  • NUMA System Resource Descriptors Including Performance Characteristics
    Publication number: 20080270454
    Abstract: A method and article for efficiently accessing resources in a multiprocessor computer system. Multiple resources are grouped into nodes and system resource descriptors are maintained as data structures. The method incorporates traversing one or more of the data structure to efficiently allocate resources within a grouping of nodes. Each node in the system is assigned a node identifying number. This number identifies a node location within a multiprocessor and is used to determine latency between nodes. Accordingly, storing the system architecture information in a data structure format provides for an efficient method of accessing system resources and determining latency for specific processes and access patterns.

  • CHEMICAL LIQUID SUPPLYING APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20080260549
    Abstract: A chemical liquid supplying apparatus which can discharge chemical liquid with high accuracy is provided. The apparatus is used to discharge the chemical liquid in a chemical liquid tank from an application nozzle. The apparatus has a combined member formed integrally with a pump case and a cylinder, and a flexible tube serving as a pump member is provided in the pump case, wherein its inside is a pump chamber and its outside is a pump-side driving chamber. A piston is assembled to the cylinder and when the piston is reciprocated by a motor, the pump chamber is expanded and contracted. A gap between the piston and the cylinder is covered with a diaphragm, and an interior of the diaphragm is a seal space. Therefore, an incompressible medium having leaked from the gap between the piston and the cylinder enters into the seal space and does not leak to the outside.

  • Document Processing Device and Document Processing Method
    Publication number: 20080263444
    Abstract: A document processing apparatus provides a function as a browser that allows the user to browse a document held by a Web server. Specifically, the document processing apparatus acquires a document from the Web server via the Internet, and displays the document thus acquired. A mode detection unit detects a mode transition to a value-added operation mode, i.e., a mode that allows the user to reuse the Web page, examples of which include: a mode that allows the user to edit the Web page, a print mode, a storage mode, and a mode which allows the user to duplicate a part of the Web page. In such a case, an advertising display unit displays additional content such as an advertisement. A business model is proposed, whereby, in a case of executing the mode transition to the mode that allows the user to reuse the content, instead of charging the user, advertising is displayed.

  • Method and apparatus for reducing timestamp noise in audio echo cancellation
    Publication number: 20080259828
    Abstract: A communication end device of a two-way communication system is shown. The device includes an audio signal capture device for capturing local audio to be transmitted to another end device, an audio signal rendering device for playing remote audio received from the other end device, and buffers for buffering the captured and rendered audio signals. The device also includes an audio echo canceller operating to predict echo from the rendered audio signal at a calculated relative offset in the captured audio signal based on an adaptive filter, and subtract the predicted echo from the signal transmitted to the other end device The calculated relative offset that is used by the audio echo canceller for a current signal sample is adjusted if a difference between it and an adjusted relative offset of a preceding sample exceeds a threshold value.

  • VALVE TIMING CONTROL SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20080257288
    Abstract: A first-side check valve prevents a hydraulic fluid from being discharged out of a retard chamber, and a second-side check valve prevents the hydraulic fluid from being discharged out of an advance chamber. A first-side control valve opens or closes a first-side discharge passage by a pilot pressure received through a retard pilot passage. A second-side control valve opens or closes a second-side discharge passage by the pilot pressure received through an advance pilot passage. Another check valve is disposed in a supply passage between a phase switch valve and a branch point, at which a supply passage is branched.
