Abstract: The technology is based on subjecting the meat sample to an ultrasonic signal, of a specific frequency, and detects its reflected component. The detected signal will be analyzed using a fully developed and commercially available digital signal processing techniques to extracted ultrasonic parameters that can be directly related to elastic properties of the sample under investigation (piece of meat) and hence used to distinguish among the meats in question.

Abstract: A mechanism for estimating the traffic congestion is invented. The mechanism relies on information about the motion of cellular devices on roads. The existing information about the motion of cellular devices is used to estimate the motionability of upcoming traffic. The system can be used to issue traffic warnings, redirect traffic to non-congested routes and derive traffic statistics for research and development.

Abstract: We present a device for measuring levels and concentrations of sugar in objects that is suitable for food production and distribution industries. One of the key characteristics of the device is its ability to perform the measurement without destructing the product, and therefore, maintaining its quantity and quality. The technologies empowering the invention are the nondestructive ultrasonic sensing and the intelligent analysis of data collected. Ultrasonic waves are emitted towards the object from different directions, and the different reflections are collected and passed by for analysis. The analytic component analyses the signals, and with the use of advanced signal processing technologies, the signatures that represent the presence of sugar are extracted. These, combined with the measurement of the analyzed volume are used to find out the concentration and amount of sugar in the product.
