Abstract: A method, implemented by a compiler, for removing a store-load dependency from a critical path utilizes a compare address operation to determine at run time whether dependency actual exists. The operand to be stored is held in a temporary register and provided directly to the operations, using load operation result, in dependence on the value of the compare address operation result, so that the dependency is removed.

Abstract: A system including a method for navigating between dimensions and domains allows for an interactive response to a query based on data stored in at least one online transaction processing (OLTP) database structure and data stored in at least one online analysis processing (OLAP) database structure. The system includes a dimension to domain server which interacts with a user interface client that presents, to a user, representations of elements of the OLTP database structure and representations of elements of the OLAP database structure, wherein the user interface client also includes logic to accept a selection of representations of elements selected by the user and, if the selection comprises more than one element, an association among the elements in the selection.

Abstract: A computer controlled group of programmer sites are provided to burn in or enter operating code into various types of programmable electronic devices, such as programmable memories, programmable logic devices (or PLD's), field programmable gate arrays (or FPGA's), and the like. The programmer sites are conned to a central controller and operate under control of the central controller, typically personal computer. Each programmer site includes its own computer processor or CPU. Initially for a production run of a particular type of device, one of the programmer sites serves as a master site. At the master site, an optimized control sequence for the device is developed in conjunction with the central controller. Once this is achieved, the optimal sequence is broadcast to all programmer sites connected to the central controller.

Abstract: An absorbent fiber is constructed to include a hydrophobic exterior and a hydrophilic interior for use in various absorbent constructions as an absorbent, capture and entrain liquids and attendant odors.

Abstract: A method and system for migrating a computing environment from a source computing platform to a destination computing platform. A script defines at least one software system or application stored on the source computing platform. The script is parsed by a scripting engine to resolve specific user-selectable settings of each source software system or application. Genetic data is generated to represent the resolved settings of the source software systems and/or applications. The genetic data is then selectively applied to corresponding software systems or applications stored on the destination computing platform to automatically provide similar settings thereon.

Abstract: Improved methods and systems for generating quantized filter coefficients for a desired filter response are provided. One embodiment provides a technique that can be used to quantize the coefficients of finite impulse-response filters in a way that results in better performance than would be possible using simple truncation or rounding. The technique can be applied, e.g., to highpass, lowpass, or bandpass filters.

Abstract: A domain name server assists user's in selecting desired domains in the Internet. A domain name query is sent from a resolver process, or equivalent process, when the user (or a process on the user's computer) wishes to obtain information. If the domain name exists, the domain name server provides the corresponding machine address back to the user's computer. However, when the domain name query uses a non-existent domain name then a machine address for a computer that executes a domain recommendation engine is returned instead of a machine address associated with the invalid domain. The domain recommendation engine assists the user (or process on the user's computer) in locating a desired domain name. The domain name recommendation engine can take into account numerous factors that assist in determining the intended domain, including common misspellings, phonetic errors, sub-domain errors, past statistics on website accessing by the present user and prior users.
