#2Sounds like something to build as part of your tricorder and get paid twice :oP

Also, that doesn't sound like a lot of money to transfer intellectual property rights for that. I guess they have patents on the hardware side so the algorithm is not easily monetisable by itself.

If you view this as a freelance project instead, it is a fixed price $45,000 project where you only get paid if you 1-beat the best result of a team of professionals who have been doing this, 2-are the first to do so, and 3-achieve something that may or may not be possible.

The 2nd chapter in Head First Java has a competition for an Aero chair between a procedural programmer and an OO programmer. The narrative describes how the OO programmer dominates the procedural programmer throughout the competition. So, who won the chair? Well, according to the book it was the 3rd programmer neither knew was offered the contract.
Seriously, I guess this would be fun if you and a few buddies were bored and in school. Otherwise, no thanks.

#645,000 $CAD, not $USD
Re: $45,000 algorithmic contest
#745,000 $CAD, not $USD

Right, so more than $45,000.
1 Canadian dollar = 1.0324 US dollars $45,000 Canadian dollars = $46,458.90 US dollars
It's been a few months since a US dollar was worth more than a Canadian dollar.

#9they want 95% classification done using 16KHz sampling of "passive electromagnetic emission" (i.e. basically noise).
Good luck classifying between me and Pavarotti only by listening to our breath over the phone.
