  • Patent number: 8819649
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for profiling source code to enable improved source code execution. A runtime engine includes a parser, a bytecode generator, an execution controller, an interpreter, a just-in-time (JIT) compiler, and a profile generator. The parser receives source code coded in a dynamic language and parses the source code to generate parsed source code. The bytecode generator converts the parsed source code to bytecode. The interpreter is configured to interpret the bytecode when enabled by the execution controller. The JIT compiler is configured to compile the bytecode when enabled by the execution controller. The profile generator generates profile information from the bytecode and stores the profile information. The execution controller enables the interpreter or the JIT compiler to perform their respective functions based on the profile information.

  • Publication number: 20060055592
    Abstract: An antenna measurement range and a method of calibrating same is proposed which at least substantially reduces the effects of echoing or multi path. The method of calibrating the range comprises the steps of: generating and radiating a training signal; receiving the radiated training signal and comparing the received signal with the expected signal; determining a set of equaliser coefficients to be used in these circumstances to eliminate or minimise the error between the expected training signal and the received signal; and storing the set of equalisation coefficients and associating them with the rotational or translational position of the antenna under test so that the coefficients can be applied to subsequent radiation pattern measurements. In one embodiment, the measurement nodes are dispersed in a three dimensional array about the antenna under test and a set of coefficients arrived at for each node to be applied to the subsequent radiation pattern measurements.

  • Patent number: 6943627
    Abstract: The invention provides robust and non-invasive calibration of an adaptive signal conditioning system having a signal conditioning block in the signal path to a signal conversion system, and a feedback path with a number of feedback components for enabling adaptation, by means of a parameter adaptation block, of the parameters used in the signal conditioning. In order to calibrate the feedback path, a well-defined reference signal is inserted into the feedback path, and an appropriate calibration coefficient is then determined by a coefficient calibrator in response to the received reference signal. The calibration coefficient is provided to a compensator, which effectively compensates for changes in the transfer characteristics of the feedback path due to factors such as variations in ambient temperature and component aging.
