| 20080270394 | GENERATING DESCRIPTIONS OF MATCHING RESOURCES BASED ON THE KIND, QUALITY, AND RELEVANCE OF AVAILABLE SOURCES OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE MATCHING RESOURCES - Techniques are provided for generating descriptions of matching resources in a manner that takes into account the kind, quality, and relevance of the available sources of information about the matching resources. For example, after the search engine identifies matching resources based on the query terms, the search engine determines the kinds of available sources of information about each matching resource. For each matching resource, based on the kinds of available sources of information about the matching resource, one of a plurality of processes is selected to generate a description for the matching resource. Using the content-sensitive description generation techniques described herein, a single result set may include abstracts that were generated using several different processes, where the difference in process corresponds to a difference in the kind, quality, and relevance of the available sources of information about each matching resource. | 10-30-2008 |

| 20100091695 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPTIMIZING IDLE MODE STAND-BY TIME IN A MULTICAST SYSTEM - Methods and apparatus for optimizing idle mode stand-by time in wireless device operable in a multicast system are disclosed. In order to maximize or optimize the stand-by time for idle mode, a time line for decoding of overhead information symbol (OIS) data received in one or more superframes in the wireless device. Based on the determined time line, an offset time period can be determined for setting an idle mode timer period used by the wireless device to decode the OIS information. By offsetting the timer period, a wireless device can be ensured to wake up and prepared to latch OIS information before the start of a superframe boundary, thus minimizing the wake up time of the device operating in an idle mode and, in turn, optimizing stand-by time. | 04-15-2010 |

| 20090244079 | Optimizing the Execution of Media Processing Routines Using a List of Routine Identifiers - Methods for analyzing a list of routine identifiers to optimize processing of routines identified in the list. Some embodiments execute a set of routines in multiple passes where each pass comprises each routine in the set processing a single band of its source. The band size of the sources of the set is related to the size of a cache used during execution of the set. A band size of sources of the set is determined so that all data processed by and produced by any routine in the set can be stored to the cache while the routine processes one band of its source. Some embodiments use the list to combine two or more routines into a single routine where the list is modified accordingly. Some embodiments use the list for grouping and re-ordering routines identified in the list to send particular routines to an alternative processor for processing. | 10-01-2009 |
