Abstract: A multi-commodity system and method for calculating market dynamics in health network systems are disclosed. The system and method may incorporate a process that computes the influence of several transactional based entities within a business based health architecture. The system and method may: (1) calculate the diffusion of information theoretic data, (2) compute the influencers in each of the area of business driven health sectors and (3) optimize entity matching likelihoods across health network silos.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to parsing encrypted content and sending the encrypted content to appropriate stacks of components. Encrypted video content is sent to a video stack and encrypted audio content is sent to an audio stack. Components in either stack may or may not be able to decrypt the encrypted content. A common interface is provided to the components to pass encrypted content and encryption content with one another. Components not able to perform decryption pass on the encrypted content to succeeding components in the stack until a component capable of decrypting the encrypted content receives the encrypted content. Control from a hardware lawyer in a stack may be sent back through the stack using a secure link established by the common interfaces used by the components.

Abstract: Methods, microphones, and processors are provided for processing ambient sound waves. Ultrasound waves are combined with the sound waves to create heterodyned sound waves. The heterodyned sound waves are detected and, in response, a sound detection signal containing information relating to the heterodyned sound waves is generated. A heterodyned audio signal representing the heterodyned sound waves is generated at least partially based on the sound detection signal, and then an ambient sound signal representing the ambient sounds is derived from the heterodyned audio signal. Methods, microphones, and systems are provided for processing sound waves. The sound waves are detected with a portable device (such as a microphone) and an audio signal representing the sound waves is generated. A security layer is applied to the audio signal within the portable device (e.g., by encrypting the audio signal), so that only authorized entities may access the audio signal.

Abstract: Camera and methods are provided for watermarking film content. A watermark, which can have information, such as a tracking message, is generated. The watermark preferably can be represented as correlated noise that cannot be visually noticed by a casual observer of the film content, but can later be extracted from the film content to obtain the embedded information, e.g., during a forensics study in a piracy investigation, to provide end-to-end asset tracking and management, or to prevent viewing of the film content. The watermark is optically applied to the optical image to generate a watermarked optical image, e.g., by absorbing light from selected regions within the optical image. The optical image may optionally be analyzed, in which case, the watermark can be applied to the optical image based on the analysis. Lastly, the photographic film is exposed to the watermarked optical image, thereby capturing the optical image and watermark on film. Camera and methods are provided for modifying film content.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improving the signal to noise ratio for audio input in a computing system are provided. Signal to noise ratio improvements are enabled for an input audio signal by incorporating a plurality of microphones into the PC environment, for example, to improve the processing of voice or speech input or other audio capture applications. In various embodiments, a plurality of microphones are spaced apart, e.g., attached to or within a PC housing, in such a way that noise from PC components can be “subtracted” or reduced from an input audio signal, which increases the signal to noise ratio and improves audio processing accuracy. The “subtraction” or reduction techniques applied by the present invention are unique to the PC environment wherein different noises having particular characteristics can be identified, including, but not limited to, rattle of device components, fan noise and disk noise.

Abstract: Described herein is a technology facilitating circumvention of dynamic and robust detection of one or more embedded-signals (e.g., watermark, copyright notice, encoded data, etc.) in one or more input carrier signals (e.g., multimedia stream, video stream, audio stream, data, radio, etc.). This abstract itself is not intended to limit the scope of this patent. The scope of the present invention is pointed out in the appending claims.
