| 1 | 10880950 | Flexible resource allocation for even further enhanced machine type communication (EFEMTC) | A User Equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry coupled to memory. To configure the UE for machine type communication (MTC) , the processing circuitry is to decode radio resource control (RRC) signaling from a base station (such as an Evolved Node-B (eNB) ) . The RRC signaling indicates activation of flexible starting physical resource block (PRB) for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) resource allocation. DCI received on an MTC physical downlink control channel (MPDCCH) is decoded, the DCI indicating a narrowband (NB) index of a NB frequency resource and at least one PRB index for the PDSCH resource allocation. The NB frequency resource indicated by the NB index is shifted based on the activation of the flexible starting PRB for PDSCH resource allocation. PDSCH data received from the base station using the shifted NB frequency resource is decoded. | Qiaoyang Ye (Fremont, CA), Debdeep Chatterjee (San Jose, CA) | Intel Corporation (Santa Clara, CA) | 2019-02-15 | 2020-12-29 | H04W4/80, H04W4/70, H04W88/06, H04W76/27, H04L5/00, H04W8/22, H04W72/04, H04W48/12 | 16/277556 |

| 31 | 7639714 | Apparatus method and medium for detecting payload anomaly using n-gram distribution of normal data | A method, apparatus and medium are provided for detecting anomalous payloads transmitted through a network. The system receives payloads within the network and determines a length for data contained in each payload. A statistical distribution is generated for data contained in each payload received within the network, and compared to a selected model distribution representative of normal payloads transmitted through the network. The model payload can be selected such that it has a predetermined length range that encompasses the length for data contained in the received payload. Anomalous payloads are then identified based on differences detected between the statistical distribution of received payloads and the model distribution. The system can also provide for automatic training and incremental updating of models. | Salvatore J.

| 33 | 7309829 | Layered signal processing for individual and group output of multi-channel electronic musical instruments | System and method for creating rich timbre performance, composition, and recording environments for an electronic musical instrument with multiple vibrating elements providing multi-channel output. The instrument produces at least one group instrument output signal responsive to the vibrations of a plurality of vibrating elements and at least two individual instrument output signals each responsive to a unique vibrating element. An individual signal may be applied to pre-filtered pitch-transposing signal processors to add stable, rich, responsively re-enforcing bass tones. Another individual signal may be applied to emphasis signal processing to emphasize a particular melodic line, note in a chord, etc. A wide variety of traditional and novel rich-timbre signal processing techniques may also be employed. The invention may be used individually or in conjunction with other signal processing and signal synthesis techniques in creating new forms of rich musical timbres and spatially-distributed timbre constructions. | Lester F.

| 34 | 7154275 | Method and apparatus for detecting individuals using electrical field sensors | A robust, easily deployable, covert, passive intrusion detection system uses one or more E-field sensors to detect the presence of a moving individual and to provide an indication of the presence of the individual adjacent the sensor based on E-field distortion produced by the individual. Single-ended and differential E-field sensors with noise canceling and a guarding circuit provide sufficient sensitivity, with filtering from 0.5 Hz to 8.0 Hz selecting only human intruders. Either visible or invisible flashing light sources at the sensor indicate the presence of a moving individual at the sensor, thus to provide intruder location without the necessity of providing a geolocation system. | Paul A.

| 35 | 6968228 | Measurement of electrophysiologic response | A method for estimating an electrophysiologic response contained in a measured signal includes obtaining a plurality of samples and defining a plurality of bins, each of which corresponds to a range of values of a sorting parameter associated with each of the samples. Each sample of the measured signal is then classified into one of the bins on the basis of a value of a sorting parameter associated with that sample. Then, for each bin, a statistic indicative of samples classified into that bin is maintained. On the basis of these bin statistics, the desired electrophysiologic response can then be estimated. | Aaron Thornton (West Des Moines, IA) | Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary (Boston, MA) | 2003-02-27 | 2005-11-22 | A61B5/0476, A61B5/0484, A61B005/04 | 10/376799 |
| 36 | 6834835 | Telescopic wing system | The present invention is a wing having telescoping segments deployed via an actuator composed of a heat activated material. The actuator is a coiled tube of shape memory alloy (SMA) with large force-displacement characteristics activated thermally by either a fluid or an electrical charge. Actuator motion extends an inner wing segment from an outer wing segment when the coiled tube is compressed. Compression is achieved by heating the coiled tube so as to cause a phase transformation from Martensite to Austenite. The inner wing segment may be retracted by a mechanical device or second SMA coil when the coiled tube is cooled and returned to its Martensite phase. | Gareth Knowles (Williamsport, PA), Ross W.

| 37 | 6670920 | System and method for single platform, synthetic aperture geo-location of emitters | The determination of the geographical location of a signal emitter by the coherent, time integrated measurement of received signal wavefront phase differences through a synthetic aperture and the reconstruction of the wavefront of the received signal. The location of an emitter is determined by coherently measuring the phase gradient of an emitted signal at measurement points across a measurement aperture. Each measured phase gradient is integrated to determine a vector having a direction from the measurement point to the signal emitter and an amplitude proportional to the received signal. A figure of merit is determined for each possible location of the signal emitter by integrating each vector with respect to a propagation path between the measurement point of the vector and the possible location of the signal emitter, and the location of the signal emitter is determined as the possible location of the signal emitter having the highest figure of merit. The measurement aperture is generated by motion of a receiving aperture along the path and the receiving aperture is generated as by synthetic aperture methods. The receiving aperture may be mounted on an airborne platform and a positional towed body. | David L. Herrick (Mont Vernon, NH) | Bae Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc.
