Signal differentiation system using improved non-linear operator

InactiveUS6952662B2Guaranteed bandwidthAccurate signal differentiation determinationNuclear monitoringDigital computer detailsEngineeringLinearity
A system for detecting subtle differences in a signal in a set of linearly and / or non-linearly related signals that characterize a sensor-instrumented machine, process or living system. The system employs an improved similarity operator for signal differentiation. Signals or data representative of several linearly and / or non-linearly related parameters that describe a machine, process or living system are input to the inventive system, which compares the input to acceptable modeled states. If one or more of the input signals or data are different than expected, given the relationships between the parameters, the inventive system will indicate that difference. The system can provide expected parameter values, as well as the differences between expected and input signals; or the system can provide raw measures of similarity between the collection of input signals and the collection of acceptable modeled states. The system can be embodied in software or in a micro-controller.

Network System

An encryption communication module on the side of a service providing server reports a global IP address allocated to an NAPT router on the service providing server side and a port number of an outside UDP header used on the global side to an authentication / key exchange server. When receiving an encryption packet from an encryption communication module on the user terminal side, the encryption communication module on the service providing server side overwrite a source / destination IP address of an inside IP header by a source / destination IP address of an outside IP header. The encryption communication module further changes a source port number of an inside TCP•UDP header to a unique value for each communication session in the encryption communication having the same source IP address in the outside IP header. The inverse header change is made when the packet is transmitted to the encryption communication module of the user terminal side.

System and Method for Muulti-Dimensional Organization, Management, and Manipulation of Remote Data

The Quantum Matrix system is a multi-dimensional, multi-threaded exchange environment for data organization, management, and manipulation. Data is organized into a multi-dimensional structure of nodes. Nodes may represent data, absence of data, or another set of nodes. The multi-dimensional structure or portions of it can be automatically created from a file system. One or more associations are also defined for the multi-dimensional structure. An association indicates a relationship between a node and another node, data, or a set of nodes. The multi-dimensional structure is then displayed three-dimensionally and navigated. Relational logic, Boolean algebra, or a scripting language can be applied to the nodes, data, and associations to produce a resultant set of nodes. Furthermore, portions of the multi-dimensional structure can be isolated with the use of planes to ease navigation.

A catheter assembly is disclosed comprising: a hydrophilic catheter; a wetting fluid for wetting of the catheter; and a receptacle enclosing at least the insertable part of the catheter and the wetting fluid. Further, the wetting fluid is a solution incorporating at least one osmolality-increasing compound, and the total concentration of the osmolality-increasing compound(s) is very high, preferably exceeding 600 mOsm / dm3. The wetting fluid could either be arranged in contact with the hydrophilic surface layer of the catheter in the receptacle, for preservation of the hydrophilic surface layer in a wetted state during accommodation in said receptacle and provision of a ready-to-use catheter assembly, or be arranged to keep the wetting fluid separated from the hydrophilic surface layer of the catheter during storage, but to be brought into contact with said hydrophilic surface layer upon activation before an intended use of the catheter. A similar method and wetting fluid is disclosed as well. The provision of the osmolality-increasing compound in the wetting fluid provides several advantages per se, such as a improved properties of the hydrophilic coating, a more predictable and controllable wetting process, a more expedient and cost efficient production, etc. Further, the use of this very high concentration of osmolality-increasing compound in the wetting fluid has proven remarkably efficient.

System, method, and computer program product for near-real time load balancing across multiple rendering pipelines

A system, method, and computer program product for creating a sequence of computer graphics frames, using a plurality of rendering pipelines. For each frame, each rendering pipeline receives a subset of the total amount of graphics data for the particular frame. At the completion of a frame, each rendering pipeline sends a performance report to a performance monitor. The performance monitor determines whether or not there was a significant disparity in the time required by the respective rendering pipelines to render their tiles. If a disparity is detected, and if the disparity is determined to be greater than some threshold, an allocation module resizes the tiles for the next frame. This serves to balance the load across rendering pipelines for each frame.
