Fuzzy logic based system and method for information processing with uncertain input data

A fuzzy logic information processing system and method are disclosed that may be used not only with known or definite data input but also with uncertain data input. The uncertain data input may be represented by a set of values wherein the possibility of any particular or specific value within the set being the true or accurate value is uncertain. The preferred embodiment of the system provides for an extensor to extend or map a representation of the uncertain data into at least one additional dimension related to dimensions of a set of rules used for making fuzzy logic inferences. The set of rules may be provided effectively in a mapped or graphed form. The set of rules and uncertain data are combined, for instance by locating intersection regions, to produce an output set that may be also be described as a map or plot. In a presently preferred embodiment the uncertain inputs and rules are represented mathematically or symbolically and then operated on to produce an output set. A projector then projects the output set to the desired output dimension as an output for the system. The system output may then be used for control purposes such as, for example only, a combat control system to provide a tactical picture, decision aid, presets for a guidance system, or the like.

Dynamic location-based social networking

A method and system for establishing a location based social networking is provided. A client application is provided on a communications device of a user seeking to establish the location based social network. The user creates a personal profile and a preference profile using the client application. The preference profile refers to characteristics the user seeks in potential members of the location based social network. The user transfers the personal and preference profiles to the social networking server which registers a location and range selected by the user. The social networking server identifies potential members within the registered location and range by matching the personal profile of each of the potential members with the preference and personal profiles of the user. The social networking server provides communications link between the user and the identified potential members upon mutual confirmation between the user and the identified potential members.

Global encryption system

A system and method for encryption, transmission and decryption of data based on a publicly or other wide area broadcast random number sequence. Encryption is by a selected subsequence from the broadcast random number sequence, the selection being at a sample time relative to a synchronization event, with the sample time calculated based on a private key. Decryption uses the same private key to select the same subsequence from the broadcast random number sequence, as detection by the sender and receiver of the synchronization event and a sampling time based on a commonly known private key allows the sampling to be synchronous. Alternative embodiments employ trusted agents if the tender and receiver do not have a common private key.

A contact information database, including records such as those stored in a personal address book, is applied to evaluate the reputation of a user and / or conduct fraud or spam detection. A number of different factors selected for reputation / fraud prediction value can be used in a statistical model to evaluate reputation of an individual based on an identifier, such as an email address. The factors can include information useful in predicting the reputation of an individual, such as in how many address books the email address or other information appears, whether emails have been previously sent to that email address, whether any such emails have been returned as undeliverable, and so forth. These factors can be used to create a vector including scores for the user on the various factors, which can be stored in a vector database and updated regularly as the information changes. The information in the vector database can be accessed by parties for use in reputation evaluation, fraud detection, etc. for a particular email address or individual.

Color Pixel Pattern Scheme for High Dynamic Range Optical Sensor

The use of a Bayer pattern array in digital image sensors to enhance the dynamic range of the sensors is disclosed. Each Bayer pattern in the array can include three different pixels having a first exposure, and a fourth pixel (which is the same color as one of the other pixels in the array) having a second exposure. The dynamic range of the Bayer pattern array can be enhanced by using different exposure times for the pixels. Each pixel can capture only one channel (i.e. either red (R), green (G) or blue (B) light). Interpolation of neighboring pixels, including those having different exposure times, can enable the pixels in the Bayer pattern array to generate missing color information and effectively become a color pixel, and can allow the Bayer pattern array to have a higher dynamic range.

Method and apparatus for determining surface characteristics by using spm techniques with acoustic excitation and real-time digitizing

By digitizing the UFM signal without using a lock-in amplifier, substantially all of the information initially contained in the UFM output signal may be maintained and may then be used for further data processing. Consequently, any type of model or evaluation algorithm may be used without being restricted to a very narrow bandwidth, as is the case in lock-in based techniques. The digitizing is performed on a real-time basis, wherein a complete UFM curve is digitized and stored for each scan position. In this way, quantitative meaningful values for specific surface-related characteristics with a nanometer resolution may be obtained.

Probe Routing in a Network

A method of network probing is described suitable for probing between a probe node and a destination node. The network comprises a further node which is connected to the probe node and the destination node. A node is typically selected to be a redirecting node and the routing rules at this redirecting node are changed. A node is typically selected to be a forwarding node and packet forwarding is enabled at the forwarding node. A probe packet transmitted between the probe node and the destination node can travel via the forwarding node. The result improves network probing by allowing probing of links not otherwise available for probing from the probe node, but without the disadvantages of complex packet processing at each node in the probe pathway.
