  • Patent number: 11706184
    Abstract: A method for space time region based communications in a data communication network is disclosed. The method includes performing an initial assignment of bubble data, the bubble data including a bubble spatio temporal information data representing a volume of space time, the bubble data further including a content data thereby assigned to the spatio temporal information data; providing a spatio temporal coordinate data associated with at least one user of the data communication network, determining if the spatio temporal coordinate data is deemed to be within the volume of space time represented by the bubble spatio temporal information data, and granting access to the content data to the at least one user of the data communication network if the spatio temporal coordinate data is determined to be deemed to be within the volume of space time represented by the bubble spatio temporal information data.

  • Publication number: 20220028074
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for identification and quantification of a number of different materials within an object using one or more multi-energy CT imaging devices and the image data sets produced therefrom. Identification and quantification of different materials is achieved by using the following three properties: solve only for sparse solutions; separate the soft tissue problem from the dense material problem; and use a combinatorial approach to allow for simple application of different constraints to different combinations of materials. Also disclosed are one or more computer program products, computer systems or computer implemented methods for the identification of multiple materials within an object.

  • Patent number: 11140120
    Abstract: There is disclosed an apparatus including a node with a processor, a communications interface, and a computer readable memory that has other and a space time modules that enable space time region based communication if space time region based criteria are met. There is disclosed a method with steps of: providing an interface; determining if a space time region based criteria is met; and enabling communication over the interface if the space time region based criteria is met. There is disclosed a user interface method having the steps of: providing a view that controls objects representing a spatio temporal information related to a space time based communication rendered on the interface; and displaying information on the user interface in relation to the space time region based communication if a space time region based criteria are met.
