The beam generation at the predetermined frequency and the predetermined cartesian beam intensity is controlled using a controller responsive to the determined resonance frequency. The predetermined frequency equals the resonance frequency of the spherical virus. The beam on is radiated a predetermined area to destroy the spherical virus at the predetermined area using radiating circuitry. The mechanical eigen-vibrations at the resonance frequency of the spherical virus determined by the predetermined three-dimensional acoustical model are induced within the spherical virus to destroy the spherical virus responsive to the predetermined frequency. The transverse shear forces are imparted to the icosahedral lattice structure of the spherical virus to destroy the icosahedral lattice structure of the spherical virus.

Abstract

A method for predicting future behavior for a dynamic system using an artificial intelligence system implemented within a computer hardware system. A predetermined amount of a time series group of data from the dynamic system defining previous behavior of the dynamic system are received at the artificial intelligence system. An attractor is constructed from the time series group of data that defines the previous behavior of the dynamic system using the artificial intelligence system. The attractor models the previous behavior of the dynamic system based on the predetermined amount of the time series group of data of the dynamic system. A prediction horizon for the predetermined amount of the time series group of data is determined with the artificial intelligence system using an attractor dimension of the constructed attractor and a Lyapunov exponent of the constructed attractor. The prediction horizon increases logarithmically as a length of the predetermined amount of the time series group of data from the dynamic system increases linearly. Prediction values of future behavior of the dynamic system are generated with the artificial intelligence system using the constructed attractor and the determined prediction horizon.

A system for generating a blockchain comprises first circuitry for receiving a first group of data. Blockchain processing circuitry generates a blockchain for a plurality of groups of data. The blockchain processing circuitry generates the blockchain by generating a first nonce for a first block of the blockchain. The blockchain processing circuitry performs a first hash using the first group of data and the first nonce as an input to a hash function to generate a first digital signature for the first block as an output. The hash function uses encryption based on quantum key distribution using N-state qudits where N is greater than 2. The block chain processing circuitry receives a second group of data and generates a second nonce for a second block of the blockchain. A second hash is performed using the second group of data, the second nonce and the first digital signature to generate a second digital signature for the second block as an output. The hash function uses encryption based on the quantum key distribution using N-state qudits where N is greater than 2.

Abstract

A unified core network provides core network services to a number of telecommunications network operators. The unified core is partitioned into a number of slices with each slice being the core network for a network operator. Each network operator is then free to define services within its own partition to serve its own users. In this manner, the network operators are freed from building and maintaining a core network while simultaneously enjoying the benefit of having a core network.

Abstract

A system for enabling signal penetration into a building includes a first transceiver, located on an outside of the building, for transmitting and receiving signals at a first frequency outside of the building, wherein the signals at the first frequency do not easily penetrate into an interior of the building. A first up/down converter converts between a first version of the signals at the first frequency and a second version of the signals at a second frequency. The first frequency is higher than the second frequency and the signals at the second frequency better penetrate to the interior of the building and overcome losses caused by penetrating into an interior of the building. A second up/down converter converts between the second version of the signals at the second frequency that overcomes the losses caused by penetrating into the interior of the building and a third version of the signals after transmission from the building exterior to the building interior. A router transmits and receives the third version of the signals within the interior of the building.

A first up/down converter converts between a first version of the signals at the first frequency and a second version of the signals at a second frequency. The first frequency is higher than the second frequency and the signals at the second frequency better penetrate to the interior of the building and overcome losses caused by penetrating into an interior of the building. A second up/down converter converts between the second version of the signals at the second frequency that overcomes the losses caused by penetrating into the interior of the building and a third version of the signals after transmission from the building exterior to the building interior. A router transmits and receives the third version of the signals within the interior of the building.

Abstract

A system and method for detecting glycation levels within hemoglobin generates a first correlation matrix using a first light beam at a first wavelength passing through a hemoglobin sample. A second correlation matrix is generated using a second light beam at a second wavelength passing through the hemoglobin sample. The first correlation matrix is multiplied by an inverse of the second correlation matrix to obtain a third matrix. A fourth matrix is generated by taking a singular value decomposition of the third matrix. The fourth matrix comprises a unique biomarker for a level of glycation within the hemoglobin sample. The level of glycation within the hemoglobin sample is determined responsive to the fourth matrix and an indicator identifying the determined level of glycation is output.

Abstract

A system includes an interface for receiving a plurality of data streams from a plurality of data sources. A multiplexor groups the plurality of data streams into a plurality of groups. A plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) processing circuitries apply a same OFDM processing to each of the plurality of groups using a same combination of frequency and time slot combinations on each of the plurality of groups. A modulator modulates each of the OFDM processed groups onto a same signal bandwidth by applying a different, unique orthogonal function to each of the OFDM processed groups. The unique orthogonal functions defined by a path on and between the surfaces of a plurality of concentric orthogonal state spheres defining each of the different, unique orthogonal functions. A transmitter transmits modulated OFDM processed groups over the communications link in accordance with each of the different, unique orthogonal functions defined by the path on and between the surfaces of the plurality of concentric orthogonal state spheres.
