Signaling of multiple decoding times in media files

The exemplary embodiments of this invention provide in one aspect thereof an ability to signal multiple decoding times for each sample in a file format level in order to allow, for example, different decoding times for each sample (or sample subset) between decoding an entire stream and decoding a subset of the stream. An alternate decoding time box is specified to allow for the signaling of multiple decoding times for each sample. Such a box can contain a compact version of a table that allows indexing from an alternate decoding time to a sample number, where an alternate decoding time is a decoding time to be used with a sample when only a subset of an elementary stream stored in a track is to be decoded. Furthermore, each entry in the table provides the number of consecutive samples with the same time delta, and the delta between those consecutive samples. By adding the deltas a complete time-to-sample map can be constructed.

Serial link scheme based on delay lock loop

A method and circuit to produce an optimal sampling phase for recovery of a digital signal is achieved. A digital signal is over-sampled by sampling on each phase of a multiple phase clock to generate a sample value per phase. The multiple phase clock may be generated by a DLL. A voted value is determined per phase comprising a majority value of a set of consecutive sample values. Transition phases are sensed. A transition phase is defined as two consecutive voted phases comprising different values. The transition phases are compared to a stored phase state to determine a signal shift direction. The signal shift direction is filtered to generate a state update signal. The stored phase state is updated based on the state update signal. The stored phase state corresponds to an optimal sampling phase for recovery of the digital signal.

Data storage to enhance timing recovery in high density magnetic recording

A timing recovery system encodes data while impressing recognizable patterns thereon, enabling precise timing during subsequent readback operations. An uncoded binary sequence is encoded using an m / n rate block coded sequence, incorporating a unique predetermined binary bit pattern that occurs with a selected level of frequency. The encoded sequence is stored on the recording medium as a series of flux transitions. To read back the stored data, a read head measures the flux transitions stored on the medium and generates a representative analog waveform. A sampler samples the waveform in accordance with a timing scheme provided by a timing circuit. The timing circuit adjusts the timing of the samples to ensure that the analog waveform is sampled at appropriate times to yield the most accurate results. The timing circuit evaluates two consecutive samples to identify samples associated with features of the analog readback waveform that corresponds to the predetermined bit patterns. Identified samples are then compared to determine whether timing of samples should be advanced, retarded, or retained with respect to the analog waveform. After a detector translates samples into an enclosed binary bit stream, a decoder decodes the detector's binary bit stream by revising the original encoding process, recreating the original encoded binary sequence.

A method of synchronizing to GSM RF downlink signal frame timing includes acquiring a continuous sample data record from a base RF channel (BCCH) of the RF downlink signal that encompasses multiple frames of the GSM RF downlink signal to guarantee inclusion of synchronization frames. The location of a frequency correction burst within the sample data record is searched for and, once the frequency correction burst location is found, a synchronization burst is searched for within a limited time range about a predicted location to determine a precise indication of frame location. With frames precisely located, data may be extracted from any desired slot of the frames from the continuous sample data record, or of frames in a continuous sample data record acquired from a related measurement channel, for further measurement processing.

Frequency analyzer

A frequency analyzer uses a new approach to determine simple and multi-frequency components. The invention mainly comprises a complex filter and a frequency discriminator. The real number part of the input frequency can be represented by a frequency spectrum composed of both positive frequencies and negative frequencies. The complex filter receives an input signal through two sampling points, and then the frequency discriminator computes the phase difference between two sampled signals from these two consecutive sampling points. After applying an inverse trigonometric function, the demodulated frequency is derived from the phase difference. Using a complex function to derive the demodulated frequency is more advantageous in that many high-frequency sampling circuits become unnecessary, thus reducing the power consumption of the frequency demodulation circuit.

Pulse baseline value calculation method and particle counting method for blood cell analyzer

The invention relates to a pulse baseline value calculation method and a particle counting method for a blood cell analyzer. The pulse baseline value calculation method comprises the step of calculating the average value of n consecutive sampling data on the condition that the absolute value of the difference between two arbitrary adjacent data among the n consecutive sampling data is smaller than a baseline threshold value and the n consecutive sampling data are nearest to a pulse starting point within a pulse non-sustainable period, wherein the average value represents the baseline threshold value. According to the technical scheme of the invention, the baseline threshold value is preset and compared, and the sampling data of a noise-superimposed baseline are avoided. Meanwhile, sampling data within a noise / interference allowable range are selected and calculated. In this way, the noise is accumulated onto a final baseline value, so that the baseline value is more close to real data. The misjudgment of the baseline value is greatly reduced, so that the particle counting result is more accurate. The method can be applied to the particle counting operations of three-category type blood cell analyzers, five-category type blood cell analyzers, flow cytometers and other biochemical instruments.

Phase-alternating mixer with alias and harmonic rejection

Rejection of local oscillator alias response is provided in a mixing circuit by (1) a switching mixer producing an output that changes at least twice between two states (e.g., high-low-high or low-high-low) during each local oscillator period, and (2) a charge integrator integrating current output from the switching mixer over the local oscillator period. The switching mixer and charge integrator produce a sampled data format, double sideband signal with serial cancellation of the switching mixer's alias responses. An extension unit connected in series with the switching mixer and charge integrator, and implementing a transform function computing a difference between consecutive samples, produces a cascading effect with the switching mixer and charge integrator, optionally producing additional nulls suppressing alias response at frequencies near the local oscillator frequency. A harmonic gating circuit between the switching mixer and charge integrator, controlled at a multiple of the local oscillator frequency, suppresses harmonic responses of the switching mixer.

Sliding-window based signal monitoring

The invention is generally directed towards monitoring of a signal (M), such as a clock signal or a data signal, by sampling the signal to obtain a discrete sample representation of the signal and analyzing the sample representation. The idea according to the invention is to slide a sample window (SW) over the sampled signal and determine whether the samples currently within the window include a valid transition sequence. In the general case, the existence of a valide signal is confirmed as long as a valid transition sequence is present in at least one of a predetermined number of consecutive sample windows. In order to reduce the need for oversampling in high-frequency applications, the invention furthermore proposes a multi-phase sampling technique according to which a number of phase-shifted sample clocks (S1 to SN) are generated for the purpose of sampling the signal to be monitored. Higher-frequency oversampling is thus replace by a higher resolution in the time domain.
