  • Patent number: 8244512
    Abstract: The debug system described in this patent specification provides a system that generates hardware elements from normally non-synthesizable code elements for placement on an FPGA device. This particular FPGA device is called a Behavior Processor. This Behavior Processor executes in hardware those code constructs that were previously executed in software. When some condition is satisfied (e.g., If . . . then . . . else loop) which requires some intervention by the workstation or the software model, the Behavior Processor works with an Xtrigger device to send a callback signal to the workstation for immediate response.

  • Patent number: 8239888
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method for monitoring audio-video (AV) streams transported over a network. The system may include at least one AV probe configured for installation at a network node. The at least one AV probe may be configured to receive an incoming AV stream at a native frame rate and to capture at least one thumbnail of the incoming AV stream at a sampling rate which is less than the native frame rate to form a thumbnail stream. The at least one AV probe may be further configured to timestamp and transmit the thumbnail stream, and to forward the incoming AV stream substantially in real-time. The system may further include at least one monitoring engine operatively connected with the at least one AV probe, the at least one monitoring engine configured to receive the thumbnail stream, capture AV data from the thumbnail stream, and transform the AV data into a visual representation of AV stream quality of experience (QoE).

  • Patent number: 8229733
    Abstract: There are provided methods and apparatus for linguistic independent parsing and for dynamic learning in natural language systems. A parsing method for a natural language system includes the step of parsing an input phrase to identify at least one source phrase within the input phrase for which replacement phrase synonyms exist. The method further includes the step of substituting the replacement phrase synonyms in place of the identified at source phrase, in descending order by text length, to provide a modified input phrase. The method also includes the step of repeating the parsing and substituting steps until no more source phrases exist or a pre-specified number of times.

  • Patent number: 8209268
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for variant string matching. A computer implemented method for variant string matching may comprise comparing with a computing device two unidentical strings in a training variant string pair. The two unidentical strings may represent the same item from training data, which may be stored in a memory. The two unidentical strings may be compared to determine if they include an identical substring pair, and a first unidentical substring pair. The computer implemented method may also determine if the first unidentical substring pair includes a first unidentical substring and a second unidentical substring. The computer implemented method may further determine if the first unidentical substring pair is in the training data. The first unidentical substring pair may be entered into the training data as a first variant string pair if it is not in the training data.

  • Patent number: 8196542
    Abstract: A towing apparatus comprises a structural assembly extending between opposing first and second bases for pivoting between operating and stored positions. A locking assembly includes a pin in each base and a hook carried at opposing ends of the structural assembly. A cam is pivotally connected to the hook for movement between locked and released positions. In the locked position, the hook is secured to the pin for preventing rotation of the structural assembly. In the released position, the hook is spaced from the pin to permit rotation of the structural assembly. The hook is rotatable with the cam from the released position to adjacent the pin by rotation of a shaft and slidable along the pin into the locking position by a continued shaft rotation. A cable is attached between the base and a spring within the structural assembly for biasing the structural assembly toward the operating position.
