Computer Software

A new error correction code is introduced that allows for recovery of some lost packets even when excessive packet losses make full recovery of all lost packets impossible.

Propagation models of worms in mobile ad hoc networks are provided. These models can be used in the design of systems for detecting new, previously unknown, worms in these networks.

This invention provides a software-based method and apparatus for highly accurate predictions,on a continuous and automatic basis, of cardiac output and left atrial blood pressures, an innovation that promises significantly improved treatment for cardiac patients. The above predictions are obtained by mathematically analyzing blood pressure readings routinely obtained in the hospital through use of catheters.

A new augmented reality technique guides a user's attention to objects in 3D space. In addition to drawing the user's attention, it can be used to provide information and initiate procedures related to the object or to aid user navigation.

Easy to use and reliable virtual user interfaces are provided in augmented reality systems though the use of fiducials, or digital tattoos.

An algorithm and a circuit are provided for implementing high-speed CMOS analog decoders. This technology is useful for iterative decoding of turbo, low-density parity-check (LDPC) or turbo-like coded data.

Ejection Fractions can be accurately predicted on a continuous basis in heart patients from invasive and non-invasive means, making possible greatly improved care in ICUs and allowing major cost reductions through providing real time EF data to hospitals from patients at home.

Automatic fingerprint matching using Level 3 features in conjunction with Level 1 and Level 2 features

A new type of neural network is introduced that uses a multi-layer design with in-place learning. This provides a simpler, more efficient, and more effective network architecture for neural networks that can be automatically trained for classification and regression analysis.

Simultaneous bit error rate and distortion minimization in a communication system is achieved by utilizing information about the source encoding and exploiting the non-uniformity in Gray-coded constellations used for modulation.
