Abstract: Selon une variante de cette invention, on détermine un ou plusieurs trajets les plus courts au moyen d'une partie d'un réseau informatique, à partir d'un sommet de source vers un ou plusieurs sommets de destination selon le protocole d'état de lien. On traite une représentation graphique de la partie réseau comportant des noeuds et des bords représentant les sommets et les connexions intermédiaires. Le traitement consiste à travailler sur la représentation graphique d'après l'algorithme de type Djkstra. Un sous-ensemble du traitement par l'algorithme Djkstra consiste à traiter une liste de candidats afin de maintenir et de travailler sur la liste de candidats des noeuds que l'on a visités lors du traitement par l'algorithme de Djkstra. Le traitement de la liste de candidats est finalement optimisé par rapport au traitement par algorithme Djkstra standard pour le protocole d'état de lien. Le traitement de la liste de candidats optimisés peut faire en sorte, par exemple, que le traitement de la liste de candidats agisse sur la liste de candidats des noeuds mémorisés dans un format générique, notamment un tas de Fibonacci de noeuds Fibonacci dans un format générique indépendant du protocole d'état de lien. Le traitement de la liste de candidats peut être accédé, par la suite, via une interface de programmation d'application générique. Il en résulte que le traitement de la liste de candidats peut servir dans différents protocoles d'état de lien, y compris ceux de routage d'état de lien, notamment l'OSF et l'IS-IS.

Abstract: Engine sounds corresponding to traveling actions of a
car object in a game space are reproduced using previously recorded
sound data obtained by running a real car, and therefore it is
possible to reproduce engine sound close to a real engine's sound.
When the car object is accelerating, corresponding acceleration
sound data can be sequentially read and reproduced. Further, a
deceleration sound data read position can be designated such that
when the car object is operated so as to start decelerating during
acceleration, deceleration sound data can be reproduced from a
position corresponding to a position where reproduction of the
acceleration sound data is stopped, whereby it is possible to
combine the acceleration sound data and the deceleration sound
data together so as not to result in unnatural sound data.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of processing seismic data in which one or more seismic vibrators are activated with one or more pilot signals and vibrator motions are recorded along with seismic data. Vibrator signatures are computed from measured vibrator motions, such as the ground force signal. A desired impulse response is specified from either a measured vibrator motion or from test data or field data from a location near the location from which the seismic data was acquired. A deconvolution filter is computed from the impulse response and the vibrator signature. Alternatively, a single separation and deconvolution filter is derived from the impulse response and from vibrator signatures from multiple vibrators and sweeps. The deconvolution or deconvolution and separation filter is used to process the seismic data. The vibrators are then moved to a new location, and the activation is repeated.

Abstract: Selon cette invention, un filtre de flux de données adaptatif élimine des interférences en bande étroite des trajets de retour d'une télévision par câble (CATV) avant que ces trajets ne soient combinés dans le réseau. L'invention concerne plus spécifiquement un procédé permettant d'éliminer des interférences en bande étroite du trajet de retour d'une télévision par câble, lequel détecte des interférences en bande étroite potentielles en temps réel et adapte un filtre afin d'éliminer ces interférences en bande étroite potentielles. Dans un mode de réalisation donné à titre d'exemple, le procédé susmentionné met en oeuvre des filtres créés précédemment, lesquels sont combinés en fonction des interférences détectées de façon adaptative afin de s'adapter continuellement à de nouvelles sources d'interférences. Dans un autre mode de réalisation donné à titre d'exemple, le procédé susmentionné calcule de nouveaux coefficients de filtre en fonction des interférences détectées. Dans un autre mode de réalisation encore, deux filtres fonctionnent en alternance pour chaque bande d'interférences identifiée comme au-dessus de la valeur seuil. Ceci permet la mise à jour d'un filtre alors que l'autre effectue l'opération de filtrage du flux de données.
