  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR UTILIZING GRAVITATIONAL WAVES FOR GEOLOGICAL EXPLORATION
    Publication number: 20240077639
    Abstract: A system, method, and platform for detecting natural resources. Gravitational waves are measured utilizing one or more sensor systems associated with an exploration area. The one or more sensor systems include at least an accelerometer capturing measurements in a range of 1 microhertz to 100 microhertz that are stored in a memory associated with the accelerometer. A fast fourier transform is performed for the measurements to generate processed signals. Natural resources are determined proximate the one or more sensor systems from the processed signals.

  • Identification of bacteria and spores
    Publication number: 20070003996
    Abstract: Bacteria can be identified by analyzing a data stream that is obtained by processing a sample containing the bacteria, where the data stream has been abstracted to produce a sample vector that characterizes the data stream in a predetermined vector space containing at least one diagnostic cluster, the diagnostic cluster being associated with bacteria of known type, and by determining whether the sample vector rests with the diagnostic cluster, and if the sample rests within the diagnostic cluster, an indication that the bacteria are of the known type can be provided.
