  • Systems and methods for parameter selection using reliability information
    Patent number: 8689062
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for data processing. For example, a data processing system is disclosed that includes: a data detector circuit, and a reliability monitor circuit. The data detector circuit is operable to apply a data detection algorithm to a data set to yield a detected output that includes soft data. The reliability monitor circuit is operable to determine a proxy error count based at least in part on the soft data, and to modify a parameter governing an operation of the data processing system based at least in part on the proxy error count.

  • Meter module assembly for a meter panel
    Patent number: 4041358
    Abstract: A meter panel is formed from one or more meter modules, each of which has a plurality of horizontal line buses extending therethrough with the ends of the line buses being connectable to corresponding line buses in an adjacent meter module. Each meter module comprises an enclosure and a meter section removably mounted into an opening in the front face of the enclosure. The meter section has a plurality of vertical buses which are electrically connectable to horizontal line buses. The meter section has meter sockets therein with each socket having a plurality of electrical contacts into which meters may be plugged.
