Patent number: 9838692Abstract: As part of a video encoding or decoding operation on video data, a video coder performs a coding operation for a current video unit of the video data. As part of performing the coding operation for the current video unit, the video coder determines the availabilities of one or more video units that neighbor the current video unit. In order to determine the availability of a video unit that neighbors the current video unit, the video coder identifies, based on availabilities of video units that neighbor a parent video unit of the current video unit, an entry in a lookup table. The identified entry indicates the availability of the video unit that neighbors the current video unit. The video coder then performs a coding operation on the current video unit based on whether the video unit that neighbors the current video unit is available.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2012Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Bo Zhou, Gurunath Ramaswamy, Karthic Veera, Peisong Chen, Muhammed Zeyd Coban, Junchen Du, Suhail Jalil

Patent number: 9071701Abstract: A wireless characteristic of a wireless signal may be used to trigger generation of a position fix. A mobile computing device may include a wireless transceiver, a location determination circuit and a processing circuit. The wireless transceiver may be configured to receive a wireless signal over a short range wireless network from a wireless system. The processing circuit may be configured to detect a change in the wireless signal and, in response to the detected change, to generate a position fix using the location determination circuit.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2008Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jesse E. Donaldson, Robert Tsuk, Edward C. Ballot, Janell Paulson, Isabel Ge Mahe, Craig C. Hamilton, Sachin S. Kansal, Gurunath Ramaswamy

Patent number: 8175034Abstract: Techniques for configuring wireless communications devices are disclosed. For instance, an apparatus may include a storage medium to store one or more configuration files, and a configuration module. Each of the one or more configuration files may correspond to a network carrier. The configuration module selects one of the configuration files and to extract one or more operational parameters from it. This selected configuration file and the one or more operational parameters correspond to a designated network carrier.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2007Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Alex Ho, Isabel Mahe, Wen Zhao, Edmond Leung, Gurunath Ramaswamy, Richard Curtis Scott
