Abstract: Remote desktop servers include a display encoder that maintains a secondary framebuffer that contains display data to be encoded and transmitted to a remote client display. The display encoder submits requests to update the display data in the secondary framebuffer to a video adapter driver that has access to a primary framebuffer whose display data is updated according to drawing commands received from applications running on the remote desktop servers. The video adapter driver utilizes a spatial data structure to track changes made to the display data located in regions of the primary framebuffer and copies the display data in those regions of the primary framebuffer to corresponding regions in the secondary framebuffer.

Title: Methods and devices relating to downlink assignments
Inventor: ASTELY DAVID
IPC: H04L1/16
Filed: 2009-02-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a method in a first communication device of receiving control information over a radio channel from a second communication device.  The first communication device receives a subframe over the radio channel, and determines whether the subframe is a downlink subframe with downlink assignment intended for the first communication device by reading data in the subframe. That being the case, the first communication de-vice decodes data within the subframe, and determines whether any data packet being sent from the second com-munication device before the subframe has been missed by analysing an indicator associated to the subframe in the data. The indicator provides knowledge about previous downlink subframes with downlink assignment intended for the first communication device.

Abstract: There is provided a yaw control technique for a wind turbine generator that can decrease the magnitude of the wind direction deviation even though the wind direction changes gradually over an extended period of time while suppressing an increase in the number of yaw rotations.  Further, there is provided a yaw control technique for a wind turbine generator that can improve the efficiency of a wind turbine generator by performing yaw rotation at an appropriate timing through early detection of transitional changes in the wind direction. The wind turbine generator includes a nacelle in which a wind turbine rotor is mounted, a rotating mechanism that performs yaw rotation of the nacelle, a wind direction measuring means that measures a wind direction, and a controller that controls the rotating mechanism. The controller calculates the wind direction deviation from the direction of the wind turbine rotor and the wind direction measured by the wind direction measuring means, and performs yaw rotation of the nacelle by the rotating mechanism when any one of the following conditions (1) and (2) is satisfied. The conditions (1) and (2) include (1) a state where the absolute value of the wind direction deviation is not less than a first threshold (or a state where the absolute value of the wind direction deviation exceeds a first threshold) continues for a predetermined first duration, and (2) a state where the absolute value of the wind direction deviation is not less than a second threshold larger than the first threshold (or a state where the absolute value of the wind direction deviation exceeds a second threshold) continues for a second duration shorter than the first duration. Assuming that the current time is denoted by to and T denotes a predetermined value, the yaw rotation of the nacelle is stopped if an average of the wind direction between time to-T and time to corresponds to the direction of the wind turbine rotor.
