  • Patent number: 9563653
    Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment, a method of processing non-transitory binary signal quantities using a computing device is disclosed. For example, a computing device transforms between at least first and at least second non-transitory stored binary digital signal quantities respectively representing at least a first and at least a second expression. The represented expressions have a common view for non-common expression types and have a non-common view for common expression types of said represented expressions. The represented expressions include at least one of the following expression types: a hierarchical edge and/or node labeled tree or a symbol string.

  • Patent number: 8650201
    Abstract: Embodiments of a method and/or system of transmitting and/or receiving data is disclosed. For example, a sequence of binary signal values may, in one embodiment, represent a sequence of trees, such as unitary trees. A variety of techniques exist for transmitting and/or receiving signal data. However, such techniques typically have several disadvantages, including, a limit on the size of the signal datum that may be transmitted and/or received, such as 32 or 64 bits, for example. Another disadvantage includes the difficulty of synchronization between a receiver and transmitter. Thus, new methods and/or systems for receiving and/or transmitting signal data continue to be desirable, such as those disclosed.
