  • Patent number: 8898212
    Abstract: A data reordering system for determining addresses associated with a vector of transformed data and corresponding method of reordering transformed data, where the data reordering system includes: a first transform function coupled to a data vector and operable to provide the vector of transformed data; a reordering function, including a plurality of counters, that is operable to determine a plurality of offset addresses, with a, respective, offset address for each element in the vector of transformed data; and an adder operable to add a base address that corresponds to the first address to the each, respective, offset address to provide a sequence of addresses suitable for accessing the vector of transformed data to provide a re-sequenced vector of transformed data.

  • Patent number: 8762214
    Abstract: A method for hierarchical product selection and purchasing from a server. The method includes accessing a plurality of products from a plurality of component subareas, wherein the products are for an assembly of a computer system, and wherein each of the component subareas have corresponding compatibility constraints with respect to other component subareas. A hierarchical presentation of the products is generated, wherein the presentation proceeds from a parent product out of the plurality of products to a child product out of the plurality of products. The hierarchical presentation of the products are provided to a client computer system via a Web browser hosted on the client computer system, wherein the presentation is configured to show child component subareas that satisfy compatibility restraints with parent component subareas. An order for the at least one product is accepted and implemented with a corresponding e-commerce agent for the product.

  • Publication number: 20090130987
    Abstract: A measurement probe 1 for a machine tool has a housing 4/5 incorporating a window 6 which allows the optical transmission or receipt of signals from/to infrared transmitters 12 or receivers 13. To obviate the need to mount the transmitter and receiver components on an external surface of the housing, they are surface mounted to a circuit board 8?.

  • Patent number: 5579319
    Abstract: A TDMA receiver (100) has a limiting receiver path (116) for access bursts and a linear receiver path (117) for all other traffic and signalling bursts. Since the access bursts are not interleaved in typical TDMA digital cellular systems, such as the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) digital cellular system, the loss of amplitude information is not detrimental to acceptable access burst error rates in the TDMA receiver (100) implementation. The TDMA receiver (100) determines the burst-type (either through a priori knowledge of the burst-type or dynamic determination of the burst-type) and a selector switch (124) chooses which receiver path (116, 117) is to be demodulated.
