The invention relates to detection of focal epileptiform activity. In order to accomplish an EEG-based mechanism that enables the detection and localization of focal epileptiform activity, a first plurality of brain wave signals is obtained from a subject and a signal-specific measure indicative of the degree of epileptiform activity is determined for at least some of the first plurality of brain wave signals, thereby to obtain a second plurality of signal-specific measures. An indication of the presence of focal epileptiform activity is provided based on the second plurality of signal-specific measures. This may involve, for example, a comparison of the signal-specific measures. If significant mutual differences are detected in the measures, focal epileptiform activity is detected.

The present invention proposes an encryption/decryption method able to resist against various attack strategies such as Simple Power Analysis, Timing Analysis or Differential Power Analysis. The method is carried out by a plurality of encryption/decryption modules arranged in series, wherein an encryption/decryption module, different from the first module, starts encryption/decryption operations as soon as said module receives a part of the results of encryption/decryption operations from the immediately preceding encryption/decryption module.

In a method for encoding and an encoder statistical information is generated and said statistical information (LSB=F(MSB) about the reconstruction values to be used during reconstruction (sometimes called “inverse quantization”) is added to the encoded data signal. The encoded data signal comprises data information providing information on the relation between parts of the original input data removed during quantization and the quantized data. The decoder and decoding method use the information data during reconstruction. This enables reconstruction values to be used during reconstruction that can adapt to the input data statistics thereby improving data reconstruction and reducing the quantization error. The reconstruction at the decoder is guided by information data which is gathered at the encoder, this information data being derived from determining statistical information on the removed parts of the input data in relation to the after quantization remaining quantized data.

A method for locating a moving magnetic object, comprising: determining the position or the orientation of the magnetic object from measurements of an array of N (an integer greater than 5) tri-axial magnetometers mechanically linked to one another with no degree, the method also comprises the reiteration of the following steps. Estimating the position of the magnetic object relative to the array of magnetometers from measurements of the magnetometers made in a preceding iteration or from a measurement of a sensor distinct from the magnetometers of the array of magnetometers so that this estimation is obtained before making a new measurement using the magnetometers of the array; computing the distance between each magnetometer and the estimated position of the magnetic object; eliminating the Ni magnetometers closest to this estimated position, where Ni is a positive integer number strictly less than N; making a new measurement, by each non-eliminated magnetometer, of the magnetic field generated or modified by the magnetic object; and determining a new position or a new orientation of the magnetic object from the new measurements of the magnetometers which have not been eliminated and without taking into account new measurements made by the eliminated magnetometers, so as to obtain a new location of the magnetic object.

A method operates a hearing device for a user. In the method, electromyography is performed, in which a muscle activity of an auricular muscle of the user is measured by an electrode array. The muscle activity is continuously measured to detect a complex activity profile of the auricular muscle, in which the user's intention is coded. The electrode array generates a sensor signal that is classified by means of a classifier, and in this classification process, the muscle activity is decoded and the underlying intention is determined by examining whether the sensor signal has a previously known feature vector. The previously known feature vector is assigned to an operating mode of the hearing device, which is set when the sensor signal has the previously known feature vector.

A method processes keypoint trajectories in a video, wherein the keypoint trajectories describe motion of a plurality of keypoints across pictures of the video over time, by first acquiring the video of a scene using a camera. Kkeypoints and associated feature descriptors are detected in each picture. The keypoints and associated features descriptors are matched between neighboring pictures to generate keypoint trajectories. Then, the keypoint trajectories are coded predictively into a bitstream, which is outputted.

The sort key is appended to the text items and comprises at least one character with a value within the Private Use range of the Unicode format.

A system and method for generating radio tomographic images is provided. A plurality of transceivers positioned around a region to be imaged is divided into a plurality of pixels. A control apparatus is configured to cause each of the plurality of transceivers in turn to send a signal to each of the other transceivers.
