Abstract: A genetic algorithm (GA) in combination with a random decision forest can be used to identify a feature subset related to an observed incident. The GA is used to select feature subsets for which data samples are obtained to train and test random decision forests per individual feature subset (“individual”) with respect to an observed incident. For each generation of a GA run, fitness values of the individuals are determined based on the testing of the corresponding random decision forest. At termination of the GA run, an individual representing a feature subset is identified as likely most related to the observed incident. The trained random decision forest corresponding to the individual or a subset of the trained random decision forest is used to predict or classify whether live values of the fittest feature subset indicate the observed incident.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a sensor circuit and a wireless communication interface. The sensor circuit may periodically sense a value for a particular environmental variable. The wireless communication interface may update a dynamic address for the apparatus based on the periodically sensed value, and receive a query from a base station. The query may include a conditional address corresponding to the particular environmental variable. In response to a first comparison of the conditional address to a current dynamic address, the wireless communication interface may send a reply to the base station indicating whether the query has matched for the apparatus. The reply to the query may be performed without requesting a reading of the particular environmental variable from the sensor circuit.

Abstract: A method of enabling a first wireless information device to access absolute location data in which the first wireless information device does not possess its own absolute location finding system but is instead able to receive, over a wireless network, absolute location data from a second wireless information device that does have its own absolute location finding system. The present invention hence enables wireless information devices to share absolute location data: for example, a mobile telephone with GPS capability can be used as a local “beacon” to broadcast its absolute location to any nearby devices over a personal area wireless network (e.g. a Bluetooth network) so that those nearby devices can use that location data. Hence, a camera with no location finding system of its own could obtain location data from a nearby GPS equipped mobile telephone over a Bluetooth PAN and watermark its images with location data.

Abstract: Imaging, testing and/or analysis of subjects are facilitated with a capillary-access approach. According to an example embodiment, a capillary is implanted into a specimen and adapted to accept an optical probe to facilitate optical access into the specimen. In some applications, the capillary is implanted for use over time, with one or more different probes being inserted into the capillary at different times, while the capillary is implanted. Certain applications involve capillary implantation over weeks, months or longer. Other applications are directed to the passage of fluid to and/or from a sample via the capillary. Still other applications are directed to the passage of electrical information between the sample and an external arrangement, via an implanted capillary.

Abstract: A system for managing application performance performs a learning phase and a monitoring phase. One embodiment of the learning phase comprises monitoring performance of multiple components of a software system to create first monitored component data for the multiple components and automatically identifying correlation between the components and a performance metric based on the first monitored data. The monitoring phase comprises monitoring performance of the multiple components of the software system to create second monitored component data for the multiple components, using the identified correlation to predict the performance metric, calculating the actual performance metric based on the second monitored component data, and reporting a performance problem if the actual performance metric differs from the predicted performance metric by more than a threshold.
