Patent EP-1349338-A3 (EP)
Inventor: KOLZE THOMAS J
IPC: H04L27/00
Filed: 2003-03-31
Abstract: The invention is operable to compensate for frequency drift and phase error within a window that may include a single frame, a sub-frame, or multiple frames. The compensation is performed after having performed estimation of the phase within the particular window; any phase error and frequency drift may be identified and an appropriate form of compensation may be identified to perform curve fitting of the phase within the compensation window. The curve fitting of the phase is performed using linear techniques in one embodiment; an average phase and appropriate slope/ramp are calculated to match the phase as accurately as possible. Other alternative compensation techniques may also be performed, including higher order curve matching techniques. The receiver is operable to perform any necessary compensation before passing the now-compensated data to a symbol processing functional block.

Abstract: Software can be acquired via a distributed server arrangement. Software designated as to be installed at a set of nodes can be acquired from a local peer node. Nodes can include agents that periodically query a data center to discover software designated as to be installed on the node. The designated software can then be acquired via one or more references to peer nodes. The nodes can periodically update the data center to accurately indicate which software is available at the nodes. Proxy server nodes can serve as liaisons between a data center and other nodes that lack direct network access to the data center. Various aspects can be performed within an application service provider scenario. If desired, any node can be designated as a sharing peer node, a proxy server node, or both.

Abstract: An acoustic matching member (100) that is incorporated into an ultrasonic transducer for transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves, includes: at least two layers including a first layer (11) and a second layer (12) that have different acoustic impedance values from each other. The first layer (11) is made of a composite material of a porous member (1) and a filling material (2) supported by void portions of the porous member (1), the second layer (12) is made of the filling material (2) or the porous member (1), and the first layer (11) and the second layer (12) are present in this stated order. A piezoelectric member is disposed on a side of the first layer (11) of the acoustic matching member (100) to form an ultrasonic transducer or an ultrasonic flowmeter. The acoustic matching member (100) does not have independent intermediate layers between the layers, so that delamination hardly occurs and the difficulty in the designing associated with the presence of intermediate layers can be avoided.

Abstract: A test packet generator (225a) within a physical layer device (230) may generate test packets to be communicated over a closed communication path established within the physical layer device (230). The test packets may include a pseudo-random bit sequence. A receiver within the physical layer device (230) may receive at least a portion of the generated test packet. A test packet checker (225b) within the physical layer device may compare at least a portion of the received test packets with at least a portion of the generated test packets in order to determine the bit error rate for the physical layer device. A window counter (225c) within the physical layer device (230) may count at least a portion of a number of bits received within the generated test packets and a number of bits that are in error in at least a portion of the number of bits received. Accordingly, the bit error rate may be calculated based on a ratio of the number of counted bits in error to the number bits counted in the at least a portion of the number of bits received.

Abstract: A method for reproducing data and a control device using a controllable dummy read gate are provided. In the method for reproducing data, at least one of a pulse width, a pulse generating location and the number of pulses is controlled so that a dummy read gate is generated. Then, a read gate for reproducing a target sector is generated, and data is reproduced using the read gate. According to the method, since the pulse width of the dummy read gate is adjusted, a location of the defect sector is avoided and error estimation is decreased. Further, in a case where it is determined that the defect sector or signal distortion exists, the read error is prevented by adjusting the pulse generating location of the dummy read gate.

Abstract: A retouching method for enhancing an appearance of a face located
in a digital image involves acquiring a digital image containing one or more faces
and detecting a location of facial feature points in the faces, where the facial
feature points include points identifying salient features such as skin, eyes,
eyebrows, nose, mouth, and hair. The location of the facial feature points are used
to segment the face into different regions such as skin, eyes, eyebrows, nose,
mouth, neck and hair regions. Facially relevant characteristics of the different
regions are determined and, based on these facially relevant characteristics, an
ensemble of enhancement filters are selected, each customized especially for a
particular region, and the default parameters for the enhancement filters are
selected. The enhancement filters are then executed on the particular regions,
thereby producing an enhanced digital image from the digital image.

Abstract: A simplified fault tolerant algorithm is presented for operating a distributed computing system in a fault tolerant manner. A system comprising three computing devices need only have two devices agree to perform any proposed function. Thus, when soliciting a vote for a proposed function, a leader device can also send its vote for the proposed function. This allows any recipient device to complete the quorum with its own vote. Consequently, any recipient device can, without any further messages, determine whether to execute the proposed function. Furthermore, if the device executes the proposed function, it can transmit the results directly to the client that requested the function, saving a message delay. If the quorum of devices used to select and execute proposed functions is itself selected by a quorum, then one of the devices of the system can be an inexpensive device having limited computational ability or storage capacity.

Abstract: A stroke indicator for a tubular patch expansion system is
provided for indicating that a stroke of the system has
occurred. The tubular patch expansion system is disposable
in a tubular string in a wellbore, and has an inner movable
mandrel which, in use, is in fluid communication with a

under pressure down into the wellbore through the tubular
string to the tubular patch expansion system. The stroke
indicator comprises a hollow body with a bore therethrough
having at least one port in fluid communication with the
bore and with space outside the body. A piston is movably
mounted in the body, a portion of the piston initially
blocking the port to fluid flow. A connection member is
connectible to the movable inner mandrel of the tubular
patch expansion system so that, as the movable inner
mandrel moves, the connection member moves thereby moving
the piston and opening the port to fluid flow. The port is
positioned on the body so that the port is opened to fluid
flow when a stroke of the tubular patch expansion system
has occurred.
