    Abstract: Techniques are described for obtaining high-resolution physical locations for a wireless device by leveraging the high-resolution physical location capabilities of wireless peers of the wireless device to provide a peer-to-peer location service and facilitate location targeting. Wireless devices provide location updates to a computing cloud, which stores records associating wireless device identifiers with received location information for the corresponding wireless devices. A wireless device issues a peer discovery request to dynamically identify nearby wireless peers in its network. The wireless device then sends wireless device identifiers for the nearby wireless peers in a location request to the computing cloud, which estimates a location for the wireless device using the previously recorded location information for the nearby wireless peers. The computing cloud returns the estimated location to the requesting wireless device.

    Abstract: A method is described that includes identifying a set of features of an object, the features being tracked in an image captured by a camera. The method also includes creating a field of vectors for the reference points. The vectors indicate magnitude and direction of change in position of the reference points across more than one frame of the image. The method further includes identifying existence of out of plane movement of the object's features from same radial orientation of the vectors. The method further includes determining an amount of closer/farther movement of the object's features to/from the camera from change in distances between a plurality of the reference points. The method further includes adjusting a position of camera's lens in view of the amount of closer/farther movement of the object's features to keep the camera focused on the object.

    Abstract: A method is described that includes loading an array of content into a two-dimensional shift register. The two-dimensional shift register is coupled to an execution lane array. The method includes repeatedly performing a first sequence including: shifting with the shift register first content residing along a particular row or column into another parallel row or column where second content resides and performing operations with a particular corresponding row or column of the execution lane array on the first and second content. The method also includes repeatedly performing a second sequence including: shifting with the shift register content from a set of first locations along a resultant row or column that is parallel with the rows or columns of the first sequence into a corresponding set of second locations along the resultant row or column. The resultant row or column has values determined from the operations of the first sequence.

    Abstract: A MEMS type sensor is used for measuring a particular parameter on an IC chip within an electronic device, such as music player, a smart cellular telephone, etc. The parameter may be a scalar parameter, such as a directional orientation indicative a current compass point, or a multidimensional vector parameter, such as a three-dimensional acceleration. The sensor output is recalibrated using stored coefficients when ambient conditions vary. The stored coefficients may be modified during calibration.

    Abstract: A system and method for attitude correction is provided. An acceleration and an attitude of an electronic device are detected. A period of time where a velocity of the electronic device at the beginning of the period of time and a velocity of the electronic device at the end of the period of time are equal is identified. An attitude correction is calculated based on the identified period of time and the detected acceleration of the electronic device during the period of time. The detected attitude of the electronic device is corrected with the calculated attitude correction.
