moving beyond wavelets / FFT

Hello all,

I recently received an announcement at my workplace 
(NASA Ames) that offered a class in this technique:

"
Dr. Norden Huang of Goddard is the developer of a new methodology, the
Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT), for the analysis of nonlinear and nonstationary
data. This technique produces significantly better physical results in
comparison to existing analytical methods such as Fourier Analysis and Wavelets.
"

I am something of a novice when it comes to video codecs
so this may be totally useless, however I know existing
codecs use FFT and wavelets, so perhaps this new 
analysis technique could be used to make a better codec.  
I don't know the computational requirements it would
impose.  I can't find the (a) paper on it available on
the web.  This document is the best that I can find:

Here's a MS Word DOC:
http://icb.nasa.gov/IOY2001/gsc13817-1329.doc

And google's HTML version:
http://216.239.51.100/search?q=cache:l4QynIKChfIC:icb.nasa.gov/IOY2001/gsc13817-1329.doc+Hilbert-Huang+Transform&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

Hopefully someone with a deeper understanding can
assess this properly.  If it at least seems worth
pursuing I may be able to talk to the author about
getting a PDF version of a paper.
