Abstract: A device to apply a digital fingerprint to a digital signal comprises a means of intercepting or acquiring a signal, a storage element and a processor for executing computer implemented program code components in the storage element to effect the methods. The methods include transforming a plurality of signal samples onto a discrete orthonormal basis and ranking the transformed samples according to their magnitude. The n largest principal components of the ranked transformed samples are optionally permuted to generate a re-ordered set of principal components, which are then altered by a marking angle. The marked principal components and unmarked non-principal components are converted and combined and applying an inverse of the transform function to the combined principal and non-principal components to generate a fingerprinted digital signal. Methods to prepare the signal for marking, recover the digital fingerprint and verify the distributor and/or recipients of the signal are also disclosed.

Abstract: A device for modulating communication signals comprises a transceiver for receiving and transmitting the signal, a storage medium storing computer implemented programme code components to generate sequences and a processor in communication with the storage medium and transceiver. The processor executes computer implemented programme code components to generate a family of shift sequences or arrays using exponential, logarithmic or index functions and a polynomial or a rational function polynomial in i?p?1 for a finite field p of prime p. Multiple columns of the arrays are substituted with pseudo-noise sequences or other suitable good correlation sequences in a cyclic shift equal to the shift sequence for the respective column to generate a substituted array. The substituted array, or a sequence unfolded using the CRT from the array when the array dimensions are relatively prime, is applied to a carrier wave of the communication signal to generate a modulated communication signal.

Abstract: A device for applying or extracting a digital watermark of two or more dimensions and a method of applying or extracting the digital watermark. The digital watermark is generated by adding a suitable number of watermarking arrays. Each watermarking array is constructed by convolving a multi-periodic shift array having a correlation bounded by a constant (two or greater) with a balanced periodic substitution sequence.

Abstract: Methods, systems and products are provided to quantitatively measure the degree of concordance between or among microarray probe level data sets. These can include the steps of evaluating outlier probe values, determine gene expression scores, evaluating the significant treatment effect for each gene expression score, and determining concordance between replicate data sets.

Abstract: A disposable air filter and grill assembly is disclosed which eliminates the undesirable need of cleaning conventional air filter grills. The assembly includes a frame which can be mounted within a grid of a drop ceiling or other opening loading to a space to be heated and/or cooled. The frame includes a plurality of clips to removably secure a disposable filter unit therein. The disposable filter unit includes an outer shell within which filter media is positioned. After the unit has been used a sufficiently long period of time and needs to changed, the clips can be disengaged, the disposable filter unit can be removed, and a new unit can be installed. Accordingly, as opposed to cleaning existing grills which often result in a less than properly maintained facility or an aesthetically undesirable facility, the apparatus disclosed herein provides an aesthetically pleasing, functional, and easily maintained system.
