Online Signature Verification technology requires primarily a digitizing tablet and a special pen connected to the USB port of a computer. An individual can sign on the digitizing tablet using the special pen regardless of his signature size and position. The signature is characterized as pen-strokes consisting x-y coordinates and pressure with the data being stored in a signature database. Dynamic time warping (DTW) and quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA) is used to get results where the system accepts 2% of forged signatures and rejects 5% of true signatures

PopED (Population Experimental Design) is a software tool for computing optimal experimental designs. The software has been developed with an emphasis on drug trials based on population models (non-linear mixed effects models).

ACADO Toolkit is a software environment and algorithm collection for automatic control and dynamic optimization. It provides a general framework for using a great variety of algorithms for direct optimal control, including model predictive control, state and parameter estimation and robust optimization. ACADO Toolkit is implemented as self-contained C++ code and comes along with user-friendly MATLAB interface. The object-oriented design allows for convenient coupling of existing optimization packages and for extending it with user-written optimization routines.

ISAD is a peak detection software that detects individual (pre-)synaptic activity in microscopy images from neuronal cultures transfected with pHluorin. It computes synaptic signals from automatically segmented regions of interest and detects peaks that represent vesicle fusion events, thus, pre-synaptic activity. ISAD is based on MWA, which is a continuous wavelet transform based algorithm that employs multiple wavelets and is published as: Sokoll, S., Tönnies, K., and Heine, M. Detection of Spontaneous Vesicle Release at Individual Synapses Using Multiple Wavelets in a CWT-Based Algorithm. Med Image Comput Comput Assist Interv (MICCAI). 2012;15(Pt 1):165-72 ISAD is written in MATLAB and comes with a graphical user interface.

An ANSI C library of routines for rapid signal detection based on higher order statistical analysis.
