20160093104 | Virtual Reality Envrionment Color and Contour Processing System - A method and apparatus for generating a virtual reality environment. Data requirements for generating the virtual reality environment are identified. The virtual reality environment includes objects that are displayed on a display system using a group of models defined by a group of standards. Discrete points for the objects are generated from the models based on the data requirements for generating the virtual reality environment for a selected point in time. At least one of color adjustments or contour adjustments is identified for a portion of the discrete points based on the group of standards and the data requirements when adjustments are needed. The discrete points are modified based on at least one of the color adjustments or the contour adjustments identified to form modified discrete points, which enable generating the virtual reality environment with a desired level of accuracy for training. | 03-31-2016 |

20080318530 | Sir Estimation Techniques - The estimated power levels that are used to estimate a signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) are filtered so as to minimize the mean-square error (MSE) of the estimated power estimates. First order infinite impulse response (IIR) filters are used to filter both the signal power estimates and the noise power estimates. Optionally, estimates of the average signal power and average interference power are filtered using Weiner linear prediction filters. The SIR estimates are suitable for use in a transmission channel that includes fading as well as interference, and are suitable for use in BPSK, QPSK, and other modulation systems. | 12-25-2008 |
20090180522 | FIRST SIGNIFICANT PATH DETECTION - A scheme determines the first significant path (FSP) of a received multipath signal, from data defining the relative delay and the amplitude of the individual signal paths occurring in a series of time frames. The scheme includes filtering the data to spread the signal paths, performing a persistence test between frames to reject spurious signal paths, combining the energy of the signal paths in a frame, applying a test to determine the time at which the combined energy satisfies a criterion, and selecting the FSP dependent on that time. The combined energy may be evaluated within a sliding window, and the position of the window within the frame determined that maximizes the combined energy. Alternatively, the combined energy may be evaluated as the cumulative energy through the frame, and the position determined at which the cumulative energy reaches a threshold. | 07-16-2009 |
20100070826 | TURBO DECODER WITH EXTRINSIC INFORMATION SCALING MODULES - The invention related to a turbo decoder comprising SISO decoding modules each other interconnected in a feedback control scheme having scaling modules for applying a scaling factor to extrinsic information delivered by said SISO decoding modules. The turbo decoder comprises a selection module for adaptively selecting said scaling factor based on a number of decoding iterations of the turbo decoder. | 03-18-2010 |

20090323874 | CHANNEL ESTIMATION USING COMMON AND DEDICATED PILOTS - The present invention relates to a receiver apparatus and method of channel estimation in a telecommunication system which provides at least two pilot sequences, and to a computer program product. Channel estimation is achieved by estimating channel taps separately for each of the at least two pilot sequences in every transmission block, and for applying estimated channel taps obtained from the estimation to at least one of a temporal and spatial filtering or combining operation to refine the channel estimate. Accordingly, temporal correlations and cross-correlations of the at least two pilot sequences are exploited without requiring knowledge of path delays and beamforming parameters. | 12-31-2009 |

20120234508 | MULTISTABLE SHAPE-SHIFTING SURFACES - Multistable shape-shifting surfaces that retain their effectiveness as physical barriers while undergoing changes in shape and that can remain stable in the various shapes. The shape changes include any motion that makes the surface more effective at performing its function, such as expansion, shrinkage, twisting, encircling, wiggling, swallowing or constricting. The shape-shifting surfaces include tiled arrays of polygonal cells, each cell including specifically-designed compliant flexures attached to specifically-shaped overlapping thin plates or shells. The surfaces remain stable by leveraging them during deformation to an extent that they cannot spontaneously return to the unstressed shape. Applications for such surfaces include micro-scale cellular engineering and macro-scale biomedical applications, recreational uses, national security, and environmental protection. | 09-20-2012 |
