20120025955 | EVENT PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHODS - Event processing apparatus for processing electronic tag reading events comprising a first event processing module and one or more second event processing modules. The or each second event processing module is operable to receive event data records concerning electronic tag reading events from electronic tag readers, and to transmit to the first event processing module processed event data records concerning selected electronic tag reading events. A filter control module transmits filter definitions to the second event processing modules and subsequently transmits filter control signals indicating that filters should be activated or deactivated in order to avoid overloading of the first event processing module. Statistics concerning the selectivity of filters, including filters which are currently inactive, are used to determine which filters should be activated or deactivated. | 02-02-2012 |

20100177120 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STRETCHING 3D/4D SPATIAL HIERARCHY MODELS FOR IMPROVED VIEWING - A system and method for spatially stretching visual interactive computer-based renderings of hierarchical 3D/4D object models is disclosed. Hierarchical 3D/4D object models are transformed into a stretchable structure. Utilizing user interface controls, a user manipulates and visually stretches the 3D/4D object model hierarchy to expose 3D/4D object model components for an unobstructed view. Real-time geo-referenced data feeds are processed to interactively update specific sensor objects contained as components of the hierarchical 3D/4D object models. Real-time geo-referenced tracking data feeds are also processed to dynamically include new visual components of the 3D/4D object model hierarchy at the proper location, representative of the locations of mobile tracking devices within the 3D/4D object model hierarchy. | 07-15-2010 |
