Abstract: Example inventory management and monitoring systems are described. In one implementation, an inventory management system includes a computing system that receives multiple images captured by multiple imaging devices wirelessly coupled to the computing system. The computing system also receives a spatial location of each imaging device as determined by a device positioning system. The computing system is configured to determine a spatial location of an object in each of the multiple images and monitor the objects in the images to determine changes in the location of the objects.

Abstract: Example routing systems and methods are described. In one implementation, an apparatus includes a network interface, a secure system, and a routing system disposed between the network interface and the secure system. The routing system communicates with the network interface along a first data transmission channel and communicates with the secure system along a second data transmission channel. The secure system is not visible from the network interface. The routing system accesses data in the secure system and communicates the data to the network interface.

Abstract: Example communication systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a method receives a first chaotic sequence of a first temporal length, and a second chaotic sequence of a second temporal length. The method also receives a data symbol for communication to a destination. Based on the data symbol, the second chaotic sequence is temporally shifted and combined with the first chaotic sequence to generate a composite chaotic sequence. The first chaotic sequence functions as a reference chaotic sequence while the second chaotic sequence functions as a data-carrying auxiliary chaotic sequence.

Abstract: Example chaotic communication systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a method receives a portion of a chaotic waveform that has a temporal length. The method also receives a data signal for communication to a destination. A chaotic data signal is generated based on the received data signal. The chaotic data signal includes the chaotic waveform inserted at periodic intervals based on the temporal length of the chaotic waveform.

Abstract: A system, processing structure and method for performing vehicle intercept includes target acceleration estimation or blocking via a filter prior to deriving an interceptor acceleration time history via a guidance law. In the processing structure where the unknown target accelerations are blocked from affecting estimates, a guidance law is generated, stored and retrieved accounting for worst case target acceleration. In the processing structure where the target acceleration is presumed constant with a constant bank angle, the guidance law is closed form, exploiting constant heading angular velocity, and thus generated online.
