摘要： A method for processing media files includes receiving a first signature. The first signature describes a first characteristic of a first media file. The method also includes determining whether the first signature matches any of a first plurality of stored signatures and, in response to determining that the first signature matches one or more of the first plurality of stored signatures, requesting a second signature based on the first media file. The second signature describes a second characteristic of the first media file. The method also includes determining whether the second signature matches any of a second plurality of stored signatures and, in response to determining that the second signature matches one or more of the second plurality of stored signatures, initiating a remedial action associated with the first media file.

摘要： A system and method for measuring the angular position of a rotatably positionable object are disclosed. The system includes a rotating polarizing filter coupled to the rotatably positionable object so that the rotating polarizing filter co-rotates with the rotatably positionable object. Light generated by a light source is directed along a path through the rotating polarizing filter and through a stationary polarizing filter. In this configuration, the intensity of the light passed through the rotating and stationary polarizing filters varies according to the angular position of the rotatably positionable object. A light sensor senses the intensity of the light passed through the rotating and stationary polarizing filters. Based on the intensity of the light, as sensed by the light sensor, a processor determines the angular position of the rotatably positionable object.In one embodiment, first and second stationary polarizing filters are provided having angularly offset orientations. The intensity of the light passing through the first and second stationary polarizing filters produces first and second responses that differ in phase to permit measurement of rotatable object having a range of angular rotation greater than about 70 or 80 degrees. In another embodiment, a light source transmits light through a single rotating neutral variable density filter such that the intensity of the light passing through the variable density filter varies according to the angular position of the variable density filter.

摘要： An electromagnetic circuit that may be advantageously employed in an articulated camera, such as a CCTV camera, as a part of a servo mechanism to directly drive the camera and optical lens assembly, for example, in the pan and/or tilt axes. In one embodiment, the coil assembly of the servo mechanism may comprise four separate coils that rotate about the center of the ring shape of a single one-piece ring-shaped permanent magnet that has been pre-magnetized in two pair of opposing polarities. The magnet assembly that includes the magnet ring, may be bonded to a circular plate made of ferrous metal.
