Abstract:
A method and system for providing technical support for networked devices includes a first client component on a networked device having a conferencing application to enable communication exchange with a second client component. A server component is configured to distribute video and audio data streams to the first client component and the second client component in a conference session. A conference channel communication connection is established over which the video and audio data streams are carried between the first client component, the server component, and the second client component, and a back-channel communication connection is established for transmission of diagnostic and status information. A service call is managed by a service center dispatcher, who connects a technician client and a networked device client in a multi-party conference hosted on one of a plurality of load balanced servers.

Bariatric gurney and process including a winch mounted in an ambulance for pulling the gurney up removable rails. The gurney includes extenders for increasing the patient support surface of the gurney and may include a removable patient safety bar.
Abstract:
An internet presentation system includes an internet accessible server that permits access to a database of editable and executable presentation files to select users with a specific type of periphery device. The periphery device, or projector, includes a hardware ID used by the server to authenticate the user. The server additionally maintains an administration mode by which select administrators may create and edit template files and color scheme files required, but not editable, by the select users. The server also maintain statistic of the select users and their activities. The administrators use the statistics to target template and color scheme files for deletion and editing.
Abstract:
Distributing meeting data from an interactive whiteboard projector to at least one computer of a meeting member, comprises: in the interactive whiteboard projector, using a processor to save meeting data, generate a password, display a screen with a URL of the projector and the password and use a web server to transfer the meeting data from the interactive whiteboard projector to the at least one computer.

Abstract:
Computer-readable media having corresponding apparatus and methods embodies instructions executable by a computer to perform a method comprising: receiving a recording, wherein the recording includes a video file, and a plurality of event records each representing a respective event in the recording, wherein each event record includes a timestamp representing a time of the event in the recording, and an image corresponding to the event; selecting a section of the recording; and providing a representative image for the selected section of the recording, including determining, based on the timestamps, whether any of the events are associated with the selected section, selecting the image corresponding to one of the one or more events when one or more events are associated with the selected section, and generating the representative image based on the video file when no events are associated with the selected section.
Abstract:
Methods having corresponding apparatus and computer-readable media comprise: receiving a first digital image representing a first composite projection, wherein each first composite projection comprises a plurality of overlapping component projections, wherein each of the component projections is generated by a respective projector; and generating one or more respective first intensity scaling maps for each of the projectors, comprising, for each of the first intensity scaling maps, identifying a displayed non-overlap projection region for the projector associated with the first intensity scaling map based on the first digital image, and generating a first intensity scaling map for the projector, comprising determining a distance to the nearest pixel within the displayed non-overlap region of the projector for each pixel outside the non-overlap region of the projector, and assigning a first intensity scaling value to each pixel outside the displayed non-overlap region of the projector based on the respective distance.
Abstract:
Three or more projectors project their respective images to form a composite image. In some cases all three projected images overlap. In order to compensate for distortions in this overlap, blending values are assigned to the projector pixels that contribute to the overlap regions. Pixels that contribute to the overlap of two projectors are assigned a blending value associated with this projector pair. Pixels that contribute to the overlap of three projectors are assigned a blending value that is the greater of the two blending values associated with the two projector pairs, after such blending value has been scaled.
Abstract:
A method for a communication system comprising a plurality of communication modules passing an audio stream comprising frames of audio data comprises receiving the audio stream at one of the communication modules; selecting one of the frames; identifying second data; replacing a portion of the audio data in the one of the frames with the second data; and transmitting the audio stream comprising the one of the frames of audio data comprising the second data from the one of the communication modules in the communication system.
