Abstract: In a method for a receiver a signal is received at the receiver, where after a Cholesky factor or a block Cholesky factor of the Schur complement or a negative of the Schur complement of a matrix is determined at a processor entity by deriving a generator matrix of the Schur complement or the negative of the Schur complement from the generator matrix of the matrix and then applying a Schur algorithm to the generator matrix of the Schur complement or the negative of the Schur complement. The derivation comprises permutating at least a part of matrix columns below a certain row, shifting these columns downward a predefined number of rows and deleting a number of top rows. A filter for the signal may then be defined by computing filter coefficients for filtering the signal based on the derived Cholesky factor or block Cholesky factor. In another application a received signal is estimated based on similar determinations.

Abstract: A combined predictive speech and text recognition system. The present invention combines the functionality of text input programs with speech input and recognition systems. With the present invention, a user can both manually enter text and speak desired letters, words or phrases. The system receives and analyzes the provided information and provides one or more proposals for the completion of words or phrases. This process can be repeated until an adequate match is found.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for synchronizing a first clock C to a reference clock A, the first clock C being connected to said reference clock A via a processing unit B. The invention moreover relates to a processing unit B and to a synchronization system. In order to enable a synchronization of said first clock C to said reference clock A via said processing, unti B. it is proposed that the processing unit B generates a correction message cmsg for the first clock C based on timestamps exchanged between the processing unit B and the reference clock A, which exchanged of timestamps is triggered by clock pulses cclk received in the processing unit B from the first clock C.
