A diagnostic platform includes a processor, storage media and user interfaces, including a display screen, the processor being coupled to engine analyzer hardware and adapted to be coupled to a scanner for downloading data from vehicle on-board computers. The system stores libraries of information regarding vehicle identifications, drivability symptoms exhibited by vehicles, vehicle system and component tests and service codes which can be registered by the vehicle on-board computer. System software permits the user to input an identification of the vehicle under test and, in one mode of operation, displays a library of faults, such as symptoms or service codes, from which the user can select those exhibited by the vehicle, whereupon the system selects from the test library those tests pertinent to diagnosis of the causes of the selected faults and displays them in a hierarchically ranked order based on likelihood of successful diagnosis of the faults. The user can then select and initiate any displayed test. In other modes, the system initially displays one of the libraries of system or component tests, from which the user selects those deemed appropriate, whereupon the system highlights icons which can be selected for initiating pertinent test procedures. Selected test procedures may include links to the engine analyzer or scanner hardware or other appropriate test modules.

A technique distinguishes between link and node failure using bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) in a computer network. According to the novel technique, a BFD session is established over a first link between a monitoring node and a first interface of a monitored node. In addition, one or more novel unidirectional BFD (uBFD) sessions from one or more corresponding other interfaces of the monitored node to the monitoring node (e.g., as configured by the monitored node to detect its failure), the one or more uBFD sessions traversing links other than the first link (e.g., “not-via” the monitored node) are established, the one or more uBFD sessions traversing links other than the first link (e.g., “not-via” the monitored node). For instance, the one or more uBFD sessions correspond to one or more line cards of the monitored node. In response to detecting a lack of connectivity resulting from, e.g., failure of the BFD session, the monitoring node determines that the first link has failed if at least one uBFD session is operational. Moreover, in response to detecting failure of the BFD session and all of the one or more uBFD sessions, the monitoring node determines that the monitored node has failed.

Methods are disclosed for transmitting a plurality of information bits using resource selection on multiple antennas. In one or more embodiments, the methods include: selecting a first and a second orthogonal resource from an allocation of more than two orthogonal resources according to the state of the plurality of information bits; transmitting a first symbol in a first symbol instant on a first antenna using the first orthogonal resource; and transmitting a second symbol in the first symbol instant on a second antenna using the second orthogonal resource. In some embodiments, the first and second orthogonal resources are different and the first symbol is either a reference symbol or a modulation symbol.

A finger-mapped gesture system is a user interface method and apparatus for rapid data input on a touch-sensitive surface. The user gestures by holding the hand stationary relative to the surface and moving the fingers primarily by extension and flexion on the surface. Each finger gestures on a gesturing area instead of selecting among keys. Individual gestures are constructed from finger actions that each independently parameterize the gesture. In combination, the particular fingers gesturing and the parameters that the fingers gesture indicate the input that the user intends. On devices that do not directly identify fingers, fingers are identified via a finger map that, after calibration to a person's hand, associates each finger with a gesturing area. Gestures are otherwise independent of where they are performed, freeing users from having to look at their fingers to target visual elements. The system is optimized for rapid character data entry.

Method and system for improving the performance of mobile communication networks. The method and system employs the additional functionality whereby an additional phase offset can be applied to one of the physical paths (one physical antenna) in order to modify and adapt the transmit polarization. In the preferred embodiment, the criterion for selecting the additional phase offset will be to maximize the energy received from the HSPA serving cell by the legacy HSDPA user equipments.

Provided are an optical lens assembly and an electronic apparatus including the same. The optical lens assembly implements a wide-angle lens system by including a first lens group having positive refractive power, an iris diaphragm, and a second lens group having positive refractive power, where the first lens group, the iris diaphragm, and the second lens group are arranged from an object side to an image side, and the first lens group includes at least one negative lens and two positive lenses.

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for activating assertions and breakpoints. The techniques include establishing any number of checkpoints in a first computer program; and including each checkpoint in a checkpoint group, wherein each checkpoint group can include any number of the checkpoints regardless of where the checkpoints are in the first computer program. The checkpoints can include assertion statements and breakpoint statements. Activation variants enable checkpoint groups or compilation units or both to be managed jointly.

Aspects of the invention relate to several methods to deposit and regenerate target materials in neutron generators and similar nuclear reaction devices. In situ deposition and regeneration of a target material reduces tube degradation of the nuclear reaction device and covers impurities on the surface of the target material at the target location. Further aspects of the invention include a method of designing a target to generate neutrons at a high efficiency rate and at a selected neutron energy from a neutron energy spectrum.
