encrypted core domain of a partitioned network. Upon detecting a certain congestion level at an egress edge of the network, a UDP packet is transmitted back to the ingress edge of the network wherein certain types or percentages of certain types of packets are blocked to relieve the congestion on the network. Once the congestion level on the network falls below a certain level, those packets may be transmitted. | 09-20-2012 |
20120033082 | System and Method for Spatial Division Multiplexing Detection - A system and method for detecting and monitoring one or more targets uses surveillance monitors that are selectively aligned in pre-determined directions to form an integrated field of view (IFOV). The IFOV or portions thereof may be illuminated using a scanning laser beam. Information provided by the surveillance monitors is selectively processed in an order determined based on a pre-determined target search and monitoring algorithm. Embodiments are directed to increasing efficiency of detecting or monitoring targets and, in particular, multiple moving targets. | 02-09-2012 |
20110176228 | Techniques For Steering An Optical Beam - Reflectors having concave reflecting surfaces (e.g., parabolic reflectors) and electronically controlled beam steering elements are used for rapid, low-diversion, wide angle, and precision steering of optical beams, including laser beams. | 07-21-2011 |
20110123067 | Method And System for Tracking a Target - A method and system for tracking one or more targets is described. The method includes the step of selecting a first template having a first image of a target and cyclically repeated steps of accumulating new images of the target, producing updated templates containing the new images, and tracking the target using the updated templates. Embodiments of the method use techniques directed to detection and mitigation of target occlusion events. | 05-26-2011 |
20110122879 | SYSTEM FOR SEAMLESS CONNECTION OF REAL AND VIRTUAL NETWORKS - A device, based on a standard router, that provides a seamless connection between real nodes and virtual, simulated nodes for the flow of both control and application traffic, such that new technologies and applications can be tested on a simulated large scale network with only a few real nodes. | 05-26-2011 |
20110064031 | Method and System for Wireless VoIP Communications - Methods, an apparatus, and a system for communications using multiplexed packets including payloads of the current and at least one preceding packet are disclosed. The invention is able to implement both robustness and a degree of compression while still being able to operate in environments of limited bandwidth having high rates of packet loss, such as in wireless VoIP networks. | 03-17-2011 |
20110007407 | Techniques For Steering An Optical Beam - Reflectors having concave reflecting surfaces (e.g., parabolic reflectors) and electronically controlled beam steering elements are used for rapid, low-diversion, wide-angle and precision steering of optical beams, including laser beams. | 01-13-2011 |
20100268737 | Method and System for Searching a Database of Graphical Data - A method and system for searching a database of graphical data are described. Embodiments of the invention use accelerated image-comparing techniques based on an adaptation of the Levenshtein algorithm for matching or searching one-dimensional data strings for use with recognizing pre-selected targets in graphical contents of 2D images. | 10-21-2010 |
