Title: Dialing system and method thereof
Inventor: LUK TAI WAI
IPC: H04M1/26
Filed: 2009-09-03
Abstract: A dialing system includes a user interactive unit, a response receiver and a central processing unit. The central processing unit is pre-programmed to first activate the user interactive unit to communicate an entry identification to the user for allowing the user to determine whether or not the entry identification communicated by the user interactive unit matches with the entry identification of the target phone number, wherein when the entry identification communicated by the unit interactive unit does not match with the entry identification of the target phone number, the user interactive unit is arranged to communicate the next identification entry to the user without dialing the corresponding phone number, and when the entry identification communicated by the user interactive unit matches with the entry identification of the target phone number, the central processing unit is arranged to activate the phone to dial the target phone number.

Title: A transmit-receive switch in which biasing of off-transistor switches is based upon acceptable levels of spurious harmonic emissions and linearity
Inventor: HUANG CHUN-WEN PAUL
IPC: H03K17/687
Filed: 2011-04-13
Abstract: This invention relates to high power switches such as transmit-receive switches. In one embodiment a single pole double thro switch (SPDT) is provided. The apparatus comprises at least a first transistor switch 220 for switching in the transmitter and a second transistor switch 230 for switching in the receiver. There may be additional shunt transistor switches 240, 250. Each transistor switch may comprise a plurality of transistors connected in series and within each transistor switch the sources and drains are connected to a common bias voltage. The voltage to source/drain bias voltage (Vgsd) of a transistor switch in the "off state is less than that of a transistor switch in the "on" state, but only to the extent necessary to bring spurious harmonic emissions of the off-transistor below a pre-identified upper limit, or to bring a linearity of the high power switch above a predefined threshold. The bias voltages may be obtained by using two potential dividers 260/460, 270/470, each divider being tapped at two different points to provide two bias voltages (CTx and CTx0, or CRx0 and CRx1), each a different fraction of a control voltage, HI or LO. Preferably, the on-state Vgsd lies in the range 2.0-2.5V and the off-state Vgsd lies in the range 1.1-1.5V.

Title: Directional gate valve
Inventor: PAULO PAULO CEZAR SILVA
IPC: F16K3/314
Filed: 2009-12-11
Abstract: A directional gate valve is disclosed. The gate valve comprises a valve body. A first flow path, a second flow path and a third flow path are positioned in the valve body. The second and third flow paths are capable of fluidly communicating with the first flow path through a connecting flow configuration. A gate is positioned within the gate valve at a location separate from the connecting flow configuration. The gate is configured to move back and forth between a first position and a second position in the valve body. When the gate is in the first position the gate provides fluid communication through the second flow path and simultaneously blocks fluid communication through the third flow path. When the gate is in the second position the gate provides fluid communication through the third flow path and simultaneously blocks fluid communication through the second flow path.

Title: Monitoring of pulse width modulation control
Inventor: WOOD ANTHONY JOHN
IPC: H05B44/00
Filed: 2011-09-28
Abstract: A pulse width modulation control monitoring apparatus 31 is provided. Input means 33 receives at least one pulse width modulated control input signal 34, 35. If a plurality of input signals are provided, these are combined into a single signal 36 by a logical OR operation. Edge detection means 37 then detects edges of the or the combined pulse width modulated control signal and generates and output signal 39 that is indicative of the detected edges. A timer 41 determines whether the period between the detected edges exceeds a predetermined threshold, which is indicative of an error in the or one of the pulse width modulated control input signals. An alarm signal 43 is then generated to shut down the pulse width modulated control to avoid potential damage caused, for example, by excessive current in a power supply.

Title: Scheduling in big and little cores based on interrupt policy
Inventor: DAVIS MARK C
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2013-05-16
Abstract: In a multi-core chip with core of different sizes, determining if an interrupt is directed to a bigger core (high power) 640 or a littler core (low power) 620 is based on a policy 610 for scheduling interrupts. The policy comprises an operational history of interrupts with saturation and frequency profiles. The littler core is selected if: the saturation profile indicates that the interrupt does not saturate the littler core, the frequency profile indicates that the interrupt does not occur over a threshold frequency, or the interrupt has not been specially designated. During boot-up, interrupts are masked from big cores. Predictive learning can be used where new tasks without execution history are started in big cores. Other parameters taken into account are: percentage of core utilization, processing performance ratio of littler to bigger cores, how long tasks run on a core and their priority, programmers hints or flags.

Title: Scalability improvement in a system which incrementally updates clients with events that occurred in a cloud-based collaboration platform
Inventor: MACKENZIE DAVID
IPC: G06Q10/10
Filed: 2014-07-30
Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for improving scalability in a system which incrementally updates remote clients with events that occurred in a cloud-based platform. A method comprises, in response to an action from a user in the cloud-based platform, determining a list of events to update collaborators of the user about the action. This may be determining the collaborators to be notified of the action or to receive the file/data change as a result of the action. The method further comprises separating the list of events (e.g. 500 collaborators) into a plurality of sub-lists of events, or chunks, such that each sub-list of events (e.g. 100 collaborators) can be stored in a database 460 within a designated amount of time, and further comprises storing the plurality of sub-lists of events into the database 460 to be read by the collaborators. Among other advantages, embodiments disclosed herein provide enhancement in scalability, robustness and availability for cloud-based collaboration platforms with large numbers of collaborators by incorporating mechanisms to divide-and-conquer the workload of event updates in such platforms. Furthermore, the techniques increase the likelihood of successful writes of the events into the database.
