20150195083 | HOMOMORPHIC CRYPTOGRAPHY MODELING IN SUPPORT OF PRIVACY POLICIES - Data privacy is becoming increasingly important and, in some jurisdictions, required. Access to private data can be controlled by forcing all access to go through minimizations services that allow only authorized access to private data. These minimization services can become processing bottlenecks if the only way to modify private data is by way of requests to the minimization service. Certain homomorphic operations allow for encrypted data to be modified without being first decrypted although other operands must be encrypted. Augmenting a minimization service to provide a public encryption key provides for encryption of the other operands. Providing a records manager that can take advantage of homomorphic operations allows certain data operations to be performed without compromising security and without accessing the minimization service. | 07-09-2015 |

Suitably, a relatively small geographic area can be used based on the real estate buyer's specified criteria, and the real estate ranking computation is able to handle interactions among predictor variables, possesses suitable predictive confidence, and includes the capability for dynamically adjusting the underlying ranking computation as new patterns of real estate market emerge over time. | 06-21-2012 |

20090199742 | SACRIFICIAL AGENTS FOR FLY ASH CONCRETE - A method of producing cementitious mixtures containing fly ash as one of the cementitious components, under air entrainment conditions. The method involves forming a mixture comprising water, cement, fly ash, optionally other cementitious materials, aggregate, conventional chemical admixtures, and an air entrainment agent and agitating the mixture to entrain air therein. Additionally, at least one sacrificial agent is also included in the mixture. The sacrificial agent is a material or mixture of materials that is not required to act as an air entrainment agent but interacts preferentially with components of the fly ash that otherwise neutralize, repress or depress the activity of the air entrainment agent. The invention includes cementitious mixtures and hardened concretes resulting from the method and fly ash treated with sacrificial agent, or air entrainment agent/sacrificial agent combinations, and processes for selecting suitable sacrificial agents. | 08-13-2009 |

20090313027 | HIGH-QUALITY ENCODING AT LOW-BIT RATES - Methods and devices provide improved perceived quality of an audio (or other) coded signal at a low bit-rate. An input signal may be split into an outlier portion and a stationary portion. The outlier portion of the input signal may be encoded. The stationary portion may be divided into subvectors. Each subvector may be classified as trivial or non-trivial. Each trivial subvector may be encoded using a pre-defined pattern. Each non-trivial subvector may be encoded with at least one location of at least one significant sample and a sign of the significant sample. | 12-17-2009 |

20120326712 | Method and apparatus for measuring magnetic parameters of magnetic thin film structures - High-frequency resonance method is used to measure magnetic parameters of magnetic thin film stacks that show magnetoresistance including MTJs and giant magnetoresistance spin valves. The thin film sample can be unpatterned. Probe tips are electrically connected to the surface of the film (or alternatively one probe tip can be punched into the thin film stack) and voltage measurements are taken while injecting high frequency oscillating current between them to cause a change in electrical resistance when one of the layers in the magnetic film stack changes direction. A measured resonance curve can be determined from voltages at different current frequencies. The damping, related to the width of the resonance curve peak, is determined through curve fitting. In embodiments of the invention a variable magnetic field is also applied to vary the resonance frequency and extract the magnetic anisotropy and/or magnetic saturation of the magnetic layers. | 12-27-2012 |
