  • Patent number: 8065607
    Abstract: A system and method for automatically mapping of hypertext input fields to software components. The system includes a hypertext preprocessor, a name-space manager, a data handler, and a component manager. The hypertext preprocessor examines the hypertext input field names and uses the name-space manager and component manager to determine the mapping between input field names and software component properties. When the hypertext page is rendered, the name-space manager registers the mapping between each submitted input field and the corresponding component property. When the input data is submitted, the data handler uses the name-space manager to find the component property for each submitted input field and uses the component manager to convert the data to the correct type before calling the appropriate component method to set the property value.

  • Patent number: 7877192
    Abstract: A rotational speed parameter is detected in accordance with a rotational speed of the engine. A reference value of the rotational speed parameter is calculated. For each cylinder, an error between the reference value and the rotational speed parameter detected every predetermined crank angle is calculated as a relative speed parameter. For each cylinder, an integrated value is calculated by integrating the relative speed parameters over a predetermined period. For each cylinder, an average value per cylinder of the sum of the integrated values of all the cylinders is calculated. For each cylinder, an error between the integrated value of the cylinder and the average value is calculated. For each cylinder, the output of the engine is controlled in accordance with the error calculated for the cylinder such that variations in the output between the cylinders are suppressed.

  • Patent number: 7865201
    Abstract: A HARQ data reception scheme for a multiradio communication device is disclosed. The communication device operates multiple radio connections and monitors interference level caused to a target radio connection by at least one other radio connection operated in the communication device. A data packet and at least one retransmission data packet are received with the target radio connection. The utilization of the received data packet and the at least one received retransmission data packet in a hybrid automatic repeat request data reception is determined according to the interference level at the time instant associated with the reception of the corresponding data packet. Under high interference, the received data packet may be discarded, and detected and decoded data packets may be weighted for the HARQ combining according to the interference levels associated with the data packets.
