Abstract: Effective radio frequency interference (RFI) mitigation techniques are disclosed for use in wireless communication devices, among others. An RFI mitigation circuit may include a selector circuit to select between a cleaned signal and a clipped signal, and provide the selected signal as an output signal. The RFI mitigation circuit may also include a classifier circuit to generate a control input indication to the selector circuit to have the cleaned signal selected as the output signal based at least on a front-end circuit signal indicating that the front-end circuit is operating linearly and also indicating that the front-end circuit signal includes an interference signal. The classifier circuit may also generate the control input indication to have the clipped signal selected as the output signal based at least on the front-end circuit signal indicating that the front-end circuit is not operating linearly.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for error correction based on soft decision bits and multiple hypotheses includes: maintaining a plurality of previous single bit-flip hypotheses, each hypothesis including a respective bit-flip, a respective pre-flip bit confidence, and a respective hash responsive to the respective bit-flip; receiving a bit and a corresponding bit confidence; comparing the received bit confidence with a highest pre-flip bit confidence of the maintained plurality of single bit-flip hypotheses; and if the received bit confidence is less than the highest pre-flip bit confidence, forming a new single bit-flip hypothesis and replacing a prior bit-flip hypothesis having the highest pre-flip bit confidence with the new hypothesis.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for electronically providing each of a plurality of content distributors with access to a library of content items, facilitating the selection of a combination of the content items, creating a unique set of links for each recipient-distributor combination, and distributing the selected content and unique links via one or more distribution channels to a plurality of recipients. As each link is associated with both a recipient and a distributor, conversion actions stemming from the selection of a link by a recipient are attributed to the proper distributor. Distributors can create content distribution approaches that can be shared with other distributors.

Abstract: A trimmer head for a trimmer having a shaft defining a rotation axis is provided. The trimmer head includes a housing including a main housing and a lower cover, wherein the main housing contains a pair of opposed eyelets through which trimmer line is discharged. A spool is encased within the housing, with a bump knob connected thereto, and has a passageway with opposed ends and extending from one side of the spool to another, the opposed ends being alignable with the eyelets to receive the line. A first set of ramps is located on an inside surface of the main housing and a second set of ramps is located within a center barrel of the spool. The two sets of ramps interact to control the direction of releasing line from the trimmer head and forcing indexing of the spool when the bump knob is bumped.

Abstract: Apparatus, e.g., including a pump or rotary device, having a discharge casing and a discharge casing insert. The discharge casing may be configured with a discharge flow pathway for providing a flow of effluent being pumped and discharged, the discharge flow pathway having a discharge flow pathway wall, the discharge casing also configured with a discharge casing insert borehole that passes from an outer surface of the discharge casing through the discharge flow pathway wall. The discharge casing insert may include a discharge casing Venturi plug portion to be received in the discharge casing insert borehole and arranged in the discharge flow pathway, the discharge casing Venturi plug portion configured with a restricted discharge flow pathway for providing a partial obstruction in the discharge flow pathway and the flow of the effluent being pumped and discharged.

Abstract: A method of supplying hydraulic power via a zonal hydraulic system to an aircraft having a plurality of operating phases includes determining a current operating phase of the aircraft and setting a power limit (e.g., a pressure set point and/or flow limitation) for at least one hydraulic power unit based on the current operating phase. The hydraulic system includes a plurality of hydraulic zones. Each of the hydraulic zones includes a local controller, a hydraulic power unit controlled by the local controller, and at least one actuator powered by the hydraulic power unit. Energy savings may be realized by altering the pressure set point for and/or limiting the flow to hydraulic systems in inactive and/or less active zones. The zonal hydraulic system may be reconfigured for safety based on sensed failures and/or during emergency or alternate power conditions with limited available power. Duty cycles for multiple electric motor driven pumps of the system may be balanced.
