The present invention provides an electronic message management system (EMS) that includes a real-time feedback loop where data is collected from the electronic messages on incoming connection attempts, outgoing delivery attempts, and message content analysis, and written to a centralized data matrix. A separate process accesses the data matrix and analyzes trends in that data. The detected data patterns, trends or behavior is based on configuration parameters for the recipient. Based on these determinations, the process is able to instruct components in the EMS to accept, redirect, refuse, modify, defer, or otherwise dispose of the connection request, the delivery attempt, or the message. Associated methods for managing the transmission of electronic messages are also disclosed.

The present invention is directed to a method for inferring/estimating missing values in a data matrix d(q, r) having a plurality of rows and columns comprises the steps of: organizing the columns of the data matrix d(q, r) into affinity folders of columns with similar data profile, organizing the rows of the data matrix d(q, r) into affinity folders of rows with similar data profile, forming a graph Q of augmented rows and a graph R of augmented columns by similarity or correlation of common entries; and expanding the data matrix d(q, r) in terms of an orthogonal basis of a graph Q×R to infer/estimate the missing values in said data matrix d(q, r) on the diffusion geometry coordinates.

A wireless combination time, frequency and spectral shaping communications method that transmits data in convolution unit matrices (data frames) of N×N (N²), where generally either all N² data symbols are received over N spreading time intervals (each composed of N time slices), or none are. To transmit, the N² sized data frame matrix is multiplied by a first N×N time-frequency shifting matrix, permuted, and then multiplied by a second N×N spectral shaping matrix, thereby mixing each data symbol across the entire resulting N×N matrix (TFSSS data matrix). Columns from this N² TFSSS data matrix are selected, modulated, and transmitted, on a one element per time slice basis. At the receiver, the replica TFSSS matrix is reconstructed and deconvoluted, revealing the data. The method can accommodate multiple users at once, can adapt to changing channel conditions, and is particularly useful for coping with channel impairments such as Doppler shifts.

A method and system for distributing data from one or more main data sources to one or more consumer nodes. An abstract data matrix layer is provided between a producer layer and a consumer layer. A producer node multicasts data updates to selected data matrix nodes in the data matrix layer, and a consumer node registers with the data matrix layer to receive designated data updates. One or more data matrix nodes then serve the requested data updates on the requesting consumer node.

In a method and system for the dynamic analysis of data represented in distinct matrices, if two data matrices X and Y are present in which corresponding rows of X and Y each refer to the same underlying object, a relationship can developed between the X and Y data matrices, which allows for a prediction of responses in Y on the basis of inputted X-data. And, if a third data matrix Z is present in which corresponding columns of Y and row of Z each refer to the same underlying object, a relationship can developed between the X Y and Z data matrices, which allows for link between X and Z through Y.

Systems and methods for capturing and analyzing significant parameter data from vehicle systems whenever a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is triggered. A multi-dimensional matrix is constructed, with vehicles, DTCs, and parameter data comprising three dimensions of the matrix. The data matrix is populated with DTC and parameter data from many different vehicles, either when vehicles are taken to a dealer for service, or via wireless data download. Time can be added as a fourth dimension of the matrix, providing an indication of whether a particular system or component is temporally degrading. When sufficient data is accumulated, the data matrix is pre-processed, features are extracted from the data, and the features are classified, using a variety of mathematical techniques. Trained classifiers are then used to diagnose the root cause of any particular fault signal, and also to provide a prognosis of system health and remaining useful life.

The associated tool has etched into the surface thereof a data matrix code containing the same information as the code printed at the point of storage. The data matrix codes are readable by a scanner and a record of all the tools is maintained on a computer.

A system and method for simultaneously obtaining a plurality of images of an object or pattern from a plurality of different viewpoints is provided. In an exemplary embodiment, proper image contrast is obtained by replacing the light sources of earlier systems with equivalent light sensitive devices and replacing the cameras of earlier systems with equivalent light sources. With such a system, bright-field images and dark-field images may be simultaneously obtained. In one aspect of the invention, a light source is positioned to illuminate at least a portion of an object. A plurality of light guides having input ends are positioned to simultaneously receive light reflected from the object and transmit the received light to a plurality of photodetectors. The light guides are arranged such that their respective input ends are spaced substantially equally along at least a portion of a surface of an imaginary hemisphere surrounding the object. The signals generated by the photodetectors (as a result of light detection) are processed and a plurality of images of the object are formed. Another aspect of the invention provides a method for generating composite images from simultaneously obtained images. Equivalent regions of each image (corresponding to geographically identical subpictures) are compared. The subpicture having the highest entropy is selected and stored. This process continues until all subpictures have been considered. A new composite picture is generated by pasting together the selected subpictures. In another aspect of the invention, the vector of relative light values gathered for each pixel or region of an object illuminated or scanned (i.e., one value for each photodetector) is used to determine reflectance properties of points or regions illuminated on the object or pattern. The reflectance properties may be stored in a matrix and the matrix used to read, for example, a Bar Code of a data matrix symbol.

A method for tracking coronary artery motion includes constructing (11) a centerline model of a vascular structure in a base phase image in a sequence of 2D images of coronary arteries acquired over a cardiac phase, computing (12), for each pixel in a region-of-interest in each subsequent image, a velocity vector that represent a change in position between the subsequent image and base phase image, calculating (13) positions of control points in each phase using the velocity vectors, and applying (14) PCA to a P×2N data matrix X^T constructed from position vectors (x, y) of N centerline control points for P phases to identify d eigenvectors corresponding to the largest eigenvalues of XX^T to obtain a d-dimensional linear motion model {circumflex over (α)}_p, in which a centerline model for a new image at phase p+1 is estimated by adding {circumflex over (α)}_p to each centerline control point of a previous frame at phase p.

A method for accelerating data acquisition in MRI with N-dimensional spatial encoding has a first method step in which a transverse magnetization within an imaged object volume is prepared having a non-linear phase distribution. Primary spatial encoding is thereby effected through application of switched magnetic fields. Two or more RF receivers are used to simultaneously record MR signals originating from the imaged object volume, wherein, for each RF receiver, an N-dimensional data matrix is recorded which is undersampled by a factor R_i per selected k-space direction. Data points belonging to a k-space matrix which were not recoded by a selected acquisition schema are reconstructed using a parallel imaging method, wherein reference information concerning receiver coil sensitivities is extracted from a phase-scrambled reconstruction of the undersampled data matrix. The method generates a high-resolution image free of artifacts in a time-efficient manner by improving data sampling efficiency and thereby reducing overall data acquisition time.

The invention discloses a bilateral constraint self-adaptive wavebeam forming method for a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) radar, which can constrain both transmitting signals and receiving signals. Firstly, a plurality of transmitting signal data can be recorded, and the corresponding echo signals can be sampled, all vectors which are obtained by the recorded transmitting signal data and the sampled echo signals are respectively ranked by row to form a data matrix, and an optimal weight vector required for forming the wavebeam is calculated by the dual iterative calculation method, finally, the calculated optimal weight can be used to form the wavebeam. The method can overcome the shortcomings of large sample number and complex calculation in traditional self-adaptive wavebeam-forming method which is applied to the MIMO radar. Compared with the traditional self-adaptive wavebeam-forming method, the obtained antenna array pattern is provided with lower side lobe and better wavebeam shape preserving ability. The performance by using the method to perform Doppler frequency detection for movable object after the received MIMO radar data is filtered in spatial field also exceeds that of the traditional self-adaptive wavebeam-forming method.
