The invention describes a selection and arbitration method for reading a population of RFID transponders (tags). The transponders are selected or de-selected individually, or in one or more groups, using one or more command signals from a reader. The command signals from the reader include selection or de-selection criteria for selecting or de-selecting transponders by moving them between different states by setting or resetting a command flag, such as a flip-flop, in the transponders. The different transitional states include a Ready state, an Active state, a Standby state, a Singulated state and a Quiet state.

The invention discloses determination of authority stations and a building method and device of an authority station database. The determination method of the authority stations comprises the steps that multiple POIs contained in a target area are sorted according to the authority attributes of the POIs, wherein the authority attributes comprise at least one of the group membership attribute, the position attribute and the recognition degree attribute; the set number of POIs are acquired to serve as the authority stations corresponding to the target area according to a sorting result. Determination of the authority stations is achieved through the determination method of the authority stations, the determined authority stations have the advantages that the recognition degree is high, a user can easily reach the authority stations, and the stations are suitable for group selection, intelligent recommendation of user boarding places is conveniently achieved, and the user experience is improved.

An apparatus and method for performing beamforming for transmitting a plurality of bit streams output through Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) via a plurality of transmission antennas in a base station using a multi-antenna scheme. The apparatus and method include classifying the plurality of transmission antennas into a plurality of transmission antenna groups; selecting one of the transmission antenna groups depending on a group selection signal being fed back from a mobile station; and outputting each of the bit streams to its associated transmission antenna among the transmission antennas constituting the selected transmission antenna group.

The disclosed multilayer tree route method for distributive certification of wireless self-organizing network comprises the group generation, route group maintenance and group selection. The key of this invention is to reconstruct the network structure into a multilayer group tree topology. This invention improves certification efficiency, reduces network spending, and improves the network security and reliability.

A fault location estimation system comprises single-fault-assumed diagnostic means that assumes a single fault and stores fault candidates, fault types, and detected error-observation nodes at which an error arrives from the fault candidates; error-observation node basis candidate classification means that classifies error propagating fault candidates into groups according to error-observation nodes using the fault candidates and the error-observation nodes and stores the groups as fault candidate groups; inclusion fault candidate group selection means that acquires a relation between each fault candidate group and a fault output, calculates an inclusion relation among the fault candidate groups, and, if path information on one fault candidate group includes path information on another fault candidate group, deletes the inclusion fault candidate group; inter-pattern overlapping means that calculates combinations of fault candidate groups that can reproduce a test result in all test patterns by referencing the fault candidates and the fault candidate classification result and extracts fault candidates that are common to fault candidate groups, calculated in multiple patterns, to create a new fault candidate group; and multiple-fault simulation checking means that selects fault candidates from the combinations of fault candidate groups, one from each fault candidate group, performs multiple-fault simulation, compares the simulation result with the test result, and outputs a combination of fault candidate groups which matches relatively well with the test result and has a relatively high fault possibility.

Systems and methods for real-time collaborative computing and collective intelligence are disclosed. A collaborative application runs on a collaborative server connected to a plurality of computing devices. Collaborative sessions are run wherein a group of independent users, networked over the internet, collaboratively answer questions in real-time, thereby harnessing their collective intelligence. Systems and methods for selection among a set of user-input suggestions. The group is divided into subgroups, each subgroup selecting one suggestion from a subgroup of suggestions. The process is repeated with the remaining selected suggestions until one final target is selected, by the entire group, from the remaining suggestions.

Techniques for efficiently and accurately organizing freeform handwriting into lines. A global cost function is employed to find the simplest partitioning of electronic ink strokes into line groups that also maximize the “goodness” of the resulting lines and the consistency of their configuration. The “goodness” of a line may be based upon its linear regression error and the horizontal and vertical compactness of the strokes making up the line. The line consistency configuration for a grouping of strokes is measured by the angle difference between neighboring groups. The global cost function also takes into account the complexity of the stroke partitioning, measured by the number of lines into which the strokes are grouped. An initial grouping of strokes is made, and the cost for this initial grouping is determined. Alternate groupings of the initial stroke grouping are then generated. The global cost of each of these alternate stroke groupings is then calculated, and the stroke grouping that produces the largest global cost decrease from the global cost of the original grouping is selected. The alternate grouping creation, cost determination and evaluation, and grouping selection process then is repeated until the global cost for new grouping alternates no longer decreases.

A motion compensation module can be used in a video encoder for encoding a video input signal that includes a sequence of images that are segmented into a plurality of macroblocks. The motion compensation module includes a motion search module that generates a motion search motion vector for a plurality of subblocks for a plurality of partitionings of a macroblock of a plurality of macroblocks and generates a selected group of the plurality of partitionings based on a group selection signal. A motion refinement module—generates a refined motion vector for the plurality of subblocks for the selected group of the plurality of partitionings of the macroblock of the plurality of macroblocks, based on the motion search motion vector for each of the plurality of subblocks of the macroblock of the plurality of macroblocks.
