  • Power centroid radar
    Patent number: 10101445
    Abstract: A system for signal processing is provided that obviates the use of prior-knowledge, such as synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery, in time compressed signal processing (i.e. it can be knowledge unaided). The knowledge-unaided power centroid (PCKU) is found by evaluating a covariance matrix RSCM for its moments mi. Because RSCM uses a sample signal, rather than SAR data, the power centroid PCKU may be found without needing SAR data.

  • METHOD FOR DETERMINING LIFE EXPECTANCY
    Publication number: 20130090953
    Abstract: The subject matter disclosed pertains to a computer-implemented method for determining a life insurance premium. The premium is based on a theoretical adult lifespan (?theory—adult) calculated according to: ? theory_adult = ? ? ? ? ? ( M ? ? ? M ) 2 where, M is the mass of the adult, ?M is the nutritional consumption rate (e.g. mass of food per day) and ?? is a conversion factor for converting the product to years.
