  • Patent number: 8819806
    Abstract: An application portal selectively provides a user selective access to data. A data access layer is included in the portal and includes a map associating the user with a permission and further associating a combination of the user and the permission with a data entity, whereby it may be determined whether the user is permitted to access data identified with the data entity. A data stage included in the portal selectively undergoes a synchronization with a remote data store, the synchronization providing data access information that is used to update the map.

  • Patent number: 8761288
    Abstract: A multiuser downlink multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system with limited channel information feedback includes an error-free channel vector quantization scheme. Each user has multiple antennas, and the base station includes a matching number of antennas. Each MIMO channel is measured at the terminus end of a corresponding user, and used to obtain the channel state information at the receiver (CSIR). A few data bits of CSIR information are feed back to the base station through the limited feedback channels. The base station collects all these CSIR feedback data bits into a CSI at the transmitter (CSIT). The CSIT is used to determine which users are served, and how to configure a corresponding multi-user precoder. The user data channels will later all be transmitted through such precoder. A codebook of channel quantization vectors is pre-defined and distributed amongst the base station and all the users.

  • Publication number: 20120014601
    Abstract: A handwriting recognition method and a handwriting recognition device are provided to recognize a character sequence continuously inputted by a user for convenience. The present method comprises steps of calculating various features of the inputted character sequence which include single character recognition accuracy features and space geometry features of different stroke combinations in the inputted character sequence, calculating segmentation reliabilities of respective stroke combinations in different segmented patterns by using a probabilistic model in which coefficients of the probabilistic model are estimated by a parameter estimation method through sample trainings, recognizing characters in different writing patterns by using a multiple-template matching method when performing single character recognition of the stroke combinations, searching for the best segmentation path and conducting post-processing to optimize the recognition results.
