20100315328 | INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE MEDIA SOURCES AND CORRESPONDING DISPLAYS - Mechanisms are provided for efficiently manipulating devices such as computer systems, cameras, recorders, sensors, etc., referred to herein as media sources. The media sources are connected to a control computer over a network. Output such as video and other data output from the media sources are provided on a display system having multiple displays where each display corresponds to a particular media source. Input devices such as keyboards, mice, and touchpads may be used to operate the control computer and control media sources based on cursor position. | 12-16-2010 |

20110033924 | Apparatus and Method for Filtering Biological Material - A method and apparatus for harvesting cells from a fluid so as to preserve the integrity of the cells when used in the diagnosis of cancer. The apparatus comprises a filter adapted to collect cells of a predetermined size, a fluid pathway arranged to transmit fluid to and from the filter, a pump which provide a positive pressure which urges the fluid to the filter along the fluid pathway and a negative pressure which draws the fluid from the filter along the fluid pathway and which operates to pass the sample through the filter in a first direction to collect cells on the filter. A second pump operates to pass a cell preservative fluid through the filter in a second direction to remove cells from the filter for collection. A controller is provided to regulate the flow of fluid along the fluid pathway. The method and apparatus provides a gentle pressure gradient which minimises damage to the cells during the process of filtration and collection. | 02-10-2011 |

20090122011 | EFFICIENT MODE SWITCHING IN A VIDEO PROCESSOR SYSTEM - Methods and apparatus are provided for efficiently controlling source computers connected to a display system. A control computer is connected to one or more source computers and video output is shown on a display system. A mouse and associated input devices may operate in video processor mode or source computer mode based on mouse x-coordinate and y-coordinate position information. Other modes such as control computer mode are also possible. In particular instances, a mouse and associated input devices operate in source computer mode to control a particular source computer when the mouse pointer position resides within one of the source computer windows. A mode of operation may switch based on a change in mouse position. | 05-14-2009 |
20140269942 | CONCURRENT DECOMPRESSION OF MULTIPLE VIDEO STREAMS WITH CONSTRAINED DECOMPRESSION RESOURCES - A method and system for gracefully reducing demands for shared decompression resources required to present multiple video streams concurrently such that their streaming video content is simultaneously available for further processing or display. In particular, it relates to the use of presentation time stamps for incoming frames with reference to a time base clock and a threshold to determine if the decompression resources are falling behind in their ability to process incoming frames in real time. If this occurs then frames are dropped, i.e. discarded without being decompressed, with preference given to dropping incremental frames rather than key frames. | 09-18-2014 |
20140283090 | LICENSING USING A NODE LOCKED VIRTUAL MACHINE - A method of licensing software to a particular instance of a virtual machine that is being run as part of an Active Directory domain. Since a virtual machine is a simulation of a physical machine, i.e. a computer, it can easily be cloned to produce an exact duplicate. This poses a problem when it is desired to license an instance of software for use only on a particular virtual machine. The technology disclosed allows for software to be licensed for execution only on a particular instance of a virtual machine that is being run as part of an Active Directory domain. | 09-18-2014 |
