Described are apparatus and methods for reconstructing a full human skeletal pose or a partial skeletal pose by aggregating and fusing various data from various sensors, and for detecting the occurrence of gestures from poses that occur over a period of time.

Methods and apparatus for using the human body as an input device

Described are apparatus and methods for providing a contextual keyboard service located on a remote server for implementation on any website or device capable of supporting an on-screen keyboard.

Contextual keyboard located on a remote server for implementation on any content delivery and interaction application

Described methods and apparatus for a location determination and registration methodology for smart devices that involves creating a registration map of a bounded space, with various smart devices located therein in fixed positions, and for each smart device relative positions in which a gestural input device can communicate with it, and relative distances, signal strengths and the like associated therewith for each smart device being part of the registration map. Once created, the registration map can be used to allow for a particular smart device to communicate with the gestural input platform when that is intended and the two are properly oriented relative to each other.

Described are apparatus and methods for reconstructing a plurality of gestures using roll pitch and yaw data, typically in combination with data for recognition of start and/or stop portions of the gesture using an auxiliary sensor, such as a capacitive touch sensor or a MEMS sensor.

Methods and apparatus for recognition of a plurality of gestures using roll pitch yaw data

Described are apparatus and methods for integrating gestural controllers in Head Mounted Displays, preferably for Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality applications. In a specific embodiment, multiple controllers are located on both sides of the HMD for ease of locating and wearing the controllers without having to remove the Head Mounted Display.

Methods and systems for integrating one or more gestural controllers into a head mounted wearable display or other wearable devices

Electronic device ring

Described are apparatus and methods for reconstructing a gesture by aggregating various data from various sensors, including data for recognition of start and/or stop portions of the gesture using an auxiliary sensor, such as a capacitive touch sensor or a MEMS sensor. In a specific embodiment, power savings features are included to preserve the energy stored on the battery of a sensing device.

Described are apparatus and methods for reconstructing a gesture by aggregating various data from various sensors, including data for recognition of start and/or stop portions of the gesture using a detection of an intersection with a relative coordinate system boundary.

Methods and apparatus recognition of start and/or stop portions of a gesture using relative coordinate system boundaries

In one embodiment, an apparatus configured for communication with a plurality of virtual machines includes a virtual switch in communication with one or more of the virtual machines, an interface in communication with one or more of the virtual machines and configured for communication with a hardware implemented switch, and a mode selector for assigning to each of the virtual machines, a mode of operation for forwarding data from the virtual machine and switching the assigned mode of operation at one or more of the virtual machines. The mode of operation is selected from a first mode wherein the data is forwarded by the hardware implemented switch and a second mode wherein the data is forwarded by the virtual switch.

Traffic forwarding for virtual machines

In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a processor configured for operation in a control plane in a distributed virtual switch in communication with a plurality of virtual machines each having a virtual interface. The processor is operable to identify other control planes in the distributed virtual switch, assign a virtual interface identifier to one of the virtual interfaces, receive a configuration for the virtual interface, and share the configuration with the other control planes in the distributed virtual switch. The virtual interface identifier provides a unique identifier for the virtual interface across all of the control planes. The apparatus further includes memory for storing the configuration of the virtual interface. A method for operating a network device associated with a control in the distributed virtual switch is also disclosed.

Distributed data center access switch

Disclosed are, inter alia, methods, apparatus, computer-storage media, mechanisms, and means associated with loss of reducing flooding in a bridged network, typically including a device directly connected to multiple upstream bridges. These bridges are configured such that the device receives broadcast/multicast traffic from a single interface of one of the bridges, while allowing unicast traffic over each of the communications links connecting the device to the bridges. In one configuration, the device implements virtual machine(s), each including a virtual network interface associated with a MAC address; and the directly connected bridges are configured, for each particular MAC address of these MAC addresses of the virtual interfaces, such that one and only one of the bridges will forward packets having the particular MAC address as its destination address over a communications link directly connected to the device.
