  • System and method for detecting status changes in a network using virtual coordinate mapping
    Patent number: 7979537
    Abstract: A system and method for scalable status change detection in a network of nodes includes embedding node coordinate positions into a virtual map environment. A cluster of nodes are represented with a representative node to form a hierarchy of nodes and clusters where changes in a status of the representative node imply a status change in the nodes of the cluster. By selectively monitoring the representative nodes for the changes in status, the representative nodes create a capability for scalable monitoring of the network.

  • Drain-pumped sub-harmonic mixer for millimeter wave applications
    Patent number: 7962114
    Abstract: A sub-harmonic mixer includes a first transistor having a source and a drain and a second transistor having a source connected to the source of the first transistor and a drain connected to the drain of the first transistor. A mixing transistor is configured to be biased in a linear operating region. The mixing transistor includes a drain coupled to the sources of the first transistor and the second transistor. The mixing transistor has its drain driven by a signal at twice a local oscillator (LO) frequency and its gate driven by a radio frequency (RF) signal while the mixing transistor is biased in the linear region such that a process of frequency doubling and mixing are performed simultaneously.

  • Using separate recording channels for speech-to-speech translation systems
    Patent number: 7953590
    Abstract: A system and method for speech-to-speech translation using a translation system includes designating separate input channels for each of a plurality of speakers. In response to speech from a first channel in a first language, the speech from the first channel is translated to a second language, and in response to speech from the second channel in a second language, the speech from the second channel is translated to the first language. Translating the speech from the first channel and translating the speech from the second channel are performed concurrently.

  • Method and system for supporting dynamic stream attributes
    Patent number: 7944864
    Abstract: A publisher-subscriber system includes a broker configured to receive and distribute at least one data stream from publishers to subscribers in accordance with subscriptions. An annotator/classifier is configured to annotate or classify the data stream by employing one or more additional stream-level attributes to create an annotated data stream wherein the annotated data stream applies the stream-level attribute to all messages therein. Subscribers can subscribe to the annotated data stream created by the annotator/classifier.

  • Method and apparatus for calibrating internal pulses in an integrated circuit
    Patent number: 7944229
    Abstract: A method and circuit for measuring internal pulses includes an enable circuit configured to receive a control signal from an on-chip built-in tester to enable measurement of internal circuits. A delay chain is configured to receive a pulse signal from an on-chip circuit component. Sampling latches each include a data input coupled between adjacent delay elements of the delay chain and synchronized with the clock signal such that a transition in the pulse signal is indicated by comparing adjacent digital values in an output sequence.

  • Fast correctly-rounding floating-point conversion
    Patent number: 7921144
    Abstract: A system and method for converting bases of floating point numbers using fixed-point computation includes tables having different related spacings of exponent indices. The tables are adapted to cross-reference conversion ratios between exponent bases. The tables are characterized by bi-uniform spacings of source and target exponents and including near-unity table entries representing the conversion ratios. A source number is converted into a target number in a different radix by a sequence of reduction operations using a sequence of the tables. The reduction operations include reducing a source number exponent magnitude and accumulating a target exponent and multiplying a source number mantissa by a selected conversion ratio including a near-unity ratio of powers. A final mantissa is normalized and rounded to produce the target number in a new radix.

  • Mine support
    Patent number: 7909542
    Abstract: A mine support having a ductile metal sleeve, an interior of which is filled with a first aerated cementitious material of a first density which extends over at least 60% of the axial length of the sleeve. The interior of the sleeve is also filled with a second aerated cementitious material of a second density, which is less than the first density, and which fills the remainder of the interior of the sleeve.

  • Method and system for efficient fragment caching
    Patent number: 7908437
    Abstract: Methods for serving data include maintaining an incomplete version of an object at a server and at least one fragment at the server. In response to a request for the object from a client, the incomplete version of the object, an identifier for a fragment comprising a portion of the objects and a position for the fragment within the object are sent to the client. After receiving the incomplete version of the object, the identifier, and the position, the client requests the fragment from the server using the identifier. The object is constructed by including the fragment in the incomplete version of the object in a location specified by the position.
