An improved duplicate detection technique that uses query-relevant information to limit the portion(s) of documents to be compared for similarity is described. Before comparing two documents for similarity, the content of these documents may be condensed based on the query. In one embodiment, query-relevant information or text (also referred to as “snippets”) is extracted from the documents and only the extracted snippets, rather than the entire documents, are compared for purposes of determining similarity.

An open-loop power controller of a transmission power control apparatus investigates whether a dedicated control channel DCCH and a synchronization channel SCH overlap. If the channels overlap, the open-loop power controller suspends ordinary open-loop power control processing, increases a target SIR by a satisfactory level and indicates this to a closed-loop power controller. The closed-loop power controller maintains the indicated target SIR and executes closed-loop transmission power control processing based upon the target SIR. The open-loop power controller resumes ordinary open-loop transmission power control processing after DCCH reception ends.

Circuits, architectures, methods and algorithms for joint channel-code decoding of linear block codes, and more particularly, for identifying and correcting one or more errors in a code word and / or for encoding CRC (or parity) information. In one aspect, the invention focuses on use of (i) remainders, syndromes or other polynomials and (ii) Gaussian elimination to determine and correct errors. Although this approach may be suboptimal, the present error checking and / or detection scheme involves simpler computations and / or manipulations than conventional schemes, and is generally easier to implement logically. Since the complexity of parity-based error correction schemes increases disproportionately to the number of potential error events, the present invention meets a long-felt need for a scheme to manage error detection and / or correction in systems (such as magnetic recording applications) where there may be a relatively large number of likely error events, thereby advantageously improving reliability and / or performance in channel communications.

Maintenance trip functions override the normal or specified trip functions of a low voltage circuit breaker to reduce pickup currents and / or time delays to effect faster trips, which reduces arc energy produced by faults during maintenance or testing on a live circuit breaker.

An embodiment relates generally to a method of selecting applications. The method includes positioning a powered-down mobile device into a close proximity of a near field communication device and selecting an application from a plurality of applications stored on the powered-down mobile device. The method also includes executing the application in the powered-down mobile device to interact with the near field communication device.

A magnetic resonance apparatus has a positioning unit and a patient bed. The positioning unit can store a number of positions of the patient bed and can automatically position in an imaging volume the associated examination regions established by a marking unit in a diagnostic data acquisition procedure predetermined by a measurement control unit. The positioning unit can detect dimensions of a patient by evaluation of the number of positions of the patient bed and transfer these dimensions to a monitoring module. The monitoring module adapts the RF transmitting power to the patient according to the dimensions.

It has been determined that certain dual-chambered cardiac stimulators may operate in a region in which an atrial pacing event may obscure the detection of a ventricular tachyarrhythmia. Various exemplary techniques may be used to improve the ability of dual-chamber cardiac stimulators to detect such ventricular events. In accordance with one technique, it is determined whether a ventricular event should be classified as a ventricular tachyarrhythmia. If not, the VA interval is restarted as usual. However, if the ventricular event may be classified as a ventricular tachyarrhythmia, it is determined whether the ventricular event falls within the region in which an atrial pacing event may obscure its detection. If not, then the VA interval is restarted as usual. However, if the ventricular event falls within this region, the VA interval is restarted with the VT rate detection boundary. This has the effect of lengthening the VA interval and the AA interval in this region so that atrial pacing events will not obscure the sensing and treatment of ventricular tachyarrhythmias in the region.

In an SRAM according to the present invention, an internal power supply voltage for a memory cell is applied to a back gate of each of P-channel MOS transistors included in an equalizer, a write driver, and a column select gate. Therefore, even if an internal power supply voltage for a peripheral circuit is shut off to reduce current consumption during standby, a threshold voltage of each of the P-channel MOS transistors is maintained at a high level, and hence a leakage current is small.
