Abstract: Endpoint crashes in a real time communication system are detected by a home server providing presence and other services to the endpoint upon receipt of an error message from an access server between the endpoint and the home server. The home server uses a cookie inserted into a dialog between itself and the endpoint identifying the endpoint, a session state created by the access server identifying the endpoint, or a transaction state maintained by the home server to look up the endpoint associated with the error message. Race conditions occurring when an endpoint crashes and recovers rapidly can be avoided employing a timestamp or sequence number incremented for each new endpoint registration and comparing a current timestamp or sequence number to the stored one before updating records at the home server. By notifying other subscribers about crashed endpoints, routing fidelity is enhanced.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for encrypting data (105) by means of a first key (115), and a method and apparatus for decrypting encrypted data by means of a second key (185). The present invention alleviates the need for exact key information by allowing encryption of data (105) by means of a first key (115) and subsequent decryption of the encrypted data by means of a second key (185) without the need for the first key (115), provided that the first key (115) and the second key (185) form a sufficient estimate of an encryption/decryption key pair.

The encrypted data (124) may subsequently be decrypted by using multiple decryption keys (165) based on the second key (185), without the need for the first key (115), provided that the second key (185) forms a sufficient estimate of the first key (115).

Abstract: Given a set of training examples—with known inputs and outputs—and a set of working examples—with known inputs but unknown outputs—train a classifier on the training examples. For each possible assignment of outputs to the working examples, determine whether assigning the outputs to the working examples results in a training and working set that are likely to have resulted from the same distribution. If so, then add the assignment to a likely set of assignments. For each assignment in the likely set, compute the error of the trained classifier on the assignment. Use the maximum of these errors as a probably approximately correct error bound for the classifier.

Abstract: Software running on a processor is operable to control the cycled powering down and powering up of components of a self-service terminal (SST) in order to attempt to rectify a fault within the SST without the need to power down the SST core processor.

Abstract: A test system tests a full system integrated circuit (IC) model that includes a device under test (DUT) IC model and a support IC model. A test manager information handling system (IHS) maps the full system IC model on a hardware accelerator simulator via an interface bus. The hardware accelerator simulator thus emulates the full system IC model. Of all possible fault injection points in the model, the test manager IHS selects a subset of those injection points for fault injection via a statistical sampling method in one embodiment. In response to commands from the test manager IHS, the simulator serially injects faults into the selected fault injection points. The test manager IHS stores results for respective fault injections at the selected injection points. If a machine checkstop or silent data corruption error occurs as a result of an injected fault, the DUT IC model may return to a stored checkpoint and resume operation from the stored checkpoint.

Abstract: Enhancing a stream layer transmission for a MediaFLO™ mobile multimedia multicast system comprising a transmitter and a receiver. Code word (CW) computations are performed on a current channel being accessed by the receiver. A favorite channel that a user is statistically mostly likely to switch to on the receiver at any particular time is anticipated. The Overhead Information Symbols (OIS) for each favorite channel is periodically monitored. The receiver remains in a sleep mode while data bursts are received from non-favorite channels, and then wakes up during data bursts of the favorite channel. The same CW computations are performed on the favorite channel as were being performed on the current channel. A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is performed once the CW computations are performed upon selecting the favorite channel.

Abstract: A failure identification routine uses a two pass stack trace analysis in conjunction with a list of called types. As each method is called, a call list is generated with the called type, method, and various metadata. During the first pass stack trace analysis, each stack frame is analyzed to determine if the failed type is included in the stack frame. If so, the method associated with the frame is flagged as suspect. If the failed type is not found in the first stack trace, a second pass stack trace analysis is performed and an assembly associated with the method associated with the stack frame is analyzed to determine a set of types. The set of types are analyzed to find at least one match with the called types. If a match exists, the methods associated with the matched types are flagged as suspect.

Abstract: In order to correctly perform error analysis, test, or the like, a 64B/66B converter of a PCS processing unit of a transmitter conforming to 10 GBASE-R PHY performs 64B/66B conversion on data on a block basis that is transmitted over four lanes, the block being formed of two columns. In the conversion, when a control signal inputted via a control signal input terminal indicates a normal operation mode, if an error code in a block to be converted is detected by an error detector, error expansion that replaces all 8 bytes of data in the block with an error code /E/ is performed. In contrast, when the control signal indicates an analysis mode, the error expansion is not performed even if an error code is detected by the error detector.

The method comprises de-interleaving each sub-block of the codeword received at the turbo-decoder; and storing LLRs of the de-interleaved codeword LLRs into an input buffer.

This method obviates the need for storing the pre-determined LLRs at the punctured locations into the input buffer and thereby cuts down the input latency of turbo decoder significantly for higher code rates.

Abstract: A method for predicting and preventing uncorrectable errors that may occur while accessing memory in a computer system. The method involves detecting two or more correctable errors from two or more different physical addresses on each of two or more different bit positions from the same DIMM within a specified period of time, with all of the correctable errors occurring within the same checkword. The method also involves detecting two or more correctable errors from two or more different physical addresses on each of three or more different outputs from the same DRAM within a specified period of time, as long as the three outputs do not all correspond to the same relative bit position in their respective checkwords. This allows a computer system which encounters correctable errors to continue to reliably operate without the unnecessary replacement of functioning memory systems.

If new defective cell groups are identified, the memory array is identified as failing. If no new defective cell groups are identified, the memory array is identified as passing, and the identified defective cell groups are repaired.
