  • Publication number: 20240069901
    Abstract: A server builds an update file to update software. The server compiles source code of an updated version of the software, generating a binary file of the updated version of the software. Memory locations are mapped to sections of the binary file based on mappings of sections of a binary file of a prior version of the software. Bits of sections of a plurality of sections of the binary file of the prior version are logically combined, bit-by-bit, with bits of corresponding sections of the binary file of the updated version. The logically combining includes: applying an exclusive or operation; or applying an exclusive nor operation. The update file is built based on the mapping of the memory locations and on results of the logical combining.

  • Patent number: 10211884
    Abstract: A method is for processing a channel analog signal coming from a transmission channel. The method may include converting the channel analog signal into a channel digital signal, and detecting a state of the transmission channel based on the channel digital signal to detect whether the transmission channel is, over an interval of time, one or more of linear and time invariant and linear and cyclostationary.

  • Patent number: 10050672
    Abstract: A method is for processing an analog signal coming from a transmission channel. The analog signal may include a useful signal modulated on a sub-set of carriers. The method may include analog-to-digital converting of the analog signal into a digital signal, and synchronization processing the digital signal. The synchronizing may include determining, in a time domain, a limited number of coefficients of a predictive filter from an autoregressive model of the digital signal, and filtering the digital signal in the time domain by a digital finite impulse response filter with coefficients based upon the limited number of coefficients to provide a filtered digital signal. The method may include detecting of an indication allowing a location in the frame structure to be identified, using the filtered digital signal and a reference signal.

  • Patent number: 9866274
    Abstract: A method is for processing an analog channel signal from a transmission channel. The method may include converting of the analog channel signal to a digital channel signal, and performing a channel estimation digital processing of the digital channel signal. The channel estimation digital processing may include for at least one frame, generating transfer functions of the transmission channel, the transfer functions respectively associated with reference symbols of the frame, and averaging processing of the transfer functions to generate an average transfer function. The method may include decoding of symbols of the frame following the reference symbols using the average transfer function.

  • Patent number: 9838077
    Abstract: A method is for processing an analog channel signal from a transmission channel. The analog channel signal conveys frames, the transmission channel being linear and cyclostationary for a duration of a frame. The method may include converting of the analog channel signal into a digital channel signal, and performing channel estimations for the frame based upon the digital channel signal to generate a sequence of N transfer functions of the transmission channel. Each of the sequence of N transfer functions may be respectively associated with N successive time slices. The method may include decoding at least some symbols of the frame using, for each of the symbols, a transfer function associated with a successive time slice including a respective symbol.
