Disclosed is a method and system that adapts coefficients of taps of a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter to increase elimination of Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) introduced into a digital communications signal due to distortion characteristics caused by a real-world communications channel. In the communications system there is a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter. The FIR filter has at least one pre and / or post cursor tap that removes pre and / or post cursor ISI from the signal, respectively. The pre / post cursor taps each have pre / post cursor coefficients, respectively, that adjusts the effect of the pre / post cursor portion of the FIR filter. The FIR filtered signal is transmitted over the channel which distorts the signal due to the changing and / or static distortion characteristics of the channel. The channel distorted signal is received at a receiver that may pass the channel distorted signal through a quantifier / decision system (e.g., a slicer) as the quantifier input signal to quantify the quantifier input signal to one of multiple digital values. The channel distorted signal may be further adjusted by summing the channel distorted signal with the output of a Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE) filter to create a DFE corrected signal which then becomes the quantifier input signal. An error signal is determined by finding the difference between the scaled quantifier decision and the quantifier input signal. The pre / post cursor coefficient values that adjust the effects of the pre / post cursor taps of the FIR filter are updated as a function of the error signal and at least two quantifier decision values, and update coefficient values, may be sent over a communications back-channel to the FIR filter.

This system includes a car series consisting of at least two cars. The inter-car comm. sub-system (ICS) of the leading car sends the running and situation info to the car behind. ICS of the latter sends info to the driving decision-making system (DD) of this car. When DD receives info, the situation supervision sub-system (SS) of this car offers the Driving Situation of this Car (DSC) to DD, too. DD combines and analyzes these two info then sends instruction to the situation self-control sub-system (SC). SC combines the instruction and the info from SS, then finally real time controls DSC via the car control port sub-system. This invention reduces the driver's tired degree, the accident occurring rate and driving cost.

A decision making system uses semiotic processing modules to transform a training corpus of information, in the form of sequential sets of symbols, into a knowledge database. The knowledge database is thereafter used to make decisions relating to queries input in the same type of training corpus symbols. In the knowledge base, the system stores data representations of analyses of subsets of the training corpus sets of sequential elements. The knowledge base data representations comprise predicates and elemental and non-elemental acts. An inductive processor recursively processes the training corpus sets by evaluating the relationship and frequency of occurrence of individual elements and sets of elements in the training corpus. After processing of the training corpus is completed, the resultant knowledge base is used to evaluate queries in a performance mode of operation.

A mechanism for running interactive applications with a minimal set of privileges is disclosed. The privileges form a subset of the privileges afforded to the user requesting the application and are allocated consistent with the principle of least privilege. The application runs with the minimal amount of permissions necessary to accomplish its assigned tasks. A new user account is created and provisioned or identified for each application to which a user requests access. The accounts have a subset or superset of the access rights and operating system privileges that the user who is logged on to the system and requesting access to the application ordinarily enjoys. The subset / superset of the user's privileges is determined by a policy-based decision system. The policy-based decision system makes its determination based on an analysis of the application requirements, an analysis of the data security and privacy concerns associated with the execution of the application, the identity of the user and user's role and any other policy considerations previously specified by an administrator. Once the determination as to the appropriate set of privileges to be afforded in the execution environment has been made, the execution environment is created and provisioned or a pre-existing execution environment possessing the requisite privileges is identified and the remote user is logged into the server-side account. The application-specific accounts may be audited by audit trail tools that provide evidence of policy enforcement.
