Data Processing/Analysis

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.

A strain rate monitor integrating the sensing and data collection functions using floating-gate circuitry so efficient that the electrical power generated by the piezo sensing element itself is sufficient for the entire device. This allows the complete monitor to be small enough to embed directly into the structure being monitored.

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.

The technology is an improved air flow sensor for automotive engines that can measure air mass flow when the flow is unsteady and has direction reversals. This will enable superior engine control and resulting improved engine performance.

A 3D, augmented reality system includes a video capture system for obtaining and transmitting 3D images of a user's face and a head-mounted display that provides an augmented reality environment in which the user observes both physical objects and virtual objects.
