| 20080232281 | Precise node localization in sensor ad-hoc networks - Methods and systems for configuring ad-hoc networks, especially a self-configuring wireless sensor networks, are described. The network has an initial number of anchors with known positions that broadcast a signal. The signals are received by distributed nodes whose position is not yet known. The nodes rank the received signal based on a Quality of Link (QoL; received signal strength) and compute a Quality of position Estimate (QoE) for the node. The node with the best QoE is elevated to anchor. This process gradually increases the number of available anchors in the network and hence the position accuracy for additional nodes. The system can be used for geolocation of soldiers in the indoor combat, tracking the location of firefighter and other emergency personnel in rescue missions, etc. | 09-25-2008 |

| 20090172723 | Television advertisement placement more resistant to user skipping - Television equipment detects viewers' actions in skipping temporally interleaved television advertising content and, in response, automatically causes selected television advertising content to be spatially combined with a temporal portion of the viewed television programming content, e.g., juxtaposed adjacent to or overlaid on the television advertising content. As a result of the spatial combination, skipping such juxtaposed or overlaid advertising content would also cause skipping of the corresponding temporal portion of the viewed programming content. In some implementations, once viewer ad skipping is detected, advertising content can spatially combined with subsequently viewed television programs of the same type, or interleaved advertising content can be automatically removed from the remainder of the television program or from subsequently viewed television programs of the same type. Viewer skipping of interleaved advertising can be explicitly detected by detecting user-selected commands during recognized interleaved advertising, or implicitly detected by analysis of sequences of selected user commands. | 07-02-2009 |

| 20090086866 | DEVICE, SYSTEM, AND METHOD OF FLICKER NOISE MITIGATION - Device, system, and method of flicker noise mitigation. For example, an apparatus includes a digital adaptive filter to mitigate flicker noise from a received Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signal, wherein the digital adaptive filter includes: a prediction filter to estimate a value of the flicker noise based on linear combination of past low-pass filtered signal samples; a trainer sub-circuit to modify a coefficient of the prediction filter based on a difference between: a known incoming signal filtered by the prediction filter in a training stage, and a locally-generated reference copy of the known signal; a first path including a first pair of analysis-synthesis filters; and a second, parallel, path including a second pair of analysis-synthesis filters and further including the prediction filter. | 04-02-2009 |

| 20100178129 | Netting Arrangement for a Cargo Hold, in Particular in an Airplane, and an Adapter Therefor - The present invention concerns a netting arrangement for a cargo hold, in particular in an airplane, comprising: at least one netting including a plurality of fixation points preferably formed on an edge side, a plurality of fixation points formed on the cargo hold side, and at least one adapter for securing the netting in the cargo hold. The adapter is secured to at least two fixation points on the cargo hold side so as to divert a load applied to the adapter into the at least two fixation points on the cargo hold side. The adapter is arranged in the path of force between the netting fixation points preferably formed on an edge side and the fixation points on the cargo hold side. The adapter furnishes at least one adapter-side fixation point for securing the netting to the adapter. The fixation points for the netting are arranged in a plane identical with the plane of the adapter-side fixation points, independently of the load applied on the netting. In the condition where no load is applied on the netting, the netting is situated in the same plane as the adapter-side fixation points. The invention moreover relates to an adapter, preferably for use with a like netting arrangement. | 07-15-2010 |

| 20100199158 | METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING SAMPLED DATA AND CONTROL INFORMATION BETWEEN A DSP AND AN RF/ANALOG FRONT-END - A method for delivering control information together with sampled data between a DSP and an RF/analog front-end in a high speed communication modem, which embeds sampled data and control information in frames to be transferred over one interface. A frame may comprise various fields, each may consist of one or more bytes or octets. The frame may have a data field for carrying the sampled data, and at least one control field for transferring the control information to update RF/analog front-end registers. The control field may include an octet containing a control address, an octet containing a control command, and an octet containing control data. The frame may also provide means of synchronization, e.g., by using a sync field to identify the frame boundary. | 08-05-2010 |
