摘要： An information carrier in a preferred embodiment is worn like a dog-tag and carries data such as medical information. The tag operates wirelessly, communicating with a nearby reader which interrogates the tag with a selected combination of RF signal frequencies. Extremely long term battery usage is achieved by connecting the battery in the tag only when the proper combination of RF signals, each at least at a minimum threshold power level, is received at the tag to produce a trigger voltage in activation logic to close a solid state switch. After a sequence of communications between the reader and the tag is then completed to transfer selected data from the memory, the battery is again disconnected to preserve battery energy for very long periods of time. The battery may be slowly recharged by ambient energy using a scavenging antenna array.

摘要： A system and method that will improve QoS (Quality of Service) of wireless video transmission systems. This is done by “in-fly” monitoring of BER by periodically transmitting “test images”, which images are known to the RF-receiver (Rx). BER can be automatically computed, within a related BIT (Built-in-Test) procedure that is also the subject of this invention. This allows predictions of a proper increasing, or decreasing of bandwidth OVH-level, in order to compensate for a BER-change. BER computation is facilitated by distinguishing video frames based on whether they depict new spatial events or related temporal events. Another subject of this invention is a motion-based pre-ATR method that is an introduction to common ATR, or pattern recognition methods. Yet another subject of this invention is a process of implanting error correcting bits into a payload, in the form of imperceptible watermarks. Still other aspects hereof, relate to such networks as: MAN, WAN, Tactical Internet, and others, to provide extra protection of headers, by implanting them into payloads, with a high level of Bit-Selective-Error Correction. Also included herein is a novel compression concept for still images which applies the spatial or meaningful frame technique to still imagery in a wavelet compression format.

摘要： One subject of this invention is the development of a novel region of interest (ROI) method, or Frame Segmentation Method that can be provided within a video stream, in real-time, or more precisely within a few milliseconds of video frame duration of 30 msec, or even in the sub-millisecond range. This video frame segmentation is the basis of Pre-ATR-based Ultra-Real-Time (PATURT) video compression. Still other subjects of this invention are morphing compression, and watermarking, also based on the PATURT. The applications of the PATURT innovation include ROI-based real-time video recording that has special applications for aircraft pilot/cockpit video recording in “black-box” devices, recording aircraft accidents, or catastrophes. Such black-box devices usually need to pass high impact (3400 g), high temperature (1100° C., in 1 h), and other harsh environmental tests. In this invention, they also have the capability of reporting the last cockpit events up to 0.5 seconds before an accident, including all cockpit sensor readings, as well as pilots' behavior, the latter with fully scrambled and non-recoverable facial information. Further applications include video surveillance. The latter can be also applied to missile defense (recognizing real target or real missile, from false targets (decoys)), or to other Ultra-Real-Time (URT) civilian and military scenarios.

摘要： An improved stacked rotary connector assembly wherein each connector comprises a pair of rings and the rings of each rotary connector thereof are individually split and mechanically separable. Because the input and output rings are each split and separable, any one rotary connector may be removed from the stack without requiring removal of any other rotary connector and without disturbing the input/output buses of the assembly.

摘要： Methods and apparatuses for still image compression, video compression and automatic target recognition are disclosed. The method of still image compression uses isomorphic singular manifold projection whereby surfaces of objects having singular manifold representations are represented by best match canonical polynomials to arrive at a model representation. The model representation is compared with the original representation to arrive at a difference. If the difference exceeds a predetermined threshold, the difference data are saved and compressed using standard lossy compression. The coefficients from the best match polynomial together with the difference data, if any, are then compressed using lossless compression. The method of motion estimation for enhanced video compression sends I frames on an “as-needed” basis, based on comparing the error between segments of a current frame and a predicted frame. If the error exceeds a predetermined threshold, which can be based on program content, the next frame sent will be an I frame. The method of automatic target recognition (ATR) including tracking, zooming, and image enhancement, uses isomorphic singular manifold projection to separate texture and sculpture portions of an image. Soft ATR is then used on the sculptured portion and hard ATR is used on the texture portion.

摘要： A panoramic annular lens system (PAL), a unitary video camera and a PC-based software system that unwraps a 360° video image into a seamless, distortion free horizontal image image in real time. The PAL system of the preferred embodiment has a 360° horizontal field of view and a 90° vertical field of view in a 40 mm diameter compact package. The invention is not limited to any particular type of lens system. In fact, there are numerous lens systems for providing a 360° panoramic view. The video camera may be a CCD or CMOS based device having a pixel resolution of either 1280×1024 (high resolution) or 720×480 (NTSC). The unwrapping system is a radiometric ray tracing program carried out using a computer's graphics card capabilities to produce highly efficient regional transformation while minimizing software overhead. The result is real time, high resolution 30 fps conversion from a spherical distorted image to a flat panoramic image in Cartesian coordinates.
