    摘要: A method of capturing a scene within a field of view of a wide-angle lens coupled to a camera comprising storing image data of the scene in an image collection array, digitizing the scene image data into digitized scene image data for storage in a memory, receiving selections of a plurality of subsets of the digitized scene image data, and performing distortion compensation on the selected subsets of the digitized scene image data.

    摘要: One embodiment disclosed relates to a method of operating a network switch to provide wireless redundancy in a network. A keep-alive control packet is periodically transmitting over a wireless link, wherein the keep-alive control packet has a destination MAC address being that of the other switch on the other side of the wireless link, and wherein the keep-alive control packet is specifically designated to be identified as a keep-alive type packet. The specific designation may be implemented by having a source MAC address comprising a predetermined reserved MAC address. A key portion of one embodiment is the detection of the nearest neighbor in a point-to-point connection without confusion with another device elsewhere in the network. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

    摘要: The disclosure deals with the management of data in the memory of a digital media playback device. Specifically this invention deals with the mechanisms to allow memory to be treated as a uniform resource, regardless of the physical implementation of the data storage in the playback device. Manage the memory on a digital media player as logical partitions, not just physical partitions between different types of memory. This will treat the entire memory space as a uniform piece of memory, regardless of whether the memory is internal memory with battery backup, Flash memory that behaves like a logical disk, rotating media that is read/write (typically magnetic disk or CD-RW or DVD-RW) or rotating media that is read only.

    摘要: This disclosure deals with the management of data in the memory of a digital media playback device. Specifically this dislcosure deals with the mechanisms to allow memory to be treated as a partitioned resource, regardless of the physical implementation of the data storage in the playback device. Manage the memory on a digital media player as logical partitions, not just physical partitions between different types of memory. This will treat the entire memory space as a uniform piece of memory, regardless of whether the memory is internal memory with battery backup, Flash memory that behaves like a logical disk, rotating media that is read/write (typically magnetic disk or CD-RW or DVD-RW) or rotating media that is read only. Overlaid on this uniform memory model is a partitioned memory model that divides the memory into logical devices that are used to constrain the size of the memory used for various (logical) types of digital media.
