Abstract: Described is a mechanism for allowing new functionality for an
object to be expressed as a property that is not built into the class from which the
object derives. More specifically, the mechanism associates properties in one class
with another class. A computer-readable medium, that includes an object having a
property in a first set of properties, further includes a data structure. The data
structure includes definitions for each of a second set of properties and includes at
least one static method. The static method is associated with one property out of the
second set of properties and includes a first parameter. The first parameter uniquely
identifies the one property. The static method is operative to associate the one
property with the object without specifying an explicit reference to the one property
in the object. The property is registered during run-time in order to receive the
unique identifier.

Abstract: A digital matched filter receives an input signal in
natural order, correlates the input signal against a code
and generates a filtered output signal in a permuted order
with respect to the input signal. The code is a
factorization of a first and second patterns. The filter
includes a first filter to correlate against the first code
and a second filter to correlate against the second
pattern. A memory is included to store intermediate values
produced from the first filter correlation operation.
Certain ones of the intermediate values are selectively
retrieved from memory in accordance with a unique
addressing scheme for each second filter correlation
operation. More specifically, the addressing scheme allows
retrieved intermediate values to be reused in successive
second filter correlations. The permuted order outputs of
the filter are of no concern in many applications, like
cell searching, where buffering is available.
