  • Publication number: 20130151970
    Abstract: A digital multimedia platform available to a plurality of collaborators of a video project through a networked computing system maps script information to a timeline, allowing contributions to be mapped to the timeline for inclusion in the project. One embodiment includes a tools module, an authentication module, a compilation module, and a script writing tool. The tools module enables editing of a multimedia project by collaborators. The authentication module assigns roles and privileges to collaborators. The compilation module receives files and information from collaborators to the multimedia project. The script writing tool implements edits to a script file associated with the multimedia project.

  • Publication number: 20120328037
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture make Geolocation of a source transmitter more difficult or impossible. Scatterers common to a source transmitter and an intended receiver are identified using a variety of techniques, such as iterative time reversal (ITR) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) of a scatter matrix. The source transmitter then uses time reversal and knowledge of the signatures of the scatterers to focus its transmissions on one or more of the scatterers, instead of the intended receiver. The source transmitter may have multiple antennas or antenna elements. The source transmitter and/or the intended receiver may include antenna elements with Near-Field Scatterers to enable spatial focusing below the diffraction limit at the frequencies of interest. The source transmitter may be a plurality of ad hoc nodes cooperating with each other.

  • Patent number: 8299967
    Abstract: Antennas for wireless communications based on metamaterial (MTM) structures to arrange one or more antenna sections of an MTM antenna away from one or more other antenna sections of the same MTM antenna so that the antenna sections of the MTM antenna are spatially distributed in a non-planar configuration to provide a compact structure adapted to fit to an allocated space or volume of a wireless communication device, such as a portable wireless communication device.

  • Patent number: 8294533
    Abstract: Techniques, apparatus and systems that use composite left and right handed (CRLH) metamaterial structures to combine and divide electromagnetic signals at multiple frequencies. The metamaterial properties permit significant size reduction over a conventional N-way radial power combiner or divider. Dual-band serial power combiners and dividers and single-band and dual-band radial power combiners and dividers are described.

  • Publication number: 20120263056
    Abstract: Selected embodiments are directed to methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture for wireless radio frequency communications. Adjacent antenna array elements of a receiver antenna array are separated by less than the diffraction limit of the radio frequency communication band in which the apparatus and methods operate. A plurality or multiplicity of near-field scatterers are asymmetrically placed in the immediate vicinity of each of the antenna array elements, to perturb the pattern of each of the antenna elements, making the patterns different even below diffraction limit spacing. A transmitter spatially and temporally focuses simultaneous transmissions on each of the antenna array elements, using time reversal communication techniques. The transmitter may transmit through multiple antenna elements, and the channel from the transmitter to the receiver may be subject to multipath phenomena.
