Filed:

Jun 20, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/821041

Inventors:

Mauricio Guilherme de Carvalho Resende - Holmdel NJ, US
Michael Jacob Hirsch - Oldsmar FL, US

Assignee:

AT&T Intellectual Property II, L.P. - Reno NV
University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc. - Gainesville FL
Raytheon Company - Wilmington MA

International Classification:

G06F 17/40
G06F 17/00

US Classification:

702189, 702104, 702127, 702181, 382103

Abstract:

Disclosed are method and apparatus for registering multiple sensors collecting data from multiple objects. Sensor registration is decomposed into a two-step procedure. The first step corrects systematic errors. The second step assigns objects measured by one sensor to objects measured by a second sensor. Systematic errors are corrected by generating the global minimum of a systematic error function. One embodiment for generating the global minimum uses a Continuous Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure.

Inventors:

Mauricio Guilherme de Carvalho Resende - Holmdel NJ, US
Michael Jacob Hirsch - Oldsmar FL, US
Claudio Nogueira de Meneses - Sao Paulo, BR

International Classification:

G06E 1/00

US Classification:

700 28

Abstract:

Disclosed are method and apparatus for generating a global minimum value of a function representing a characteristic of a system comprising at least one object, wherein the function is based at least in part on a set of data elements within a bounded domain. At an initial randomly chosen data element, the method comprises generating a local minimum by a sequence comprising multiple iterations of a construction phase followed by a local-improvement phase. A set of local minima are generated at a set of initial randomly chosen data elements. The global minimum is the minimum of the local minima within the bounded domain.

US Classification:

424 12

Abstract:

This invention relates to immunologic compositions comprising pyruvic aldehyde stabilized erythrocytes sensitized with an antigen by coupling of the stabilized erythrocytes to the antigen with bifunctional molecules, and to methods for preparing these compositions. Also disclosed are antiserum compositions which may be utilized with the described stable, sensitized erythrocytes of this invention as reagents in hemagglutination tests, and methods for their preparation. The invention further comprises lyophilization of these compositions and siliconized vials for use with the reagents of this invention.
