Title: Shortening a name for display
Inventor: MAISON MICKAEL
IPC: G06F3/14
Filed: 2012-07-30
Abstract: The name of a file displayed on a user interface is shortened based upon the size of the area available to display it. The computer system receives the name string 101, determines the available size 102, and whether the name string provided can fit within the available area 103. If it cannot, the string is shortened by replacing words with acronyms 111 or removing non-distinctive elements 113 in the string. This may be an iterative process 105 until a suitably-sized string is achieved. Initials may be used to replace multiple words. The user may be provided with proposed shortened strings in order to select the most useful. Where multiple, similar names are provided for display, the system may compare the name strings, and remove or replace non-unique elements of each. This allows for the identification of unique files where they may otherwise appear identical.

Title: High bandwidth decompression of variable length encoded data streams
Inventor: AGARWAL KANAK B
IPC: H03M7/40
Filed: 2012-11-12
Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for decoding a variable length encoded data stream. A decoder of a data processing system receives an input line of data. The input line of data is a portion of the variable length encoded data stream. The decoder determines an amount of bit spill over of the input line of data onto a next input line of data. The decoder aligns the input line of data to begin at a symbol boundary based on the determined amount of bit spill over. The decoder tokenizes the aligned input line of data to generate a set of tokens. Each token corresponds to an encoded symbol in the aligned next input line of data. The decoder generates an output word of data based on the set of tokens. The output word of data corresponds to a word of data in the original set of data.
