"...build a better digital base..."

Not precisely the same thing as original thinking. AKA, Yankee ingenuity.

Well, with a name like Arvind Thingamajig he SHOULD be able to invent!

Cardiac diagnosis is generally done using Ultra Sound Echo, which costs about half a million dollars. In sharp contradistinction, the device Thiagarajan invented costs only $500! Even home users can use it with ease, he says.

It won't be $500 after they figure in the costs for getting it approved by the FDA, liability insurance, distribution, marketing, lobbying, etc.

"Not only lossless, but more compression too."

That is a big deal, and with an original system for compression. ...good work! Oh, and don't mind the sour words of the sore losers who were betting on China tech.

What's the big deal? If I want to compress my data I just change the font size

Great news, this is what globalization is all about to me. We all benefit from the discoveries wherether they are made.
India is producing a great number of engineers and scientists.

If he manages to resist the temptations to buy into the med racket, his Heart Card will allow for a huge market. And that doersn't even begin to cover teh possibilities of providing for analysis of teh data - also for fee.

Hopefully he, and his investors, will go for the mass market rather than trying for the top dollar per patient. The Apple v. PC analogy comes to mind.

According to Arvind Thiagarajan, the name MatrixView was chosen because "we view every image as a matrix. We transform the matrix, we also rearrange the matrix."


I'm going to have to check into this some more. We may have an application, too.

It's interesting that in the last few months, FreeRepublic has been inundated by posters from India, who only post about India. It's almost as if we have an organized group that is using this forum as a public relations venue.

I find it odd that these posters are incapable of using forums in India or creating their own forums that deal with India. They seem to find it necessary to abuse this forum with their pro-India propoganda.

The admins really need to take a look at this issue before FR becomes overrun by this shorts of shills.

Oh I wouldn't say that, but they are pretty good at scamming people. I can think of a dozen products that turned to crap after having had the software to run them outsourced to the land of fakirs, most notably HP scanning products, of which many now require the installation of the Java runtime engine just to work. The last scanner my company bought had a driver installation CD that spewed 280 MB of Indian garbage onto the drive, and had a crummy scanner app that ran in IE and took forever to load. The hardware itself was a pile of Chinese junk that had the look and feel of an low-end Lexmark printer from 1994.

As for the claim for the invention of a new compression scheme, it looks like the only people the Indians have beaten are the chumps at the ASX.

Read below from website

Matrixview had employed JBIG lossless compression algorithm, ABC (Advanced Blocksorting Compression), LZW compression by Unisys, LogLuv Compression by SGI, JPEG compression, FreeImage software and some lesser known academic works and scrambled into software called DocuMAT and Echoview. It’s little wonder why Ernst & Young’s report on Matrixview’s DocuMat (also known Dataview earlier) software revealed exact same performance as JBIG !!! Why didn’t Ernst & Young notice this phenomenon earlier when they conducted their independent tests? If the same compression engine was used, you basically achieve the same results!
