Abstract: A server determines, at a first predetermined time, a default decision as to whether to provide a first media content clip after the end of a first media content item. At a second predetermined time, after the first predetermined time, the server initiates a determination of a first decision as to whether to provide the first media content clip after the end of the first media content item. In accordance with the first decision being reached within a predetermined latency period, the server provides the first media content clip to the first electronic device in accordance with the first decision. In accordance with a determination that the predetermined latency period has elapsed without the first decision being reached, provides the first media content clip to the first electronic device in accordance with the default decision.

Abstract: A plurality of integrated circuits in a system, each having a program memory loaded with different sections of a program, and a second memory. The integrated circuits perform the program, such that, when one of the integrated circuits requires a portion of the program, which is contained in its own program memory, it extracts it from the program memory and uses it, but when it requires a portion of the program, which is not contained in its own program memory, it reads it from the program memory of one of the other integrated circuits into its second memory and runs that portion of the program from there. In one example, the system is a line card, and the program is specific to one DSL protocol.

Abstract: A line card is proposed in which one or more DMT processing modules 1 communicate with a data link layer platform, such as an ATM, POSPHY or Ethernet processor. The data relating to a single symbol is transmitted between the data link layer platform and a given one of DMT processing modules in a plurality of data portions spaced apart in time. The data portions relating to different channels of a given DMT processing module (or to different DMT processing modules) are interleaved in time. Since the data portions of a given symbol are spaced apart in time, the data relating to a single symbol is transmitted over a longer time period than in conventional devices which reduces the effective burstiness of the traffic, and thus reduces the memory requirements of the data link layer platform.

Abstract: A new protocol is proposed for transmission of data through lines such as telephone lines. The tones of a signal are associated into groups 10, 11, and tone ordering, gain selection, and/or bit swapping within the processing system are done within the members of a group 10, 11. This idea is applicable both to tone ordering etc., following the training stage, and also to the dynamic configuration changes subsequently, for example, bit swapping. The computational cost of coding and decoding the data is reduced (compared to treating all the tones of a given direction equivalently), and the invention makes it possible to significantly reduce the memory requirements of the encoder and decoder.

Abstract: Techniques which reduce the computational burden of the IFFT/FFT section of a DSL data transmission/reception apparatus, taking into account the nature of conventional IFFT/FFT algorithms. These algorithms operate using “butterflies” representing complex calculations performed on input values. The butterflies are here referred to as “simple” if all the input values are zero or if only one input value is non-zero. The invention proposes that the tones which have non-zero amplitudes are selected to maximize (or at least increase) the number of simple butterflies. This is done either in designing the band plans of the communication, or in designing the band plan of a mode of operation of the apparatus having a reduced data transmission rate. The IFFT/FFT section receives information indicating that the IFFT/FFT algorithm can be simplified based on knowledge of which of the input values will be zero, and changes its mode of operation accordingly.
