Abstract: A method and apparatus for ranking pixels in an image by degrees of saliency, including: defining ( 200, 210 ) a plurality of regions for each of a plurality of pixels in an image, where each of the regions for any one of the pixels at coordinates (x,y) has a different scale s, calculating ( 230 ) an entropy value for each of the regions, identifying ( 260 ) any of the regions as having a peak entropy value, weighting ( 270 ) the peak entropy value of each of the peak entropy regions by a weight value corresponding to a peak width estimate of the peak entropy value, and ranking ( 290 ) the regions by the weighted peak entropy values, thereby ranking the pixels. The invention can be included in a method and apparatus for image transmission, providing preferential transmission of salient portions of the image.

Abstract: An improved system and method for stirring suspended solids in a liquid media to enhance sample growth and improve sample detection results. The system and method employs a sample vessel holder which adapted to receive at least one sample vessel which contains the solids and liquid media and a stirrer, such as a ferrous metal filled stirrer, and maintain the sample vessel in a position such that the longitudinal axis of the sample vessel extends at an angle substantially less than 90 degrees with respect to the horizontal, such as within the range of about 15 degrees to about 25 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The system and method further employs a magnet driver, adapted to move a magnet, such as a rare earth magnet, proximate to an outer surface of the sample vessel to permit the magnet to impose a magnetic influence on the stirrer to move the stirrer in the sample vessel. Specifically, the magnet driver is adapted to move and, specifically, rotate the magnet such that the magnetic influence moves the stirrer along a side wall of the sample vessel. The magnet driver is further adapted to move the magnet away from said outer surface of the sample vessel to allow gravity to move the stirrer toward the bottom of the sample vessel. This technique therefore provides a more gentle and controlled stirring of the suspended solution. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for selectively maintaining a compression state and applying a compression technique after a PPP renegotiation on a U m  interface of a wireless communication network. A communication device (104) receives packetized data transmitted from a terminal device (102) which is coupled to the communication device via an R m  interface. The communication device determines (S315) whether the received packetized data comprises compressed or uncompressed data. Upon determining that the received packetized data comprises compressed data, the communication device determines (S340) whether connection information exceeds a highest numbered decompression slot from a plurality of decompression slots on said U m  interface. The communication device sets up (S330) a local decompression slot, in the communication device, which corresponds to the connection information in order to maintain said compressionsate, wherein the local decompression slot is set up in response to determining (S325) that the connection information exceeds the highest-numbered decompression slot. The communication device decompresses (S350) the compressed packetized data when it receives compressed packetized data containing said connection information.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and computer software and hardware products providing method, apparatus and system solutions for implementing table lookups in a side-channel attack resistant manner. Embodiments are provided for devices and situations where there is limited amount of RAM memory available or restrictions on memory addressing. The solutions solve problems associated with look up tables with large indices, as well as problems associated with looking up large sized tables or a collection of tables of large cumulative size, in limited devices, in an efficient side-channel attack resistant manner. These solutions provide defenses against both first-order side channel attacks as well as higher-order side channel attacks. One aspect of the present invention is the creation of one or more random tables which are used possibly in conjunction with other tables to perform a table lookup. This denies an adversary information about the table lookup from the side channel and thereby imparting side-channel resistance to the table lookup operation. Another aspect of the present invention is the use of a combination of some operations such as Table Split, Table Mask and Table Aggregate, to achieve this side-channel resistance within the limited amounts of available RAM and limited memory addressing capabilities of the device performing table lookups.
