20080247333 | Method and Apparatus for Self-Configuring Routing Devices in a Network - A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for configuring routing devices in a network data processing system. A routing change is identified in the network data processing system. In response to the routing change being identified, a node topology is generated for a set of routing devices present in the network data processing system. A master network configuration table is built at a routing device within the set of routing devices. The network configuration table contains configuration data from the routing devices in the node topology. The master network configuration table is broadcast to the routing devices in the network data processing system. | 10-09-2008 |
20080291904 | Telecommunications System for Minimizing the Effect of White Noise Data Packets for the Generation of Required White Noise on Transmission Channel Utilization - Minimizing the effects of the requisite AGWN packets on transmission channel utilization without diminishing any of the aesthetic quality of the AGWN white noise on the voice or audio communication. A system for minimizing the effect of required generated background noise on said transmission channel utilization comprising the combination of an implementation for forming a transmission stream of sequential digital audio data packets, associating with each audio packet a data code representation of the payload data packet enabling the generation of said background noise and an implementation at a receiving station, responsive to each of said data representations for forming the represented payload data packet enabling said generation of background noise together with means at said receiving station for interspersing said formed payload packets enabling background noise generation between said associated audio data packets and background noise generating means, at said receiving station, responsive to said enabling payload packets for generating the background noise between the audio data packets. | 11-27-2008 |
20080300026 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HARNESSING PROCESSOR POWER OF MOBILE DEVICES - A system for utilizing the processing power of a mobile device. It is determined whether an energy source within the mobile device is recharging. In response to determining that the energy source within the mobile device is recharging, it is determined whether the mobile device is sending or receiving transmissions. In response to determining that the mobile device is not sending or receiving transmissions, a task is requested from a server via a network. In response to receiving the task from the server, the task is routed to a processor of the mobile device to process the task and return a task result. Then, the task result is sent to the server via the network. | 12-04-2008 |
20080310376 | Method and System for Routing Packets in an Ad Hoc Wireless Network - A system for routing packets in an ad hoc wireless network. In response to entering the ad hoc wireless network, location data is broadcast to other nodes within the ad hoc wireless network. Location data is received from the other nodes within the ad hoc wireless network. The received location data is recorded in a routing table. In response to determining that one or more packets need to be transmitted, a best route is calculated to transmit the one or more packets within the ad hoc wireless network using data in the routing table. Then, the one or more packets are transmitted to a node within the ad hoc wireless network based on the calculated best route. | 12-18-2008 |
20090052337 | RESPONDING TO CHANGE IN A DATA COMMUNICATION NETWORK SYSTEM - A method and system for responding to changes in the system. The system includes two or more routers which are electrically connected together in a network tree structure. Each router includes an electronic connection port and a routing table. A direct current balance exists at the electronic connection port of each route. A change in the direct current balance at the electronic connection port of at least one router of the two or more routers is detected. An occurrence of changes in the system that relate to each router of the at least one router is ascertained from the detecting. Responsive to the ascertaining, a new routing table is generated for each router of the at least one router. Each new table includes the changes in the system that relate to each route of the at least one router. | 02-26-2009 |

20090164757 | Method and Apparatus for Performing Out of Order Instruction Folding and Retirement - The illustrative embodiments described herein provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for increasing a number of instructions per clock cycle associated with a processor. The illustrative embodiments fold a plurality of non-sequential instructions within the set of sequential order instructions to form a folded instruction. The folded instruction is executed to form an executed instruction. The executed instruction is placed in a reorder buffer. The instructions within the reorder buffer are written to a register based on the sequential order of execution within the set of sequential order instructions. | 06-25-2009 |
20100146247 | Method and System for Managing Out of Order Dispatched Instruction Queue with Partially De-Coded Instruction Stream - A computer-implemented method and apparatus for managing an out of order dispatched instruction queue in a microprocessor. In one embodiment, the method and apparatus include assigning a group identification number and a target identification number to an instruction in an instruction stream. The group identification number and the target identification number are labeled after a pre-decoding stage inside an instruction fetcher unit. The group identification number and the target identification number are pre-decoded. The instruction is sent to an instruction queue. The instruction is re-ordered in the instruction stream after executing the instruction utilizing information from the pre-decoding of the group identification number and the target identification number. | 06-10-2010 |
20110060743 | Locating and Retrieving Data Content Stored in a Compressed Digital Format - A method and apparatus is provided for locating and retrieving specified data content in a database. The data comprises compressed digital audio or video data files associated with the recorded speech. Retrieval of the specified content requires decompression of only a portion of the compressed data. A method for locating specified content of the above type is provided. A compressed audio file comprising recorded speech is converted into a corresponding text file. A searchable index is constructed from the text file. One or more specified search arguments are used to search respective elements of the searchable index in order to detect one or more text segments. The identifiers of respective detected segments are then used to locate the specified content in the audio file. Only portions of the audio file that contain specified content require decompression, in order to retrieve the content. | 03-10-2011 |
