Motorola Mobility Assigned Patent

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 13 -- Motorola Mobility, Libertyville, Ill., has been assigned a patent (8,332,196) developed by four co-inventors for a "method and apparatus for enhancing the accuracy and speed of a ray launching simulation tool." The co-inventors are Salvador Sibecas, Lake Worth, Fla., Alexander Bijamov, Plantation, Fla., Celestino A. Corral, Ocala, Fla., and Glafkos Stratis, Lake Worth, Fla.

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A method (600) and simulation tool (200) having enhanced accuracy and speed for simulation using ray launching in a mixed environment (20) by using adaptive ray expansion mechanisms can include a memory (204) coupled to a processor (202). The processor can select (602) a target area within the mixed environment and modify (604) the propagation properties of the adaptive ray expansion mechanisms according to characteristics classified for the target area. The processor can further classify characteristics for the target area by transmitting and reflecting rays for indoor building regions and for outdoor building regions. The number of bounces or a power level threshold assigned to a transmitted ray is a function of the environment where it propagates. The simulation tool can determine the target area or a region of interest by using a global positioning service device (230) externally attached to a device performing functions of the simulation tool."

The patent application was filed on Nov. 30, 2009 (11/948,636). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,332,196&OS=8,332,196&RS=8,332,196

Target Brands Assigned Patent

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 13 -- Target Brands, Minneapolis, has been assigned a patent (8,332,271) developed by five co-inventors for "web influenced in-store transactions." The co-inventors are Corrine Wilder, West Palm Beach, Fla., Rachel Gregg, St. Louis Park, Minn., James Nelson, Bloomington, Minn., Wendy Yungner, Maple Grove, Minn., and Andrew M.

For example, an online portal may receive online transactional data and in-store transactional data and associate particular user identities with such data. The user identities may be correlated by matching online transactional data with in-store transactional data. This correlation identifies a user known to frequent both online and in-store venues of the same retailer. The online portal may maintain browser repository records based on an association of online and in-store identities. In some implementations, the portal measures in-store transactions of a user known to frequent both online and in-store venues. The measurements may be performed for a predetermined time period. Such measurements may be used to extrapolate web influenced in-store transactional data from at least one browser repository record to estimate a transaction for an unknown user."

The patent application was filed on April 29, 2011 (13/098,384). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,332,271&OS=8,332,271&RS=8,332,271

NIST, University of South Florida Assigned Patent

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 13 -- The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology and the University of South Florida, Tampa, Fla., have been assigned a patent (8,331,632) developed by four co-inventors for "indexing face templates using linear models." The co-inventors are Pranab Mohanty, Tampa, Fla., Sudeep Sarkar, Tampa, Fla., Rangachar Kasturi, Tampa, Fla., and P. Jonathon Phillips, Bethesda, Md. The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A novel, linear modeling method to model a face recognition algorithm based on the match scores produced by the algorithm. Starting with a distance matrix representing the pair-wise match scores between face images, an iterative stress minimization algorithm is used to obtain an embedding of the distance matrix in a low-dimensional space. A linear transformation used to project new face images into the model space is divided into two sub-transformations: a rigid transformation of face images obtained through principal component analysis of face images and a non-rigid transformation responsible for preserving pair-wise distance relationships between face images. Also provided is a linear indexing method using the linear modeling method to perform the binning or algorithm-specific indexing task with little overhead."

The patent application was filed on Feb. 13, 2009 (12/371,099). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=8,331,632.PN.&OS=PN/8,331,632&RS=PN/8,331,632

L-3 Communications Security and Detection Systems Assigned Patent

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 13 -- L-3 Communications Security and Detection Systems, Woburn, Mass., has been assigned a patent (8,331,675) developed by Justin Kennison, St. Petersburg, Fla., Ingo Donasch, Sarasota, Fla., and James Connelly, St. Petersburg, Fla., for "reducing latency in a detection system." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A first multi-dimensional digital image of a scan region is generated. The scan region is included in a materials-detection apparatus and is configured to receive and move containers through the materials-detection apparatus. A pre-defined background range of values is accessed, the background range of values representing a range of values associated with non-target materials and the background range of values being distinct from values associated with the target materials. A value of a voxel included in the multi-dimensional digital image is compared to the background range of values to determine whether the value of the voxel is within the background range of values. If the value of the voxel is within the background range of values, the voxel is identified as a voxel representing a low-density material. A second multi-dimensional digital image that disregards the identified voxel is generated to compress the first multi-dimensional digital image."
