A methodology for a daisy-chained memory topology wherein, in addition to the prediction of the timing of receipt of a response from a memory module (DIMM), the memory controller can effectively predict when a command sent by it will be executed by the addressee DIMM. By programming DIMM-specific command delay in the DIMM's command delay unit, the command delay balancing methodology according to the present disclosure “normalizes” or “synchronizes” the execution of the command signal across all DIMMs in the memory channel. With such ability to predict command execution timing, the memory controller can efficiently control power profile of all the DRAM devices (or memory modules) on a daisy-chained memory channel. A separate DIMM-specific response delay unit in the DIMM may also be programmed to provide DIMM-specific delay compensation in the response path, further allowing the memory controller to accurately ascertain the timing of receipt of a response thereat, and, hence, to better manage further processing of the response.

The present invention relates to a method and system for providing Web content from pull and push based services running on Web content providers to mobile users. A proxy gateway connects the mobile users to the Web content providers. A prefetching module is used at the proxy gateway to optimize performance of the pull services by reducing average access latency. The average access latency can be reduced by using at least three factors: one related to the frequency of access to the pull content; second, the update cycle of the pull content determined by the Web content providers; and third, the response delay for fetching pull content from the content provider to the proxy gateway. Pull content, such as documents, having the greatest average access latency are sorted and a predetermined number of the documents are prefetched into the cache. Push services are optimized by iteratively estimating a state of each of the mobile users to determine relevant push content to be forward to the mobile user.

A process is set forth for viewing an enlarged area of an image. The image is stored on a server and re-sized for viewing on a mobile communication device based on screen size and colour display capabilities of the device. The image is enlarged within the server by modifying binary raw data of the original image based on crop rectangle coordinates entered at the mobile communication device. The process allows users to quickly retrieve any relevant part of a large image attachment that has been resized by the server. This minimizes bandwidth usage, device memory / CPU consumption, and request / response latency while still allowing the user to view an image area in its original level of detail.

A differential serial communication receiver circuit automatically compensates for intrapair skew between received differential signals on a serial differential communication link, with deterministic skew adjustment set during a receiver training period. Intrapair skew refers to the skew within a pair of differential signals, and is hence interchangeable with the term differential skew in the context of this document. During the receiver training period, a training data pattern is received, such as alternating ones and zeros (e.g., a D10.2 pattern as is known in the art), rather than an actual data payload. The differential serial communication receiver circuit includes a differential skew compensation circuit to compensate for intrapair skew. The differential skew compensation circuit receives a pair of complementary differential input signals including a noninverting input signal and an inverting input signal, and in response generates a skew compensated first differential output signal and a skew compensated second differential output signal. The differential skew compensation circuit compares the relative delay of the skew compensated first differential output signal and the skew compensated second differential output signal, and in response delays at least one of the noninverting input signal or the inverting input signal to reduce intrapair skew.

When an engine load QC is equal to or larger than a predetermined value, an acceleration-state determiner determines that a turbine is in an acceleration state, and a supercharging-pressure-control-state determiner determines that supercharging-pressure controller (a bypass valve, a wastegate, and a variable flap) of a turbocharger are in a maximum supercharging pressure control state (a closed valve state), i.e., when a delay coefficient α of the turbocharger calculated by a delay-coefficient calculator on the basis of an actual supercharging pressure πc and a convergent value πc* of a supercharging pressure calculated by a convergent-value calculator indicates a value peculiar to the turbocharger, a failure of the supercharging-voltage controller is determined on the basis of the delay coefficient α. Thus, it is possible to secure a high failure detection accuracy, and increase a frequency of performing failure detection even when the engine load QC suddenly changes to cause a delay in a response of the supercharging pressure πc.

Response delay associated with a state-based client-server application can be reduced with utilization of an application state server-side cache. A server caches data for a set of one or more possible states of a client-server application that may follow a current state of the application. The server rapidly responds to a client request with data that corresponds to an appropriate new state of the application in accordance with the application state server-side cache. The server determines that the application will transition to the appropriate new state from the current state of the application with the application state server-side cache based, at least in part, on an operation indicated by the client request.

An object of the present invention is to provide a damping force adjustable hydraulic shock absorber, in which response delay of a pressure control valve and self-excited vibration of a valve body can be prevented. A damping force is generated by controlling an oil flow between an annular oil passage 21 and a reservoir 4 generated by a sliding movement of a piston in a cylinder with use of a back-pressure type main valve 27 and a pressure control valve 28. The damping force is directly generated by the pressure control valve 28, and a valve-opening pressure of the main valve 27 is adjusted by adjusting an inner pressure of a back-pressure chamber 53. In the pressure control valve 28, a valve spring 57 is disposed between a valve body 56 and a plunger 34. A mass of the valve body 56 is sufficiently less than that of a plunger 34, and a spring stiffness of the valve spring 57 is higher than that of a plunger spring 36. As a result, it is possible to improve the responsiveness of the valve body 56 to prevent response delay in a damping force control. In addition, since the natural frequency of the valve body 56 is high, it is possible to prevent self-excited vibration of the valve body 56.

A controller capable of preventing response delay and generation of vibrations attributable thereto during position control of a movable part of a machine having low rigidity. A motor for driving a machine having low rigidity is subjected to position and velocity loop control. Compensation amount Q1 proportional to command velocity obtained by differentiating a position command and compensation amount Q2 proportional to second-order differentiated command acceleration are obtained. Compensation amounts Q1 and Q2 are added together, thus obtaining a velocity offset amount Vof corresponding to a estimated torsion amount. A differentiated value of the velocity offset amount is multiplied by coefficient β to obtain a torque offset amount Tof. The velocity offset amount Vof is added to a velocity command Vcs obtained by position loop control 1. The torque offset amount Tof is added to a torque command Tc outputted in velocity loop control 2, and the result is used as a drive command to the motor. Based on the velocity and the torque offset amount Vof and Tof, a torsion amount between motor 3 and the machine is controlled. The machine position and velocity are controlled with accuracy by regular position and velocity loop control.

A method and a system for improving conversion efficiency of a urea-based SCR catalyst coupled downstream of a diesel or other lean burn engine is presented. The system includes an electrically heated vaporizer unit into which a mixture of reductant and air in injected. The mixture is vaporized in the unit and introduced into the exhaust gas prior to its entering the SCR catalyst. Introducing the reductant mixed with air into the reductant delivery system prevents lacquering and soot deposits on the heated element housed inside the unit, and also speeds up the vaporization process thus reducing system response delays and improving the device conversion efficiency. The reductant delivery system is further improved by adding a hydrolyzing catalyst to it, and by isolating the reductant and air mixture from the heating element.

An improved method for Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) communications particularly applicable to a network comprising transmitters having significantly different transmission paths to a common receiver. The common receiver measures the response time from each transmitter, relative to a common time reference, then instructs each transmitter to delay all subsequent responses by an amount specific to each transmitter, as determined from these measured response times. This imposed delay results in a more time efficient TDMA protocol, improved error detection capability, and improved security capabilities. This invention is particularly applicable to bi-directional communications to and from a provider of Cable TV, Telephony, and Data Services.
