Abstract: An automated system profiles personnel, organizational behavior, etc., of entities associated with intellectual property rights proceedings and challenges. By analyzing rules and events associated with such organizations (Patent & Trademark Office, Board of Appeals, District/Appellate Courts, etc.) more accurate assessments can be made of the merits and potential outcomes of IP proceedings. Ratings can be calculated and assigned for individuals, entities, representatives, cases, etc., as part of the assessment.

Abstract: A distributed sequential method and system for detecting and identifying radioactive contraband from highly uncertain (noisy) low-count, radionuclide measurements, i.e. an event mode sequence (EMS), using a statistical approach based on Bayesian inference and physics-model-based signal processing based on the representation of a radionuclide as a monoenergetic decomposition of monoenergetic sources. For a given photon event of the EMS, the appropriate monoenergy processing channel is determined using a confidence interval condition-based discriminator for the energy amplitude and interarrival time and parameter estimates are used to update a measured probability density function estimate for a target radionuclide.

For a given photon event of the EMS, the appropriate monoenergy processing channel is determined using a confidence interval condition-based discriminator for the energy amplitude and interarrival time. If accepted the parameter values of the photon event are used to update the parameter values using an LKF for the energy amplitude and a bootstrap PF for the interarrival times. These parameter estimates are then used to update a measured probability density function estimate for a target radionuclide.

Abstract: A system of transmitting a signal through a channel medium comprises digitizing the signal, time-reversing the digitized signal, and transmitting the signal through the channel medium. The channel medium may be air, earth, water, tissue, metal, and/or non-metal.
