Examples of some recent projects include:
Vector trapping — designed to complement our CPL/Opus
product, CPL/Orval automatically traps
(grip, choke & spread) vector graphics for printing
purposes.
Constant rate disk driver — SATA drives are much faster at the
edge than the middle. We developed a RAID device driver which
interleaves data across disks to maintain a constant aggregate
throughput.
Embedded timecode extraction — wrote a utility to extract
embedded (on-screen) timecode from an mpeg2 data stream, using
OCR techniques.
Video wall synchronization — implemented a Linux device
driver to to synchronize eight separate video sources, utilizing a
standard parallel port for point-to-point communication.
XFS optimizations — developed functionality to
defragment file sequences on SGI/XFS formatted disks.
A report on the state-of-the-art for automatic pagination systems.
