Methods and system for managing media clips over a data network. Media streams may be received over a data network and stored by a storage server. Metadata regarding the media streams may be generated and stored at a metadata server. A control station can retrieve media frames originating in the stored media streams from the storage server, based on metadata. Media frames from multiple media streams can be retrieved and displayed in synchronization, based on respective timecodes.

The described embodiments relate to methods and systems for detecting the blockiness of a video signal comprised of a number of pixels. The method includes the steps of calculating a total number of pixels in the video signal in flat blocks and visible block edge transitions, and generating a blockiness indicator from the total number of pixels in flat blocks and visible block edge transitions. The step of calculating the total number of pixels in flat blocks and the total number of pixels in visible block edge transitions may include calculating differential values for each pixel in the video signal, analyzing the differential values to determine if the pixel is part of a transition and/or a flat area and then counting the number of pixels in flat blocks and visible block edge transitions to produce a total number of pixels in flat blocks and a total number of pixels in visible block edge transitions.

A graphical user interface (GUI) is disclosed that allows a user to identify routers, communities, residents and media aggregation managers existing on a network. The user may interactively select a path that includes two media aggregation managers and at least one router. The GUI predicts scheduled bandwidth utilization along the selected path for a variety of residents wishing to communicate across the path. The GUI may be utilized for initializing all media aggregation managers on the network along with provisioning each of the routers on the selected path. The GUI provisions all of the routers and initializes all of the media aggregation managers on the selected path simultaneously in order to accomplish the predicted schedule of usage provided by the GUI to the user and force all communication packets communicated between the residents to travel along the selected path.

Preparation of semiconductor nanocrystals and their dispersions in solvents and other media is described. The nanocrystals described herein have small (1-10 nm) particle size with minimal aggregation and can be synthesized with high yield. The capping agents on the as-synthesized nanocrystals as well as nanocrystals which have undergone cap exchange reactions result in the formation of stable suspensions in polar and nonpolar solvents which may then result in the formation of high quality nanocomposite films.

A method of performing a stair-training exercise. The method includes the steps of placing a foot of an affected leg on a stationary platform having a planar upper surface positioned parallel to a reference plane and at a predetermined distance above the reference plane; placing a foot of the other leg on a movable platform having a planar upper surface and being configured to move from a first position, wherein the planar upper surface of the movable platform is substantially level with the reference plane, to a second position, wherein the planar upper surface of the movable platform is substantially level with the planar upper surface of the stationary platform; and moving the movable platform between the first position and the second position using a lifting mechanism.

摘要:
An assisted stair training machine. The machine includes a stationary platform having a planar upper surface positioned parallel to a reference plane and at a predetermined distance above the reference plane; a movable platform having a planar upper surface and being configured to move from a first position to a second position, and a lifting mechanism. The planar upper surface of the movable platform is substantially level with the reference plane in the first position, and the planar upper surface of the movable platform is substantially level with the planar upper surface of the stationary platform in the second position. The lifting mechanism is configured to move the movable platform from the first position to the second position and from the second position back to the first position at a predetermined speed.

The various components of transceiver circuitry on an integrated circuit are put together in various ways for purposes of being supplied with power to help prevent noise propagation between the groups. In the case of multi-channel transceiver circuitry there can be various amounts of power supply sharing between similar groups in multiple channels.

A field-programmable gate array (“FPGA”) may include data receiver and/or transmitter circuitry that is adapted to receive and/or transmit data at any frequency(ies) or data rate(s) in a wide range of possible frequencies or data rates. Phase-locked loop (PLL) circuitry may be needed for operation of such receiver and/or transmitter circuitry. For satisfactory operation over the wide frequency range, multiple PLL circuits are provided. One of these PLL circuits may be capable of operating over the entire frequency range, possibly with better jitter performance in some portions of the range than in other portions of the range. One or more other PLL circuits may be provided that are focused on particular parts of the broad range, especially where the jitter performance of the first-mentioned PLL may not be adequate to meet some possible needs.
摘要:
A skew-tolerant, glitch-free reset distribution apparatus and method are provided in an intellectual property (IP) block that supports a multi-channel input/output protocol. During reset mode, synchronizers are used to create more predictable timing, to pipeline the propagation delay, and to tolerate RC-induced skews of up to a clock period in routing a reset signal to all the channels and within the channels in an IP block. Two control signals, which are available from programmable logic resource core circuitry, are used to control the input of the reset signal into the IP block. Because the control signals are designed to be glitch-free, the reset signal is therefore also glitch-free, thus preventing the IP block from inadvertently transitioning into or out of reset mode.
