Abstract: A method for detecting a Direct Memory Access (DMA) memory address violation when testing PCIe devices is disclosed. The method for detecting a DMA memory address violation when testing PCIe devices applies to unintentional and intentional accesses of memory space outside of an area in memory specified by the device driver developed for the device.

Abstract: A method for detecting a Direct Memory Access (DMA) address capability at high address values when testing PCIe devices is disclosed. The method includes enabling an input/output (I/O) memory management unit (IOMMU); remapping physical addresses to virtual addresses at a high end of an address range; adding a peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) device; and mapping physical memory addresses to high value memory addresses.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for testing the true capabilities of devices connected to a computer. Methods consistent with the present disclosure may include generating test commands to send to a data storage device under test while storing information related to the commands sent to the data storage device in a low latency buffer. The low latency buffer may temporarily store command related data while data from a plurality of commands are organized and persistently stored in memory of a persistent data storage device. The low latency buffer may include or be comprised of high speed random access memory and the persistent data storage device may be a solid state drive or hard disk drive. Preferably, the persistent data storage device will store command test sequences that span long periods of time of hours or days.

Abstract: An audio recognition system provides for delivery of promotional content to its user. A user interface device, locally or with the assistance of a network-connected server, performs recognition of audio in response to queries. Recognition can be through a method such as processing features extracted from the audio. Audio can comprise recorded music, singing or humming, instrumental music, vocal music, spoken voice, or other recognizable types of audio. Campaign managers provide promotional content for delivery in response to audio recognized in queries.

Abstract: The present invention relates to providing identification information in response to an audio segment using a first mode of operation including receiving an audio segment and sending the audio segment to a remote server and receiving, from the remote server, identification information relating to the audio segment, and a second mode of operation of receiving an audio segment and using stored information to obtain identification information relating to the received audio segment received, without sending the audio segment to the remote server. The present invention further includes using identification information from the remote server and using local identification information and selecting either identification information from the remote server or local identification information based on selection criteria, and generating an output based on the selected identification information.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods that recognize audio queries and select related information to return in response to recognition of the audio queries. The technology disclosed facilitates easy designation of aggregate user experience categories and custom audio references to be recognized. It facilitates linking and returning of selected information in response to recognition of audio queries that match the designated aggregate user experience categories or custom audio references to be recognized.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the continuous monitoring of an audio signal and identification of audio items within an audio signal. The technology disclosed utilizes predictive caching of fingerprints to improve efficiency. Fingerprints are cached for tracking an audio signal with known alignment and for watching an audio signal without known alignment, based on already identified fingerprints extracted from the audio signal. Software running on a smart phone or other battery-powered device cooperates with software running on an audio identification server.

Abstract: In one implementation, a method is described of retrying matching of an audio query against audio references. The method includes receiving a follow-up query that requests a retry at matching a previously submitted audio query. In some implementations, this follow-up query is received without any recognition hint that suggests how to retry matching. The follow-up query includes the audio query or a reference to the audio query to be used in the retry. The method further includes retrying matching the audio query using retry matching resources that include an expanded group of audio references, identifying at least one match and transmitting a report of the match. Optionally, the method includes storing data that correlates the follow-up query, the audio query or the reference to the audio query, and the match after retrying.
