20100318832 | HANG RECOVERY IN SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS - Various embodiments provide a guard mechanism that is configured to prevent transmission of synchronous function calls to hung application components. In at least some embodiments, the guard mechanism receives a synchronous function call that is intended for an application component. Before permitting the synchronous function call to be transmitted to the application component, the guard mechanism determines whether the component is hung. Responsive to determining that the component is not hung, the guard mechanism permits the synchronous function call to be transmitted to the component. If, however, the guard mechanism determines that the application component is hung, a hung component recovery process is initiated. | 12-16-2010 |
20120066616 | MESSAGE QUEUE MANAGEMENT - Various embodiments provide message queue management techniques designed to reduce the likelihood of multi-component applications becoming nonresponsive and enable recovery options for individual components if they do become nonresponsive. In at least some embodiments, a message queue manager detects when a component of an application interface becomes nonresponsive and detaches the component from a shared message queue. The shared message queue can continue to process messages for other responsive components while messaging for the nonresponsive component is managed via a separate queue. The message queue manager can also notify a user regarding the nonresponsive component and provide the user with options to facilitate recovery of the nonresponsive component. Further, in at least some embodiments, the message queue manager can monitor a detached component and reattach the detached component when it becomes responsive again. | 03-15-2012 |
20120216072 | HANG RECOVERY IN SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS - Various embodiments provide a guard mechanism that is configured to prevent transmission of synchronous function calls to hung application components. In at least some embodiments, a hang resistance application layer intercepts a synchronous function call that is intended for an application component. Before permitting the synchronous function call to be transmitted to the application component, the hang resistance application layer determines whether the application component is hung by transmitting a message other than the synchronous function call to the application component that requests that a response be received before transmission of the synchronous function call to the application component is permitted. Responsive to determining that the component is hung, a hung component recovery process is initiated. | 08-23-2012 |

A control mechanism is coupled to the plurality of camera modules to control operation of each of the plurality of camera modules and to switch between different camera modules for viewing. A display system coupled to the control mechanism to show the real time video images. A recording device is coupled to the control mechanism for storing the real time video images. | 02-11-2010 |
20100175323 | VIRTUAL GUARD GATE FOR A GATED COMMUNITY AND METHOD THERFOR - A virtual guard gate for a gated community has at least one camera positioned proximate an entrance gate of the gated community. A monitoring station monitor is provided for displaying images captured by the at least one camera located in an off site monitoring station. Receivers are located in a plurality of homes of the gated community for receiving the images captured by the at least one camera. An access device is located in the monitoring station and in each house within the gated community. The access device is used for opening the entrance gate when the images have been verified by one of an individual in the monitoring station or in one of the homes. | 07-15-2010 |
20100194884 | DRIVER OBSERVATION AND SECURITY SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREFOR - A driver observation and security system has at least one sensor located on a vehicle. The sensor is used to indicate unauthorized entry into the vehicle. At least one interior camera module is mounted in an interior of the vehicle. The interior camera module provides real time images of the interior of the vehicle when the at least one sensor indicates unauthorized entry into the vehicle. A transmitter is used for transmitting the real time video images for viewing at a remote location. A location unit is located on the vehicle for sending a signal indicating a present location of the vehicle. | 08-05-2010 |
20100194885 | MOTORCYCLE SECURITY SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREFOR - A security system for an open compartment vehicle has at least one sensor located on the open compartment vehicle. The at least one sensor indicates one of movement of the open compartment vehicle or an object being within a predetermined distance of the open compartment vehicle. At least one camera module is mounted on the open compartment vehicle and positioned to provides real time images of a sitting area of the open compartment vehicle. A transmitter is provided for transmitting the real time video images for viewing at a remote location. | 08-05-2010 |
20100198463 | DRIVER OBSERVATION AND SECURITY SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREFOR - A driver observation and security system has a plurality of sensors located on a vehicle. Te sensors will indicate unauthorized entry into the vehicle. A plurality of interior camera modules is mounted in an interior of a vehicle. The interior camera modules provide real time images of the interior of the vehicle when at least one of the plurality of sensors indicates unauthorized entry into the vehicle. A control mechanism is coupled to the plurality of interior camera modules to control operation of each of the plurality of interior camera modules. A recording device is coupled to the control mechanism for storing the real time video images. A transmitter is coupled to the control mechanism for transmitting the real time video images for viewing at a remote location. | 08-05-2010 |
20110292214 | VIRTUAL GUARD GATE FOR A GATED COMMUNITY AND METHOD THEREFOR - A modular fence has at least one post member having a hollow interior section. At least one rail having a hollow interior section is provided. The rail is coupled to the post so the hollow interior section of the post member is in communication with the hollow interior section of the rail. A holding device may be formed on a bottom section of the post member to position the modular fence in an upright position. A plurality of openings is formed in the post member and the rail. Wiring is positioned in the interior section of the post and the interior section of the rail. Connectors are attached to the wiring. Security equipment is attached to the wiring via the connectors, wherein the security equipment is attached to at least one of the post member or rail through one of the plurality of openings. | 12-01-2011 |
