Methods, apparatus, and systems are disclosed for optimization techniques and a realistic 3D model to design optimal parameters for transcutaneous stimulation to achieve focalized stimulation of a target tissue such as the spinal cord, brain or other internal organ. The methods, apparatus, and systems include generation of a 3D model from a CT/MRI image, as well as an optimization algorithm that enables stimulation of any target location (e.g., on the dorsal root, or on the dorsal column) with any orientation at high precision.

Optimal multi-electrode transcutaneous stimulation with high locality and intensity

An ultra-dense electrode-based brain imaging system with high spatial and temporal resolution. A Sparsity and Smoothness enhanced Method Of Optimized electrical TomograpHy (s-SMOOTH) based reconstruction technique to improve the spatial resolution and localization accuracy of reconstructed brain images is described. Also described is a graph Fractional-Order Total Variation (gFOTV) based reconstruction technique to improve the spatial resolution and localization accuracy of reconstructed brain images.

The present invention relates, in general, to an immunogen and, in particular, to an immunogen for inducing antibodies that neutralizes a wide spectrum of HIV primary isolates and/or to an immunogen that induces a T cell immune response. The invention also relates to a method of inducing anti-HIV antibodies, and/or to a method of inducing a T cell immune response, using such an immunogen. The invention further relates to nucleic acid sequences encoding the present immunogens.

Consensus/ancestral immunogens

The invention relates to HIV-1 envelope polypeptides comprising the consensus envelope of SEQ ID NO: 35, compositions comprising these envelopes and methods for using same.

Modified human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) group M consensus envelope glycoproteins capable of inducing broadly reactive T- and B-cell responses

A system and method for merging scenes in a video sequence and constructing a keyframe to represent the underlying merged video content includes decomposing a video sequence into a series of component scenes, merging component scene pairs until a predetermined number of scene sets remain, extracting a keyframe from each scene set containing a single component scene, and constructing a new keyframe for each scene set containing a plurality of component scenes.

Scalable video summarization

A method and system for automatically summarizing a video document. The video document is decomposed into scenes, shots and frames, and an importance value is assigned to each scene, shot and frame. Keyframes are allocated among the shots based on the importance value of each shot. The allocated number of keyframes are then selected from each shot. The number of keyframes may be altered for greater or lesser detail in response to user input.
