摘要:
A technique for signal distortion compensation using a filter that can support a higher delay spread distortion without substantially increasing hardware complexity. In one example embodiment, an adaptive receiver design compensates for signal distortions with the use of non-uniform tap delay filters. The non-uniform tap delay filters are used to output an adaptively channel matched signal for decoding.

Systems, methods and articles of manufacture for generating sequences of face and expression aligned images are presented. An embodiment includes determining a plurality of candidate images, computing a similarity distance between an input image and each of the candidate images based on facial features in the input image and the candidate images, comparing the computed similarity distances, selecting a candidate image based on the comparing, and adding the selected candidate image to an image sequence for real-time display. Embodiments select images from the image sequence as they are being added to the image sequence and scale, rotate and translate each image so that a face appearing in a selected image is aligned with a face appearing in a subsequently selected image from the image sequence. In this way, embodiments are able to render arbitrarily large image collections efficiently and in real time to display a face and expression aligned movie.

A method, system and computer program product for conducting an online auction of a plurality of heterogeneous items between a plurality of selling and potential purchasing parties. The method includes the steps of accepting an offer in respect of an item, accepting one or more subsequent offers that is/are preferable to a previously accepted offer, and rejecting the previously accepted offer. While the offer/s is/are binding on a party making the offer, acceptance of the offer/s is/are not binding on a party accepting the offer. Classes of “seller strategies”, for offering items to potential purchasing parties, and “buyer strategies”, to decide which offers to accept, are also disclosed. As a result of the interaction of the buyer and seller strategies, the auction mechanism converges to an allocation of items to buyers at particular prices and assists in discovering a free and fair competitive equilibrium price. The auction is performed using terminals connected via a communications network and software-based agents hosted on the terminals, wherein the software-based agents act on behalf of the participating parties.
摘要:
A method for tuning performance of an operating system, the method comprising identifying all sources of operating system jitter; measuring the impact of each of the operating system jitter source; and tuning performance of the operating system, preferably by use of different approaches/techniques, which could include removing the sources of operating system jitter and/or delaying their execution and/or smoothening their execution over a longer period of time. Computer program code and systems are also provided.
摘要:
A spatio-temporal image of an object is reconstructed based on captured data characterizing the object. The spatio-temporal image comprises a plurality of spatial images in respective time intervals, and at least a given one of the spatial images in one of the time intervals is reconstructed using not only captured data from a frame associated with that time interval but also captured data associated with one or more additional frames associated with other time intervals. The spatio-temporal image may be reconstructed by iteratively obtaining a solution to a minimization or maximization problem in a sparse domain and transforming the solution to an image domain. The transformation between the sparse domain and the image domain may utilize a spatio-temporal transformation implemented using a plurality of basis functions, one or more of which may be determined at least in part based on secondary information associated with the imaged object.

摘要:
A decision feedback equalizer (DFE) has an inter symbol interference (ISI) loop and inter chip interference (ICI) loop. A buffer at the input of the DFE loop receives a (CCK based data rate) signal coming into the DFE, retains a predetermined number of chips from each incoming symbol and assists to meet timing requirements by chip management. An outgoing rate for the chips from the buffer may depend on the incoming rate and may be higher than the incoming rate by a known factor. A method of designing a configuration for the DFE takes into consideration the timing delay in the loops. The operation within the DFE loop is pipelined, and any latency due to the pipelining is handled at a CCK demodulator. A method for designing the DFE architecture and an article comprising a storage medium with instructions thereon for executing the method, are also disclosed.
摘要:
A system for receiving and handling a scrambled input data signal that includes a preamble with a start of frame delimiter (SFD) initiates an SFD search on the scrambled input data, thereby attempting to save an initialization period. The initialization period may be of the order of 7 μS, and its saving results in improved timeline management enabling antenna diversity and the possible use of high performance algorithms. The system may use two parallel paths for signal processing, each having an SFD detector and a descrambler. If the detected SFD is short, then the second path is disabled, and if it is long, then the first parallel path is disabled. Alternatively, the first path can be used for a finite period of time (for e.g., 40 symbols) and if the SFD is still not detected, the first path is disabled, and the system uses only the second path.
