Abstract: A method and apparatus for fail-safe start-up circuit for subthreshold current sources have been disclosed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing unwanted radiation from a light fixture have been disclosed.

Abstract: A network comprising a server and a remote client including an input output pin is disclosed. The server and the client are connected through a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection. The server controls the client input output pin, e.g., switches it on and off. The input output pin control instruction is transmitted from the server to the client. The control instruction is not stored in the client memory upon its execution.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for a connection manager have been disclosed. By providing for persistent connections with clients, the connection manager allows for servers to communicate with clients, which would otherwise be inaccessible.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for fast PLL initialization have been disclosed where control of a VCO is based on a selected control signal which is based upon either a comparison signal or a prespecified signal.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for adaptive buffer management for traffic optimization on switches have been disclosed where pattern injection and traffic monitoring with forced congestion allows optimizing buffers while accounting for actual system delays.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for selective packet discard have been disclosed where two bits are added to a packet to indicate various discard options.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for cache management of distributed objects have been disclosed. A query strategy, based on a fetch strategy and a merge strategy, may be used to query a database and reconcile data in a local cache. In one approach, a merge action depends upon whether an entity was added, deleted, or changed relative to the original version of the entity as it was last fetched.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for partitioning high-dimension vectors for use in a massive index have been disclosed. Using an initial guess on a collection of vectors, the vectors are examined. If the collection is not empty then dividing the collection until a collection contains a single vector or contains two vectors then transforming the two vectors into a majorize result and transforming the result into a graphical representation for a user.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include methods for wide bandwidth synthesizer circuits and methods. In one embodiment, the present invention includes a frequency synthesizer comprising a multiplexer and a band group selector. The multiplexer is coupled to receive a plurality of sinusoidal signals. Each sinusoidal signal has a unique frequency. The band group selector selects between a plurality of band groups. The band group selector is coupled to receive a first signal from the multiplexer. The multiplexer multiplexes between the plurality of sinusoidal signals and provides the first signal. The band group selector includes a band mixer. The band mixer mixes the first signal with a band signal having a band frequency. The band signal corresponds to a band group selected from the plurality of band groups. The band group selector provides a transmitter mixer signal and a receiver mixer signal.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for cached adaptive transforms for compressing data streams, computing similarity, and recognizing patterns have been disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention an encoder and decoder begin with a baseline transform. As data is transferred an algorithm is arranged so that the encoder and decoder adapt toward a superior basis than the baseline, with a corresponding reduction in the encoding bit rate. That is the algorithm adapts to the incoming data stream and can use a custom basis. We deliberately avoid having to send the custom basis itself (when possible), because sending the basis vectors consumes precious bandwidth and may defeat the goal of compression. The encoder and decoder can bootstrap themselves into using one or more better bases. In one embodiment of the invention there is no beginning baseline transform shared between the encoder and the decoder.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include circuits and methods for improving the spectral purity of mixer circuits. In one embodiment the present invention includes a mixer circuit comprising a first transistor having a gate, a source and a drain, a second transistor having a gate, a source and a drain, a first capacitance coupled between the source of the first transistor and the source of the second transistor and a bias circuit having an input, a first output coupled to the source of the first transistor and a second output coupled to the source of the second transistor. The present invention may be advantageously used in a wireless transmitter application.
