A stochastic time-digital converter (STDC) including an input switching circuit, an STDC array, and an encoder. A clock circuit inputs two clock signals into two input terminals of the input switching circuit; the input switching circuit transmits the two clock signals in a cyclic cross-transposition form to two input terminals of the STDC array, and simultaneously outputs a trigger control signal to the encoder; each comparator in the STDC array independently judges the speeds of the two clock signals and sends the judgement results to the encoder for collection and processing; and the encoder outputs the size and positivity or negativity of the phase difference of the two clock signals. The technical solution utilizes the stochastic characteristic of the STDC to double the number of the equivalent comparators in the STDC array, eliminating the effects on the circuitry of device mismatching and processes, power supply voltage, and temperature.

Deblocking filters are disclosed, where the nature of the filter is determined based upon the level of detail of a reconstructed video frame in the region in which the block boundary is located. One embodiment of the method of the invention includes identifying a boundary between two blocks of the reconstructed video frame, determining the level of detail of the reconstructed video frame in a region in which the block boundary is located, wherein the region includes pixels from multiple rows and multiple columns of the reconstructed video frame and includes at least one pixel that is not immediately adjacent the block boundary and selecting a filter to apply to predetermined pixels on either side of the block boundary based upon the determined level of detail.

Content synchronization in a file sharing environment is described. A node in a circle share maintains a version vector that represents that node's knowledge of file synchronization events. Version vector data may be transmitted between nodes of the circle share via a presence service in the form of short notification messages. The version vector data is compared to identify one or more nodes to be synchronized. A resource-aware overlay representing the circle share is computed, and is used to initiate communication to determine which of the available nodes with which to synchronize will provide the most synchronization value to other nodes in the circle share.

Techniques and technologies for routing communications based on Quality of Service (QOS) related information. More particularly, this document discloses techniques and technologies for selecting communications paths which partially overlap other communication paths for which QOS related information has been measured. The techniques and technologies include determining, performance levels for path segments within the communication paths from the measured QOS information.

A multiple protection group (MPG) erasure-resilient coding method for constructing MPG codes for encoding and decoding data. The MPG codes constructed herein protect data chunks of data in multiple protection groups and subgroups. In general, the MPG erasure-resilient codes are constructed by locating data chunks into multiple protection groups and assigning at least one parity chunk to each protection group. Basic MPG codes are constructed from existing Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) codes by splitting at least some of the parity chunks into local parities for each of the multiple protection groups and projecting local parities onto each of the groups. Generalized MPG codes have a Maximally Recoverable property that can be used to determine whether an erasure pattern is recoverable or unrecoverable. Generalized MPG codes can recover any erasure pattern that is recoverable.

A method for message interworking, a Session Initiation System messaging server, an interworking gateway and a system for message interworking are disclosed. The method for message interworking includes: receiving, by an SIP messaging server, an SIP message, and routing the SIP message to a recipient; receiving an SIP response to the SIP message; sending the SIP message to an interworking gateway when it is determined that message interworking is required, so that the interworking gateway may perform a protocol conversion on the SIP message and send the converted non-SIP message to a corresponding non-SIP messaging system, or, so that the interworking gateway may establish a session between the interworking gateway itself and a sender terminal, receive an SIP session message via the established session, perform a protocol conversion on the SIP session message and then send the converted non-SIP message to a corresponding non-SIP messaging system.

Charting a content distribution system (CDN) involves identifying a set of DNS servers that may be used as vantage points to test delay performance to a CDNs content server. As provided herein, to identify potential vantage point DNS servers, a set of authoritative name servers is identified and, from that set, those authoritative name servers that respond to a DNS query are identified as responsive authoritative name servers. Identifying a CDN content server that serves a particular vantage point DNS server involves retrieving an IP address for the CDN content server from a DNS query to the DNS server corresponding to the vantage point. The delay performance between the vantage point DNS server and the CDN content server can then be determined. Further, one can determine locations to deploy new data centers for a CDN based on delay performance, A delay from one or more vantage points to an existing CDN's DNS servers can be measured, and desired rank of locations can be generated. A location of a new data center can be selected based on a desired delay performance ranking.

Various embodiments can utilize a distributed solution for scheduling connections between peers in a file sharing environment. In accordance with at least some embodiments, individual nodes in a peer-to-peer system include scheduling software that enables the nodes to make scheduling decisions with regard to how, when and where connections are made with other peers. Scheduling decisions can be based on a number of different parameters. In at least some embodiments, a synchronization negotiation manager is embodied with logic that drives the negotiation and scheduling process. This logic is represented by an innovative state machine that is designed to implement the negotiation and synchronization process.
