Submodular function optimisation has emerged as a cornerstone of contemporary algorithm design, offering a powerful framework to address a broad range of combinatorial problems characterised by the ...

Addressing the question of what corresponding structure must be disclosed to support a means-plus-function claim element, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld a district court ...

The US Court of Appeals vacated a Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) obviousness decision, finding that the disputed means-plus-function term was computer-implemented and therefore required the ...

Advanced Ground Info. Sys. v. Life360, Inc. (Fed. Cir. July 28, 2016) (Before Mayer, Moore, and Wallach, J.) (Opinion for the court, Wallach, J.) The patents-in-suit ...

Means-plus-function claiming has been disfavored (by and large) since at least 1994 when the Federal Circuit handed down its decision in In re Donaldson, where the Federal Circuit sitting en banc ...

This paper presents three algorithms for solving linear programming problems in which some or all of the objective function coefficients are specified in terms of intervals. Which algorithm is ...

Trigonometric functions are often used in embedded systems. Motor drivecontrol applications such as the Park Transform, Clarke Transform, andPWMgeneration use trigonometric functions extensively.

RNA interference using small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) has become a mainstay of functional gene characterization and has ...

A new research paper published by Google describes a dramatically new way to improve how web pages are ranked. This algorithm claims significant improvements to deep neural network algorithms that ...
