46results about How to "Eliminate calculations" patented technology

The present invention is to realize a data storage control method and apparatus for an external storage device using flash memories. The method and apparatus can eliminate the data erasure waiting time, eliminating the calculation of the erasure numbers of flash memories, elongating the life-time of the flash memories. Data is stored sequentially from a first flash memory for rewrite data to a third flash memory for rewrite data. When there is no vacant area in the third flash memory for rewrite data, a CPU instructs a first flash memory for garbage collection among the first and second flash memories for garbage collection to perform the garbage collection of the first flash memory for rewrite data. When a host computer issues a write access request, the write process is performed in the first flash memory for garbage collection with the first priority. When the garbage collection of the first flash memory for rewrite data has been completed, the garbage collection of the second flash memory for rewrite data is performed by the second flash memory for garbage collection. At the time of performing the garbage collection of the second flash memory for rewrite data, the data of the first flash memory for rewrite data is simultaneously erased. The first flash memory for garbage collection is changed into a flash memory for rewrite data by the CPU. Upon completion of the garbage collection of the second flash memory for rewrite data, the data thereof is simultaneously erased and the second flash memory for garbage collection is changed into a flash memory for rewrite data. Then, the garbage collection of the third flash memory for rewrite data is performed in the similar manner.

A packaged residential fire pump system for sprinkler protection of one- and two-family dwellings. The system independently provides sufficient water pressure, and volume, for a two sprinkler flow for a period of time. An existing domestic water supply is supplemented with a dead water storage tank. The system can be combined with hydraulically sized, or scheduled, system piping and sprinkler heads.

Disclosed is a LMMSE receiver that restores orthogonality of spreading codes in the downlink channel for a spread spectrum signal received over N receive antennas. The FFT-based chip equalizer tap solver reduces the direct matrix inverse of the prior art to the inverse of some submatrices of size N×N with the dimension of the receive antennas, and most efficiently reduces matrix inverses to no larger than 2×2. Complexity is further reduced over a conventional Fast Fourier Transform approach by Hermitian optimization to the inverse of submatrices and tree pruning. For a receiver with N=4 or N=2 with double oversampling, the resulting 4×4 matrices are partitioned into 2×2 block sub-matrices, inverted, and rebuilt into a 4×4 matrix. Common computations are found and repeated computations are eliminated to improve efficiency. Generic design architecture is derived from the special design blocks to eliminate redundancies in complex operations. Optimally, the architecture is parallel and pipelined.

A decoding method for unary / kth order exponential Golomb (UEGk) codes is provided. The first step is a receiving step: receiving N bits from an input stream and updating a bit count. If the N bits are all one, the receiving step is re-performed. If the N bits includes zero, a searching step is performed to find a first value based on the bit count. Subsequently, according to the bit count and a threshold value, a remaining bit number M is calculated. A second value is generated based on M remaining bits received from the input stream. Then, the first value and the second value are added, so as to generate an index.

A software emulator for emulating a handheld video game platform such as GAME BOY®, GAME BOY COLOR® and / or GAME BOY ADVANCE® on a low-capability target platform (e.g., a seat-back display for airline or train use, a personal digital assistant, a cell phone) uses a number of features and optimizations to provide high quality graphics and sound that nearly duplicates the game playing experience on the native platform. Some exemplary features include use of bit BLITing, graphics character reformatting, modeling of a native platform liquid crystal display controller using a sequential state machine, and selective skipping of frame display updates if the game play falls behind what would occur on the native platform.

A method for detecting color temperature and an apparatus thereof are disclosed. According to the present invention, the apparatus for detecting color temperature converts RGB color information, generated by interpolating an image signal sequentially inputted in units of pixel from an image sensor, to a three-dimensional coordinate value of luminance, R-G color difference information, and B-G color difference information, and then renews the added value per color, if included in a filtering zone corresponding to a characteristic curve of the image sensor. Then, an average value per color is generated in units of frame, and the compensation rate per color is determined such that the average value per color becomes identical to each other. With the present invention, accurate colors can be displayed by detecting the color temperature of the current light source and correcting the distorted color information.

The method serves to compensates anisotropy in an inertial rotation sensor comprising a metallized vibrating bell (1) having a bias voltage applied thereto, the vibrating bell (1) having an edge (7) electrodes (5.1, 5.2), and the method comprises the steps of measuring, preferably by multiplexing, the anisotropy between the electrodes and of applying to the electrodes a fraction of the bias voltage that depends on the differences measured between the electrodes.

Multi-user detection (MUD) performance is optimized to eliminate redundant use of power during processing. An overbuilt A-matrix, i.e., a system response matrix, is provided. The overbuilt A-matrix uses all possible codes, e.g., all codes identified in a candidate code list (CCL) provided by blind code detection (BCD). The overbuilt A-matrix is passed to the MUD which extracts only those rows or columns required for codes that have actually been received, thus eliminating the need to recompute whitening matched filter (WMF) outputs that do not correspond to the actually received code.

A system for controlling an active electronically scanned array (AESA) antenna, which enables the AESA antenna to switch rapidly between different antenna states, includes memories (38) connected to a common address bus (40). Each memory (38) is also connected to a digitally controlled RF signal transmission block (32) within the AESA antenna, and stores digital control words for the digitally controlled RF signal transmission block (32). When a new address is provided on the address bus (40), each memory (38) outputs a new digital control word to its respective digitally controlled RF signal transmission block (32), causing a change in the state of the AESA antenna.

The invention discloses an axle wire generating method of a random quadrangular curved surface for product three-dimensional data processing. Combination of a locus method and a movable Frenet frame is adopted, and a simple and quick axle wire generating algorithm is provided. A B-rep three-dimensional solid model which is frequently applied to engineering problems has specific border definition, information of top points, sides and faces of the model are specifically stored in a model file, the specific information can be used for simplifying an axle wire generating method in the traditional locus method, and therefore data size needed in generation of an axle wire is reduced. The specific border information in the B-rep model is used as conditions of the axle wire generating method, calculation of branch points is omitted through features of a bisector, and factors influencing the precision of the axle wire are reduced. Density of inserting points can be controlled to guarantee the precision of the axle wire.

A method of manufacturing an advertising device comprising manufacturing an advertising device describing at least one attribute of at least one product or service is disclosed.

In a recipient address of an intended advertising device recipient is retrieved from a database of advertising device recipients. A route between the facility address and the recipient address is generated. The route is then applied to the advertising device.
