Appl. No.:

11/390533

Inventors:

Oliver K. Ban - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

H03M 7/34

US Classification:

341 51, 341106

Abstract:

Embodiments herein provide a method and apparatus for recognition and tagging of multiple layered entropy coding system. The method comprises receiving a signal and performing entropy average coding to produce an entropy coded bit stream. Next, the method adds a tag to a beginning portion of the entropy coded bit stream. The tag comprises a plurality of headers, wherein each of the headers differs from one another, and wherein the headers comprise an elongated bit stream. Following this, the method reads the tag when processing the entropy coded bit stream and avoids subsequent entropy averaging on the entropy coded bit stream when the tag is present. The avoiding of the subsequent entropy averaging avoids unnecessary coding and entropy averaging of the entropy coded bit stream.

Abstract:

RFID tags to provide a relatively low power and power conserving wireless communication system to dynamically and automatically transfer all preselected data developed in designated digital devices to a centralized data processing system. Inclusion, in the target mobile wireless devices from which data is to be transferred, of an RFID tag, preferably passive, to minimize power consumption that is conventionally recognizable by a short range RF transceiver in the computer system to which data is to be transferred. Thus, each mobile wireless device being tracked includes a short range RFID tag, a short range RF transceiver and storage means for the digital data developed by the device that is to be transferred. The data processing system to which the transfer is to be made should include a short range RF transceiver for identifying all RFID tags within this short range boundary; and means, responsive to the system RF transceiver identifying the RFID tag in the mobile wireless device within said short range boundary, for transmitting a signal to said mobile device to trigger the mobile device transceiver to transmit stored digital data to the data processing system.

Abstract:

Minimizing the effects of the requisite AGWN packets on transmission channel utilization without diminishing any of the aesthetic quality of the AGWN white noise on the voice or audio communication. A system for minimizing the effect of required generated background noise on said transmission channel utilization comprising the combination of an implementation for forming a transmission stream of sequential digital audio data packets, associating with each audio packet a data code representation of the payload data packet enabling the generation of said background noise and an implementation at a receiving station, responsive to each of said data representations for forming the represented payload data packet enabling said generation of background noise together with means at said receiving station for interspersing said formed payload packets enabling background noise generation between said associated audio data packets and background noise generating means, at said receiving station, responsive to said enabling payload packets for generating the background noise between the audio data packets.

Abstract:

A method is provided, wherein a virtual internal master clock is used in connection with a RISC CPU. The RISC CPU comprises a number of concurrently operating function units, wherein each unit runs according to its own clocks, including multiple-stage totally unsynchronized clocks, in order to process a stream of instructions. The method includes the steps of generating a virtual model master clock having a clock cycle, and initializing each of the function units at the beginning of respectively corresponding processing cycles. The method further includes operating each function unit during a respectively corresponding processing cycle to carry out a task with respect to one of the instructions, in order to produce a result. Respective results are all evaluated in synchronization, by means of the master clock. This enables the instruction processing operation to be modeled using a sequential computer language, such as C or C++.

US Classification:

370256, 370351, 370408

Abstract:

A method for configuring routing devices in a network data processing system. A routing change is identified in the network data processing system. In response to the routing change being identified, a node topology is generated for a set of routing devices present in the network data processing system. A master network configuration table is built at a routing device within the set of routing devices. The network configuration table contains configuration data from the routing devices in the node topology. The master network configuration table is broadcast to the routing devices in the network data processing system.

Abstract:

A technique for updating computer-graphic digital images comprises coding a position of pixels located in a foreground of a computer-graphic image frame; sending the coded positions of the pixels located in the foreground of the computer-graphic image frame to a frame buffer of a sprite controller; separating a background pixel group from a foreground pixel group in the computer-graphic image frame based on the coded positions; updating the pixels in the foreground pixel group only; and transmitting a frame number and a frame buffer parameter dimension corresponding to the updated pixels to a computer-graphic image display viewer.
