A rich user interface (UI) development framework that uses the schema of a data source to which it is relevant. The developer is able to rapidly create a data bound UI using a number of familiar gestures, including drag and drop, from the schema in a data tool window, using a designer tasks, or using a data form creation wizard. The system includes a UI generation component that allows a developer to input a number of different controls into the interface using associated control graphics. A data source object, type, or file can be passed to the UI generation component as an input. The developer chooses the desired controls and associates (or binds) the data entity of the data source with the control by any number of gestures.

A system and method for enhancing the security of signal exchanges in a network system. The system and method include a process and means for generating one or more replacement encryption key sets based on information and events. The information that may cause the generation of a replacement encryption key set includes, but is not limited to, a specified period of time, the level and / or type of signal traffic, and the signal transmission protocol and the amount of data sent. A key manager function initiates the replacement encryption key process based on the information. The replacement encryption key set may be randomly or pseudo-randomly generated. Functions attached to the network system required to employ encryption key sets may have encryption key sets unique to them or shared with one or more other attached functions. The system and method may be employed in a wireless, wired, or mixed transmission medium environment.

Novel tools and techniques for generating survey data about a survey site. Aerial photography of at least part of the survey site can be analyzed using photogrammetric techniques. In some cases, an unmanned aerial system can be used to collect site imagery. The use of a UAS can reduce the fiscal and chronological cost of a survey, compared to the use of other types aerial imagery and / or conventional terrestrial surveying techniques used alone.

A video-on-demand system provides efficient commercial distribution for renting and / or selling movies, video programs, video games and electronic data. Data input stations upload original video data from videotapes, videocassettes, videodisks or film, or from electronic data format on transferable storage media or over a telecommunications line. A video data capture computer converts the original video data into a preferred video data storage format and stores the video data files in a first generation video data storage unit. The video data files are sorted by categories and classified in indexed master files stored on a second generation video data storage unit. NTSC, PAL and / or HDTV versions of the video data files are created and stored in separate data storage units for serving different markets. Customers access the system through computer servers connected to the Internet. The computer servers access the video data file in the data storage units and create a temporary video data file, which is downloaded to the customer via the Internet. The video data file is downloaded at high speed and stored on the customer's video player device for viewing at a later time. The video data files can be downloaded, stored and viewed on a desktop computer, a laptop computer, palmtop computer, a set-top data storage device connected to a television set, video game device, or a personal digital assistant, cellular telephone or pager with video capabilities. The system includes back-up mirror storage files at all levels of the system for security against data loss.

A portable remote control device enables user interaction with an appliance by detecting user gestures made in a hover zone, and converting the gestures to commands that are wirelessly transmitted to the appliance. The remote control device includes at least two cameras whose intersecting FOVs define a three-dimensional hover zone within which user interactions are imaged. Separately and collectively image data is analyzed to identify a relatively few user landmarks. Substantially unambiguous correspondence is established between the same landmark on each acquired image, and a three-dimensional reconstruction is made in a common coordinate system. Preferably cameras are modeled to have characteristics of pinhole cameras, enabling rectified epipolar geometric analysis to facilitate more rapid disambiguation among potential landmark points. As a result processing overhead and latency times are substantially reduced. Landmark identification and position information is convertible into commands that alter the appliance behavior as intended by the user's gesture.

The invention relates to a method for operating a proxy server device (1) connected to a field device (FG1–FGN), in addition to a proxy server device. The proxy server device can be connected to the field device and a user device (N1–NN) in order to respectively exchange electronic data in order to monitor and / or operate the field device. The electronic data consists of static data which is transmitted according to a first protocol standard and dynamic data which is transmitted according to a second protocol standard.

A system is disclosed for programming non-volatile storage that improves performance by setting the starting programming voltage to a first level for fresh parts and adjusting the starting programming voltage as the memory is cycled. For example, the system programs a set of non-volatile storage elements during a first period using an increasing program signal with a first initial value and subsequently programs the set of non-volatile storage elements during a second period using an increasing program signal with a second initial value, where the second period is subsequent to the first period and the second initial value is different than the first initial value.

Systems and methods for securing a virtual machine are disclosed. Various embodiments of the systems and methods disclosed herein allow provisioning a trusted and secure computing environment to a user. Various embodiments enable securing a virtual machine during multiple states, such as during run time, construction time and rest time. In one embodiment, a virtualization infrastructure for securing a virtual machine includes a trusted computing base and a proxy virtual machine running on the virtualization infrastructure as a proxy of the trusted computing base, the trusted computing base being configured to cryptographically verify the proxy virtual machine to be authentic and to prevent unauthorized access to the proxy virtual machine. The proxy virtual machine may be configured to compute an exit state measurement of the virtual machine and to use the exit state measurement to prevent an unauthorized entry of the virtual machine into the virtualization infrastructure.

A method of directing and / or alert vehicles during an emergency or other event. The method may include providing messages and other information to the vehicles through wireless communications. The message may detail the emergency and / or an evacuation strategy for avoiding the emergency. Different vehicles may receive different messages and instructions depending on vehicle location and other parameters.

A dashboard application can enable a user to quickly view data (and, in a particular aspect, data from one or more business applications) in an efficient manner. The dashboard application can be used to view data about one or metrics that reflect the performance of a business, as derived from data maintained (perhaps in an associated data store) by the business application(s). The dashboard application can provide the ability to select a level of granularity at which data should be displayed and / or filtered for display.
