Risk mitigation and management is provided through an executive management application for the active management of operational risks, derived from exposure to factors that threaten strategic objectives related to operations, strategy, regulation and recording priorities. This system is based on a architecture that automates the Committee Of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) framework for enterprise risk management, using the objective, risk, control and actions (ORCA) methodology to actively manage risk at the business unit level. This business process and feedback mechanism actively isolates, evaluates and escalates risks and controls in an interactive, proactive and dynamic manor. Workflow, alerts, messaging and roles and permission profiles route risk information to all relevant entities to ensure enterprise-wide visibility of, for example, a companies overall risk exposure.

High availability is provided in a multi-array storage system at the logical storage unit level. One or more storage arrays export logical storage units (LUNs). Each storage array maps the LUNs to physical groups of disks or disk partitions within the array. A controller coupled to the storage arrays arranges the LUNs from all the arrays so that one or more LUN(s) are designated as spare LUN(s). If a disk failure occurs within any disk in any array, the contents of one or more of the LUN(s) associated with the group of disks containing the failed disk are re-established on the spare LUN(s). If the physical groups of disks are RAID protected, then after affected LUNs are moved, the storage array containing the failed disk removes the failed disk from its group and re-establishes RAID protection across the remaining disks in the group.

A flexible, non-linear, unit-level sortation system for sorting mixed collections of items into orders. Collections of unsorted items for fulfilling requests are delivered to one or more singulation stations. At a singulation station, individual units of items are selected from a collection, associated with particular conveyance receptacles, and placed into the receptacles, with one and only one unit per receptacle. The receptacles may be inducted into a conveyance mechanism under the direction of a control system. The receptacles are not fixed to the conveyance mechanism. The control system may direct the conveyance mechanism to route the receptacles to a particular one of one or more sorting stations. At a sorting station, the units may retrieved from receptacles and placed into locations corresponding to particular orders under control or direction of the control system. The conveyance mechanism may, but does not necessarily, return empty conveyance receptacle to a singulation station.

Cross-component prediction (CCP) and adaptive color transform (ACT) may be performed concurrently in a video coding system. CCP and ACT may be enabled/disabled at the same level (e.g. at the transform unit level) via an indicator signaled in the bitstream such as the ACT enable indicator for the CU. Inverse CCP and ACT may be operated at the same level (e.g. at the transform unit level). Prediction residuals may be converted to original color space without waiting for reconstruction of luma and chroma residuals of an entire prediction unit or coding unit. CCP and ACT transforms may be combined into one process to reduce encoding/decoding latency. Differences in dynamic ranges of color components may be compensated by variable dynamic range adjustments. Differences in bit depths between luma and chroma components may be compensated by selectively disabling the ACT coding tool, scaling a component output of the CCP, adjusting a quantization parameters (QPs) and/or shifting a component output of an inverse transform of the video coding system.

An image based document index and retrieval method is described. During document indexing, each source document is analyzed to generate index information at document, page, region and unit levels. Region and unit level index information is generated by segmenting each text region into units, constructing unit length or unit density histograms, and analyzing the units in a few most frequent bins of the histogram. The index information and the source document images are stored in a database. During document retrieval, a target document is analyzed to generate target index information in the same way as during document indexing. The target index information is compared to stored index information in a progressive manner (from higher to lower levels) to identify source documents with index information that matches the target index information. Fuzzy logic is used in the comparison steps to increase the robustness of the document retrieval.

A method for achieving high sub-unit accuracy during global motion estimation of sequential video frame images is described herein. The method estimates the global motion using an existing phase-correlation approach, and further refines it to a sub-unit level using the neighborhood values of the phase correlation surface peak The method determines the sub-unit displacement direction by examining the signs of the peak of phase correlation surface and its two nearest neighbors. The method determines the sub-unit displacement magnitude by applying the ratio of associated phase correlation values to a 5^th-order polynomial function. The method then computes the actual motion by adding the sub-unit displacement value to the global motion value as calculated by the phase-correlation approach.

The method comprises the following steps: computing each frame of image, so as to obtain a saliency map of each frame of image; computing the saliency weighted average of each maximum coded unit according to the saliency map of each frame of image; performing target bit allocation on each coded unit according to the ratio of the weighted average of each maximum coded unit to a saliency map of an uncoded unit; acquiring a lagrangian multiplier based on saliency through the introduction of approximate saliency distortion of an original image and a reconstructed image; adjusting subsequent frame-level bit allocation, so as to realize a rate control function. The method takes the fact that saliency maps guide the bit allocation of a current frame and distortion situation based on saliency before and after coding into account, thereby achieving guiding effect on the frame-level rate control of a subsequent frame, and capable of realizing rate control based on saliency in a maximum coded unit level and image level.
