  • Patent number: 12316352
    Abstract: A system and method for concurrent encryption and lossless compression of data with an algorithm executing on a computer platform. The lossless compression component of the algorithm consists of preprocessing the data with a Burrows-Wheeler transformation followed by an inversion ranking transformation in advance of employing an entropy coder, such as binary arithmetic coder. The frequency vector of the Inversion Ranking transformation is then encrypted and transmitted along with the compressed data with only the frequency vector encrypted. Since the frequency vector is required for decompression, no further encryption of the compressed data is necessary to secure the compressed file.

  • Patent number: 12300033
    Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying persons utilizing a camera and a wireless transceiver. The wireless transceiver receives wireless packets (e.g., Wi-Fi packets) from one or more mobile devices associated with one or more persons. The channel state information (CSI) is determined based on signals associated with the packets, and first motion characteristics are determined based on the CSI data. Congruently, the camera generates images, and associated image data is received, wherein the image data is associated with the one or more persons. Second motion characteristics are determined based on the image data. The first motion characteristics are matched with the second motion characteristics along with a quantified uncertainty, and the matched motion characteristics are assigned with weights that are based on the second motion characteristics (e.g., image-based). The one or more persons are identified based on the matched motion characteristics and the weights.

  • Patent number: 12285437
    Abstract: A pre-prodrug, comprising a drug, e.g., doxorubicin, which has off-target toxicity (e.g., cardiotoxicity) with respect to its antineoplastic activity, and an amine functionality of the drug incorporated into a disubstituted maleimide (DMI). The pre-prodrug may be linked to a targeting or de-targeting agent or a polar modulator, e.g., charged ligand, amino acid, peptide, etc., to increase therapeutic index. The pre-prodrug is hydrolyzed to the prodrug, having a disubstituted maleamic acid (DMA). A polar modulator such as glutamic acid prevents cellular uptake of the prodrug, but not the doxorubicin drug released from the prodrug after dissociation. The prodrug is pH sensitive, and below pH 7.0, tends to cleave to form free drug and cyclized maleic anhydride. Tumor environments tend to be more acidic, e.g., pH 6.8, than cardiac tissue, e.g., pH 7.4, and therefore the heart is spared while the drug is selectively released within a tumor.

  • Patent number: 12269071
    Abstract: Systems and methods for self-cleaning a surface of an object where an electrodynamic shield is mounted to a surface of the object. The electrodynamic shield includes one or more sets of electrodes atop a substrate, at least one or more sets of electrodes being covered in a protective film. A coating is applied to the top surface of the protection film. A signal pulse generator is connected to the one or more sets of electrodes. The signal pulse generator generates a pulse signal that causes the one or more sets of electrodes to generate an electric field. The pulse signal comprises a plurality of different pulse signals which have phase differences between consecutive signals, and the electric field causes a particle atop the coating to experience an electrostatic force and be repelled away from the coating. These pulse signals (including shapes, amplitudes, shifts, and frequencies) can be tuned to increase efficiency of removal depending on dust type and relative humidity.
