Abstract: A Grid application framework uses semantic languages to describe the tasks and resources used to complete them. A Grid application execution framework comprises a plurality of mobile agents operable to execute one or more tasks described in an intent based task specification language, Input/Output circuitry operable to receive input that describes a task in the task specification language, an analysis engine for generating a solution to the described task, and an intent knowledge base operable to store information contained within tasks of the plurality of mobile agents.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a non-invasive system with diagnostic and treatment capacities that use a unified code that is intrinsic to physiological brain function. In an embodiment of the present invention, an approach to the treatment of disorders that supplements existing diagnostic and treatment methods with robust quantitative data analysis are presented. This is achieved by a unification of cognitive and neural phenomena known as the Fundamental Code Unit (FCU), representing identifiable patterns of brain activity at the submolecular, molecular, and cellular levels (intra-brain communications), as well as their manifestations in thought and language (inter-brain communications).

Abstract: Input devices such as satellites, field sensors, electronic pads, cellular phones, and/or radio transmitters communicate information representing queries, reports, and/or instructions to an intention determination system that is accessible by a user interface with a display. The intention determination system includes an input module for processing the information received from the input devices; a language converter for converting the information from a natural language format to a restructured form in a position-based format; a database system for storing the received information, the restructured information, and reference information; and a rule-based analyzer for periodically retrieving and processing the stored information. The analyzer sends an alert to the user interface to notify the user if execution of one the instructions creates a potential conflict with the other stored information.

Abstract: The system provides predictive error-checking and conflict resolution by comparing data contained in cognitive artifacts such as orders/instructions and reports against one another and against existing domain-specific databases, procedural and conceptual models, reasoning schemes, (in military domain specific applications, that would be terrain, weather, equipment, artillery, logistics, rules of engagement, field manuals, military doctrine, models of war games, etc) to determine their validity and effectiveness. Possible situations, states, or conditions arising from inferred actors' intent are recognized through expert systems analysis and trigger information exchanges. The system further advance Intention Awareness by enabling users to view information corresponding to the applicable environment obtained from external application systems across interoperability bridge. Through its graphical user interface the system allow users to graphically visualize and communicate their intent.

Abstract: The model treats individual expression in terms of negative or positive reflection of the state of mind on the world, and captures the full range of moods and cognitive states by computationally modeling the notions of ‘mind axiology’ and ‘emotional state’.

Abstract: Devices, methods and systems for affecting living tissues (brain, spinal stem) by neuronal querying, decoding responses, determining signaling patterns for direct delivery of a range of signals to the neural tissue in order to induce specific cell behaviors through intrusive and non-intrusive methods.

Abstract: A wireless network is provided having a plurality of intermediate devices that can be dynamically added and removed from the wireless network. Each of the intermediate devices includes a transceiver operable to reproduce a signal and transmit the reproduced signal. At least one intermediate device in the plurality of intermediate devices is in motion while a part of the wireless network. A source device is operable to transmit a signal to at least one intermediate device and a destination device is operable to receive a reproduced signal from at least one of the intermediate devices without using a wireless tower. A routing path is transmitted from the source device along with the signal specifying the path that the signal is to travel.

Abstract: The present invention provides a cost effective way to expand wireless networks by WSPs that also provides other benefits besides increased bandwidth.

A system for dispensing a product into an inflation port of a tire includes: a container having the product pressurized therein, and a valve selectively permitting and preventing flow of the product from the container; and a conduit assembly including a flexible conduit extending between a container connector and a port connector, the container connector being configured for connection to the container for flow of the product from the container into the conduit, and the port connector being configured for connection to the inflation port for flow of the product from the conduit into the tire.

Abstract: A wireless network for transferring data signals throughout a geographical area without using cellular towers is described. The network transfers a signal from a source device to a destination device positioned remotely from the source device by passing the signal through a plurality of intermediate devices. The network includes a host of intermediate transceivers associated with the intermediate devices. These transceivers are individually operable for reproducing the signal and transmitting the reproduced signal through the intermediate devices until the reproduced signal reaches the destination device. A source transceiver associated with the source device is operable for transmitting the signal to at least one of the intermediate device. A destination transceiver is associated with the source device and is operable for receiving the reproduced signal from at least one intermediate device.
