Invention
Eliminating the bottleneck in WiFi networks: New protocol delivers order-of-magnitude increase in performance
Have you ever been to a very busy coffee shop, hotel lobby or conference and been unable to access WiFi? Wi-Fi networks based on the 802.11 set of standards are pervasive, but have a fundamental performance bottleneck that limits the practical…

Invention
A novel color filter array design scheme significantly reduces hardware complexity
In digital imaging applications, data are typically obtained via a spatial sub-sampling procedure implemented as a color filter array (CFA). CFA assigns a separate primary color to each pixel by placing a filter of that color over the pixel. The…

Voltage emergency prediction: Signature-based approach to reducing voltage emergencies
To reduce the gap between nominal and worst-case operating voltages, Harvard researchers have developed a “voltage emergency predictor” that identifies when emergencies are imminent and prevents their occurrence. A voltage emergency predictor…
