摘要:
Methods and systems are described for combining sources in a data compression system. In a system in which a context model results in the production of multiple sources or symbols, each source being associated with a probability estimate, sources may be combined by defining another, reduced size, set of probabilities. The new set of probabilities may be a subset of the predefined set of probabilities provided by the context model. Minimizing relative entropy may be a basis upon which to define a mapping of predefined probabilities to the new set of probabilities. An input sequence that was modeled using the context model may then be entropy encoded and entropy decoded using the new set of probabilities based on a mapping between the new probabilities and the predefined probabilities.

Disclosed are various apparatus and methods for discriminating between fake and reject coins. The term coin includes any type of monetary token or token that is associated with a value. Various different apparatus and methods are disclosed. These include a method and apparatus of applying multiple input currents of different frequencies to a coin and monitoring the apparent change in impedance of a coil or coils resulting from eddy currents induced in the layers of the coin from the multiple input currents. Other methods and apparatus relate to applying electromagnetic radiation to the coin and measuring various resulting characteristics including the amount of light fluoresced or reflected from the coin, or the absorption characteristic of the coin. Other methods and apparatus relate to measuring vibration of a coin. Other methods and apparatus relate to identifying genuine and bogus coins via particular identifying characteristics of the coins including magnetic codes/serial numbers.

A method executed on a first electronic device for accessing an application server on a second electronic device includes receiving a cache manifest for an application, the cache manifest identifying a resource item that can be pre-cached on the first electronic device, pre-caching the resource item as a cached resource item in a cache memory of the first electronic device prior to launching an application client on the first electronic device. The method further includes, upon launching the application client on the first electronic device, retrieving data from the application server, wherein the data includes content and a reference to the resource item, obtaining, from the cache memory, the cached resource item that corresponds to the resource item, and displaying an output based upon the content and the cached resource item.

Methods and apparatus to obtain voice messages are disclosed. One example method includes receiving at a mobile device an indication to access voicemail, determining if visual voicemail is available, and initiating a call to a voicemail system in response to determining that visual voicemail is unavailable.

A method (500) for adjusting object illumination with a mobile device (100) having a display device (118) is described. The method includes detecting (510) illumination of an object and generating illumination data information; and adjusting (520) a luminance of the display device in dependence on the object illumination data to adjust image lighting.

There is disclosed one or more methods, systems and components therefor for selecting information to be delivered for presentation by an electronic communication device. The operations of selecting are responsive to a plurality of criteria including attributes of a prior purchase associated with the electronic communication device. The information selected may comprise content reinforcing the prior purchase. An attribute of the prior purchase may comprise a purchase price. The operations of selecting may be configured to choose an amount or a quality level of the information which varies in proportion to an attribute of the prior purchase. One such attribute may be the purchase price. One such attribute may be a relative popularity of the prior purchase among consumers, product reviewers, etc.

The present disclosure provides a system and method for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) user agent identification and efficient binding. In accordance with one example embodiment, there is provided a method for use on a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) registration server for registering user agents, comprising: receiving a REGISTER message which includes a binding key; determining whether a prior binding associated with the binding key exists in a registration repository; and creating a new binding associated with the binding key and adding the new binding to the registration repository when no prior binding associated with the binding key exists in the registration repository.
