Title: Object tracking
Inventor: GRAUBE NICHOLAS GUY ALBERT
IPC: H04L45/02
Filed: 2014-07-17
Abstract: Tracking one or more objects (such as packages 602 whose location is to be tracked or forms part of a stock or inventory to be monitored) comprising: providing each object with a communication device (such as package tags 603), each communication device being configured to form a cluster 601with other communication devices in its vicinity (see A to E, figure 4b); and one or more of the communication devices providing information about a presence of a communication device in the cluster to another device, which is outside of the cluster, e.g. tracking server 606. Each cluster may take the form of an ad hoc mesh network, using a short-range wireless communication protocol (Bluetooth Low Energy, IEEE 803.11) and be identified by a network key or the identity of a central node. A communication device may provide information about its own presence in the cluster, by alerting the tracking server when it joins or leaves a particular cluster, or it may include a communication device acting as a central node 604 by collecting information about the presence of other devices in the cluster and feeding this information back to the tracking server.

Title: Efficient wavefield extrapolation in anisotropic media
Inventor: ALKHALIFAH TARIQ
IPC: G01V1/30
Filed: 2013-12-24
Abstract: Various examples are provided for wavefield extrapolation in anisotropic media. In one example, among others, a method includes determining an effective velocity model and extrapolating an equivalent propagation of an anisotropic, poroelastic or viscoelastic wavefield. The effective velocity model can be based upon a kinematic geometrical representation of an anisotropic, poroelastic or viscoelastic wavefield. Extrapolating the equivalent propagation can use isotopic, acoustic or elastic operators based upon the determined effective velocity model. In another example, non-transitory computer readable medium stores an application that, when executed by processing circuitry, causes the processing circuitry to determine the effective velocity model and extrapolate the equivalent propagation of an anisotropic, poroelastic or viscoelastic wavefield. In another example, a system includes processing circuitry and an application configured to cause the system to determine the effective velocity model and extrapolate the equivalent propagation of an anisotropic, poroelastic or viscoelastic wavefield.

Title: Data centric messaging
Inventor: KAYVON BARAD
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2017-06-29
Abstract: A data message contains multiple data identifiers with associated dynamic metadata and data content such that the receiving node can locate and process only the data associated with a subset of the identifiers. The data identifiers and dynamic metadata may be located in predetermined positions in the data message, the locations of which may be retrieved from a storage medium. The dynamic metadata may comprise a status, length and position offset of the data content. The receiving node may further retrieve static metadata corresponding to the data identifiers from a memory in order to interpret the received content. This static metadata may comprise units or encoding of the data content. The data messages may be broadcast in the network and different receiving nodes may filter different data from the message using a respective subset of the data identifiers. In an embodiment, this scheme is used in an avionics system. In another embodiment, the message data may be structured such that it is agnostic to the network technology used to carry the message.
