Abstract:
Disclosed is an adaptive hardware resource allocation architecture that results in power consumption reduction. The architecture incorporates a novel concept in that the system resources can be optimally configured based on estimated processing requirements for the OFDMA mobile unit. The estimation is based on data burst attributes, data burst statistics, and message types.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed herein to provide low pass filters. For example, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a synchronous low pass filter is disclosed. The filter may be employed, for example, to suppress signal transients in power supply monitoring applications.
Abstract:
A system and method comprising, sharing information between a plurality of participants in a collaboration; and exposing a set of functions that enable a participant in the plurality of participants to share the information, the set of functions comprising: first functions to facilitate establishing a context in which to interact with the plurality of participants; and second functions to facilitate storing and retrieving one or more values from a shared state, wherein the shared state is accessible within the context.
Abstract:
A method for allowing a collaboration process to perform actions on behalf of a client process, comprising: receiving a message from the client process; impersonating a user for the purposes of performing an action on behalf of the user; performing the action with the same privilege(s) of the user; and wherein the client process and the collaboration process are part of a collaboration.
Abstract:
A system and method for establishing a collaboration, comprising, requesting help from a collaboration process wherein the requesting is done by a first client process; evaluating a role to dynamically determine a set of potential participants; selecting a second client process from the set of potential participants; inviting the second client process to join the collaboration; including the second client process in the collaboration with the first client process and the collaboration process; and allowing the first client process and the second client process to exchange one or more messages.
Abstract:
Reinforced hose, especially useful for transmitting synthetic transmission fluids and having enhanced thermal resistance includes a chlorinated polyethylene tube which is vulcanized with a blend of peroxides and cross-linking coagents to provide resistance to degradation caused by synthetic transmission oil. A plasticizer comprised of a blend of polymeric and ester based materials provides improved high temperature and low temperature properties. The tube is reinforced by a woven layer of metal wire which is in turn covered by a rubber adhesive layer that is overlain by a woven layer of yarn. The woven yarn braid is covered with a coating of polyurethane material in order to improve abrasion resistance and to prevent yarn fiber from being caught on rough surfaces that the hose may be dragged across. The entire hose is vulcanized after its assembly and then rapidly cooled. While the hose is especially suitable for transmission oil coolers, it also has use in power steering and fuel delivery systems, as well as any other systems which may be thermally stressed and which convey fluids that may cause degradation of hoses.
Abstract:
This specification describes a twinned pair of optical fibers having two optical fibers twisted about each other axially. Also described is a fiber optics cable having at least one twinned pair of optical fibers.
Abstract:
A pipeline inspection tool has a spirally arranged series of blocks, with each block having a magnet and at least one magnetic flux sensor. An axially extending support may be provided which terminates in mounts and the series of blocks may be mounted between the mounts. The support may be arranged so as to permit bending of said series of blocks but resist torsion of said series of blocks. A supporting tendon may extend from a second of the mounts through a first opening in each block around a tendon supporting pulley of the first of the mounts and back through a second opening in each block to the second mount. A compression spring surrounding each arm of the tendon between the tendon support and the series of blocks. The magnet of each block may be arranged such that a like pole of each magnet is at one side of the series of blocks. The poles of each magnet may be longitudinally elongated and the longitudinally elongated poles may be directed along an axis of said tool. The magnetic flux sensors of each block may be between the poles of the magnet of each block.
