Rafael C. Camarota - Sunnyvale CA, US
Tom White - Santa Clara CA, US

Assignee:

Altera Corporation - San Jose CA

International Classification:

H03K 19/173
H03K 19/177
G06F 7/38
H01L 25/00

US Classification:

326 38, 326 37, 326 39, 326 40, 326 41, 326 47, 716 16

Abstract:

A programmable logic integrated circuit has user-accessible nonvolatile memory for use by the programmable logic. In a specific embodiment, the programmable logic integrated circuit has a programmable logic array portion and a nonvolatile memory array portion. The nonvolatile memory array portion is segregated into a boot data part and a user data partition. The boot data partition holds data for configuring the programmable logic portion on power up, and the user data partition is for use by the programmable logic. A user can store and retrieve data from the user data partition. A built-in oscillator can be programmably connected from the nonvolatile memory portion to the PLD portion.

Inventors:

Kwindla Hultman Kramer - Los Angeles CA, US
Tom White - Los Angeles CA, US
Mattie Ruth Kramer - Los Angeles CA, US

Assignee:

OBLONG INDUSTRIES, INC. - Los Angeles CA

International Classification:

G06F 3/033

US Classification:

345158

Abstract:

Systems and methods are described for controlling a remote system. The controlling of the remote system comprises detecting a gesture of a body from gesture data received via a detector. The gesture data is absolute three-space location data of an instantaneous state of the body at a point in time and physical space. The detecting comprises identifying the gesture using the gesture data. The controlling comprises translating the gesture to a gesture signal, and controlling a component of the remote system in response to the gesture signal.

Appl. No.:

13/217460

Inventors:

Tom White - Los Angeles CA, US

International Classification:

G06K 9/34

US Classification:

382173

Abstract:

Systems and methods for reversible, incremental image shredding in accordance with embodiments of the invention are described. One embodiment of the invention includes determining shredding parameters, generating a shredding map, where the shredding map is a grid of elements that indicates destination locations for at least two of the elements in the grid, and incrementally shredding the image by iteratively mapping blocks of pixels corresponding to grid elements of the shredding map to the destination locations indicated by the shredding map.

Appl. No.:

8/493652

Inventors:

Tom H. White - Los Angeles CA

International Classification:

G10L 906

US Classification:

395 284

Abstract:

A computer based system utilizing cues extracted from audio speech to select from among a database of stored image cells to produce synthesized animated characters. A database of image cells is created by storing the face of an actor or other character articulating some 40 phoneme sounds, in 8 different emotions from 25 different camera angles. Audio speech is then analyzed and the faces are extracted based on phoneme sounds and emotion cues within the spectral information of the speech. The position of a user operated camera controller is polled to determine a desired camera angle and the three image parameters (articulation, emotion and camera angle) are used to select an image from the database associated with the phoneme. The selected images are interpolated to produce a smooth, life-like character or cartoon animation sequence, and then stored to a video recorder.

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to apparatus, systems, and methods for providing a location information analytics mechanism. The location information analytics mechanism is configured to analyze location information to extract contextual information (e.g., profile) about a mobile device or a user of a mobile device, collectively referred to as a target entity. The location information analytics mechanism can include analyzing location data points associated with a target entity to determine features associated with the target entity, and using the features to predict attributes associated with the target entity. The set of predicted attributes can form a profile of the target entity.
