20110291872MULTI-GIGABIT ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTER - An analog to digital converter for operating at high speeds can be implemented with a micro-comparator/sampler, an encoder, and a selector. The micro-comparator includes an input from an antenna of a receiver/transceiver system; a transistor pair; reset transistor; cascaded inverters; an inverter circuit; a buffer; and a D flip flop circuit. Depending on the number of micro-comparator/samplers placed in parallel, a number of bits can be generated. For example, 15 bits from 15 different micro-comparator/samplers can be inserted into a 15 to 4 bit encoder to generate 4 bits.12-01-2011

20100197233Method and System for Automatic Control in an Interference Cancellation Device - Signals propagating on an aggressor communication channel can cause detrimental interference in a victim communication channel. A signal processing circuit can generate an interference cancellation signal that, when applied to the victim communication channel, cancels the detrimental interference. The signal processing circuit can dynamically adjust or update two or more aspects of the interference cancellation signal, such as an amplitude or gain parameter and a phase or delay parameter. Via the dynamic adjustments, the signal processing circuit can adapt to changing conditions, thereby maintaining an acceptable level of interference cancellation in a fluctuating operating environment. A control circuit that implements the parametric adjustments can have at least two modes of operation, one for adjusting the amplitude parameter and one for adjusting the phase parameter. The modes can be selectable or can be intermittently available, for example.08-05-2010

20090066721METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING ACCELERATED VIDEO PROCESSING IN A COMMUNICATION DEVICE - Systems and methods for processing signals are disclosed. The method may include, in a communication device that includes a chip operating to processing video signals, receiving video data from a camera. The received video data may include alternating YUV formatted video data and RGB formatted video data. The received video data may be separated into separate YUV images and separate RGB images. The separate YUV images may be transferred to a first device, and the separate RGB images may be transferred to a second device. The camera may be configured to generate the video data that includes alternating YUV formatted video data and RGB formatted video data. The separate YUV images may be DMA transferred to the first device. A DMA controller may be configured to alternately transfer the separate YUV images and separate RGB images. The alternate transfer via the DMA controller may occur without assistance from on-chip processor.03-12-2009

20110087668CLUSTERING OF NEAR-DUPLICATE DOCUMENTS - Documents likely to be near-duplicates are clustered based on document vectors that represent word-occurrence patterns in a relatively low-dimensional space. Edit distance between documents is defined based on comparing their document vectors. In one process, initial clusters are formed by applying a first edit-distance constraint relative to a root document of each cluster. The initial clusters can be merged subject to a second edit-distance constraint that limits the maximum edit distance between any two documents in the cluster. The second edit-distance constraint can be defined such that whether it is satisfied can be determined by comparing cluster structures rather than individual documents.04-14-2011
20110087669COMPOSITE LOCALITY SENSITIVE HASH BASED PROCESSING OF DOCUMENTS - Reliable identification of highly similar documents allows such documents to be treated as identical for purposes of document analysis. Identification of highly similar documents can be based on a composite hash value or other value for which the likelihood of two documents having the same value is high if and only if the documents have a high degree of similarity. Prior to performing content based analysis, the composite hash value for the current document is determined and compared to composite hash values of previously analyzed documents. If a match is found, the results of the analysis of the previous document can be applied to the current document. If no match is found, the current document is analyzed.04-14-2011
20110191098PHRASE-BASED DOCUMENT CLUSTERING WITH AUTOMATIC PHRASE EXTRACTION - Meaningful phrases are distinguished from chance word sequences statistically, by analyzing a large number of documents and using a statistical metric such as a mutual information metric to distinguish meaningful phrases from groups of words that co-occur by chance. In some embodiments, multiple lists of candidate phrases are maintained to optimize the storage requirement of the phrase-identification algorithm. After phrase identification, a combination of words and meaningful phrases can be used to construct clusters of documents.08-04-2011
20110191347ADAPTIVE ROUTING OF DOCUMENTS TO SEARCHABLE INDEXES - Documents are assigned to one or more indexes in a document indexing system on the basis of document properties such as total number of tokens in the document, number of numeric tokens in the document, number of alphabetic tokens in the document, size of the document, and metadata associated with the document. Based on statistical distributions of document properties (over a large number of documents), different indexes can be defined, and a document router can direct a particular document to one index or another based on the properties of the particular document. In some implementations, certain document properties may be used to identify a nonrelevant document, or garbage document, so that it is either not indexed or assigned to an index dedicated for such documents.08-04-2011
