Patents by Inventor Cecilia M Procopiuc

Cecilia M Procopiuc has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Method and system for facility location optimization
    Patent number: 8788314
    Abstract: Systems and methods for optimization of facility locations are disclosed, for example, wireless telecommunications facility locations. Among a plurality of cluster points, corresponding to wireless customers, optimal locations are determined for a predetermined number of cluster centers, each cluster center having a predetermined cluster radius that defines a cluster area. Among a plurality of cluster points, optimal facility locations are determined for a variable number of cluster centers, each cluster center having a minimum acceptable economic value.
    Type: Grant

  • Methods and apparatus to anonymize a dataset of spatial data
    Patent number: 8627488
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed to anonymize a dataset of spatial data. An example method includes generating a spatial indexing structure with spatial data, establishing a height value associated with the spatial indexing structure to generate a plurality of tree nodes, each of the plurality of tree nodes associated with spatial data counts, calculating a localized noise budget value for respective ones of the tree nodes based on the height value and an overall noise budget, and anonymizing the plurality of tree nodes with a anonymization process, the anonymization process using the localized noise budget value for respective ones of the tree nodes.
