Smart phones are very popular and used by over seven billion people. Each day seven million dollars worth of cell phones is lost or stolen. Without an authentication device, personal data stored on the device can be used for identity theft or the phone can be used for unauthorized purposes. Most authentication systems authenticate a user only once when...

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) transfers information across the World Wide Web by routing packets of data from the web’s most available servers to a client, whose browser then builds a webpage (or streams media) from those packets. MPEG’s Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH), Apple’s HTTP Live Streaming, Microsoft Smooth...

The most advanced Body Sensor Networks (BSNs) consist of wireless electronic sensors that are worn by patients and communicate wirelessly with a smartphone or computer. These sensors can be invasive or they must be put on every time a patient is monitored, which can be especially inconvenient for non-human patients. Currently, no non-invasive method...

Current technology for monitoring social media will track frequencies of matching documents for simple, unorganized, keyword lists containing names of groups, individuals, practices, brands, and places. This has left a gap between what society thinks is understood from monitoring and what is actually understood in the complex systems that make up societies....

Invention Description Selectorless resistive random-access memory is crucial for achieving high-density crossbar scaling, however, suppressing sneak path currents (SPCs) without external selector components is still a major challenge. Conventional von Neumann architectures, which transfer data between the process unit towards memory, struggle to keep...

Invention Description Long-range imaging systems are often affected by atmospheric turbulence, which can introduce blur, distortion, and reduced image quality. Traditional turbulence simulators typically ignore depth-dependent variations, limiting their ability to accurately represent real-world imaging conditions. This lack of realism can hinder the...

Invention Description Soft exosuits have the potential to improve mobility and reduce physical strain during walking, but providing effective assistance across different users and walking conditions remains challenging. Traditional learning control systems often require extensive tuning, large amounts of training data, or simulation environments that...

Invention Description Accurately detecting and processing electromagnetic (EM) signals from moving sensors is challenging due to distortions caused by acceleration and nonuniform time sampling. These effects introduce frequency modulation, nonlinear phase shifts, and directional changes that degrade signal quality and make reconstruction difficult....

Invention Description Generating high-quality 3D content is essential for applications such as gaming, film, and virtual reality, but it typically requires large, well-annotated 3D datasets. These datasets are expensive and time-consuming to create, limiting the scalability of current text-to-3D generation methods. As a result, many existing models...

Invention Description Solving systems of linear equations (Ax = b) is a fundamental yet computationally intensive task in engineering applications, especially in power system simulations, where such operations often dominate execution time. Current power system simulators predominantly rely on LU decomposition-based linear solvers for transient simulations,...
