Abstract:
A packet communication device is disclosed. The packet communication device may include a detector configured to detect a characterized content in incoming packets received by the packet communication device. The packet communication device may further include a play-out control configured to perform an adjustment of the incoming packets to produce adjusted packets and output the adjusted packets, if the detector has detected the characterized content in the incoming packets.
Abstract:
A method for performing a handoff for a mobile device from a first radio station to a second radio station. The method includes buffering a first media data set that is received through the first radio station. The method also includes cross-correlating a tail portion of the first media data set and a head portion of a second media data set to generate a cross-correlated media data set, if the second media data set is received through the second radio station. The method further includes synthesizing, using a modeled portion of the first media data set, a synthesized media data set, if no media data is received through the second radio station within a threshold. The method further includes extending the first media data set to generate an extended media data set, if no media data is received through the second radio station at the threshold.
Abstract:
An apparatus for canceling a signal is disclosed. The apparatus may include an identification code (ID code) generator configured to generate an ID code. The apparatus may also include an ID code injector configured to inject the ID code into at least one of the signal and a processed signal to produce a convolved signal. The processed signal is resulted from a processing of the signal. The apparatus may further include an ID code detector configured to detect at least one of the convolved signal, a transformed signal, and a transformation of the convolved signal. The transformed signal is resulted from the transformation of the convolved signal. The apparatus may further include an arithmetic function configured to remove at least one of the convolved signal and the transformed signal.
Abstract:
A method (90) and system (30) for wish fulfillment is provided. Accordingly, multiple participants are registered for wish allocation by a registration module (40), whereafter a minimum financial contribution is received from each participant. Against each contribution a coupon is issued to a participant by a coupon issuing module (46), which coupon is active on issuance and expires after a predetermined period of time. A participant records against each coupon a wish. A lottery module (50) of the system then selects from active, unexpired coupons a pool of potential winning coupons for a particular winnings period, which is published by the publishing module (52) in order for participants to review and vote on the pool of potential winning coupons thereby to select at least one winning wish for the particular winnings period. After wish allocation votes on the pool of potential winning coupons are received from participants during a voting period at least one wish which is associated with the coupon that received the highest number of votes out of the pool of potential winning coupons is rewarded.
