20100240015 | Light Based Projectile Detection System for a Virtual Firearms Training Simulator - A light based projectile detection system for use with a firearm and a virtual firearms training simulator includes a self-sealing screen having a proximal side and a distal side. A scenario projector transmits a simulation onto the proximal side, and a light source faces the distal side. The light source selectively projects light onto the distal side of the screen when the firearm is shot, such that light from the source traverses the screen after contact by a projectile. A camera monitors the light traversing the aperture created by the projectile to determine and associate the position of impact and transmit that information to a scenario computer. The system may include an audio detection circuit to monitor the sound generated by the firearm and transmit a signal to a flash controller to cause the light source to illuminate. The screen will then re-seal around the hole so that the light no longer traverses the screen. | 09-23-2010 |

At the decoder, a comfort noise patch can be fetched from memory or created based on the amplitude and spatial characteristics of the comfort noise specified in the noise parameters. The noise patch may additionally be scaled or otherwise adjusted to accommodate the capabilities and/or limitations of the specific decoder. | 09-12-2013 |
20130329799 | PREDICTIVE VIDEO CODER WITH LOW POWER REFERENCE PICTURE TRANSFORMATION - Video coders may perform perspective transformation of reference frames during coding in a manner that conserves processing resources. When a new input frame is available for coding, a camera position for the input frame may be estimated. A video coder may search for reference pictures having similar camera positions as the position of the input frame and, for each reference picture identified, the video coder may perform a prediction search to identify a reference picture that is the best prediction match for the input frame. Once the video coder identifies a reference picture to serve as a prediction source for the input frame, the video coder may derive a transform to match the reference frame data to the input frame data and may transform the reference picture accordingly. The video coder may code the input frame using the transformed reference picture as a prediction reference and may transmit coded frame data and the camera position of the input frame to a decoder. Thus, the video coder may perform derivation and execution of transforms on a limited basis which conserves system resources. | 12-12-2013 |
20140064160 | Synchronizing Uplink and Downlink Transmissions in a Wireless Device - Synchronizing uplink and downlink transmissions by a wireless user equipment (UE) device. A connection with a network may be established via a wireless link with a cell. The UE may operate in an active state during first periods of time in which uplink or downlink communications may be performed between the UE and the network. The UE may operate in a reduced-power state during second periods of time in which uplink and downlink communications are not performed. The first periods of time may alternate with the second periods of time in a repeating manner. Uplink data generated by the UE may be buffered during second periods of time and transmitted during first periods of time. Buffering uplink data in this manner may prevent the UE from immediately transitioning from the reduced-power state to the active state to transmit uplink data, which may conserve battery of the UE. | 03-06-2014 |

20120266048 | Dynamic Optimization of Back-End Memory System Interface - Techniques are presented for dynamically optimizing the performance of the controller-memory (or “back-end”) interface of a non-volatile memory system. Memory systems are usually designed to have a certain amount of error tolerance for error that can then be corrected by ECC. In may circumstances, such as when a device is new, the ECC capabilities of the system exceed what is needed to correct data storage errors. In these circumstances the memory system internally allots a non-zero portion of this error correction capacity to the back-end interface. This allows for the interface to operate at, for example, higher speed or lower power, even though this will likely lead to transmission path error. The system can also calibrate the back-end interface to determine that amount of error that result from various operating conditions, allowing the operating parameters of the back-end interface to be set according to amount of error that is allotted to the transfer process. | 10-18-2012 |

20120242405 | Frequency-Desensitizer for Broadband Predistortion Linearizers - Systems, apparatus and methods that provide broadband predistortion linearizers including simple frequency desensitizers to maintain substantially the same predistortion in a relatively broad frequency band. For example, a broadband predistorter can include a nonlinear component to predistort the drive signal, and a simple frequency desensitizer to compensate the frequency dependence of the nonlinear component. In particular implementations, the nonlinear component can have a frequency dependent impedance that substantially changes across the broad operating bandwidth and the frequency desensitizer can include resistive and reactive elements, such as a resistor (R), an inductor (L), and a capacitor (C) in a resonator configuration, to compensate for the frequency-dependence of the nonlinear component in the broad operating bandwidth. | 09-27-2012 |
