Abstract: Either vehicle traffic or financial markets data is regularly broadcast in a fixed size packet over a wireless network in a push manner to one or more wireless receiver devices located within a particular service coverage region. A data center stores information specific to the particular region including drive-times strings metadata, drive-times data, drive-times route metadata, traffic incident data and financial markets indicators data. The data center decides upon a particular type of information to be placed into a payload of a next packet to be broadcast and pre-formats this information accordingly without receiving any information from the receiver devices. Data structures are provided which contain data representing the drive-times strings metadata, drive-times data, drive-times route metadata, traffic incident data and financial markets indicators data.

Abstract: Circuits, methods, and apparatus for measuring a video signal's noise level. The determination can be made based on pixel values for a single video image frame, for example, by comparing pixel color values, luminance, or other parameter for a first and second group of pixels in the frame. Each group of pixels may be part of a line in the frame, and several such measurements may be made along each line of the frame. These measurements can then be further refined depending on the measure noise level. Once a video noise level is determined, a decision on how to further process the video signal can be made. For example, the picture can be filtered or sharpened. The amount of noise filtering can be made dependent on the amount of noise measured.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to perform aging are described. A method to perform timing comprises receiving an address and retrieving an age zone value associated with the received address. A time is then determined using the retrieved age zone value. The determined time may then be associated with the received address.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to perform a multi-field matching search. A search unit groups single fields of a multiple-field source into a search target having multiple-field keys (MFKs) whose single fields correspond to the single fields in multiple-field vectors (MFVs) of entries in a data structure. The search unit generates a set of queries based, at least in part, on the MFKs, where each query has a different MFK as a lead MFK. The search unit determines, based, at least in part, on a query, whether the non-wildcard values in the MFVs of an entry match the non-wildcard values in corresponding MFKs of the search target.

Abstract: A data structure for use in database applications. The data structure includes a key database that is searchable via an index table.

Abstract: A system, an apparatus, and a method for dividing an address into at least two parts and searching for an address from a table that matches at least a significant portion of one of those parts. Where a table address having an exact match to a part of the address is found, additional parts of the address may be matched to one or more table addresses iteratively.

Abstract: A memory controller includes a write data module to write user data, parity information, and error correction information in a memory. The memory controller includes a read data module to read the user data and parity information, determine whether there is error in the user data based on the parity information, read the error correction information if there is error as determined based on the parity information.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a packet of information may be received, and one of K slots for the packet may be selected based on K*R/2r, R being a vector based on the packet and having r bits. The packet may then be transmitted to a remote device via an output port associated with the selected slot.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a parity check is provided for ternary content addressable memory. For example, it may be arranged for a read request to be transmitted to a ternary content addressable memory unit. Data content may then be received from the memory unit in response to the read request, a parity check may be performed on the data content. According to some embodiments, parity information may be masked when the memory unit is queried.
