Abstract:
A device comprising a processor, an energy source, one or more sensors, a wireless transceiver and a memory. The memory may comprise instructions for selecting one of a plurality of modes of operation. The modes of operation may comprise (i) a low-power mode in which the device consumes less than a pre-determined or an adaptively-determined amount of power and the device has less than full functionality and (ii) a high-power mode in which the device consumes more than the pre-determined or the adaptively-determined amount of power and the device has more functionality than in the low-power mode. The instructions for selecting one of the modes of operation may comprise (i) instructions for conserving power by transitioning from the high-power mode to the low-power mode and (ii) instructions for activating the wireless transceiver to transmit a message with information from the sensors to a remote device.

The devices and systems for managing the power consumption of the vehicle typically include power management logic that can calculate an applied power for the vehicle engine based on information provided from the external environment of the vehicle, the operational status of the vehicle, one or more command inputs from a driver, and one or more operational parameters of the vehicle.
Abstract:
The invention teaches an effective deployment strategy for sensors based on finding a set-cover solution of computational geometry. The system and methods of the invention teach embodiments to deploy sensors of varying capabilities in a workspace with real-world constraints. The workspace comprises a set of target regions or cells that are required to be observed. Sensor capabilities include having sensing stations with different types of sensors operating simultaneously to provide sensing, network or other types of coverages. Constraints include having range and directional constraints on the sensors, requiring sensing stations to be placed only within certain predetermined regions or locations of the workspace, and having a limited number of a certain type of sensors available. The invention finds a variety of real-world applications including tracking, coverage, and social media.
Abstract:
An effective deployment strategy for multi-modal sensing stations is disclosed. Multi-modal sensing stations have one or more modes of operation, while the system and methods of the invention teach embodiments to deploy multi-modal sensors of varying capabilities in a workspace with real-world constraints. The solution computed by the instant invention includes location/placement and configuration/orientation of the sensing stations, as well as the switching sequences of their modes in order to provide desired coverage. The desired coverage is expressed by a performance measure, which can be a measure of time, or any other measure suited for a given application. Sensing stations are equipped with different types of sensors operating simultaneously to provide sensing, network or other types of coverages.
Abstract:
System and method for event-based updating of user profiles UP of users U in a social network and formation of new communities based on a resonance condition. A database of user profiles UP with profile domains D based on self-reports as well as observed network behaviors is deployed. The user profiles UP of users U in groups G attending an event are re-compiled by an event-based updating module based on event responses ER. Further, the event-based updating module identifies a profile change ΔP* in at least one of the profile domains D of user profiles UP, and the new community is formed by the event-based updating module from a subgroup SG whose profile change ΔP* indicates a mutual resonance or consensus in their event responses ER.

Abstract:
The present invention concerns methods and apparatus for determining the effects of a mutual interdependence or entanglement in pairs of subjects that jointly contextualize a proposition and are considered in a quantum representation. The subject pairs are selected based on contextualizations and measurable indications they exhibit modulo the proposition. Once selected, they are jointly exposed or confronted by the proposition such that both are aware that they are facing the proposition together and in accordance with certain additional rules that lead to the formation of joint subject states that are entangled. Quantum representation of entanglement between both F-D anti-consensus subjects and B-E consensus type subjects is achieved in accordance with the four canonical equations and consequent violation of the Bell inequality is encoded in subject interdependence thus established.

Abstract:
The present invention concerns methods and apparatus for determining when it is appropriate to apply a quantum representation to contextualizations of propositions about items as experienced by test subjects. The methods and apparatus also indicate when classical representations are appropriate and under what conditions views of the observed effects or measurable indications are to be modified. Renormalization-related ordering of test subjects along a real scale parameter W and their confinement to a range ΔW of scale values Wi within which the quantum representation can be presumed to be within a range of validity are introduced. The ordering and other renormalization-inspired concepts are used to define important parameters of the representations including first and second-order phase transitions to enhance the application of quantum or classical representations and/or views to be presented to an observer.of
Abstract:
The present invention is an apparatus and method for predicting the reactions of a subject, e.g., a human being to a proposition posed to the subject during a subject-object or a subject-subject interaction that takes place online or in real life. The quantum mechanical model adopted herein assigns a first subject qubit |iss1> to a primary internal state of the subject with eigenvalues corresponding to measurable indications a, b of the primary internal state. A response qubit |rsp> that can yield at least two mutually exclusive responses corresponding to two eigenvalues is also assigned to the subject. A proposition matrix PR in the form of a linear operator designed to act on response qubit |rsp> is assigned to enable a quantum mechanical derivation of response probabilities and expectation values for response to the same underlying proposition in various contexts, including incompatible contexts in the Heisenberg sense.
