Title: Providing a useable version of a data item
Inventor: GANESH AMIT
IPC: G06F12/00
Filed: 2003-04-29
Granted: 2010-04-20
Abstract: Techniques are provided for providing a data item to a transaction in a multi-versioning system in which the data item may exist on multiple versions of a data block, and were versioning is performed at the granularity of the data block. According to one aspect of the invention, the technique involves locating, within volatile memory, a first version of a data block that includes a first version of the data item. It is then determined whether the first version of the data item is usable by the transaction without respect to whether the first version of the data block is generally usable by the transaction. If the first version of the data item is usable by the transaction, then the data item is established as a candidate that can be provided to the transaction. Thus, the data item within a block may be considered a candidate to be provided to a transaction even when the version of the data block on which the data item resides would otherwise disqualify the data block from being seen by that transaction. If the first version of the data item is not usable by the transaction, then a version of the data item that is usable by the transaction is obtained from a second version of the data block that is different from the first version.

Title: Detection of channel quality indicator
Inventor: DICK STEPHEN G
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2003-12-02
Granted: 2010-11-16
Abstract: A method for improving the reliability of a channel quality indicator (CQI) (102, 106 Fig. 3) message in a wireless communications network begins with receipt of the CQI message. The CQI message is then decoded, and a decision metric value for each symbol in the CQI message is computed. A largest decision metric value and a second largest decision metric value for the CQI message are determined. The reliability of the CQI message can be determined by comparing the two largest decision metric values. This method may be applicable to high-speed downlink packet access in time division duplex, frequency division duplex, or other modes of transmission.

Title: Frequency-based coding of audio channels in parametric multi-channel coding systems
Inventor: FALLER CHRISTOF
IPC: G10L19/00
Filed: 2005-02-23
Granted: 2012-11-27
Abstract: For a multi-channel audio signal, parametric coding is applied to different subsets of audio input channels for different frequency regions. For example, for a 5.1 surround sound signal having five regular channels and one low-frequency (LFE) channel, binaural cue coding (BCC) can be applied to all six audio channels for sub-bands at or below a specified cut-off frequency, but to only five audio channels (excluding the LFE channel) for sub-bands above the cut-off frequency. Such frequency-based coding of channels can reduce the encoding and decoding processing loads and/or size of the encoded audio bitstream relative to parametric coding techniques that are applied to all input channels over the entire frequency range.

Abstract: A vacuum controlled valve mechanism providing two separate one-way valves, one for each of a pair of collapsible fluid containing reservoirs with each valve being in an initial sealed condition preventing flow therethrough until by operation of the pump mechanism a threshold vacuum is exceeded and with the threshold vacuum of a first of the valves being greater than the threshold vacuum of the other, second of the valves. When the threshold vacuum of the first valve is exceeded, that first valve separately permits dispensing of fluid from its reservoir under vacuum conditions less than the threshold vacuum of the first valve and the second valve until the first reservoir is substantially empty after which further operation of the pump mechanism creates a vacuum which exceeds the threshold vacuum for the second valve after which the second valve permits dispensing of fluid from the second reservoir.

Abstract: In a fuel cell system including a stack of polymer electrolyte fuel cells, the wet state of electrolyte membranes in the fuel cell stack is detected according to a variation in measurement value of an alternating current impedance (AC impedance) of the fuel cell stack.  In an adequate level of water content of the electrolyte membranes, the measurement value of the AC impedance is substantially constant and has a very little variation. In an excess level of water content of the electrolyte membranes, the measurement value of the AC  impedance has a significant variation. The AC impedance of the fuel cell stack is determinable by frequency analysis of high-frequency noise generated by an inverter included in the fuel cell system.
