  • Methods for analyzing streaming composite waveforms
    Patent number: 8032319
    Abstract: Methods for signal processing employ instantaneous frequency analysis through quadrature genometric measurement of streaming signal data. Such methods may include the analysis of any composite analog periodic signal, including but not limited to audio, video, radio, seismic, light, radar, sonar, EKG, where signal data is streaming, stationary or non-stationary, and represents either linear or non-linear processes.

  • Method and apparatus for signal classification using a multilayer network
    Patent number: 6208963
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for signal classification using a multilayer temporal relaxation network involves receiving an input signal feature vector, classifying a first signal feature, and classifying a second signal feature using contextual information. The multilayer temporal relaxation network applies a relaxation process that updates an activation value of a node in a first layer and updates an activation value of a node in a second layer. The multilayer network then generates a signal classification according to an activation value of a node in the multilayer network.
