Abstract: An electronic device equipped with programmable key layout in provided, which includes a microprocessor, a sensor point array assembly, and a memory module. The sensor point array assembly is electrically coupled to the microprocessor through an interface circuit. A plurality of sensor points is distributed over the sensor point array assembly. The memory module stores a keymap table, and at least a sensor point grid defined by a user and a key code corresponding to the sensor point grid are written into the keymap table. The sensor point grid includes at least one of the sensor points of the sensor point array assembly. When one or more of the sensor points of the sensor point array assembly is triggered, the microprocessor differentiates the key code corresponding to the sensor point grid including the triggered sensor point according to the keymap table in the memory module.

Abstract: Provided are methods, kits and arrays for carrying out relative measurement of an analyte of interest in a biological sample. As specifically exemplified, there is an array of stabilized, desiccated cDNA preparations, each at a defined location within the array, where those cDNAs were prepared from cells treated with a particular condition believed to modulate at least one gene of interest. Detection can be via Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction using an appropriate reaction mixture and primers specific for a coding sequence of interest, and a greater relative amount of a RT PCR product from a control preparation reflects greater gene expression in response to the test condition whereas a lower amount of RT PCR product reflects an inhibitory effect on expression of the coding sequence of interest as a result of the application of the test condition.

Abstract: Procedures for identifying audio clients in a media session are described. A gateway device may provide a unique identifier for identifying the audio client/user agent instance. In an example, a globally routable user agent universal resource indicator (GRUU) may be mapped to the gateway device servicing the audio client and a unique identifier may be provided. In examples, the gateway device may include a grid and grid value for identifying the audio client.

Abstract: Independent telephony systems are integrated by using symmetric forking from both systems. Calls received by either system are forked to the other system. Thus, a call can be accepted by one of the systems, using its external interfaces, and presented to all devices in both systems. Each system is enabled to leverage internal call control advanced features to enhance overall user experience. Internally inserted parameters to call requests are used between the two systems for preventing endless loop of calls between the integrated systems.

Abstract: Tools and techniques for determination and display of endpoint identities are described herein. The tools may provide machine-readable storage media containing machine-readable instructions for receiving responses to requests to open call sessions involving given endpoints, and for extracting human-understandable identification information from these responses. These instructions may also extract previously stored identification information associated with the endpoint, where the identification information was extracted from a previous response transmitted from the endpoint.

Abstract: Tools and techniques for optimized replacement of calls using a grid parameter are described herein. The tools may provide machine-readable storage media containing machine-readable instructions for receiving indications of incoming calls, and for populating fields in a contact header structure that are associated with the incoming call. The fields may include a field for containing a globally unique identifier (GUID) associated with the incoming call. The tools may also receive requests to replace a call within a plurality of active calls that are handled by a server. In response to such requests, the tools may search for the call using the GUID.

Abstract: Procedures for using common encrypt/decrypt keys are described. In an example, a scale key is generated for encrypting host media stream for more than one client. The scale key may be exchanged with a first client so that the host receives a first client key for decrypting a first client media stream. The host may send a gateway device the scale key such that the gateway device may use the scale key. In implementations, the host may receive a share key for decrypting end client media stream forwarded through the gateway device.

Abstract: A data compression apparatus and a method thereof are provided. In the present invention, a processing unit is used for sequentially transforming a plurality of spatial domain data of a macro block into a plurality of coefficient data according to a coding sequence. Then, an entropy coder is used for sequentially coding the coefficient data according to the same coding sequence. Thereby, the processing unit and the entropy coder operate in parallel so that the operation waiting time is reduced and accordingly the operation speed is increased.

Abstract: An image processing method is provided. According to the present method, the formulas of the prediction modes of a 4*4 block in intra frame prediction are expanded and applied to 4*4 blocks or 8*8 blocks in a 16*16 block. The prediction modes of the 4*4 blocks or 8*8 blocks in the 16*16 block are determined within one pass, or the prediction modes of the 8*8 blocks in the 16*16 block are determined within three passes. Accordingly, the operation of determining the prediction mode of each 4*4 block is saved, and the time for processing intra frame prediction of the 4*4 blocks is effectively reduced. Eventually, the efficiency of image processing is improved.

Abstract: A method performs quality control testing on the objects in a set of objects to obtain a level of quality. The method identifies a number of objects that satisfy the static testing limits, determines statistical measures from the number of objects, determines a dynamic range of values from the statistical measures, and then identifies the objects that satisfy the dynamic range of values.
