This paper describes an algorithm for maximising a conditional likelihood function when the corresponding unconditional likelihood function is more easily maximised. The algorithm is similar to the EM ...

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

The yield curve is a fundamental input parameter of valuation theories in capital markets. Information about yields can be observed in a discrete form, either directly through traded yield instruments ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We describe a new MCMC method optimized for the sampling of probability measures on Hubert space which have a density with respect to a ...

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 ...

A long line of Federal Circuit precedent holds that a function in a software claim under 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph, must refer to a corresponding “algorithm” in the specification. Absence of an ...
