Abstract: Wavelet filters computed from a wavelet transform are used for encoding, transmitting, receiving, and decoding spread spectrum signals on multiple parallel frequency channels. The transmitter encodes the data stream via a mapping to a basis set of wavelets which are orthogonal across the time domain. The spread spectrum data is parsed from a serial bit stream to several parallel streams. The number of bits per symbol need not remain constant. Signals are created from each symbol by first up sampling by inserting zeros between successive symbols. These signals are passed through a bank of low-pass and high-pass filters derived from a wavelet packet transform. The resulting signal is transmitted in the base band of the transmission system, or transmitted by modulating the carrier of the transmission system. At the receiver, the steps are reversed to recover the symbols. Symbol decisions are made through any one of a number of methods.

Abstract: A method for inverting telecommunication channel distortion by adaptive wavelet lifting. The distortion signal is analyzed using wavelet lifting and the inverse filter is computed. Coefficients of the inverse filter are used to either compute a transmission pre-filter or to update the transmitted message.

Abstract: A method for encoding, transmitting, and receiving signals utilizes adaptive wavelet packet trees. A transmitter accepts a binary data stream assumed to be random. At the transmitter the data is parsed from a serial bit stream into several parallel streams. Within each of the parallel bit streams symbols are formed from the bits. Signals are created from each symbol by up-sampling. These signals modulate low-pass and high-pass filters that are derived from a wavelet packet transform (the wavelet and scaling functions, or, equivalently the low-pass and high-pass analysis filters). The filters are paired—one high-pass with one low-pass. The steps recited above are recursively repeated log2 N times for a signal of length N. The resulting signal is transmitted to the receiver. At the receiver, the steps recited above are reversed at the receiver to recover symbols, with the up-sampled signal down-sampled to remove inserted zeroes.

Abstract: An apparatus and method is disclosed for establishing a one-time cryptographic pad between a communicating pair, a communicating pair comprising a pair of transmitter-receivers, each of the pair having a plurality of cryptographic devices in common. The communicating pair also store previously exchanged messages and transmissions, a transmission comprising secure data exchanged by the pair that is independent of message content. The first transmitter-receiver randomly selects a cryptographic device and a previous transmission or message that has been sent to the second transmitter-receiver. The first transmitter-receiver also randomly selects a reference to a message or transmission previously sent by the second transmitter-receiver. The first transmitter-receiver encrypts the previously sent transmission or message and the reference to the message or transmission previously sent by the second transmitter-receiver and sends to the second transmitter-receiver.

Abstract: A steam generation device comprising two cylinders, an inner and an outer cylinder, the inner cylinder forming a combustion chamber into which streams of air, water and fuel are released under computer control. Water is introduced under pressure into the plenum formed by the inner and outer cylinder and exits into the combustion chamber top holes drilled at an angle into the inner cylinder. Using a model of the combustion process and the flame's gas envelope pressure, the computer maintains combustion and steam production without extinguishing the flame, in response to demands for differing quantities of steam volume, temperature and pressure.
