Abstract: The present invention relates to use an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) to record the acceleration trajectory of a person's gait or pen-less handwriting motion or any predesignated gestures, and to convert the data to a unique biometric pattern. The pattern is unique for each case and can be used as biometric security authentication.

Abstract: This invention is a system and method for a high-performance Diameter Routing Agent (DRA) platform with a three-tier architecture. The DRA platform consists of a Diameter Connection Router (DCR), a Diameter Load Balancer (DLB), and multiple DRA Instances. DCR is a front-end to all external Peers and distributes Diameter connections to a DLB. DLB is a Diameter transaction load balancer and distributes individual Diameter transaction to a DRA. DRA is a Diameter Routing Agent to implement business logic to determine routing of an incoming request to a destination peer as well as message mediation. A public Internet Protocol (IP) address of the DCR is exposed to the external peers as a single point of contact between the peers and the computer network, wherein an internal topology of the computer network remains hidden from the peers.

Abstract: This invention is a system and method for an interworking function that handles communications between Rich Communication Services (RCS) Pre-Universal Profile (Pre-UP) and Universal Profile (UP) clients, and their Controlling Function and Participating Function service points. The interworking function supports the interworking for Pre-UP and UP clients in the following scenarios: 1) CPM Standalone Messaging and CPM 1-to-1 Chat, 2) CPM Chat and IM/SIMPLE Chat, 3) File Transfer by MSRP and File Transfer by HTTP, and 4) Open Group Chat and Closed Group Chat. The interworking function performs the necessary SIP message conversation and/or headers and message bodies manipulation, acts as MSRP client and server, acts as a HTTP server to store file for file transfer interworking, and acts as message proxy for Controlling Function and Participating Function.

Abstract: This invention provides a non-invasive method for diagnosing performance of a vehicle. The method comprises using a 3-axis accelerometer to perform diagnosis of the performance of an internal combustion engine, the performance of the engine including an engine power loss and one or more flaws associated with the engine mount. The method is also usable for diagnosing deterioration of a suspension system of said vehicle. An apparatus comprising a 3-axis accelerometer for diagnosing performance of a vehicle is also provided. In one embodiment, the 3-axis accelerometer is embedded in a smart phone.

Abstract: A process for packaging and sealing a microscopic structure device is provided. The process for the present invention includes the steps of depositing a capping layer of sacrificial material patterned by lithography over the microscopic structure supported on a substrate, depositing a support layer of a dielectric material patterned by lithography over the capping layer, providing a plurality of vias through the support layer by lithography, removing the capping layer via wet etching to leave the support layer intact in the form of a shell having a cavity occupied by the microscopic structure, depositing a layer of meltable material over the capping layer that is thick enough to provide a barrier against gas permeation, but thin enough to leave the vias open, and selectively applying a laser beam to the meltable material proximate each via for a sufficient period of time to melt the material for sealing the via.

Abstract: A process for hermetically packaging a microscopic structure including a MEMS device is provided. The process for the present invention includes the steps of depositing a capping layer of sacrificial material patterned by lithography over the microscopic structure supported on a substrate, depositing a support layer of a dielectric material patterned by lithography over the capping layer, providing a plurality of vias through the support layer by lithography, removing the capping layer via wet etching to leave the support layer intact in the form of a shell having a cavity occupied by the microscopic structure, depositing a metal layer over the capping layer that is thick enough to provide a barrier against gas permeation, but thin enough to leave the vias open, and selectively applying under high vacuum a laser beam to the metal proximate each via for a sufficient period of time to melt the metal for sealing the via.

Abstract: A wireless cooking thermometer consisting of a transmitter unit and a receiver unit. The transmitter unit senses the cooking temperature of food item and periodically transmits the temperature as an RF signal to the receiver unit. The receiver unit compares the current food temperature to preprogrammed values representative of different levels of doneness and provides visual and audible alerts when the food temperature reaches one level of doneness below the selected level, when the food reaches the selected level of doneness, and again when the food reaches an overcooked level. A display on the receiver unit has an ascending bar graph to visually depict the progress of cooking through the various cooking levels. The display also has indicia to display the type of meat selected, the current temperature of the sensing probe, the temperature corresponding to the selected level of doneness and an overcook indicator.
