  • Publication number: 20190104105
    Abstract: Systems (100) and methods (600) for enabling communications between a Private Network Resource (“PNR”) and a first Radio Network Resource (“RNR”). The methods comprise: performing first operations by the PNR to generate a first packet with a header including a first Private Address (“PA”) for the PNR and a first Effective PA (“EPA”) for the first RNR; communicating the first packet from the PNR to a second RNR via first private network; performing second operations at the second RNR to parse the first PA and the first RNR from the first packet's header, and translate the first PA into a first Radio Address (“RA”) and the first EPA into a second RA; generating a second packet by modifying the first packet's header to include the first and second RAs; and communicating the second packet to the first RNR via radio network.

  • Patent number: 8712927
    Abstract: A method of parameter adaptation is used to modify the parameters of a model to improve model performance. The model separately estimates the contribution of each model parameter to the prediction error. It achieves this by transforming to the time-scale plane the vectors of output sensitivities with respect to model parameters and then identifying the regions within the time-scale plane at which the dynamic effect of individual model parameters is dominant on the output. The method then attributes the prediction error in these regions to the deviation of a single parameter from its true value as the basis of estimating individual parametric errors. The proposed Parameter Signature Isolation Method (PARSIM) then uses these estimates to adapt individual model parameters independently of the others, implementing, in effect, concurrent adaptation of individual parameters by the Newton-Raphson method in the time-scale plane.

  • Patent number: 7614036
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and tangible medium for creating and executing a computer dataflow. A plurality of components is defined, each representing a computer-implemented computational process that is performed on one or more inputs and that generates one or more outputs. A graphical user interface is provided allowing a user to visually create the computer dataflow on a user display by selecting from a library of components, connecting the component's input terminals with output terminals. The input terminals graphically correspond to inputs to the component's predefined computational algorithm and the output terminals graphically correspond to outputs generated by the component's predefined computational algorithm. Without user intervention, the plurality of said selected components is distributed for execution across a plurality of machines and automatically executes upon receiving a minimum number of inputs.

  • Publication number: 20080033986
    Abstract: Audio streams are captured and simultaneously indexed in real time from a plurality of audio sources. The captured audio streams and index data of the captured audio streams from the plurality of audio sources are then stored. The storing process operates by temporarily storing the most recently captured audio streams, temporarily storing index data of the most recently captured audio streams, and then periodically loading the temporarily stored audio streams into permanently stored audio streams and periodically loading the temporarily stored index data into the permanently stored index data. A search and media distribution system is connected to the temporarily stored audio streams and the temporarily stored index data for allowing real time search and retrieval access to the captured audio streams.

  • Publication number: 20050160398
    Abstract: A method for creating and executing a computer workflow using a graphical user interface. A plurality of executable components is defined wherein the executable components are based on an input, an output, metadata and a sub-interpreter. Each of the executable components represents a computer-implemented computational process that is performed on one or more inputs to the executable component and that generates one or more outputs based on a predefined computational algorithm. A graphical user interface is defined that allows a user to visually create the computer workflow on a user display by selecting from a library of said executable components. The user graphically connects one or more input terminals of selected executable components with one or more output terminals of second selected executable components.
