For example, a real-time speech codec uses intra frame coding/decoding, adaptive multi-mode forward error correction [“FEC”], and rate/quality control techniques. Intra frames help a decoder recover quickly from packet losses, while compression efficiency is still emphasized with predicted frames. Various strategies for inserting intra frames and signaling intra/predicted frames are described. With the adaptive multi-mode FEC, an encoder adaptively selects between multiple modes to efficiently and quickly provide a level of FEC that takes into account the bandwidth currently available for FEC. The FEC information itself may be predictively encoded and decoded relative to primary encoded information. Various rate/quality and FEC control strategies allow additional adaptation to available bandwidth and network conditions. | 05-20-2010 |

The average playout delay is the running average of the playout delay calculated for each packet as each packet becomes available. The playout delay for each packet is the sum of a sample buffer delay and a jitter buffer delay. As each packet is received, the average playout delay is adjusted based on a comparison of the playout delay associated with the received packet to the current average playout delay. | 11-07-2013 |

20090204374 | Methods and systems for the identification of components of mammalian biochemical networks as targets for therapeutic agents - Systems and methods for modeling the interactions of the several genes, proteins and other components of a cell, employing mathematical techniques to represent the interrelationships between the cell components and the manipulation of the dynamics of the cell to determine which components of a cell may be targets for interaction with therapeutic agents. A first such method is based on a cell simulation approach in which a cellular biochemical network intrinsic to a phenotype of the cell is simulated by specifying its components and their interrelationships. The various interrelationships are represented with one or more mathematical equations which are solved to simulate a first state of the cell. The simulated network is then perturbed by deleting one or more components, changing the concentration of one or more components, or modifying one or more mathematical equations representing the interrelationships between one or more of the components. The equations representing the perturbed network are solved to simulate a second state of the cell which is compared to the first state to identify the effect of the perturbation on the state of the network, thereby identifying one or more components as targets. A second method for identifying components of a cell as targets for interaction with therapeutic agents is based upon an analytical approach, in which a stable phenotype of a cell is specified and correlated to the state of the cell and the role of that cellular state to its operation. A cellular biochemical network believed to be intrinsic to that phenotype is then specified by identifying its components and their interrelationships and representing those interrelationships in one or more mathematical equations. The network is then perturbed and the equations representing the perturbed network are solved to determine whether the perturbation is likely to cause the transition of the cell from one phenotype to another, thereby identifying one or more components as targets. | 08-13-2009 |
