The electrodes (2a...2f) can be used, for instance, to detect EEG and ECG signals or to monitor body/berathing movements, temperature or perspiration. A preferred embodiment has an electrode which incorporates all functions in a semiconductor chip designed as an integrated circuit with the appropriate sensor, sensor-control, frequency-generation, transmitter and receiver units plus a switching control unit. The antenna (36a) can be mounted either in the flexible electrode covering or directly on the chip.

Wireless medical diagnosis and monitoring equipment

A watermark system includes an embedder, detector, and reader. The watermark embedder encodes a watermark signal in a host signal to create a combined signal. The detector looks for the watermark signal in a potentially corrupted version of the combined signal, and computes its orientation. Finally, a reader extracts a message in the watermark signal from the combined signal using the orientation to approximate the original state of the combined signal. While adapted for images, video and audio, the watermark system applies to other electronic and physical media. For example, it can be applied to mark graphical models, blank paper, film and other substrates, texturing objects for ID purposes, etc.

Watermark embedder and reader

Various improvements to steganographic systems, and applications therefore, are disclosed. The improvements include facilitating scale and rotation registration for steganographic decoding by use of rotationally symmetric steganographically embedded patterns and subliminal digital graticules; improved techniques for decoding without access to unencoded originals; improving robustness of steganographic coding in motion pictures and/or in the presence of lossy compression/decompression; and representing data by patterned bit cells whose energy in the spatial domain facilitates decoding registration. Applications include enhanced-security financial transactions, counterfeit resistant identification cards, fraud deterrent systems for cellular telephony, covert modem channels in video transmissions, photo duplication kiosks with automatic copyright detection, and hotlinked image objects (e.g. with embedded URLs) for use on the internet.

Computer system linked by using information in data objects

A wireless, programmable system for medical monitoring includes a base unit (18) and a plurality of individual wireless, remotely programmable biosensor transceivers (20). The base unit (18) manages the transceivers (20) by issuing registration, configuration, data acquisition, and transmission commands using wireless techniques. Physiologic data from the wireless transceivers (20) are demultiplexed and supplied via a standard interface to a conventional monitor (914) for display. Initialization, configuration, registration, and management routines for the wireless transceivers and the base unit are also described.

Wireless system protocol for telemetry monitoring

In a wireless local area network in which data packets are spread spectrum encoded, method and apparatus are provided for determining phase values that synchronize noise codes at network stations with received data packets. A synchronizing packet is first transmitted from a source station to various network stations. Each network station performs a wide-range search for a phase value that synchronizes the noise code of the station with the synchronizing packet. Thereafter, each network station performs narrow-range searches for phase values synchronizing the noise code of the station with subsequently received network packets. The stations switch to the wide-range search mode whenever a synchronizing phase angle has not been detected for predetermined period of time and switch to a narrow-range search mode whenever a synchronizing phase angle is detected. In a polled local area network, polling packets generated by a base station serve as synchronizing packets, and the base station is adapted to perform only narrow-range searches. Packets with shorter synchronization headers can be used thereby improving data transfer rates.

Wireless local area network

The data telemetry system disclosed is a complete data communications system suitable for use by utilities such as electronic companies, gas companies and water companies which can be used for meter reading and load management at individual subscribers premises (21). Elements of the system can also be used as a power load carrier in a premise specific local area network (LAN). With the system as disclosed, all 10,000 subscribers (21) per exchange can be serviced. It will be understood that data can be multiplexed between a central office location (25, 34, 44) and remote subscribers (21) for any suitable purpose with the data system as disclosed. A packet switching structure is disclosed having eight to thirty-two bytes in the data message. This packet is routed between the utility (28) and remote subscriber (21) with routing headers being added and deleted as required by the network modules (38, 40). Each successive layer of the multiplexing and switching hierachy submultiplies the aggregate 10,000 channel capacity into fewer channels. Both time and space division switching and multiplexing are used.

Bi-directional data telemetry system

A signal processing system comprises inputs for an analog audio signal and a digital data signal. The digital data signal is modulated to an analog data signal in an inaudible frequency band. Filters are used to ensure that the audio signal is restricted to audible frequencies and that the analog data signal is restricted to inaudible frequencies. The two analog signals are then combined into a composite analog signal. The composite signal is stored on a medium such as a compact disc. Filters are used to extract and separate the two analog signals from the composite signal stored on the medium. The analog data signal is demodulated to retrieve the original digital data signal.

System for carrying transparent digital data within an audio signal

The foregoing problems are solved and a technical advance is achieved by a computer-implemented system for providing a digital watermark in an audio signal. In a preferred embodiment, a audio file (108), such as a .WAV file, representing an audio signal to be watermarked is processed using an algorithm of the present invention herein referred to as the 'PAWS algorithm' (104) to determine and log the location and number of opportunities that exist for inserting a watermark into the audio signal such that it will be masked by the audio signal. The user can adjust (17) certain parameters (112) of the PAWS algorithm (104) before the audio file is processed. A/B/X testing between the original and watermarked files is also supporter to allow the user to undo or re-encode the watermark, if desired.

System for providing a digital watermark in an audio signal

An apparatus for the domain interpolation of digital audio signals includes a signal processor apparatus to reconstruct the digital audio signal. The signal processor apparatus includes a receiver for receiving a digital audio signal, a decoder for demodulating the signal, a central processing unit for performing a time domain interpolation on the decoded signal to produce an interpolated data signal having an increased sampling rate over the digital audio signal, and a digital-to-analog converter for converting the interpolated data signal into an analog output signal that may be transmitted to an amplifier for output through a speaker. The signal processor apparatus achieves an oversampling rate and digital to analog conversion that will allow a digital audio system to more precisely reconstruct an analog audio signal from a digital audio signal such that there will be no perceptible difference between the reconstructed digital signal and the original analog signal.

Method and apparatus for time domain interpolation of digital audio signals

A method and system is provided for a digital audio system to reconstruct a digital audio signal using time domain interpolation and direct power digital-to-analog conversion. A signal processor performs the time domain interpolation on an original digital audio signal to allow for the proper recreation of the original audio signal and a direct power output digital-to-analog converter generates an analog power audio output signal from the interpolated digital audio signal that can directly drive a speaker to produce the sound waves represented by the audio output signal. The signal processor and direct power output digital-to-analog converter allow a digital audio system to more precisely reconstruct an analog power output audio signal from a digital audio signal such that there is no need for further amplification of the audio output signal and such that there will be no perceptible difference between the reconstructed digital signal and the original analog signal.
