The invention provides a method and system for correct interoperation of multiple diverse file server or file locking protocols, using a uniform multi-protocol lock management system. A file server determines, before allowing any client device to access data or to obtain a lock, whether that would be inconsistent with existing locks, regardless of originating client device or originating protocol for those existing locks. A first protocol enforces mandatory file-open and file-locking together with an opportunistic file-locking technique, while a second protocol lacks file-open semantics and provides only for advisory byte-range and file locking. Enforcing file-locking protects file data against corruption by NFS client devices. A CIFS client device, upon opening a file, can obtain an "oplock" (an opportunistic lock). When a client device issues a non-CIFS protocol request for the oplocked file, the file server sends an oplock-break message to the CIFS client device, giving the CIFS client device the opportunity to flush any cached write operations and possibly close the file. Allowing NFS and NLM requests to break oplocks ensures that file data remains available to NFS client devices simultaneously with protecting integrity of that file data. A CIFS client device can obtain a "change-monitoring" lock for a directory in the file system, so as to be notified by the file server whenever there is a change to that directory. The file server notes changes to the directory by both CIFS and non-CIFS client devices, and notifies those CIFS client devices with "change-monitoring" locks of those changes.

The apparatus generates simulated strobe effects in the form of video or still image output in response to receipt of a video stream, and without the need of additional strobe hardware. Videos of a moving target object are categorized into one of multiple categories, from which a strobe generation process is selected.

Interoperation between image registration and cloning are utilized to produce simulated strobe motion videos or pictures. Motion segmentation is applied to the foreground object in each image frame, and a foreground mask is updated as each checkpoint is reached along the object trajectory, such as in response to time differences between checkpoints. Potential applications include special features for camcorders, digital cameras, or computer software.

Automatic programming, scheduling, and control of planned activities at “worker nodes” in a distributed environment are provided by a “real-time self tuner” (RTST). The RTST provides self-tuning of controlled interoperation among an interconnected set of distributed components (i.e., worker nodes) including, for example, home appliances, security systems, lighting, sensor networks, medical electronic devices, wearable computers, robotics, industrial controls, wireless communication systems, audio nets, distributed computers, toys, games, etc. The RTST acts as a centralized “planner” that is either one of the nodes or a dedicated computing device. A set of protocols allow applications to communicate with the nodes, and allow one or more nodes to communicate with each other. Self-tuning of the interoperation and scheduling of tasks to be performed at each node uses an on-line sampling driven statistical model and predefined node “behavior patterns” to predict and manage resource requirements needed by each node for completing assigned tasks.

Systems and methods for a scalable architecture for radio device and systems are disclosed. This architecture employs a scalable bandwidth to deliver higher data rates and transmission ranges to devices that need them, while still delivering lower power solutions for devices which utilize a smaller bandwidth. These systems and methods may divide the available frequency spectrum into a set of fundamental sub-bands. Different devices may use various multiples of these sub-bands depending on their needs. Devices employing this architecture are also capable of interoperation with one another regardless of the bandwidth they utilize. A device may scan through each sub-band within which the device intends to operate, searching for a common beacon transmitted by other devices utilizing the sub-band. If a beacon is found the device can choose to interoperate with the other device or, alternatively, continue scanning the sub-bands until an unused sub-band is found.

If the versions are incompatible, an alternative redundancy operation mode may be used. Embodiments provide for negotiation of compatible message versions and capabilities among peer components or clients of the execution images as source information to generate the compatibility matrix.
