| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 7852240 | Variable length encryption A communication system using two computers. The first computer takes a textual string in the open, and, using a varying length representation, associates each character within the textual string to a varying length digital representation. The resulting digital strin... | 12/14/2010 |
| 7403561 | Fixed bit rate, intraframe compression and decompression of video High quality intraframe-only compression of video can be achieved using rate distortion optimization and without resizing or bit depth modification. The compression process involves transforming portions of the image to generate frequency domain coefficients for eac... | 07/22/2008 |
| 7227455 | Mileage information display system An mileage communication system for a vehicle, such as a trailer, is disclosed. Mileage data is communicated to a processor by a sensor. The processor calculates cumulative mileage and encodes the mileage data into a code, such as an ON-OFF code, that is capable of ... | 06/05/2007 |
| 6737994 | Binary-ordered compression for unicode A system and method for encoding an input sequence of code points to produce an output sequence of bytes that is compressed, but has the same relative binary order as the original sequence. This system and method includes the following steps: (1) receiving the input... | 05/18/2004 |
| 6686857 | Information dependent data transmission for pilot protective relays Waveform information is transmitted from the ends of a protection zone by first compressing the information using a lossy compression technique such as wavelets and then compressing the lossy compressed waveform information using a loss-less compression t... | 02/03/2004 |
| 6084518 | Balanced charge flame characterization system and method A sensor for detecting characteristics of a flame includes a pair of electrodes that are spaced apart for passing an electric current through the flame. A pulse width modulator is coupled to the electrodes and generates an alternating current which flows ... | 07/04/2000 |
| 5608395 | Simplified computer access system A method of providing simplified keyed access to a computer or to other electronic devices with an alphabetic display, also referred to as a "computer", the method including the use of a low order hashing code for hashing the vocabulary in the computer, t... | 03/04/1997 |
| 4661073 | Code tutoring system A Morse code tutoring system: a computer with an appropriate program and a code practice oscillator interfacing to it. In one mode of operation, the operator uses a straight key to produce code in the oscillator which is monitored by the computer, and ana... | 04/28/1987 |
| 4292624 | International Morse Code number generator The binary coded decimal of a number is selectively loaded into presettable counters. A switching means sequentially connects each of the binary levels of each of the digits comprising the number to an International Morse Code memory addressing a selected... | 09/29/1981 |
| 4011502 | Logarithmic ratemeter with bistable signal comparison A logarithmic ratemeter has a plurality of bistable devices each having two inputs the first of which is connected to a common input line for receiving voltage pulses from a detector of atomic particles and the second of which is connected to a secondary ... | 03/08/1977 |
