Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for object discovery and object mapping through an application with a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Objects are discovered through an object recommendation channel and through user input of key words and/or key phrases. Each object includes an Intensity of Interest (IoI), which is a relative preference for an object reflected by relative size in the object map. Additionally, the object map provides a visual display which indicates relationships among objects.

Abstract: A low power device has a Bluetooth connection and a WLAN interface that can be enabled for high speed communication. The low power device is coupled to an application program running on a remote computer such as a tablet over Bluetooth. When a large amount of data is requested, the high speed WLAN interface is enabled as an Access Point (AP) and data transmitted or received over the low power device AP WLAN interface until the block of data is transferred, after which the WLAN connection is torn down, and the WLAN interface disabled. In this manner, the power consumption during high speed data transfers is minimized.

Abstract: A power saving wire-free earpiece has a Bluetooth transceiver and a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) transceiver. A stream of audio from a remote source is separated into a local audio stream and a stream sent to the BLE transceiver for a remote earpiece. The earpiece is operative in a first and second mode, the first mode enabling the BT transceiver and BLE transceiver, the second mode enabling only the BLE transceiver for receiving remote streams of data. The first and second mode alternate so that the local and remote earpiece have substantially uniform current requirements.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing signals by signal owners. Signals are indicators of data that are derived from data sources and abstracted to protect the underlying data. The signal owner first converts its own underlying data into a “signal” or indicator that represents the data without disclosing it or providing it. Signal sellers determine if they wants share signals based upon buyer, price, and other rules, including limitations on signal use. Signal buyers determine signal value based upon their objectives.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for object identifier translation using a key pairs platform in a virtualized or cloud-based computing system. A key pair refers to a pair of identifiers held by an entity. Each key pair includes at least one anonymized object identifier. Advantageously, the key pair system protects privacy and provides anonymity for objects by not disclosing the identity of the objects or the underlying data associated with the objects.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing an automated virtualized signal marketplace or exchange for signals from distributed data sources for use in advertising. Systems and methods to automatically discover and recommend which of the signals controlled by multiple entities may be most effective toward a given objective associated with advertising campaigns. Signals are indicators of data that are derived from data sources and abstracted to protect the underlying data. Each entity that sells data in the virtual marketplace first converts data into a “signal” or indicator that represents the data without disclosing it or providing it. Signal sellers determine if they want share signals based upon buyer, price, and other rules, including limitations on signal use; signal buyers determine signal value based upon their objectives.

Abstract: A traffic radar system comprises a first radar transceiver assembly, a second radar transceiver assembly, a display, and a processing element. The first radar transceiver assembly transmits and receives radar beams and generates a first electronic signal corresponding to the received radar beam. The second radar transceiver assembly transmits and receives radar beams and generates a second electronic signal corresponding to the received radar beam. The display displays a plurality of speeds, each speed being a speed of a target vehicle. The processing element is configured to receive the first and second electronic signals, process the first electronic signal to determine speeds of target vehicles in the front zone, process the second electronic signal to determine speeds of target vehicles in the rear zone, and control the display to display the speeds of target vehicles in the front zone or target vehicles in the rear zone based on predetermined parameters.

Abstract: A periodic output generator has a first clock source coupled to a first counter and a second clock source with a frequency greater than the first clock source, the second clock source coupled to a second counter, the first clock source operating continuously, the second clock source enabled when the first clock source reaches a count C1. The second clock source generates an output when a count C2 is reached, and the counters are reset and the process repeats. In another example, a timestamp generator has a high speed clock and a real time clock operative on a low speed clock. The timestamp generator receives an external event, turns on the high speed clock generator and counts high speed clock cycles C until the arrival of the next time stamp, and computes an event timestamp as the next timestamp less c/f, less the startup time of the high speed clock.

A memory for the communications processor has a high speed segment and a low speed segment, the high speed segment and low speed segment respectively on a high speed data bus and a low speed data bus, the high speed data bus and low speed data bus coupled by a bidirectional bridge.

Abstract: A neurotrophic electrode system includes a non-conductive cone, a multi-channel electrode assembly, a dielectric ribbon and a neurite-attracting substance disposed within the cone. The non-conductive cone consists essentially of a material that is stable in a neural environment and defines a cavity. The cavity opens to a small opening at a first end of the cone and opens to a large opening at a second end of the cone that is opposite the first end. The multi-channel electrode assembly includes at least two recording sites that are disposed within the cavity defined by the cone. Each recording site is coupled to a wire that extends out of the large end of the cone. Each wire ends in a connection pad. The dielectric ribbon encases all of the wires but exposes each recording site and exposes each connection pad.

Abstract: A system and method using a real-time data stream to make recommendations to users also predicts the future state of that data. If the data is interrupted or becomes unreliable, the predictions are used to make the recommendations in question.
