  • Publication number: 20210410090
    Abstract: Disclosed herein, among other things, are methods and apparatus for providing a time-stamp based controller for synchronization of sink or source sampling rate with external packet rate. A method for wireless communications includes receiving a transmission of a packet using a wireless transceiver of an electronic device, and using a processor of the electronic device to read a first value of a system timer and store the first value as an arrival time-stamp. The packet is decoded and processed by the processor, and sent to an output. When the processed packet is sent, a second value of the system timer is read, adjusted and stored as a departure time-stamp. The arrival time-stamp and the departure time-stamp are used to calculate an adjustment stimulus for a sample rate actuator of the electronic device. The sample rate actuator is configured to maintain synchronization of sampling rate with an external packet rate.

  • Publication number: 20210190894
    Abstract: A navigation system is disclosed. In embodiments, the navigation system includes one or more transmitting devices configured to generate one or more transmission signals by performing one or more frequency-modulation operations on a carrier signal to encode communication data onto the carrier signal, and performing one or more amplitude-modulation operations on the carrier signal to encode navigational data onto the carrier signal. In embodiments, the one or more transmitting devices are further configured to transmit the one or more transmission signals to one or more receiving devices, wherein a receiving device of the one or more receiving devices is configured to extract the navigational data from the one or more transmission signals and determine a position of the receiving device based at least in part on the extracted navigational data.

  • Patent number: 11003641
    Abstract: Database systems are subject to automatic troubleshooting. Query execution data for individual queries executed by a database system can be collected. The query execution data can be evaluated automatically in conjunction with one or more detection metrics to determine whether or not a potential performance issue exists. After detection of a potential issue, the query execution data can be analyzed further to determine one or more causes by matching query execution data to one or more patterns that encode candidate causes. Subsequently, a root cause amongst multiple causes is determined based on causal dependency. Corrective action associated with a root cause can also be determined and optionally applied automatically.
