Abstract:
A receiver is optimized by adapting the taps of a decision feedback equalizer component within the receiver. Data decisions and error decisions are generated. These data decision and error decisions are used to derive an error rate of data by measuring the number of margin hits that occur. A balance value is also calculated from the data decisions and the error decisions. The balance value is used to update a tap of the decision feedback equalizer. The updating of the tap continues until the number of margin hits has been minimized.
Abstract:
In particular embodiments, a system is described that includes one or more management servers comprising instructions operable when executed to present a user interface displayable at a remote host computer, the user interface enabling a user at the remote host computer to input management information for managing a mobile device; receive the management information input by the user; update configuration information in a configuration database for the mobile device based on the management information; and send the configuration information to the mobile device for configuring the mobile device. In particular embodiments, the instructions are further operable when executed to access one or more third party servers; pull third party information from the third party servers; aggregate and reconcile the pulled third party information with the configuration information stored in the configuration information database; and store the reconciled configuration information in the configuration information database.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, a personal communications browser client is provided. In an embodiment, a method is provided. The method includes displaying a set of communications interfaces in a user interface. The method further includes receiving data related to a schedule of communications. Also, the method includes receiving data related to people participating in communications of the schedule of communications. Additionally, the method includes modifying the set of communications interfaces responsive to data related to people participating in communications. Moreover, the method includes predicting upcoming communications sessions responsive to data related to the schedule of communications. The method also includes modifying the set of communications interfaces responsive to the predicting.
Abstract:
A multipart response generation system generates content (such as pages) that may contain mixed linked content that is referenced by a separate locator. When a page is requested (during a “primary request”), the image and PDF file, for example, based on specific input from the user are generated and each piece of the generated content with a specific locator is associated therewith. The generated content may be stored in a cache with a specific expiration time. The page rendered to the client contains the associated locators as well as any static content such that the client automatically fetches (as secondary requests) the content in accordance with the associated locators. The secondary requests are retrieved, the generated content from the cache are retrieved, the correct content-type in the response are specified and then returned to the client, which displays the returned mixed content within the page.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for aligning a loadport on a process machine are disclosed. The apparatus is constructed by a base plate, an alignment block mounted on the base plate, a light source and an optical detector. The alignment block is provided with an aperture extending longitudinally through the block, or formed in a T-shape extending both longitudinally and transversely through the block. The light source may be suitably a laser emission source, or a laser source that operates in a pulse mode. The diameter of the aperture provided in the alignment block should be sufficiently small, i.e. smaller than 5 mm, and preferably smaller than 3 mm.
Abstract:
A system and method allows panels to be dragged into position using an icon displayed on a selector user interface or from another position, and as the panels are moved over a position in which another panel is displayed, the other panel, and panels in subsequent positions, are animated to move out of the position over which the panel being dragged is positioned.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, computer program and user interface wherein the method comprises: displaying on a display of an apparatus a plurality of items comprising a first subset of items and a second subset of items wherein the first subset of the plurality of items comprise notifications of events associated with the apparatus and the second subset of the plurality items comprise notifications of events occurring at one or more external servers.
Abstract:
A system and method provides a tabbed user interface in which labels may be used to select one of a plurality of data elements, but only the selected label is displayed with a tab, the other labels being displayed without a tab. Feedback, such as by underlining a label when the user hovers the mouse over it, is provided to allow the user to identify that an action will occur if one of the non-tabbed labels is clicked.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, a personal communications browser client is provided. In an embodiment, a communications client operable on a remote computer is provided. The client includes a media player and a content file accessible by the media player. The media player operates responsive to the content file. The media player implements the communications client. The media player implements a user interface and a server interface. The media player receives schedule data related to upcoming communications sessions. The media player predicts upcoming communications sessions. The media player modifies the user interface in conjunction with predicted upcoming communications sessions.
Abstract:
A receiver is optimized by adapting parameters of components within the receiver. Various component parameters are adapted by using either a least means squared algorithm or a steepest descent algorithm. The taps of a decision feedback equalizer can be adapted by using either a least means squared algorithm or a steepest descent algorithm. The gain value of a linear equalizer and the input of a digital to analog converter coupled to the linear equalizer are also adapted through the least means squared algorithm or a steepest descent algorithm. A variable gain amplifier is also capable of being adapted through the use of the least means squared algorithm. Clock offsets are also configured by use of a steepest descent algorithm.
