Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to affinity-based scheduling of graphics work. In disclosed embodiments, first and second groups of graphics processor sub-units may share respective first and second caches. Distribution circuitry may receive a software-specified set of graphics work and a software-indicated mapping of portions of the set of graphics work to groups of graphics processor sub-units. The distribution circuitry may assign subsets of the set of graphics work based on the mapping. This may improve cache efficiency, in some embodiments, by allowing graphics work that accesses the same memory areas to be assigned to the same group of sub-units that share a cache.

Abstract: A steering knuckle, including a rod part, a disc part, an ear part including a first ear and a second ear. The rod part and the ear part are disposed on two sides of the disc part, respectively. The first ear is longer than the second ear. The first ear and the second ear each include a pin hole; the connection line of two pin holes of the first ear and the second ear is perpendicular to the axis of the rod part. The first ear extends parallel to the axis of the rod part in the direction away from the disc part to form a pulling arm configured to connect to a steering drag link. The second ear extends perpendicularly to the axis of the rod part and perpendicularly to the connection line of the two pin holes to form a steering arm configured to connect to a steering tie rod.

Abstract: A double-sided display simultaneous translation method includes: receiving a voice input; translating the inputted voice according to a preset rule; and outputting translated contents. Different from the prior art, in the double-sided display simultaneous translation method provided in embodiments of the present invention, by means of a bidirectional voice input mode corresponding to a double-channel system, the same device allows both parties in communication to speak at the same time and can accurately differentiate voice of both parties to provide right translation.

Abstract: A method, system and computer readable media for real-time chromakey matting using image statistics. To identify the chroma key spectrum, the system/method executes in three stages. In an off-line training stage, the system performs semi-automatic calibration of the chroma key parameterization. In the real-time classification stage, the system estimates the alpha matte on a GPU. Finally, an optional error minimization stage improves the estimated matte, accounting for misclassifications and signal noise. Given the resulting matte, standard alpha blending composites the virtual scene with the video feed to create the illusion that both worlds coexist.

Abstract: A method of fast stream switching including receiving at least one first stream at a device corresponding to at least one first program, wherein the device employs dynamic power management and is operating at a first power level; activating a selection panel; receiving a plurality of streams corresponding to a plurality of programs; and adjusting to a second power level. After a stream is selected, the non-selected streams may be deactivated and the device may return to the first power level.

Abstract: A method of dynamic power management in a time division multiple access (TDMA) system. The method comprising comparing each of a plurality of streams; grouping each of the plurality of streams into a plurality of powergroups, wherein each of the plurality of powergroups may comprise multiple streams, scheduling a burst transmission based on the plurality of powergroups; and adjusting the power stage based on the plurality of powergroups, wherein the system is configured to turn off selected components based on the power stage and the scheduled burst transmissions.

Abstract: In order to increase channel capacity of a processing engine in a telecommunication network, separate telecommunication signals are multiplexed in pairs to produce at least one multiplexed signal. This signal is transmitted to the processing engine to create a processed multiplexed signal. The processed multiplexed signal from the processing engine is then demultiplexed to produce separate processed telecommunication signals.

Abstract: A method of reducing peak-to-average ratio in multi-carrier communications systems, involves extracting sign bits from a data stream for each sub-carrier; scrambling the sign bits; recombining the scrambled sign bits with a remaining portion of the incoming data stream to form a transmission data stream; modulating the transmission data stream; transmitting the modulated transmission data stream over a transmission medium; receiving the modulated transmission data stream; extracting the scrambled sign bits from the received transmission data stream; unscrambling the scrambled sign bits; recombining the scrambled sign bits with a remaining portion of the received transmission data stream to form a received data stream; and demodulating the received data stream.

Abstract: Optical performance monitoring of a dense wave division multiplex optical communication system is immune to effects of stimulated Raman scattering. Each wavelength is modulated by an orthogonal spreading code dither signal having a predetermined modulation index. At a receiver, a portion of the aggregate optical signal is tapped and passes through a wavelength dependant optical delay filter. For each wavelength, the aggregate signal is multiplied by a synchronized copy of a respective spreading code and an autocorrelator detects the modulation power of the spreading code dither. The system can also be deployed as an optical reflectometer. For each autocorrelator, an aggregate reflected signal is multiplied by a copy of a spreading code having a respective different time delay. The distance to a reflection can be estimated from the time delay that yields the highest autocorrelation value.
