20090303237 | ALGORITHMS FOR IDENTITY ANONYMIZATION ON GRAPHS - The proliferation of network data in various application domains has raised privacy concerns for the individuals involved. Recent studies show that simply removing the identities of the nodes before publishing the graph/social network data does not guarantee privacy. The structure of the graph itself, and in is basic form the degree of the nodes, can be revealing the identities of individuals. To address this issue, a specific graph-anonymization framework is proposed. A graph is called k-degree anonymous if for every node v, there exist at least k−1 other nodes in the graph with the same degree as v. This definition of anonymity prevents the re-identification of individuals by adversaries with a priori knowledge of the degree of certain nodes. Given a graph G, the proposed graph-anonymization problem asks for the k-degree anonymous graph that stems from G with the minimum number of graph-modification operations. Simple and efficient algorithms are devised for solving this problem, wherein these algorithms are based on principles related to the realizability of degree sequences. | 12-10-2009 |

20140176959 | SWING-STYLE AND HIGH SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO DEMODULATION DEVICES AND CORRESPONDING DEMODULATION METHOD FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF LOW COHERENCE INTERFERENCE DISPLACEMENT - This invention provides a swing-style and high signal-to-noise ratio low coherence interference demodulation devices and the corresponding demodulation method for the measurement of displacement. In the displacement sensing method, the optical path difference, which is built by the light reflections from the reference surface and the test object, varies with the displacement of the test object. When the reflected signal lights is sent to a low coherence polarization interference system, the birefringent wedge formulates a spatial distribution of optical path difference, from which the optical path difference of the reflection signals thus can be demodulated. In the displacement scanning method, the reflected signal lights are collimated and transferred to a time scanner consisting of a rotating mirror and a f-θ lens, to perform thin light beam scanning along the longitudinal direction of a birefringent wedge. This innovation provides two demodulation devices that are both applicable for the measurement methods. One uses a linear camera array and the other uses a linear micropore array and single PIN photoelectric detector, to receive interference fringes. Since the energy of the scanning beam is highly concentrated, the signal-to-noise ratio for low coherence interference signal is significantly higher than that of the traditional devices. In addition, the accuracy of these demodulation devices is significantly improved, because the linear camera array and the linear micropore array maintain a consistent spatial position of the received light spot. | 06-26-2014 |
