| 20120093424 | DATA CLUSTERING - A clustering procedure for grouping a set of images is selected from amongst plural clustering procedures. A predetermined categorization of objects such as images is input, and image features are extracted from each image in the set of images. A comparison measure is determined, by which to compare respective features of the set of images. Respective features between the images in the set of images are compared, based on the comparison measure, and a group of measures representing the differences between features of respective images is output. The plural clustering procedures are applied to the set of images to cluster the images based in part on the calculated group of measures. A clustering quality score is generated for each clustering procedure, based on the clusters created by the clustering procedure and the predetermined categorization of images. The clustering procedure with a high clustering quality score is selected. | 04-19-2012 |
| 20120096359 | SELECTING REPRESENTATIVE IMAGES FOR DISPLAY - Representative images are selected for display from a group. A dissimilarity measure is selected, by which to compute dissimilarities between features of respective images in the group. Dissimilarities between the images in the group are computed, based on the selected dissimilarity measure. A relative dissimilarity between each image and the other images in the group is determined, based on the relative dissimilarity between the feature of the image and the features of the other images in the group. An image in the group is selected as a representative image for display, using the relative dissimilarity of the image as a probability bias in the selection. | 04-19-2012 |

| 20110208076 | ECG MONITORING SYTSTEM WITH DOCKING STATION - An ECG monitoring system for ambulatory patients includes a battery-powered ECG monitor which attaches to a patient to receive patient electrical signals. A processor continuously processes received ECG signals and stores the signals in memory in the monitor. A wireless transceiver in the ECG monitor transmits the processed ECG signals to a cellphone handset. The battery of the monitor is recharged when the monitor is properly positioned in a charging dock, during which time the ECG signals are sent to the cellphone handset. Preferably the cellphone handset is recharged by the charging dock at the same time. At the conclusion of recharging and data transfer the monitor performs a self-test. A light on the charging dock is illuminated if any of the operations performed while the monitor is docked is unsuccessful. | 08-25-2011 |

The secondary mirror is generally curved and expands the electromagnetic radiation received from the source prior to outputting the HEL beam from the primary mirror. The subsystem further includes a track telescope coupled to the housing. The track telescope has a track detector configured to receive electromagnetic radiation originating from the HEL and electromagnetic radiation emitted from an illuminator and reflected from an airborne target. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100283988 | SEMI-ACTIVE OPTICAL TRACKING SYSTEM - A system and method for tracking an airborne target including an illumination source (e.g., a diode laser array) is used to enhance a target signature and a detector (e.g., a passive high-speed camera) is used to detect to electromagnetic radiation (e.g., infrared radiation) reflected off the target. The received electromagnetic radiation may be processed by a digital computer and passed through a spatial filter that implements a band limited edge detection operation in the frequency domain. The filter may remove low spatial frequencies that attenuate soft edged clutter such as clouds and smoke as well as filter out artifacts and attenuated medium to high spatial frequencies to inhibit speckle noise from the detector as well as speckle from the laser return off the target. | 11-11-2010 |

| 20090077532 | AUTOMATED ANNOTATION INFERENCE FOR SAFETY CERTIFICATION OF AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED CODE - Systems and methods for providing generic post-generation annotation inference for verification of auto-generated code by automatically inferring safety annotations used to prove software safety. The inferred logical annotations are obtained by taking into account code patterns and safety requirements. The locations for inserting the annotations in the auto-generated code are obtained by using the code patterns to produce a flow graph of the result sensitive variables and the paths to all their corresponding definitions. The verification is customized to reduce unwarranted warnings by imposing no inherent restriction on the precision. A detailed report of verification of the auto-generated code is generated to permit independent verification and validation by a third party. The method operates independently from a model used to generate the code or internal templates of the code generator. The system may use untrusted components for inferring annotations and annotating the code. | 03-19-2009 |
