  • Patent number: 8404958
    Abstract: An advanced MIDI/audio processing system with virtual key-switches. The virtual key-switches are mapped to different musical concepts. As a user presses a key-switch in real time with the playing of musical notes, the musical concept mapped to the key-switch that was pressed is applied. The instrument then switches to a new playing state based on the particular musical concept that was applied. Furthermore, the system is configured to provide a smooth transition between dynamic levels when applying crescendo or diminuendo effects via a modulation wheel. The system also configured to provide enhanced cycling of alternate samples by providing an individual alternate cycle for each note of each articulation in each dynamic level. Furthermore, the system is configured to allow a user to store and recall specific cycle positions, and override an existing cycle to choose a specific alternate sample for a specific note.

  • Publication number: 20130073703
    Abstract: A mechanism is described for provisioning remote desktops in a cloud based infrastructure while maintaining user personalization. In cloud based systems, a user may not always reconnect to the same VM endpoint. In one embodiment, the virtual hard disk assigned to a user is mounted to the endpoint assigned to the user. The virtual hard disk includes the user's personal data and personalization information (e.g., settings, profiles, files, etc.). When the user disconnects from the remote desktop, the virtual hard disk is demounted from the endpoint. The virtual hard disk thus provides information regarding the user's state when the user is disconnected.

  • Publication number: 20130069707
    Abstract: An embedded system includes a level shifter circuit for generating a forward supply voltage level in a predefined range. A sense circuit senses a core supply voltage level of the embedded system and compares the sensed core supply voltage level with a predetermined minimum core supply voltage level needed to generate the forward supply voltage. A reset circuit maintains one or more input nodes and one or more internal nodes of the level shifter circuit at a predetermined voltage level when the core supply voltage level is less than the predetermined minimum core supply voltage level.

  • Publication number: 20130065515
    Abstract: The apparatus comprises a plurality of antennas that are configured to receive wireless signals comprising communication signals and interference signals. Each antenna provides an antenna output signal that is processed by a wireless signal processor of the apparatus to generate a processed wireless signal. A user equipment (UE) communication interface is configured to transmit the processed wireless signal to the mobile wireless communication device. A signal quality feedback interface receives, from the mobile wireless communication device, a wireless feedback signal indicating the characteristic of the processed wireless signal received at the mobile wireless communication device. The wireless signal processor combines the antenna output signals based on the wireless feedback signal to minimize interference signals received at the mobile wireless communication device.

  • Publication number: 20130066838
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to locating and restoring backed up items using a custom schema and to efficiently transferring recovery data. In an embodiment, a computer system defines a schema that provides data search and retrieval among backup data sets. The schema stores searchable attributes for each database item and leverages a file system to store file system metadata for the data items of the backup sets. The computer system receives a request to find data items among the backup data sets and accesses the schema to determine, from the stored searchable attributes, which recovery points among the backup data sets include the requested data items. The computer system also restores the requested data items from the determined recovery point within the backup data sets.
