Abstract:
An ASK modulator includes a baseband unit which obtains a sequence comprising at least one amplitude value and adds an additional value to each of the at least one amplitude value to generate a modified sequence; a digital-to-analog converter coupled to the baseband unit, the digital-to-analog converter converts the modified sequence to generate a first signal, the additional value is determined based on a half scale of the digital-analog converter; and a mixer which receives the first signal and a second signal and generate a modulated signal by mixing the first signal with the second signal.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the technical field of performance management for IT systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to a technology of performing monitoring on demand for a complex IT system. According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of system monitoring that includes: monitoring a performance parameter of a client of the system, determining, based on the performance parameter of the client, whether to monitor a service endpoint directly called by the client, locating the service endpoint to be monitored in response to a determination to monitor the service endpoint directly called by the client, and monitoring a performance parameter of the service endpoint.

Abstract:
A gaming system for playing a wagering game includes a wager input device, a display, and a controller. The wager input device receives a wager input from a player. The display displays an arrangement of symbols including primary symbols and connector symbols, wherein at least some of the primary symbols are separated from each other and at least two primary symbols are connected with one of the connector symbols. Further, at least some of the primary symbols have corresponding awards. The controller is programmed to cause a sequential display of outcomes, which is initiated with a first primary symbol and which includes other primary symbols that are connected, via one or more of the connector symbols, to the first primary symbol. The player is provided with a payout related to the awards of the primary symbols that are part of the sequential display of outcomes.
Abstract:
A pretreatment process for a magnesium alloy wheel is provided. The process flow is as follows: washing with hot water; degreasing; washing with hot water; acid washing for surface adjustment; washing with water; washing with pure water; performing chromium-free conversion treatment; washing with pure water; washing with pure water; sealing film; washing with pure water; baking; and spraying (electrophoresis). The process of the present invention can improve corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys and adhesion of surface coating thereof, realizing durable use of the surface of the magnesium alloy wheel. An immersion type treatment is adopted in the pretreatment, and therefore the process time is short, and the formed film is uniform and has good compactness. Application standard for corrosion-resistance of wheels can be reached by combining the pretreatment process with spraying and electrophoresis.
Abstract:
Systems and method can be provided for selecting advertising payloads for display in an available advertising impression location. The advertising payloads can be selected based on an auction between various types of hosted and third party campaigns, including hosted reserved advertising campaigns and hosted non-reserved advertising campaigns. The rules of the auction can be set and/or updated over time to allow hosted campaigns to meet desired goals, such as delivering a minimum number of impressions or spending an expect budget amount.

Abstract:
The claimed subject matter provides a method for testing on-line advertising. An exemplary method comprises determining a need for test for an advertising campaign based on performance of the advertising campaign. The exemplary method also includes determining whether the need for test exceeds a predetermined threshold. Additionally, the exemplary method includes allocating a test impression to a buy control placement of the advertising campaign based on the need for test.
Abstract:
A manufacturing method for a high-temperature-resistant metal-packaged fiber Bragg grating sensor includes using a regenerated fiber Bragg grating obtained via high-temperature annealing as a sensitive element so that the grating will not be erased when used at high temperature. The method also includes using a magnetron sputtering method which makes an optical fiber and metal combine better to form on the surface of the optical fiber an adhesive layer and a conductive layer, thereby causing little damage to optical fiber because of the absence of the processes of coarsening, sensitization, etc. of electroless plating and the fact that the method is performed in an anhydrous environment. After magnetron sputtering, the method includes using an electroplating method to thicken and deposit a protective layer, and embedding the optical fiber in a flexible-structure metallic substrate through the electroplating method to achieve the all-metal package.
