Patent EP-1182816-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CHOI JIHWAN PATRICK
IPC: G10L19/02
Filed: 2001-08-20
Abstract: Channel error protection is provided for a source coded bit stream in a
communication system by a combination of outer channel coding and inner channel
coding implemented across different network layers of the system. One or more of a
number of different portions of the source coded bit stream are outer channel coded in
a first network layer of the system, e.g., an application layer, using a designated outer
channel code, so as to provide an outer channel coded bit stream having different levels
of error protection for each of the different portions of the source coded bit stream. The
outer channel coded bit stream is then inner channel coded in a second network layer
of the system, e.g., a physical layer, using a designated inner channel code to thereby
generate a channel coded bit stream. The channel coded bit stream may then be subject
to further processing operations prior to transmission in the communication system.
Advantageously, the invention allows unequal channel error protection to be provided
for source coded audio, image, video or multimedia bit streams in a standard second
generation (2G) or third generation (3G) wireless system in a manner which is
independent of the physical layer coding infrastructure of the system.

Abstract: A variable valve actuation (VVA) system (10/210) includes a camshaft (20), having a lobe (22) thereon. A valve (30/230) terminates in a stem end (34/234), and is moveable between open and closed positions along its own longitudinal axis, where the valve is biased toward the closed position. A bucket tappet (40/240) includes a lifter plate (41/241) having a middle portion (44/244) for engaging the lobe of the camshaft on a camshaft side (46/246) of the lifter plate, and for engaging the stem end of the valve on a valve side (48/248) of the lifter plate. The lifter plate includes end portions (50/250/252) on either side of the middle portion, and is translatable by rotation of the lobe of the camshaft to cause movement of the valve along its longitudinal axis toward the open position. Finally, a pivoting device (70/72/80/270) is in engagement with at least one of the end portions of the lifter plate, for pivoting the lifter plate toward the lobe for early engagement therewith, and for pivoting the lifter plate away from the lobe for delayed engagement therewith. The early engagement causes the valve to open prematurely, and the delayed engagement causes the valve to open belatedly.

Title: Procede et dispositif de prelecture de logiciels au moyen d'instructions de lecture non generatrices d'exception (non-faulting loads)
Inventor: DAMRON PETER C
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2001-08-01
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant de modifier un code afin de masquer efficacement le temps de latence de la mémoire principale par une prélecture logicielle comprenant instructions de lecture non génératrices d'exception (non-faulting loads). Pendant l'exécution du code une prélecture commandée par logiciel des données de la mémoire principale dans une antémémoire locale est effectuée à un moment quelconque précédant le moment où les données sont demandées par l'UC. L'UC récupère alors les données demandées dans l'antémémoire locale ce qui lui évite d'être confrontée directement au temps de latence de la mémoire. Les instructions de lecture non génératrices d'exception assurent la sécurité et augmentent la flexibilité accrue en permettant une exécution plus précoce de l'opération de prélecture, car elles permettent de réduire les problèmes liés aux erreurs de segmentation, en particulier lors du traitement de structures de données liées. Le temps de latence de l'accès mémoire auquel l'UC est confrontée est par conséquent principalement le temps de latence correspondant à l'accès à l'antémémoire. Etant donné que cette durée latence et beaucoup plus faible que la durée de latence résultant d'une erreur de lecture en antémémoire, la performance globale du système est améliorée.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of operating a computer network with fault-tolerant nodes, comprising determining the state of a first and second link between fault-tolerant nodes and other network nodes. Data sent by the fault-tolerant node to other nodes may then be sent over a link that is selected based on the state of the first and second links. In some embodiments of the invention this takes place in an intermediate node in a network, which receives data from an originating node and forwards it to a destination node via a link selected based on the state of the first and second links. In some further embodiments of the invention, fault-tolerant nodes contain network status tables that indicate the ability of the fault tolerant node to receive data from and transmit data to other nodes via each of the links connected to the fault-tolerant nodes.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided to smooth a jagged outline of a reconstructed text generated through any of a variety of systems, such as, for example, an image scanner (11). Given the reconstructe d text with a jagged outline, the methods smooth the outline of the text first through location of horizontal and vertical edges (31), and subsequent gray scale reconstruction of the edge ink level from a one-bit or a low number of bits edge pattern. The methods then provide identification of the local text outline pattern and corresponding ink level adjustment of the center pixel. The methods produce text having very smooth horizontal and vertical edges. The methods then smooth slanted edges, mend holes in the text, and remove isolated pixels of ink (32).

embodiment, the drain region of the lateral DMOS transistor
is separated from the body region by a first distance in the
rectilinear region necessary to achieve a first breakdown
voltage, and separated by a second distance in the curved

distance. In another embodiment, the gate partially
overlies the field oxide region by a third distance in the
rectilinear region and by a fourth distance in the curved
