It ’s an electrifying time to be in neuroscience.

For our April 2015 issue, we cover recent patents granted in the area of wavelet analysis. The section below covers patents granted recently for seismic data analysis, image stream compression, audio identification, continuous wavelet estimation, multidimensional data analysis, motion tracking, dispersion measurement, time domain network analysis, and video fingerprinting. In patent no.

Computer scientists at Washington University in St. Louis’ School of Engineering & Applied Science analyzed a huge amount of data regarding an important protein and discovered its connection in human history as well as clues about its role in complex neurological diseases.

Qazi, Farhan Aslam (State University of New York at Buffalo) “Good code sets based on Piecewise Linear FM”, (2015), Advisor: Fam, Adly T In this dissertation, classes of good analog and polyphase code sets, based on Piecewise Linear FM (PLFM) are introduced.

With the explosive growth of 5G wireless technology development, signal processing techniques are playing more and more important roles in many aspects. As an industry-oriented technical committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society, Industry DSP Technology Standing Committee (IDSP-SC) is actively promoting 5G technology from a practice and industry perspective.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society invites nominations for the 2016 Class of SPS Distinguished Lecturers (DLs). Per the Board of Governors’ motion, this year the Society will also appoint a special Distinguished Lecturer in the area of Machine Learning/Data Science for a two-year term. The special Distinguished Lecturer will be available for a period of four years, so we will appoint a sixth Distinguished Lecturer in 2015 and in 2017, explicitly in the area of Machine Learning/Data Science.
