Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for processing media data for transmission in a data communication medium. A set of data indicates how to transmit a time related sequence of media data according to a transmission protocol. The set of data, includes a time related sequence of data which is associated with the time related sequence of media data. The set of data may be utilized by a digital processing system to transmit the time related sequence of media data (e.g., by packets generated according to the transmission protocol and the set of data).

Abstract: The invention provides for the coordination of client/server processes. One or more embodiments provide a completion object comprised of various states of completion of a client request. The completion object may be manipulated to transition from one state to another by both the client and server. The following states of completion may be provided: idle, ready, active, completing, completed, and acknowledged. In the idle state, the completion object is obtained by the client (by constructing a new object or retrieving an existing object that has been recycled). In the ready state, the request has been initialized but not yet issued to the server or I/O device. In the active state, the server processes the I/O request. In the completing state, the server has completed the I/O operations requested but has not yet stored the results. In the completed state, the server stores the results to be returned to the client and notifies the client. At the acknowledged state, the client examines the results, performs additional operations and frees up the completion object for use by another client request. Depending on the state of the completion object, a request to cancel the I/O operations may require varying actions. The completion object provides the ability to easily and quickly determine where in the completion process an I/O request is. Further, when a client request is canceled, the completion object provides the ability to easily identify the actions necessary to properly cancel the request.

Abstract translation: 本发明提供了客户端/服务器进程的协调。 一个或多个实施例提供了由客户端请求完成的各种状态组成的完成对象。 可以通过客户端和服务器两者来操纵完成对象以从一个状态转换到另一个状态。 可以提供以下完成状态：空闲，准备，主动，完成，完成和确认。 在空闲状态下，完成对象由客户端获取（通过构建新对象或检索已被回收的现有对象）。 在就绪状态下，请求已初始化，但尚未发送到服务器或I / O设备。 在活动状态下，服务器处理I / O请求。 在完成状态下，服务器已完成请求的I / O操作，但尚未存储结果。 在完成状态下，服务器将要返回的结果存储到客户端并通知客户端。 在确认状态下，客户端检查结果，执行其他操作，并释放完成对象以供另一客户端请求使用。 根据完成对象的状态，取消I / O操作的请求可能需要不同的操作。 完成对象提供了轻松快速地确定完成过程中I / O请求的位置的能力。 此外，当客户端请求被取消时，完成对象提供了容易地识别正确地取消请求所需的动作的能力。

Abstract: A computer readable medium containing program instructions for controlling a parametric equalizer is provided. Generally, a computer readable code is provided for displaying a composite equalization curve, wherein the composite equalization curve is formed from at least a first frequency filter with a first center frequency, a second frequency filter with a second center frequency, and a third frequency filter with a third center frequency. A computer readable code is provided for allowing a dragging movement of the first center frequency, the second center frequency, and the third center frequency.

Abstract: The invention receives a request to store a file having a filename written in a first text encoding, converts the filename into a Unicode filename and stores the Unicode filename and the file into memory. The invention then sets a flag, associated with the memory, indicating that a first text encoding has been used. To retrieve a Unicode filename, the invention receives a request to locate a Unicode filename from memory. Next, the invention uses a predetermined text encoding to convert the filename into Unicode. The invention then searches for the Unicode filename in the memory. If the Unicode filename is not found, the invention uses a next text encoding from the set of text encodings which have been used, to repeat the conversion and searches the memory until the Unicode filename is identified. Lastly, the Unicode file is retrieved.

Abstract translation: 本发明接收到存储具有以第一文本编码编写的文件的文件的请求，将文件名转换为Unicode文件名，并将Unicode文件名和文件存储到存储器中。 然后，本发明设置与存储器相关联的标志，指示已经使用第一文本编码。 要检索Unicode文件名，本发明接收到从内存中查找Unicode文件名的请求。 接下来，本发明使用预定的文本编码将文件名转换为Unicode。 然后，本发明在存储器中搜索Unicode文件名。 如果未找到Unicode文件名，本发明使用已经使用的一组文本编码中的下一个文本编码，重复转换并搜索内存，直到识别出Unicode文件名。 最后，检索Unicode文件。

Abstract: A system and method is described which provides for context checking of an operating environment. A context manager controls the execution of context checks requested by applications or processes. In one embodiment, the context check modules are defined as self-contained modules located in a database. When the data base is opened, these modules are loaded and registered with the context manager. Upon occurrence of certain user actions, the context manager will issue an event to cause the appropriate modules to perform a context check of certain context of the environment. The resulting context information is stored in memory by the context manager and provided to the applications by the context manager when needed. One advantage is that the context checks performed can be changed simply by adding or deleting modules from the database. In other embodiments, context checking functions can also be provided by providing context files, which are loaded at initiation of the context manager and are independent of the database utilized, and by providing certain highly repeatable functions within the function of the context manager itself.

Abstract translation: 描述了提供对操作环境的上下文检查的系统和方法。 上下文管理器控制应用程序或进程请求的上下文检查的执行。 在一个实施例中，上下文检查模块被定义为位于数据库中的自包含模块。 当数据库打开时，这些模块被加载并注册到上下文管理器。 在发生某些用户动作时，上下文管理器将发出一个事件以使适当的模块执行环境某些上下文的上下文检查。 所得到的上下文信息由上下文管理器存储在存储器中，并且在需要时由上下文管理器提供给应用。 一个优点是可以简单地通过从数据库中添加或删除模块来更改执行的上下文检查。 在其他实施例中，还可以通过提供上下文文件来提供上下文检查功能，所述上下文文件在上下文管理器的启动时加载并且独立于所使用的数据库，并且通过在上下文管理器本身的功能内提供某些高度可重复的功能。
