20100265138	DETERMINING A DIRECTION OF ARRIVAL OF SIGNALS INCIDENT TO A TRIPOLE SENSOR - A system to determine a direction of arrival of each of a plurality of constituent signals of a superimposed wave includes a tripole radio antenna, a sampling unit, a frequency determining unit, an amplitude and phase determining unit, and a direction determining unit. The sampling unit is configured to periodically sample an output of the tripole radio antenna to generate at least two samples. The frequency determining unit is configured to determine frequencies for each dimension of the constituent signals by performing a unitary matrix pencil method on the at least two samples. The amplitude and phase determining unit is configured to determine x, y, z amplitudes and x, y, z phases for each constituent signal using the determined frequencies. The direction determining unit is configured to determine a direction of arrival for each of the constituent signals from the determined frequencies, amplitudes, and phases.	10-21-2010

20090201817	METHOD OF OPTIMIZING A FLOW OF VALUE IN A NETWORK - A method of modeling flow between first and second economic entities (EEs), where the first and second EEs interact either directly or indirectly with other, including defining a network to which the first and second EEs belong, expressing economic interactions of each of the EEs in the network and for each economic interaction, determining first and second value transfers, which are respectively defined as a total of a set of transfers of value from one EE to another, and vice versa, and expressing a flow based on an absolute value of a difference between the first and the second value transfers, determining a value of a wallet of each of the EEs in the network based on external information, and calculating a maximum flow from the first EE to the second EE.	08-13-2009
