Signal separation processing includes a signal separation architecture defining a relationship between at least one input signal and at least one output signal. The signal separation architecture includes a state space representation that establishes a relationship between the input and output signals. At least one output signal is based on the signal separation architecture.

This invention unifies a set of statistical signal processing, neuromorphic systems, and microelectronic implementation techniques for blind separation and recovery of mixed signals. A set of architectures, frameworks, algorithms, and devices for separating, discriminating, and recovering original signal sources by processing a set of received mixtures and functions of said signals are described. The adaptation inherent in the referenced architectures, frameworks, algorithms, and devices is based on processing of the received, measured, recorded or otherwise stored signals or functions thereof. There are multiple criteria that can be used alone or in conjunction with other criteria for achieving the separation and recovery of the original signal content from the signal mixtures. The composition adopts both discrete-time and continuous-time formulations with a view towards implementations in the digital as well as the analog domains of microelectronic circuits. This invention focuses on the development and formulation of dynamic architectures with adaptive update laws for multi-source blind signal separation/recovery.

Magnetic forces are used as a controlled actuation mechanism to move and position objects of interest. In one embodiment, a first spherical surface has at least one magnetic positioner attached. A second spherical surface is positioned to move relative to the first spherical surface. A plurality of controlled electromagnets are spaced about the second spherical surface. Control logic energizes at least one of the controlled electromagnets to create magnetic interaction with at least one magnetic positioner to move the first spherical surface relative to the second spherical surface.

A positioner has a first surface with a plurality of controlled electromagnets and a second surface having a circular cross-section movably positioned relative to the first surface. A plurality of magnetic positioners are disposed around the second surface. Control logic energizes a sequence of the controlled electromagnets to create magnetic interaction with the plurality of magnetic positioner and thereby move the second surface relative to the first surface. A rotor may be positioned to rotate relative to the second surface. Electromagnetic pickups in proximity with the rotor receive a time-varying electromagnetic field from rotor magnets as the rotor rotates, thereby generating electrical energy.

A novel visual method and system for interacting with displays and all devices that use such displays. The system has three hardware elements, which are a display, a light sensor or camera that can register the display image and the pointing device or its effect on the display, and a pointing device that can be registered by or produces recognizable characteristics that can be registered by the light sensor or camera. The system uses a set of methods as follows: a method for detecting the display, and the pointing device on or in relation to the display, a method for establishing the correspondence between the position of the pointing device in relation to the display as it is registered by the light sensor or camera and its position in relation to the computer or display device space, a method for correcting the offsets between the position of the pointing device or effect thereof on the display as observed by the user or by the light sensor or camera, and the position of the pointer on the computer or device display space, a method for selecting or highlighting a specific item or icon on the display, a method for activating a specific process, program, or menu item represented on the display, and a method for writing, scribing, drawing, highlighting, annotating, or otherwise producing marks on the display.
