Abstract: A unified system, one or more methods, and one or more computer program products capable of automatically: (a) identifying the product or the product including the product attribute values requested in a user query; (b) identifying one or more retailers offering the product of interest; (c) identifying one or more qualifying offers; (c) authorizing, clearing, and settling a transaction in a unified system; (d) redeeming one or more qualifying offers; and/or (e) executing functions related to the product after purchase.

Abstract: A genetic processor is used to process a plurality of baseband signals in a communication system. Signals received at an antenna array are processed to form chromosomes based on signal-to-interference-and-noise ratios. The chromosomes are further processed to determine a fitness of the chromosomes, and a weight set corresponding to a determined best fitness level is used to selectively process each signal corresponding to each antennae of the array to increase the dynamic range of the receiver. In-phase, quadrature, amplitude and phase are signal characteristics that may be processed. In the transmit direction, the chromosomes are used to process the modulating signal supplied to each RF antenna, thus resulting in beamforming, the actual signal processing occurs digitally in the baseband spectrum. Chromosomes comprise a number of genes, or bits, based on the type of encoding scheme and the polarization, number and array grouping of antenna elements.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for increasing the capacity of SDMA and other systems that shape antenna beams by employing post-detection polarimetric beamsteering to synthesize not only an antenna pattern dedicated to a particular source, but also a polarization that more closely matches that of the source than under current systems. A first set of an antenna array are used having a plurality of antenna elements that receive electromagnetic signals from one or more sources. A second set of an antenna array, located with the first set, is polarized in an orthogonal arrangement to each element of the first set of antenna arrays. At least one receiver is configured to convert an RF input either directly to a baseband signal or indirectly through a first digital IF output and then to a baseband signal. At least one baseband signal processor, for processing baseband signals is provided.
