  • Patent number: 9768874
    Abstract: Systems and methods for autonomous signal modulation format identification are disclosed. In an example embodiment of the disclosed technology, a method includes mapping an input signal to Stokes space to generate a representation of the input signal in three-dimensional space. The method may further include determining the dimension of the representation and, based on the dimension, selecting a subset of modulation from a plurality of mutually exclusive subsets of modulation formats. Further, the method may include defining a cost function for identifying the modulation format from the selected subset and evaluating the cost function to identify the modulation format.

  • Publication number: 20170132719
    Abstract: A system for generating a flexible business-to-business virtual subaccount structure for a primary account. A dashboard server receives information of a primary account and generates a GUI to a user for monitoring expenditures. The dashboard server receives input from the user for creating two or more virtual subaccounts of the primary account. Information of the virtual subaccounts is stored in an account record database. The GUI displays information from the virtual subaccounts. The dashboard server monitors the virtual subaccounts based on rules established or assigned by the user. The dashboard server provides alerts to the user if any threshold of the rules is met or exceeded and may disable the virtual subaccounts if permitted.

  • Patent number: 9607040
    Abstract: A method for managing tags in a tag cloud may include receiving a tag for an object and comparing the tag to existing tags for the object. The comparing may include determining if there is a relationship between the tag and any of the existing tags. The method may also include adding the tag to the tag cloud in response to there being no relationship between the tag and any of the existing tags. The method may additionally include selecting one tag of the existing tags in response to the tag and the one tag being related tags. The method may further include presenting the related tags in the tag cloud. Presenting the related tags in the tag cloud may include at least one of modifying the one tag in the tag cloud, indicating the tags are related, and combining the related tags into a single tag.

  • Publication number: 20170044479
    Abstract: Cell-culture devices and methods for determining the integrity of cell-cell adhesion are described. A cell culture device includes a channel-defining body that defines a plurality of channels in a cell-culture dish and a removable mask located above the channel-defining body. Channels of the cell-culture dish can be seeded and maintained under conditions in which a cell sheet can be formed in each of the channels. The mask defines test regions of cell sheets when cell sheets are present within the channels. A cell-substrate cleaving solution can be applied to the test regions to lift the cell sheet in the test region, causing the inherent tension due to cell spreading to be borne solely by the cell-cell junctions, such that the integrity of the cell sheets can be observed. The tension in the lifted cell sheet can be controlled by controlling the vertical design width of the channel on either side of the constriction included in the test region.
