    Abstract: The current document is directed to digital-image-normalization methods and systems that generate accurate intensity mappings between the intensities in two digital images. The intensity mapping generated from two digital images is used to normalize or adjust the intensities in one image in order to produce a pair of normalized digital images to which various types of change-detection methodologies can be applied in order to extract differential data. In one approach, a mapping model is selected to provide a basis for statistically meaningful intensity normalization. In this implementation, a genetic optimization approach is used to determine and refine model parameters. The implementation produces a hybrid intensity mapping that includes both intensity mappings calculated by application of the mapping model and intensity mappings obtained directly from comparison of the images.

    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to broadband polarization diversity antennas. In one aspect, a polarization diversity antenna includes a baseboard with a baseboard-feed line located on a first surface. The baseboard-feed line includes a serpentine meander-line portion. The antenna also includes an antenna-array board with two or more antenna elements arranged in a series. The antenna-array board is attached to the first surface with the serpentine meander-line portion located between an edge of the antenna-array board and the baseboard. Each antenna element is connected to the serpentine meander-line portion via an antenna-feed line located on the antenna-array board. The antenna array provides two dimensional polarization broadcasting and receiving of electromagnetic radiation. In another aspect, a notch antenna is formed on an opposing second surface of the baseboard opposite the antenna-array board in order to provide three-dimensional polarization broadcasting and receiver of electromagnetic radiation.

    Abstract: The present document discloses motors and motor components that are constructed on a planar substrate. In some implementations, the planar substrate is made from rigid or semi-rigid sheet material, such as a printed circuit board (“PCB”). One or more coils are formed using spiral-shaped conductive traces that overlay the front and/or back surfaces of the substrate. In one implementation, a plurality of alternating right-hand and left-hand spiral-shaped conductive traces are separated by insulating layers, and connected with conductive vias to form inductive coils. Alternative coil-configurations include single-drive counter-wound coils and coils having a central ferrous or magnetic core.

    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to broadband notch antennas. In one aspect, a notch antenna includes a dielectric plate having a first surface and a second surface located opposite the first surface. A conductive layer is disposed on the first surface and has a notch region that exposes the dielectric plate between edges of the conductive layer. The antenna also includes two or more frequency matching circuits that branch from the notch region. Each matching circuit is configured to send and receive electromagnetic radiation in a frequency band of a radio spectrum.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for leadership allocation in a distributed computer system. In certain embodiments of the present invention, a leader-election-service process runs within each node of a distributed computer system, together cooperatively providing a distributed-leader-election service. The distributed-leader-election service employs a distributed consensus service to manage distributed state information related to roles and leadership allocation within a distributed computer system. Client processes within each node interface with the leader-election-service process of the node in order to assume leadership of particular roles within the distributed computer system. Leadership-allocation management is thus centralized, within each node. In alternative embodiments, the distributed-leader-election service may be implemented as a collection of library routines that run in the context of client processes.

In one implementation, efficient and robust processing methods are employed to process non-binomial results produced from single-factor tests. In a second implementation, robust and computationally efficient processing methods are employed to analyze non-binomial results from multi-factor/multi-level tests.

    Abstract: Systems and methods process standard video signal data and control a reflective display panel to brightly display videos and images in colors selected from a broad range of colors. In certain implementations, an input video/image signal is first transformed from a RGB encoding to an encoding based on a new color system that encodes colors using spectral, black, and white components. The reflective display panel includes an array of pixels, with each pixel comprising one or more self-parallelizing interferometric modulators (“SPIMs”). Each SPIM contains a plurality of electrodes disposed on a bottom plate, a fixed top plate, and a movable plate separated by a cavity. Appropriate voltages are applied to the electrodes to vary the cavity depth of the SPIM in order for the SPIM to reflect a color of a particular wavelength or to appear black or white.
