Title: Coded mimo systems with selective channel inversion applied per eigenmode
Inventor: MEDVEDEV IRINA
IPC: H04L1/06
Filed: 2003-08-19
Abstract: Techniques to perform selective channel inversion per eigenmode in a MIMO system to achieve high spectral efficiency while reducing complexity at both the transmitter and receiver are presented. The available transmission channels are arranged into a number of groups, where each group may include all transmission channels (or frequency bins) for a respective eigenmode of a MIMO channel. The total transmit power is allocated to the groups using a particular group power allocation scheme. Selective channel inversion is the n performed independently for each group selected for use for data transmissio n. For each such group, one or more transmission channels in the group are selected for use, and a scaling factor is determined for each selected chann el such that all selected channels for the group achieve similar received signa l quality (e.g., received SNR).

Title: Handheld electronic device with text disambiguation allowing dynamic expansion of input key associations
Inventor: FUX VADIUM
IPC: G06F3/02
Filed: 2005-08-31
Abstract: A handheld electronic device includes a reduced QWERTY keyboard and is enabled with disambiguation software. The device provides output in the form of a default output and a number of variants. The output is based largely upon the frequency, i.e., the likelihood that a user intended a particular output, but various features of the device provide additional variants that are not based solely on frequency and rather are provided by various logic structures resident on the device. The device enables editing during text entry and also provides a learning function that allows the disambiguation function to adapt to provide a customized experience for the user. The disambiguation function can be selectively disabled and an alternate keystroke interpretation system provided.  Additionally, the device can facilitate the selection of variants by displaying a graphic of a special < NEXT > key of the keypad that enables a user to progressively select variants generally without changing the position of the user's hands on the device. If a field into which text is being entered is determined to be a special input field, a disambiguated result can be sought first from a predetermined data source prior to seeking results from other data sources on the device.

IPC: G06F40/00
Filed: 2005-10-07
Abstract: Systems and methods are described that allow programmatic access to search engine results and query logs in a structured form. The search results can be retrieved from the search engine in an intermediary form that contains the information that is in the HTML pages provided to web browsers (potentially with additional information). This intermediary form can then be broken down on the client machine, using local resources, to assemble the structured objects. The library also provides for caching of the search results. This can be provided both on the local machine and on a remote database. When the results for a query exist in the caches, they can be retrieved from such location instead of querying the search engine. Documents and/or web pages can also be cached. The library can also be directed to operate only from the cache, effectively exposing a local data set instead of the remote search engine.
