Appl. No.:

11/106274

Inventors:

Gilberto Sada - Irvine CA, US
Keith Jones - Irvine CA, US
Charles Chang - Coto de Caza CA, US

International Classification:

H04B 10/08

US Classification:

398027000

Abstract:

A method and system for a bit error rate (BER) contour-based optimum decision threshold and sampling phase selection in optical communication systems is disclosed. According to one aspect of the invention, for a selected sampling phase and a decision threshold, high BER values are measured. Low BER values are approximated from the high BER values using error functions. The procedures are repeated for all selected sampling phases and decision thresholds and corresponding BER values are calculated. The sampling phases and decision thresholds for each specific BER value are plotted to create the BER contour diagrams. The optimum decision threshold for a sampling phase is calculated by equating the BER due to marks (“s”) and the BER due to spaces (“s”). In one aspect of the invention, a BER test module resides in the receiver. The BER test module calculates the BERs and the optimum decision threshold and sampling phase.

Abstract:

Disclosed herein is an energy storage system and related method. According to one embodiment, such a system comprises a power management system and a plurality of energy banks coupled to the power management system, wherein each of the plurality of energy banks is capable of being independently discharged through the power management system. The power management system is configured to select at least one of the plurality of energy banks to transfer energy between the energy storage system and a machine powered using the energy storage system. According to one embodiment, the method comprises determining an energy transfer requirement of the machine powered by the energy storage system, selecting at least one of the plurality of energy banks for responding to the energy transfer requirement, and transferring energy between the selected energy bank(s) and the machine according to the energy transfer requirement.

US Classification:

320134

Abstract:

According to one embodiment, a system for actively managing energy banks during an energy transfer process comprises a plurality of energy banks configured for use as a group of energy banks and characterized by a desired state-of-charge (SOC), and a power management system coupled across each of the energy banks. The power management system is configured to selectively drive at least one of the energy banks to a modified SOC different from the desired SOC without interrupting the energy transfer process. In one embodiment, the power management system is further configured to return the energy bank or banks driven to the modified SOC to the desired SOC of the group of energy banks.

Abstract:

A database system is disclosed for accessing databases, updating hands information associated with users. The database system can include a server. The server can retrieve and store data in the database. The server can retrieve a first request from a first computer over a network, the first request including a first set of authentication data. The server can identify the user and retrieve a first set of hands information data associated with the user from the database. The server can generate a first set of game data and transmit the game data to the first computer. It can then receive a first set of hands data from the first computer. It can compute a first game result based on the first set of hands data, the first set of game data and a first set of game rules.
