Title: Compressing copy pointers to a history buffer using variable length code tables
Inventor: JAQUETTE GLEN ALAN
IPC: H03M7/30
Filed: 2012-07-20
Abstract: A determination is made as to whether at least two consecutive data units in an input data stream match consecutive data units in a history buffer 112 of previously received data units. If so, a copy pointer symbol is generated referencing previously received data units and indicating the determined number of consecutive data units. A relative displacement count at which the match starts is determined and a compression encoding of the count is performed using variable length code tables 118, 120 (e.g. Huffman tables) for inclusion in the copy pointer. The variable length code tables may include a prefix indicating a number of bits used to indicate the displacement count (see figures 7-9). A minimum displacement variable length code table 120 may be used for the case where the number of consecutive data units is a minimum (two) and the relative displacement count is less than a predetermined value.

Patent GB-2506436-A (GB)
Title: Cyclonic separator with silencer
Inventor: ROBERTSON JAMES STUART
IPC: A47L9/00
Filed: 2012-10-01
Abstract: A cyclonic separator for a vacuum cleaner that comprises a cyclone stage (3, fig 1), a chamber 4 and a silencer 31. The chamber 4 comprises a plurality of ports 30 through which fluid discharged from the cyclone stage (3, fig 1) enters the chamber 4. The silencer 31 is located in the chamber 4 and comprises a plurality of baffles (34, fig 5). Fluid entering the chamber 4 through one of the ports 30 collides with a first side of one of the baffles (34, fig 5) and fluid entering the chamber through another of the ports 30 collides with a second opposite side of the one of the baffles (34, fig 5). The baffles (34, fig 5) thus act to reduce fluid from the two ports 30 colliding with one another and as a result reduce noise and a quieter cyclonic separator may be achieved.

Title: Control strategy for heated fluid lines
Inventor: MCCOY DARIN J
IPC: B01D53/94
Filed: 2011-03-22
Abstract: A control strategy selectively controls the heating of fluid lines (128) equipped with line heaters (130) that may be utilized with a selective catalytic reduction system (120). The control strategy measures a tank temperature representative of reductant agent in a storage tank (124) and a representative ambient temperature representative of an ambient temperature proximate the fluid line (128). The control strategy determines a lowest possible reductant agent temperature ("LPRAT") based on the measured tank temperature and representative ambient temperature. The LPRAT is compared with a desired reductant agent temperature and, in response to the comparison, the control strategy may activate the line heater (128).

Filed: 2014-12-22
Abstract: A method for providing elapsed time indications for source code in a development environment by defining blocks of source code to be timed during source code execution, monitoring defined blocks of source code during execution to determine an elapsed time for the execution of the defined block of source code, recording the elapsed time for a defined block and providing an indication of the elapsed time for the defined block. The source code may be represented abstractly and the elapsed time indication may be an annotation of this abstract. The source code may be executed and analyzed multiple times, including calculating an average elapsed time and/or standard deviation for the defined block. An alert may be used if the elapsed duration is outside a range or threshold. The monitoring may take place during parsing of the source code. The method may be reset when the source code is run in a different hardware environment.
