Abstract:
A universal smart interface and peripheral management system for portable devices such as mobile phones. The smart system includes a connector interface that connects peripherals to a phone and/or personal digital assistant (PDA), through the smart system. The smart system includes a cradle for receiving a cell phone and interfacing the phone to external systems such as peripherals, networks and other systems through a USB hub and other suitable connector interfaces. The peripheral devices to which the smart system can interface include, but are not limited to, large displays (e.g., television), external monitors, input devices such as mice and keyboards, external storage devices, and networks (wired and/or wireless). The smart system also facilitates connectivity to large display systems such as TVs, computer displays and monitors.
Abstract:
This invention relates to an aggregation sensor useful for the detection and analysis of aggregants in a sample, and methods, articles and compositions relating to such a sensor. The sensor comprises first and second optically active units, where energy may be transferred from an excited state of the first optically active unit to the second optically active unit. The second optically active unit is present in a lesser amount, but its relative concentration is increased upon aggregation, increasing its absorption of energy from the first optically active units. This increase in energy transfer can be detected in variety of formats to produce an aggregation sensing system for various aggregants, including for quantitation. Other variations of the inventions are described further herein.

Abstract:
Disclosed are embodiments of systems and methods for embedding and/or extracting data from images. In embodiments, an image may be segmented into regions, and characters or other image groups within a segmented region may be determined to be embedding sites. A data vector may be embedded into a set of corresponding ordered embedding sites by representing each data element as different intensity values assigned to the pixels within one portion of an embedding site relative to the pixels in another portion of the embedding site. In embodiments, embedded data may be extracted from an image by extracting and decoding a set of bit values from a set of identified and ordered embedding sites.

Abstract:
A support stand for a flat-panel display monitor includes a hinge assembly and a support structure having a top end partially receiving the hinge assembly. The hinge assembly includes a first latching module. The first latching module includes an elastic member and a movable plate connected to the elastic member. The support structure includes a second latching module detachably connected to the first latching module. The second latching module includes a positioning plate having a latching portion extending from a bottom surface thereof. The latching portion is capable of latching with the movable plate. When the movable plate is pressed, the elastic member is deformed so that the second latching module is detached from the first latching module.
Abstract:
Aspects of a method and system for compensation of interference cancellation delay are provided. In this regard, a wireless communication device may receive one or more signals and may be operable to select, whether dynamically or statically, a processing path for processing the one or more received signals. The selected processing path may comprise one of an interference cancellation processing path and a pass-through processing path. A delay introduced by the pass-through processing path may be approximately equal to a processing delay introduced by the interference cancellation processing path. The one or more received signals may comprise HSDPA signals. The selection of processing path may be based on a measure of interference present in the one or more received signals.
Abstract:
Disclosed are embodiments of systems and methods for suppressing the background of an image. In embodiments, the number of foreground pixels or background pixels within a neighborhood of an identified background pixel may be compared against an aggressiveness threshold. Responsive to the number of foreground pixels within a neighborhood of an identified background pixel not exceeding an aggressiveness threshold, the color of the identified background pixel may be changed to an average local background color. Alternatively, responsive to the number of background pixels within a neighborhood of an identified background pixel exceeding an aggressiveness threshold, the color of the identified background pixel may be changed to an average local background color. In embodiments, additional processes may be performed on the image including, but not limited to, color adjusting, filtering, image enhancing, compression, format conversion, watermarking, special effects, video editing, etc.
Abstract:
A UE in an URA_PCH state or a Cell_PCH state receives a HS-PDSCH without an associated HS-SCCH. No dedicated H-RNTI is assigned to the UE. The received HS-PDSCH is separately processed using one or more different predetermined transport format. The different predetermined transport formats are identified from associated HS-DSCH paging system information block. The UE starts blindly processing the received HS-PDSCH by determining a set of configuration parameters according to a first transport format of the identified predetermined transport formats. One or more associated device components such as hardware components of the UE are configured using the determined set of configuration parameters. The configured device components are used to perform HARQ processing, IR combining and/or Turbo decoding on the received HS_PDSCH without associated HS_SCCH. The UE continuously processes the received HS-PDSCH using the next available predetermined transport format when a CRC test completes with an error.
Abstract:
A UE receives HSDPA traffic comprising legacy HSDPA traffic and HS-SCCH-less HSDPA traffic. The UE concurrently processes the received legacy HSDPA traffic and the received HS-SCCH-less HSDPA traffic. The received HSDPA traffic is concurrently buffered into a first storage and a second storage to support simultaneously receiving legacy HSDPA traffic and HS-SCCH-less HSDPA traffic. A HARQ process is performed on the buffered HSDPA traffic in the first storage or the second storage according to a corresponding HS-SCCH CRC test. The resulting HARQ processed HSDPA traffic is Turbo decoded. Turbo decoding on the previously HARQ processed HSDPA traffic is performed simultaneously with HARQ processing on the buffered HSDPA traffic in the first storage or the second storage. The buffered HS-SCCH-less HSDPA traffic is processed via HARQ processing and Turbo decoding for each of the four pre-determined transport formats.
