Title: Data constraints for polyglot data tiers
Inventor: Luca Costabello
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2015-04-29
Abstract: A Data Constraint Engine (100) for enforcing data constraints in a polyglot data tier (20) having a plurality of database-specific data stores (21, 22, 23) of various types such as an RDBMS (21), a Triplestore (22), and a MongoDB (23). The Data Constraint Engine uses the concept of a unified data model based on "records" in order to allow data constraints to be defined (using so-called "record shapes") in a store-agnostic way. The Data Constraint Engine includes APIs (130) for processing incoming requests from remote clients (30) relating to data in the polyglot data tier, for example a request to create or update data in a data store. The APIs extract, from such a request, a record corresponding to the data specified in the request and a data source identifier identifying the data store holding the specified data. Then, on the basis of the record extracted by the interface, an appropriate record shape is extracted from a shapes catalogue (110), the record shape determining the structure of the record. Validators (120) each validate the record against the record shape according to various criteria, such as format, data type, cardinality and slot count. If the record is validated, a record dispatcher (140) directs the specified data to the appropriate data store using the data source identifier. Data read from a data store can be validated in the same way.

IPC: H02J17/00
Filed: 2013-12-19
Abstract: Provided is a parameter derivation method for deriving a parameter for a wireless power transmission system that transmits power from a power transmission device to a power receiving device via electric field coupling, the parameter including a coupling coefficient (ke) for an electric field coupling unit constituted by an active electrode and a passive electrode in a power transmission device and a power receiving device.

Title: Method and apparatus for extending coverage in a wireless communication system
Inventor: WAYNE M PHANG
IPC: H04W88/04
Filed: 2014-07-28
Abstract: A first radio receives, via a land mobile radio (LMR) radio frequency transceiver, a first transmission of an LMR call from a source transmitting radio transmitted on a first LMR frequency for re-transmission to one or more destination radios. The first radio measures a first measured signal level of the first transmission and receives, via a first short-range RF transceiver from a second radio, a second measured signal level of the first transmission as measured by the second radio. The first radio compares the first measured signal level and the second measured signal level and determines, based on the comparing, how the LMR call should be routed from the source transmitting radio to the one or more destination radios via the first and second radios. The first radio then transmits, via the first short-range RF transceiver, a corresponding instruction indicating a result of the determining to the second radio.

Title: Systems and methods of configuring a filter having at least two frequency response configurations
Inventor: Jaimin Mehta
IPC: H03H17/02
Filed: 2016-05-20
Abstract: A digital filter with an adjustable frequency response A digital filter for audio signals is alternated at a high rate between two frequency response configurations to achieve an intermediate frequency response. The controller 302,304 provides a pulse width modulated signal to the multiplexer 312, which switches between the two configurations to obtain a weighted average frequency response in the filter. The counter 302 and delta-sigma modulator 304 provide a gradual transition of the intermediate frequency response, which reduces audio artefacts. The technique may be used to change the cut-off frequency of high pass filters (11, figure 1) in a microphone circuit when a plosive event, which is a very large transient input, is detected. The cutoff frequency may be raised quickly from 2 Hz and then restored gradually in steps to 2Hz.

Filed: 2015-03-10
Abstract: An apparatus for coupling to capacitors to form a charge pump includes first and second sets of switch elements, and a controller. Switches in the first set couple terminals of capacitors to permit charge transfer between them. Switches in the second set couple terminals of at least some of the capacitors to either a high-voltage or a low-voltage terminal.
