20100315419Systems and Methods for Estimating a Parameter for a 3D model - The present invention estimates parameters for 3D models. Parameters may include, without limitation, surface topology, edge geometry, luminous or reflective characteristics, visual properties, characterization of noise in the signal, or other. A metric is estimated by quantifying a relationship between a received signal and a reference signal. The metric is then utilized to determine a parameter for a 3D model. The metric may include a measurement such as the cross-correlation of the received signal and the reference signal, or standard deviation of the difference of the received signal and the reference signal, for example. The parameter obtained may then be used to create a reference signal for determination of another parameter.12-16-2010

20110176050LENS ACTUATOR - A flexible lens may be actuated to change its focal length by a deployable lens actuator. The lens actuator translates a rotational motion of an outer frame into a linear radial motion of a plurality of linear elements. The linear elements have fixed pins, which may be slidably coupled to cam pockets in the outer frame. The cam pockets have a gradually varying distance from the center of the outer frame. The rotation of the outer frame thus drives the cam pockets to slide about the pins, thereby causing radial motions of the linear elements. The linear elements stretch a flexible lens, thereby changing a curvature of the flexible lens.07-21-2011

20100319060PROCESS AND SYSTEM FOR COMPREHENSIVE IT DISCOVERY WITHOUT CREDENTIALS - A method and system for discovering dependencies, configurations and utilizations among IT resources are disclosed. A discovery team writes a prediscovery script without requesting credentials and sends it to a system administrator (SA) who already has necessary credentials to execute the prediscovery script. Then, the SA reviews the prediscovery script and executes the prediscovery script on a target server. While or after executing the prediscovery script, the target server generates a result of an execution of the prediscovery script and provides the result to an analysis system. The analysis system analyzes and parses the result and generates a user-friendly data (e.g., graph or spreadsheet) that represents the result. Then, the analysis system provides the user-friendly data to the discovery team. The analysis system does not require credentials and does not directly communicate with the target server except receiving the result of the executed prediscovery script from the target server.12-16-2010
