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 ...
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 ...
According to Brommer, it is no longer necessary to know which sensor is being used. Whether GPS, magnetometer/compass or speedometer, the data can simply be passed on to the algorithm and the sensor ...
