Method and system of managing and/or monitoring distributed computing based on geometric constraints
Patent number: 8949409Abstract: A method for managing distributed computing. The method comprises estimating, for each of a plurality of local computing nodes, a distribution of multidimensional values in a space. Each multidimensional value is calculated according to a plurality of locally monitored parameters. The method further includes calculating safe zones in the space where each safe zone is defined according to a respective estimated distribution under a global geometric constraint in the space and setting local geometric constraints for the local computing nodes according to the respective safe zones. Each local geometric constraint is defined such that a detection of at least one monitored multidimensional value violating it by a respective local computing node induces a communication event between the respective local computing node and one or more central computing nodes.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2010Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignees: Technion Research & Development Foundation Limited, Carmel-Haifa University Economic Corporation Ltd.Inventors: Assaf Schuster, Daniel Keren, Guy Sagy, Izchak Sherfman -

Publication number: 20140235663Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating acute suicidality by administration of buprenorphine are disclosed herein. An exemplary method is effected by administering to a subject determined as having acute suicidality a first therapeutically effective amount of buprenorphine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, whereby the administration is ceased once the subject is no longer determined as having acute suicidality. The first therapeutically effective amount is less than 0.2 mg per day. A higher therapeutically effective amount may optionally be administered if the subject is determined as not fully responsive to the first therapeutically effective amount. Unit dosage forms of buprenorphine, comprising less than 0.2 mg (e.g., 0.1 mg) buprenorphine are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2012Publication date: August 21, 2014Applicant: Carmel-Haifa University Economic Corporation Ltd.Inventor: Yoram Yovell

Publication number: 20120173538Abstract: The present invention is directed to systems and methods for fast and accurate structural representation and comparison of proteins. Specifically, the present invention provides a method for retrieval of a candidate set of near structural neighbors or structurally similar proteins of a query protein. The method is based on a representation of a protein structure as a “bag of words”—a collection of small disjoint backbone protein fragments. The representation allows quick comparison procedures of the query protein structure to a large number of known protein structures obtained for example, from a repository or database of proteins.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2010Publication date: July 5, 2012Applicant: CARMEL-HAIFA UNIVERSITY ECONOMIC CORPORATION LTD.Inventors: Inbal Tal, Yuval Nov, Rachel Kolodny

Patent number: 8186589Abstract: The present invention relates to a hierarchical system and method for task assignment (TA), coordination and communication of multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (DAV's) engaging multiple attack targets and conceives an ad-hoc routing algorithm for synchronization of target lists utilizing a distributed computing topology. Assuming limited communication bandwidth and range, coordination of UAV motion is achieved by implementing a simple behavioral flocking algorithm utilizing a tree topology for target list routing. The TA algorithm is based on a graph-theoretic approach, in which a node locates all the detectable targets, identifies them and computes its distance to each target. The node then produces an attack plan that minimizes the sum of distances of the UAV's in the subtree of a given node to the targets.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2007Date of Patent: May 29, 2012Assignees: Carmel-Haifa University Economic Corporation Ltd., Technion Research and Development Foundation Ltd.Inventors: Yosef Ben Asher, Sharoni Feldman, Pinchas Gurfil

Publication number: 20110217679Abstract: A diagnosis system and method comprising a handwriting data collection and analysis software and accompanying tools for diagnosing a given condition such as an illness, a mental illness, a physiological condition, a mental or emotional state, medication effect, a personality trait, a skill, an expertise, deception or truth writing. The handwriting of a control group known to have a condition is analyzed in order to determine the detectable characteristic indicators of that group. Such measured indicators comprise spatial, temporal and pressure measures for each writing stroke. The handwriting of a subject is then analyzed to determine if the measured indicators indicate statistically that the subject can be diagnosed with a condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2009Publication date: September 8, 2011Applicant: CARMEL-HAIFA UNIVERSITY ECONOMIC CORPORATION LTD.Inventor: Sara Rosenblum
