    摘要: Image overlaying and comparison for inventory display auditing is disclosed herein. An example method to perform inventory display auditing disclosed herein comprises overlaying a reference image over a current image displayed on a camera display, the reference image corresponding to an inventory display to be audited, comparing the reference image and the current image to determine whether the current image and the reference image correspond to a same scene and when the reference image and the current image are determined to correspond to the same scene, indicating a difference region in the current image displayed on the camera display, the difference region being a first region of the current image that differs from a corresponding first region of the reference image.

    摘要: A circuit card is interfaced to a powered electrical bus by applying power to the circuit card before it interfaces to the electrical bus or by removing power from the circuit card after it has been removed from the bus. This is accomplished using a power cord that connects the equipment's power supply to a mating connector on the card to be inserted or removed. Attaching the power cord to the mating connector of the card disables the output drivers that provide output signals to the equipment's communication bus and places the card in a reset state. This prevents introducing error signals onto the communication bus. Additionally, the contacts on the edge connector are sequenced to prevent applying power to the circuit card before a ground is available. Additionally, the power cord and circuit card are keyed to prevent improper insertion and the power card includes an inductor to provide surge protection.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for identifying a digital audio signal are described. An example apparatus for identifying a digital audio signal includes an input to receive the digital audio signal, which includes data from a broadcast or a stored digital program signal. The example apparatus also includes a detector to receive the digital audio signal from the input and determine whether the received digital audio signal is uncompressed as received at the input; a decoder to receive the digital audio signal from the detector when the digital audio signal is compressed as received at the input and identify any first program-identifying code in an auxiliary field of the compressed digital audio signal; and a code reader to receive the digital audio signal from the detector when the digital audio signal is uncompressed as received at the input and receive the digital audio signal from a decompressor when the digital audio signal is compressed as received at the input. Additionally, the code reader is to identify any second program-identifying code in a decompressed or uncompressed portion of the digital audio signal when the first program-identifying code is not identified in the auxiliary field or when the digital audio signal is uncompressed as received at the input.
