| 20110175900 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MESOSCOPIC GEOMETRY MODULATION - A computer-implemented method for mesoscopic geometry modulation. The method includes determining a first set of mesoscopic details associated with an object by applying a filter to an image of an object, where mesoscopic details included in the first set of mesoscopic details are detectable in the image of the object and are not detectable when generating a coarse geometry reconstruction of the object, and generating a three-dimensional model for the object by modulating the coarse geometry with the first set of mesoscopic details. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20110175912 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MESOSCOPIC GEOMETRY MODULATION - A computer-implemented method for generating a three-dimensional model of an object. The method includes generating a coarse geometry mesh of the object; calculating an optimization for the coarse geometry mesh based on photometric consistency and surface consistency associated with the coarse geometry mesh; and refining the coarse geometry mesh with the optimization to generate the three-dimensional model for the object. | 07-21-2011 |

| 20110184576 | ROBUST AUTOMATED HIERARCHICAL DETERMINATION FOR POWER MONITORING SYSTEMS - An automated hierarchy classification algorithm that searches for a child monitoring device's parent in a utility monitoring system by segmenting the device data measured by a given device pair and calculating a segment correlation coefficient for each data segment. Devices to be placed in the hierarchy are filtered by calculating the variance of their device data and eliminating devices with a low variance. Devices are ranked by computing the sum of squares of their device data and ordering the devices accordingly from highest to lowest. The device data is segmented and segment correlation coefficients are averaged to produce an overall correlation coefficient. Criteria are evaluated to determine whether a device pair is linked. A correlation coefficient is calculated using the complete data series of a device pair, and the solution produced by this approach is compared with the solution produced by segmenting the device data. If the solutions disagree, a likely candidate is determined from a fuzzy logic module. | 07-28-2011 |

| 20080238701 | Interactive interface within a monitoring and control device - A power monitoring device in a power utility system having an interactive display that allows an end user of the power monitoring device to communicate voice and optionally video data over the Internet protocol with a support operator at a remote system. The interactive display includes an input panel for accepting user inputs, and a video display for displaying power-related data monitored by the power monitoring device. The power-related data is communicated over a communications medium, such as Ethernet, to the remote system for diagnostics, troubleshooting, setup and configuration, and the like. The input panel features one-touch voice and optionally video communication with a support operator by an end user standing in front of the interactive display. The remote system can also download firmware or software upgrades to the power monitoring device via the communications medium according to the Internet protocol. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20090066528 | Automated configuration of a power monitoring system using hierarchical context - Methods of automatically configuring a power monitoring system based upon the locations of the monitoring devices in a hierarchy representing the spatial interrelationships of the monitoring devices. The power monitoring system includes a host computer communicatively coupled to a plurality of monitoring devices arranged in a hierarchy in an electrical system. Software on the host computer may execute any or all of an alarm aggregation algorithm for aggregating multiple alarms based on device location; a feature distribution algorithm for enabling/disabling selected device features; an evaluation algorithm for evaluating device applications; a device check algorithm for detecting flawed data; a custom configuration algorithm for customized configuration of thresholds on device-by-device basis; a host computer configuration algorithm for configuring the host computer; a redundancy algorithm for verifying an electrical event; an alarm configuration algorithm for configuring device thresholds; and a configuration error checking algorithm for detecting nomenclature issues. | 03-12-2009 |

| 20110239153 | POINTER TOOL WITH TOUCH-ENABLED PRECISE PLACEMENT - A pointer tool in a touch-screen display is disclosed. The method includes activating a pointer tool in a touch screen display in response to contact with an area of the touch screen and persisting the displaying of the pointer tool in the touch screen display after the contact with the touch screen is removed. Once editing data is received, the pointer tool is removed from the touch screen display. | 09-29-2011 |
