Abstract: A data processing apparatus maps input symbols to be communicated onto a predetermined number of sub-carrier signals of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (OFDM) symbol. The data processor includes an interleaver memory which reads-in the predetermined number of data symbols for mapping onto the OFDM sub-carrier signals. The interleaver memory reads-out the data symbols on to the OFDM sub-carriers to effect the mapping, the read-out being in a different order than the read-in, the order being determined from a set of addresses, with the effect that the data symbols are interleaved on to the sub-carrier signals. The set of addresses are generated from an address generator which comprises a linear feedback shift register and a permutation circuit.

Abstract: A facility for snapshot space accounting for a storage system, such as a filesystem is disclosed. The facility enables users to quickly and easily determine the amount of storage space that would be released or recovered if a snapshot were to be purged. The facility may work in conjunction with, or as part of, a snapshot service. The facility maintains an expiration data structure and a count data structure and uses these data structures in implementing the disclosed snapshot space accounting techniques. The expiration data structure represents the life cycle of each snapshot element maintained by the facility while the count data structure represents, for pairs of snapshots, the size of the information stored in the snapshot data that expired and that spans the corresponding pair of snapshots.

Abstract: A multipurpose furniture apparatus is configurable by a user between at least a first and second orientation to provide different functions. The multipurpose furniture apparatus includes first and second ground-engaging support members, an adjoining structure, and a seat structure. The adjoining structure and the seat structure extend between and laterally separate both the first and second ground-engaging support members. In the first orientation, the furniture apparatus is configurable as a chair. The first and second ground-engaging support members are configurable as arms of the chair and supporting the adjoining structure, which is configured as a back support. In the first orientation, the seat and the adjoining structure are configured to support a user in a seated position. In the second orientation, the adjoining structure is configured as a table top, and the first and second ground-engaging support members are configured to support the table top.

Abstract: A receiver receiving data includes: a first receiver configured to receive data in a first frequency band; a second receiver configured to receive second data in a second frequency band, the second frequency band being a subset of the first frequency band; and a data selector configured to select the frequency of operation of the second receiver from within the second frequency band in accordance with information representing the physical geographical location of the receiving device.

Abstract: A volatile liquid refueling apparatus, which includes a probe, and a receiver including a dual locking mechanism whereby said apparatus can be locked in either an open position or a closed position, and a safety lock which disables or enables access to the dual locking mechanism when manually.

Abstract: The present technology relates to a reception apparatus, a reception method, a transmission apparatus, and a transmission method that enable provision of an emergency warning service more suited to actual operation. Provided is a reception apparatus that includes a reception section and a demodulation section. The reception section receives a physical layer frame transported as a broadcast signal. The demodulation section demodulates physical layer signalling acquired from the physical layer frame and monitors whether or not emergency warning information has been transported on a basis of emergency warning notice information acquired as a result of the demodulation. In a case where the emergency warning notice information indicates that the emergency warning information has been transported, the reception apparatus starts up automatically. The present technology is applicable, for example, to a transport system for transporting a physical layer frame compliant with a DVB-T2 standard.

Abstract: There is provided a method, a system and a computer program product for supporting a decision making process. The system receives a decision model from a decision maker, the decision model used for determining a solution to a decision problem based on attributes and uncertainties of the decision problem. The decision problem includes information about a plurality of outcome vectors that represent all possible outcomes and the uncertainties associated with the decision problem. The system determines whether the received decision model can be solved without receiving any preference information from the decision maker. The system receives partially specified preference information from the decision maker if the received decision model cannot be solved without any preference information. The system solves the decision model with the partially specified preference information. The system recommends, based on the solution, one or more decisions to the decision maker.

Abstract: A method of reducing interference to reception of streams of television content received at a television receiver in which each of the streams of television content are transmitted on one of a plurality of frequency channels in accordance with a channel map which defines on which of the plurality of frequency channels each stream of television content is transmitted and the interference being caused by a base station transmitting data to or receiving data from one or more mobile devices via radio communication signals in a vicinity of the television receiver. The method includes identifying the channel map and adapting a transmission of the radio communication signals between the base station and the one or more of mobile devices in accordance with the identified channel map to reduce interference at the television receiver.

Abstract: A tank portion defines a space therein and has an opening on one side. A foot portion is in a plate shape extending radially outward from a bottom end of the tank portion on the one side. A core plate covers the opening and has a base portion and a holder portion. The base portion is in an elongated rectangular plate shape having first and second long lateral sides and a short lateral side. The holder portion includes a first holder at the first long lateral side, a second holder at the second long lateral side, and a third holder at the short lateral side, each gripping the foot portion. All the first holder, the third holder, and the second holder are one piece continuously extending along the first long lateral side, the short lateral side, and the second long lateral side.
