  • Patent number: 8593227
    Abstract: A circuit includes a controllable oscillator and a controller coupled to the controllable oscillator. The controller is configured to provide a current control and a gain control to the controllable oscillator. The gain control is configured to change a gain of the controllable oscillator during a calibration process.

  • Patent number: 8544806
    Abstract: A system for mounting an item to a wall is provided comprising a plurality of stakes, each stake having a proximal end and a distal end and an extension member there between, and each stake comprising a hook at the proximal end and a piercing element at the distal end. At least one stake comprises an extension member having a uniform width, and at least one stake comprises an extension member having a width greater than the width of the hook such that when a plurality of stakes are positioned adjacent each other within the wall, the plurality of hooks functions as a single hanger upon which the item to be hung may be suspended on the wall.

  • Publication number: 20070019866
    Abstract: Systems, methods and media for transitioning compression levels of a streaming image system are disclosed. One embodiment provides a method for transitioning compression levels between image frames in a streaming image system. Embodiments may include receiving by a smoothing module a request for a new compression level associated with an image frame. Embodiments may also generally include performing by the smoothing module a smoothing heuristic by generating a multi-frame smoothing routine based on an initial compression level, a target compression level, and a number of frames to achieve the target compression level. Embodiments may also include setting by the smoothing module the new compression level for the image frame based on the generated multi-frame smoothing routine. Further embodiments may include transmitting by the smoothing module an indication of the new compression level to a content encoder.

  • Publication number: 20070022217
    Abstract: Systems, methods and media for managing an interactive streaming image system are disclosed. More particularly, hardware and/or software for generating, encoding, and transmitting image frames to an interactive client are disclosed. One embodiment provides a method for streaming images from a server to a client. Embodiments may include receiving from the client via a network client information and generating a new image frame based on the received client information. Embodiments may also include comparing the new image frame and a previous image frame and setting a new compression level based on the comparison between the new image frame and the previous image frame. Embodiments may also include encoding the new image frame based on the new compression level and transmitting the encoded new image frame and an indication of the new compression level to the client via the network.

  • Patent number: 5249206
    Abstract: A quad oscillator fault-tolerant clock system for a computer complex comprises two clock sources at each of two computer locations, which are coupled by two duplex links. Each clock source supplies its own clock signal to the other clock source at the same location as well as to the clock sources at the other location over one of the duplex links coupling the two locations. Each clock source continually measures the phase difference between its clock signal and each of the other three clock signals. Periodically, the propagation delay for each link is calculated by taking the average of the phase differences measured by the clock sources driving the two ends of that link. These calculated propagation delays are supplied to each individual clock source, which corrects the phase differences measured by it for the propagation delays.
