High confidence visual recognition of persons by a test of statistical independence
- IEEE TRANS. ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE
, 1993
"... A method for rapid visual recognition of personal identity is described, based on the failure of a statistical test of independence. The most unique phenotypic feature visible in a person’s face is the detailed texture of each eye’s iris: An estimate of its statistical complexity in a sample of the ..."

-significant bits comprise a 256-byte “iris code. ” Statistical decision theory generates identification decisions from Exclusive-OR comparisons of complete iris codes at the rate of 4000 per second, including calculation of decision confidence levels. The distributions observed empirically in such comparisons
A scheduling model for reduced CPU energy
- ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM ON FOUNDATIONS OF COMPUTER SCIENCE
, 1995
"... The energy usage of computer systems is becoming an important consideration, especially for batteryoperated systems. Various methods for reducing energy consumption have been investigated, both at the circuit level and at the operating systems level. In this paper, we propose a simple model of job s ..."

Trace Scheduling: A Technique for Global Microcode Compaction
- IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTERS
, 1981
"... Microcode compaction is the conversion of sequential microcode into efficient parallel (horizontal) microcode. Local com-paction techniques are those whose domain is basic blocks of code, while global methods attack code with a general flow control. Compilation of high-level microcode languages int ..."

Scheduler Activations: Effective Kernel Support for the User-Level Management of Parallelism
- ACM Transactions on Computer Systems
, 1992
"... Threads are the vehicle,for concurrency in many approaches to parallel programming. Threads separate the notion of a sequential execution stream from the other aspects of traditional UNIX-like processes, such as address spaces and I/O descriptors. The objective of this separation is to make the expr ..."

the expression and control of parallelism sufficiently cheap that the programmer or compiler can exploit even fine-grained parallelism with acceptable overhead. Threads can be supported either by the operating system kernel or by user-level library code in the application address space, but neither approach has
A Practical Guide to Wavelet Analysis
, 1998
"... A practical step-by-step guide to wavelet analysis is given, with examples taken from time series of the El Nio-- Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The guide includes a comparison to the windowed Fourier transform, the choice of an appropriate wavelet basis function, edge effects due to finite-length t ..."

How Iris Recognition Works
, 2003
"... Algorithms developed by the author for recogniz-ing persons by their iris patterns have now been tested in six field and laboratory trials, producing no false matches in several million comparison tests. The recognition principle is the failure of a test of statis-tical independence on iris phase st ..."

with extremely high confidence. The high confidence levels are important because they al-low very large databases to be searched exhaustively (one-to-many “identification mode”) without making any false matches, despite so many chances. Biomet-rics lacking this property can only survive one-to-one (“verification
System architecture directions for networked sensors
- IN ARCHITECTURAL SUPPORT FOR PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES AND OPERATING SYSTEMS
, 2000
"... Technological progress in integrated, low-power, CMOS communication devices and sensors makes a rich design space of networked sensors viable. They can be deeply embedded in the physical world or spread throughout our environment. The missing elements are an overall system architecture and a methodo ..."

Geographic Concentration in U.S. Manufacturing Industries: A Dartboard Approach
- Journal of Political Economy
"... This paper discusses the prevalence of Silicon Valley–style localiza-tions of individual manufacturing industries in the United States. A model in which localized industry-specific spillovers, natural ad-vantages, and pure random chance all contribute to geographic concentration is used to develop a ..."
