摘要:
Photography is employed to objectively quantify opacity of fluids such as smoke plumes and dust via a method termed the Digital Optical Method (DOM™). The DOM™ quantifies the ratio of radiance values by means of a camera response curve obtained using objective measures. The radiance ratios are then used to calculate opacity of target fluids such as smoke plumes. The DOM™ quantifies opacity during both daytime and nighttime conditions with a much broader range of subject types, e.g., white, gray and black smoke plumes, and environmental conditions, e.g., non-blue-sky, building, and mountain backgrounds, than existing systems while not requiring human interpretation for any application. In one embodiment, the DOM™ quantifies opacity from digital photos using a pre-designed algorithm and an inexpensive digital camera. Very little training is needed to implement the DOM™ and it yields consistent objective quantitative results, while providing a permanent photographic record easily digitally archived.

摘要:
An apparatus and method for optimizing detection thresholds used to identify addresses of tracks in a disc drive having a head and a disc upon which a plurality of tracks are defined, the tracks including track address fields in which track address information is stored. A comparator is provided which generates track address sequence signals in response to a corresponding plurality of readback signals obtained as the head is maintained in a fixed relationship to a selected track. A demodulator identifies erroneous track address sequence signals therefrom and increments a count in an accumulator for each detected, erroneous signal. A detection threshold circuit sequentially provides the comparator with a set of detection thresholds from a population of detection thresholds, each of which are used in turn by the comparator. An optimal set of thresholds is thereby selected for use by the disc drive in accordance with the relative number of erroneous track address sequence signals accumulated for each of the detection thresholds from the population.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for preventing IP multicast data stream from overloading the communication system by distinguishing multiple services. When a multicast data packet ‘packet (key)’ with its key value being ‘key’ reaches the forwarding layer, if it doesn't find the matching multicast route entry or matching multicast forwarding entry, and it satisfies the requirement of multicast protocol Assert state machine, then it searches for current-limiting policy list L (type, key) according to the key, and applies the searched current-limiting policy to multicast forwarding and packet up-sending. If it finds the matching multicast route entry and the protocol requests sending the multicast data packet to the protocol processor, the new multicast forwarding entry P_M(key) is formed with the current-limiting policy of distinguishing the service type(key), and P_M(key) is used to forward and up-send. The above-mentioned three current-limiting types may be used separately or combined freely. The method of the invention can use the corresponding policy based on distinguishing different multicast service streams so as to avoid a big flow of multiservice IP multicast data stream from overloading the IP communication devices.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for improving error rate performance in a communication channel utilizes a dual decision feedback equalizer (DDFE) through the application of selective attenuation. An improved DDFE comprises first and second decision feedback equalizers (DFEs) operably connected in parallel to receive a series of input signals zk. The DFEs independently generate two series of decisions â ;1k and â ;2k in relation to peak magnitudes of the series of transmitted signals zk by filtering the series of decisions â ;1k and â ;2k to generate filtered outputs (a*p)1k and (a*p)2k based on previous decisions, and summing the filtered outputs (a*p)1k and (a*p)2k with the transmitted input series zk to generate two series of decision variables ã1k and ã2k, to remove effects of intersymbol interference. The improved DDFE further comprises first and second attenuation blocks, so that when a mismatch is detected between the series of decisions â ;1k and â ;2k, a selective attenuation gain less than one is introduced into each feedback filter loop. This results in a reallocation of some of the decision energy associated with the correct series of decisions to the erroneous series and helps the erroneous DFE to make correct decisions sooner, thereby improving the error rate performance of the channel.
摘要:
An apparatus and method are disclosed for reducing the effects of thermal asperities and other anomalous conditions on disc drive read operations. An improved data block format is provided having first and second sync fields in which sync patterns are stored, the first and second sync fields being separated by a selected distance within the data block. The sync pattern of the second sync field enables synchronization of a disc drive read channel to the user data in the data block when the read channel fails to be synchronized by the sync pattern of the first sync field. In one embodiment, control information used by the read channel to prepare for receipt of the user data is stored in a field between the first and second sync fields; in an alternative embodiment, a portion of the user data is stored between the first and second sync fields.
摘要:
An apparatus and associated method are disclosed for recovering user data from a data block in a disc drive in which user data are stored by way of a plurality of blocks on tracks of a disc, the blocks including data blocks in which the user data are stored in predefined increments. A head generates readback signals from the blocks and a read channel reconstructs the user data from the readback signals. An automatic gain control stage establishes a gain used to amplify the readback signal to a level suitable for use by the read channel. When an uncorrected read error is detected, the disc drive proceeds to read a previous block sequentially preceding the affected data block and sets the gain to a fixed value based upon the readback signals determined from the previous block. The fixed value of gain is then used to recover the user data from the affected data block.
