Abstract: A method of detecting periodic activity patterns associated with the viewing of audio video content is described. The method includes: recording activity data in an activity log; suppressing the activity log one or more times to suppress non-relevant activity data thereby producing one or more sets of suppressed activity data; passing the one or more sets of suppressed activity data through a signal processing function to convert the one or more sets of suppressed activity data to one or more frequency responses; and analyzing the one or more frequency responses to detect the periodic activity patterns. Related apparatus and methods are also described.

Abstract: A load-bearing medical implant is disclosed that includes a load-bearing structure with a cavity extending into the outer surface of the structure. The cavity accommodates a sensor that is held in a fixed position within the cavity by an encapsulant. The cavity is covered by a plate that is welded over the cavity in close proximity to the sensor and encapsulant to provide a seal over the cavity and the electronic component without causing thermal damage to the encapsulant or sensor despite the close proximity of the encapsulant and sensor to the welded areas of the plate and structure. Methods for encapsulating the sensor in the cavity, methods for encapsulating a wire bus leading from the sensor through a channel in the implant and methods for pulsed laser welding of weld plate over the sensor and encapsulant with thermal damage to either are disclosed.

Abstract: This relates to interface circuits for synchronous protocols which do not rely on a dedicated high frequency clock signal. Instead, the interface circuit may rely on a clock signal received over the interface from another device in order to transfer data between the interface and an internal buffer. Furthermore, the interface circuits can rely on a clock signal provided by a bus for a device the interface circuit is located in to transfer data between the internal buffer and the bus. The internal buffer can be, but is not limited to a FIFO. Alternatively, it can be a stack or another data structure. The internal buffer can be configured so that each of its multiple of cells is a shift register. Thus, a preparatory step of moving a byte of data from the buffer to a separate shift register can be avoided.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are disclosed for ensuring processing fairness in simultaneous multi-threading (SMT) microprocessors. A clock cycle priority is assigned to a first thread and to a second thread during a standard selection state that lasts for an expected number of clock cycles by selecting the first thread to be a primary thread and the second thread to be a secondary thread. If a condition exists that requires overriding, an override state is executed by selecting the second thread to be the primary thread and the first thread to be the secondary thread. The override state is forced to be executed for an override period of time which equals the expected number of clock cycles plus a forced number of clock cycles. The forced number of clock cycles is granted to the first thread in response to the first thread again becoming the primary thread.
