20080240147 | Media Access Control (MAC) for low-cost, low power sensor networks - This invention proposes unique methods and apparatus for networking low cost low energy sensor nodes. The invention focuses on efficient Media Access Control (MAC) schemes to provide differentiated Quality of Service (QoS) to the sensor nodes in single-hop wireless and wired networks where the source nodes do not have a receiver module. Hence they can only transmit data to a sink but cannot receive any control signals, like an ACK or NAK, from any other node. None of the existing schemes like polling or scheduled transmissions, CSMA or ARQ is thus effective in this type of networks. The proposed scheme provides QoS to the nodes using distributed control by allowing them to transmit each packet an optimal number of times within a given interval. | 10-02-2008 |
20140329497 | Smartdevices Enabled Secure Access to Multiple Entities (SESAME) - This invention proposes novel systems, methods and apparatus that utilize smart devices (e.g., smartphones) capable of reading/processing biometric inputs, and wireless communications over secure, short-range wireless channels (e.g., near field communications (NFC)) to securely access websites and cyber-physical system (CPS) entities such as vehicles, rooms and control knobs as well as sensors and smart meters. A user accesses a website on a display terminal or CPS entity by using her smart device to send her biometric credentials to request access for a service, and communicates with either the said terminal or the said CPS entity which is also capable of short-range wireless communications, using secure and short-range wireless channels to ensure the authenticity of the user when using the service. This system also protects the stored credentials of the user against loss or theft of the smart device since the credentials are encrypted by the user's biometrics, and the stored credentials on the smart device can only be accessed by a legitimate user using her biometrics. | 11-06-2014 |

20140214780 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENETIC DATA COMPRESSION - Genetic data may be compressed efficiently by selecting for each bi-allelic marker, from among multiple compression algorithms with different associated storage requirements that depend on the minor allele frequency of the respective marker, the algorithm that has the lowest storage requirements. Efficient approaches compress, store, and load pedigree file data. A hybrid method is used that selects between multiple alternative compression algorithms whose performance depends on the frequency of certain observable genetic variations. The hybrid method may achieve higher compression ratios than PLINK or PBAT. Further, it results in a compressed data format that, generally, does not require any overhead memory space and CPU time for decompression, and, consequently, has shorter loading times for compressed files than the binary format in PLINK or PBAT. Moreover, the compressed data fonnat supports parallel loading of genetic information, which decreases the loading time by a factor of the number of parallel jobs. | 07-31-2014 |

20100176270 | Volumetric error compensation system with laser tracker and active target - A volumetric error compensation measurement system and method are disclosed wherein a laser tracker tracks an active target as the reference point. The active target has an optical retroreflector mounted at the center of two motorized gimbals to provide full 360 degree azimuth rotation of the retroreflector. A position sensitive detector is placed behind an aperture provided at the apex of the retroreflector to detect the relative orientation between the tracker laser beam and the retroreflector by measuring a small portion of the laser beam transmitted through the aperture. The detector's output is used as the feedback for the servo motors to drive the gimbals to maintain the retroreflector facing the tracker laser beam at all times. The gimbals are designed and the position of the retroreflector controlled such that the laser tracker always tracks to a pre-defined single point in the active target, which does not move in space when the gimbals and/or the retroreflector makes pure rotations. Special mechanism and alignment algorithm are used in the gimbal design and retroreflector centering alignment to achieve accurate rotational axis alignment and repeatability. | 07-15-2010 |
