US Patent:
8624960, Jan 7, 2014
Filed:
Jul 30, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/848037
Inventors:
Christopher Unkel - Palo Alto CA, US
Lawrence L. Butcher - Mountain View CA, US
James G. Hanko - Redwood City CA, US
J. Duane Northcutt - Menlo Park CA, US
Brian K. Schmidt - Mountain View CA, US
Edwin C. Seim - Campbell CA, US
Assignee:
Silicon Image, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
H04N 7/18
US Classification:
348 46, 348 47, 348 51
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to a multi-view display system. An embodiment of an apparatus includes a display screen to display multiple views simultaneously, and a controller to control the views presented on the display screen. The apparatus is configurable by the controller to provide multiple view settings, the view settings including a first setting in which the apparatus provides a single view to each viewer of the display screen and a second setting in which the apparatus provides a first view to a first viewer of the display screen and a second view to a second viewer of the display screen. A first filtering element filters views presented to viewers of the display screen such that an intended view is displayed to one or more viewers.

US Patent:
20110150006, Jun 23, 2011
Filed:
Aug 31, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/873124
Inventors:
Christopher Unkel - Palo Alto CA, US
Edwin C. Seim - Campbell CA, US
Lawrence L. Butcher - Mountain View CA, US
Assignee:
SILICON IMAGE, INC. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
H04J 3/06
US Classification:
370503
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to de-encapsulation of data streams into multiple links. An embodiment of a method includes receiving a data stream including multiple data frames, the data stream being in a first mode having a multiple channels of content data including a first channel sent in a first position in each data frame and a second channel sent in a second position in each data frame following the first position, with each data frame including a synchronization signal to indicate a start of the content data. The method further includes transforming the data stream into data sub-streams in a second mode, the data sub-streams including a first data sub-stream to carry data for the first channel in the second mode and a second data sub-stream to carry data for the second channel in the second mode. Transforming the data stream into in the plurality of data sub-streams includes generating the first data sub-stream by stripping the second channel from each frame of data, and generating the second data sub-stream by stripping the first channel and the synchronization signal from each frame and inserting a substitute synchronization signal before the second channel data in each data frame. The method further includes transmitting the first data sub-stream via a first link in the second mode and the second data sub-stream via a second link in the second mode.

Method And System For Maintaining Storage Device Failure Tolerance In A Composable Infrastructure

US Patent:
20220413976, Dec 29, 2022
Filed:
Aug 30, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/823296
Inventors:
- San Francisco CA, US
Christopher Unkel - San Francisco CA, US
Jean-Francois Remy - San Francisco CA, US
Assignee:
Twitter, Inc. - San Francisco CA
International Classification:
G06F 11/20
G06F 3/06
G06F 11/10
Abstract:
Systems (e.g. data centers) having composable infrastructure, in which computing devices (e.g., servers) access disk drives organized into storage groups over a network or other communications mechanism, devices for implementing such systems, methods for configuring and operating such systems, and a computer readable medium which stores (in non-transitory fashion) code for performing any embodiment of the inventive method or steps thereof. Typically, the storage groups are determined such that the drives in each storage group have at least one coupled failure mechanism, and the drives are allocated to servers (and typically also, data items are placed in the servers) in accordance with storage group membership of the drives. In some embodiments, data from a server is stored in redundant fashion on at least two of the drives, e.g., in accordance a RAID technique.

Method And System For Balancing Storage Data Traffic In Converged Networks

US Patent:
20180006874, Jan 4, 2018
Filed:
Sep 13, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/702920
Inventors:
- Sunnyvale CA, US
Christopher Unkel - Palo Alto CA, US
International Classification:
H04L 12/24
H04L 12/26
H04L 29/08
H04L 12/931
H04L 12/803
G06F 3/06
Abstract:
Methods for balancing storage data traffic in a system in which at least one computing device (server) coupled to a converged network accesses at least one storage device coupled (by at least one adapter) to the network, systems configured to perform such methods, and devices configured to implement such methods or for use in such systems. Typically, the system includes servers and adapters, and server agents implemented on the servers and adapter agents implemented on the adapters are configured to detect and respond to imbalances in storage and data traffic in the network, and to redirect the storage data traffic to reduce the imbalances and, thereby to improve the overall network performance (for both data communications and storage traffic). Typically, each agent operates autonomously (except in that an adapter agent may respond to a request or notification from a server agent), and no central computer or manager directs operation of the agents.

Method And Apparatus For Using Contextual Content Augmentation To Provide Information On Recent Events In A Media Program

View page
US Patent:
20150341694, Nov 26, 2015
Filed:
Dec 30, 2012
Appl. No.:
14/655375
Inventors:
James G. HANKO - Redwood City CA, US
Christopher UNKEL - Palo Alto CA, US
Duane J. NORTHCUTT - Menlo Park CA, US
- Issy les Moulineaux, FR
International Classification:
H04N 21/4722
H04N 21/488
H04N 21/435
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a method and apparatus for content augmentation in an audio video system. In particular, the invention concerns storing embedded data, such as close captioning or metadata, and displaying that embedded data concerning a past event in response to a user request. The user request way be received from a remote control, via voice recognition, or facial recognition. In addition, the apparatus is operative to facilitate the viewer to scroll through buffered embedded data independent of any video being displayed. Thus the viewer may review closed captioning information for video which had previously been displayed.

Method And Apparatus For Controlling Access To A Home Using Visual Cues

View page
US Patent:
20140192197, Jul 10, 2014
Filed:
Dec 30, 2013
Appl. No.:
14/143636
Inventors:
- Issy de Moulineaux, FR
Christopher UNKEL - Palo Alto CA, US
Jeffrey Duane NORTHCUTT - Menlo Park CA, US
International Classification:
G07C 9/00
US Classification:
348156
Abstract:
An apparatus and method that controls access to a dwelling is provided. An image capturing device captures an image representing an individual attempting to access the dwelling. An access database includes data identifying individuals known to a user and access level data associated with each individual known to the user, the data identifying individuals known to the user including image data representative of the individual. A controller receives the captured image data from the image capturing device and determines a level of access associated with the individual attempting access by comparing the captured image data with the image data representative of individuals stored in the access database. Upon determining that the access level indicates that access should be granted, the controller controls a locking mechanism to move from a first locked position to a second unlocked position enabling access to the dwelling.
