Publication number: 20090309614Abstract: Techniques are used to detect and identify analytes. Techniques are used to fabricate and manufacture sensors to detect analytes. An analyte (810) is sensed by sensors (820) that output electrical signals in response to the analyte. The electrical signals may be preprocessed (830) by filtering and amplification. In one embodiment, a plurality of sensors are formed on a single integrated circuit. The sensors may have diverse compositions.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2009Publication date: December 17, 2009Inventors: Rodney M. Goodman, Nathan S. Lewis, Robert H.

Patent number: 7046851Abstract: The present invention provides an image and video indexing scheme for content analysis. According to the invention, a database of images or videos is compressed. By examining patterns in the compression scheme of each image or video, the present invention identifies the content of the data. In one embodiment, an unsupervised learning method is employed where each image or video is sub-divided into smaller blocks (8 pixels×8 pixels, for instance) and each of the smaller blocks is examined for its compression pattern. Then, the patterns associated with each of the smaller blocks is recorded for each of the images in the database and content is retrieved from the database by associating certain patterns or groups of patterns with certain content.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2001Date of Patent: May 16, 2006Assignee: California Institute of TechnologyInventors: Patricia A. Keaton, Rodney M. Goodman

Patent number: 7039930Abstract: Advertising is marked with a code in a way which makes it difficult to fool the system. The advertising is marked with a code at the time the advertising is produced. Then, when the advertising is broadcast, the code on the advertising is analyzed. Different security measures can be used, including producing the code in the closed captioning so that many different people can see the code, or comparing codes in one part of the signal with a code in another part of the signal. Measures are taken to prevent the code from being used to detect commercials. According to another part of this system, a paradigm for a clearinghouse is disclosed in which the user signs up with the clearinghouse, obtains a line of credit, and the advertiser, the agency, and the ad producer also subscribe to the service. When the ad is actually aired, the payment can be automatically transferred.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2000Date of Patent: May 2, 2006Assignee: California Institute of TechnologyInventors: Rodney M. Goodman, Karen Emerson, Jeffery Dickson

Patent number: 6917708Abstract: A method of automatically recognizing text. The text is divided into whole words which are each recognize. Each whole word is characterized according to its silhouette. The silhouette is characterized by features in the silhouette such as upwardly extending “polls” and downwardly extending “holes”. The silhouette may also be characterized by its first syllable blends. Numbers are assigned to each of the different characteristics, and numbers may also be assigned based on analysis of a database of different kinds of cursive words. Recognition may be automatically carry out prior recognizing system which recognizes in this way.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2001Date of Patent: July 12, 2005Assignee: California Institute of TechnologyInventors: Rodney M. Goodman, Donal J. Woods, Patricia A. Keaton, Joseph Chen

Patent number: 6746960Abstract: Techniques are used to detect and identify analytes. Techniques are used to fabricate and manufacture sensors to detect analytes. An analyte (1810) is sensed by sensors (1820) that output electrical signals in response to the analyte. The electrical signals are preprocessed (1830) by filtering and amplification. In an embodiment, this preprocessing includes adapting the sensor and electronics to the environment in which the analyte exists. The electrical signals are further processed (1840) to classify and identify the analyte, which may be by a neural network.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2002Date of Patent: June 8, 2004Assignee: California Institute of TechnologyInventor: Rodney M. Goodman
