  • Publication number: 20160294424
    Abstract: A method for wireless communication includes communicating with a first wireless device via a first wireless communication protocol selected from multiple wireless communication protocols. The method also includes communicating with a wireless network via a second wireless communication protocol selected from multiple wireless communication protocols. The communications via the first wireless communication protocol and the second wireless communication protocol are filtered via a digital filter and/or an analog filter.

  • Patent number: 5418953
    Abstract: A method is employed for pre-assignment and pre-scheduling of tasks that enables allocation across multiple physical processors arranged in a variety of architectures. The method comprises the steps of: constructing a DFG of tasks to be performed to provide a solution for a problem; determining cost values for each task and the overall problem, such cost values taking into account a target multiprocessor architecture and factors such as elapsed task execution times. The method pre-assigns the tasks to logical processors and assures that inter-dependent tasks are executable by logical processors that are within required communications delay criteria of each other. The assigning action attempts to arrive at a minimal cost value for all tasks comprising the problem. The pre-assigned tasks are then pre-scheduled based upon a performance criteria and are converted to machine code. The machine code is then deployed to physical processors in the target multi-processor architecture.
