20090037986 | Non-disclosing password entry method - A non-disclosing password entry method is achieved by displaying an ordered arrangement or matrix of characters such that an authorized user's password is predetermined from a subset of these characters. The characters in the display are associated with a randomly ordered set of patterns or colors as, for example, the character background in the display. Additionally there is provided a means for selecting each type of pattern or color. Rather than entering the password directly, the authorized user is authenticated by noting the background pattern or color associated with the first character of the password and then selecting that pattern or color. The process is repeated with each password character in sequence until all the characters have been selected. The authorized user is authenticated by verifying that the selected backgrounds are correct for each of the characters of the password. | 02-05-2009 |
20090144554 | Two-way authentication with non-disclosing password entry - A method of two-way authentication between a user and a known host using a non-disclosing password entry system generates a matrix of characters having a random characteristic with random characteristics being selected from a set of custom symbols, pictures or patterns (rather than alpha-numeric characters) that only the user recognizes. When the user sets up an account with the known host, a subset of these characteristics is predetermined for use specifically by the user. One or more of these may additionally be used in the user's PIN or password for easy memorization, allowing the user to first authenticate the log-in screen before the user enters the PIN for user authentication to the known host. Alternatively, randomized alpha-numeric characters may be used, but with a predefined grouping or subset of the characters in a predefined position on the initial character matrix presentation. If the user doesn't see the predefined special characters or figures in the character matrix, or the particular alpha-numeric subset in the character matrix, then the log-in screen is recognized as a fake. | 06-04-2009 |

20090251180 | ANALOG PHASE-LOCKED LOOP - Aspects of the present invention are related, in general, to Type-III phase-locked loops.

20110096173 | AV DELAY MEASUREMENT AND CORRECTION VIA SIGNATURE CURVES - Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for non-invasive, “in-service” AV delay detection and correction. These systems and methods do not modify the audio signal or the video signal, nor do they rely on any metadata to be carried with the audio signal or the video signal via the distribution path. Instead, agents located at various points along the distribution path generate very small signature curves for the audio signal and the video signal and distribute them to a manager via a separate data path other than the distribution path. The manager calculates a measured AV delay caused by the distribution path based on these signature curves, and then optionally corrects the measured AV delay by adjusting an in-line delay in the distribution path. | 04-28-2011 |
20110274153 | FLEXIBLE TIMEBASE FOR EYE DIAGRAM - A flexible timebase for eye diagrams uses a stable free running oscillator as a sample clock for equivalent time sampling of an input serial digital signal and of a reference signal, such as a sine wave, derived from a subdivided recovered clock of the input serial digital signal. The reference signal samples are provided to a digital phase-locked loop that provides the flexible timebase to an eye pattern generator. The eye pattern generator accumulates the input serial digital signal samples at times corresponding to the reference signal samples to produce the eye diagram. A linear phase detector in the digital phase locked loop converts the reference signal samples to a complex signal using a Hilbert transform and then to a linear ramp of phase values using a CORDIC algorithm with arctangent lookup table. A subtractor is then used to subtract the digital phase-locked loop feedback from the linear ramp to provide the input to the loop filter. | 11-10-2011 |
20120140225 | STEREOSCOPIC EXTINCTION RATIO TEST PATTERN - A test pattern for evaluating L/R crosstalk extinction ratio in a stereoscopic 3D system has a strip of one characteristic—polarization, white, color—associated with a plurality of calibrated chips in a left eye image and a strip of a contrasting characteristic—orthogonal polarization, white, contrasting color—associated with a plurality of calibrated chips in a right eye image such that, when the two images are superimposed, the strip of one image overlays the calibrated chips of the other image. By alternately occluding one eye while observing the superimposed image with the other eye, a portion of the strip of the occluded eye image appears across the chips of the viewing eye image when there is crosstalk. The extinction ratio value associated with the chip of the viewing eye image that most closely matches the portion of the strip from the occluded eye image is an estimate of the L/R crosstalk. | 06-07-2012 |
20120162527 | BLUR DETECTION WITH LOCAL SHARPNESS MAP - A single-ended blur detection probe and method with a local sharpness map for analyzing a video image sequence uses two sets of edge filters, one for “fast edges” and the other for “slow edges.” Each set of edge filters includes a horizontal bandpass filter, a vertical bandpass filter and a pair of orthogonal diagonal filters where the frequency response of the fast edge filters overlap the frequency response of the slow edge filters. The video image sequence is input to each filter of each set, and the output absolute values are combined with weighting factors to produce a slow edge weighted sum array and a fast edge weighted sum arra. The respective weighted sum arrays are then decimated to produce a slow edge decimated array and a fast edge decimated array. The ratio of the maximum difference value between the decimated arrays and the maximum value from the fast edge decimated array, weighted by an appropriate factor, produces a localized maximum sharpness value, the log of which produces a dimensionless blur value. | 06-28-2012 |

The multiple 2D histograms are presented as a Quad Diamond display so a user may align the two cameras or analyze the received stereoscopic video signal. | 08-30-2012 |
20120257010 | SEMI-AUTOMATIC 3D STEREOSCOPIC DISPARITY CURSOR - Embodiments of the present invention provide a “disparity cursor” for easily measuring disparity within a selected region of a 3D image under test. In operation, a user places a window that defines the disparity cursor over a selected region of the 3D image under test using a mouse, keyboard, or other user-interface device. An average disparity value for the image segments contained within the window is then automatically calculated and reported to the user. | 10-11-2012 |
20130141528 | STEREOSCOPIC VIDEO TEMPORAL FRAME OFFSET MEASUREMENT - A stereoscopic video temporal frame offset measurement system uses an improved signature curve generator to generate a robust signature curve for each of the left and right image sequences of a stereo video signal. The resulting signature curves are cross-correlated over a specified correlation range to generate cross-correlation coefficients. The cross-correlation coefficients are compared to a high threshold, and a temporal frame offset is generated and displayed for each cross-correlation coefficient that exceeds the high threshold. Each new temporal frame offset result is highlighted when displayed, otherwise the last result is displayed in a background fashion. | 06-06-2013 |
20130279607 | TILING OR BLOCKINESS DETECTION BASED ON SPECTRAL POWER SIGNATURE - Tiling or blockiness detection based on spectral power signature uses one-dimensional vectors at block edges to find a spectral signature created by the tiling or blockiness in an image. A baseband component of the image, such as luminance, is edge enhanced, and then the pixel values along each horizontal line are summed to form a one-dimensional column vector of summed edge values for the image. The power of the column vector and the power of selected frequency components within the column vector are determined. The powers are then combined and converted to dimensionless tiling or blockiness values relative to each of the selected frequencies. | 10-24-2013 |
