20090211910DIELECTROPHORETIC TWEEZERS APPARATUS AND METHODS - Dielectrophoretic (DEP) tweezers apparatus and methods for various applications, including particle trapping. Multiple electrodes (e.g., two or three) are disposed on or otherwise constitute an elongated object forming a tip. Exemplary electrode configurations include, but are not limited to, coaxial and triaxial arrangements. A voltage is applied across these electrodes to produce a non-uniform electromagnetic field proximate to the tip thereby creating a dielectrophoretic trap. Once trapped, a particle may be moved to desired locations via manipulation of the elongated object or the medium in which the particle is located. Multiple DEP tweezers apparatus may be arranged to form arrays of tips capable of respectively generating local electromagnetic fields confined to the tips. Such DEP arrays may be employed in nanofabrication processes involving nanolithography or nano-manipulation, as well as data storage and retrieval applications.08-27-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090089854Arrangement and method for managing testing and repair of set-top boxes - Arrangement and method for managing set-top boxes used by customers of a content service provider includes at least one automated tester each arranged to couple to set-top boxes and subject each set-top box to a series of automated tests to determine whether each set-top box is functioning properly or requires subsequent repair, and a processor unit coupled to each automated tester for receiving test results therefrom and monitoring testing of set-top boxes via the automated tester(s). Each automated tester is located at a testing facility maintained by the content service provider. A database stores the test results from the automated tester(s) and enables generation of customized reports about the set-top boxes tested by the automated tester(s). A billing system is coupled to each automated tester and to the processor unit and coordinates invoicing for testing performed by the automated tester(s) and repair of set-top boxes at a repair facility.04-02-2009

20100100001FIXATION-LOCKED MEASUREMENT OF BRAIN RESPONSES TO STIMULI - Fixation-locked measurement of brain activity generates time-coded cues indicative of whether an operator exhibited a significant cognitive response to task-relevant stimuli. The free-viewing environment is one in which the presentation of stimuli is natural to the task encompassing both pre- and post-fixation stimuli and the operator is allowed to move his or her eyes naturally to perform the task.04-22-2010
20110158510BIOLOGICALLY-INSPIRED METADATA EXTRACTION (BIME) OF VISUAL DATA USING A MULTI-LEVEL UNIVERSAL SCENE DESCRIPTOR (USD) - A computer vision system provides a universal scene descriptor (USD) framework and methodology for using the USD framework to extract multi-level semantic metadata from scenes. The computer vision system adopts the human vision system principles of saliency, hierarchical feature extraction and hierarchical classification to systematically extract scene information at multiple semantic levels.06-30-2011
20110159467EEG-BASED ACCELERATION OF SECOND LANGUAGE LEARNING - EEG-based acceleration of second language learning is accomplished by measuring via single-trial EEG a learner's cognitive response to the presentation (visual or auditory) of language learning materials and updating a user model of latent traits related to language-learning skills in accordance with the cognitive response. The user model is suitably updated with each trial, each trial being triggered by learner fixation on a portion of visual materials and/or a next phoneme in auditory materials. Additional discrimination may be achieved through the use of saccades or fixation duration features.06-30-2011

20090171240FUSION-BASED SPATIO-TEMPORAL FEATURE DETECTION FOR ROBUST CLASSIFICATION OF INSTANTANEOUS CHANGES IN PUPIL RESPONSE AS A CORRELATE OF COGNITIVE RESPONSE - A computationally efficient and robust approach for monitoring the instantaneous pupil response as a correlate to significant cognitive response to relevant stimuli derives data samples d(n) of the pupil diameter (area), v(n) of pupil velocity and a(n) of pupil acceleration from the pupillary response and segments the data samples into a sequence of time-shifted windows. A feature extractor extracts a plurality of spatio-temporal pupil features from the data samples from the response and baseline periods in each window. A classifier trained to detect patterns of the extracted spatio-temporal pupil features for relevant stimuli generates an output indicative of the occurrence of absence of a significant cognitive response in the subject to a relevant stimulus.07-02-2009
20090285500Bayesian approach for sensor super-resolution - Bayesian super-resolution techniques fuse multiple low resolution images (possibly from multiple bands) to infer a higher resolution image. The super-resolution and fusion concepts are portable to a wide variety of sensors and environmental models. The procedure is model-based inference of super-resolved information. In this approach, both the point spread function of the sub-sampling process and the multi-frame registration parameters are optimized simultaneously in order to infer an optimal estimate of the super-resolved imagery. The procedure involves a significant number of improvements, among them, more accurate likelihood estimates and a more accurate, efficient, and stable optimization procedure.11-19-2009
20100185113Coordinating System Responses Based on an Operator's Cognitive Response to a Relevant Stimulus and to the Position of the Stimulus in the Operator's Field of View - Neurophysiological responses such as EEG signals of brainwave activity, dilation signals of pupillary response, dwell time signals of eye movement and imaging signals of vascular response are monitored as a correlate of the operator's cognitive response. These responses are processed to determine if there is a significant cognitive response to a stimulus (visual or non-visual) to generate a positive cue. The operator's eye movement is monitored to determine when the operator fixates on the stimulus and the position of the stimulus in the operator's field-of view (FOV). The positive cue and position of the stimulus, and typically the time-stamp of the cue are output triggering a system response. The temporal sequence of cues and stimulus position may be processed to reinforce or reject the cue or refine the stimulus position.07-22-2010
