20150120336 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COLLECTING AND TRANSMITTING TELEMATICS DATA FROM A MOBILE DEVICE - A method of analyzing audio signals, such as for a drive monitoring system, includes recording an audio signal from a mobile device, the audio signal including a background audio stream and a residual audio signal. Communication with an audio database is performed to obtain a reference signal. If a match between the background audio stream and the reference signal is determined, a time alignment between the background audio stream and the reference is computed. At least a portion of the recorded audio signal is aligned with the reference signal using the time alignment. The background audio stream is canceled from the recorded audio signal, to result in the residual audio stream. A computer processor is used to determine a driving behavior factor from the residual audio stream. | 04-30-2015 |

20110060750 | MAX-VALUE-FIRST SEARCH FOR TARGET VALUE PROBLEMS - The present application relates to systems and methods for determining at least one target path from a start vertex to a goal vertex within a directed acyclic graph. The systems and methods use a target value search (MFTVS) of a directed acyclic graph. The MFTVS includes beginning with a start vertex as a current prefix and progressing through selected prefixes. The MFTVS further includes determining a selected prefix from successor prefixes of the current prefix according to a selection rule. The selection rule is one of selecting the successor prefix having a highest path value and selecting the successor prefix having a lowest path value. The MFTVS further includes setting the current prefix to the selected prefix until a frontier of a blind spot is encountered. The frontier of the blind spot is defined by an evaluation function. | 03-10-2011 |

20140122396 | RULES ENGINE AS A PLATFORM FOR MOBILE APPLICATIONS - Disclosed are systems and methods to optimize a rules engine as a platform within a computing system. The computing system may identify a context of interest, such as environment or circumstance of the computing system or a user of the computing system.

20150067186 | DYNAMIC AND AUTOMATIC CONTROL OF LATENCY BUFFERING FOR AUDIO/VIDEO STREAMING - Dynamic control by a source device of sink buffer size for audio and/or video streaming over an error-prone channel. The sink buffer size may be determined based on a type of application for a media stream being transmitted from the source device to the sink device for presentation. The techniques may select a buffer size that is smaller for gaming applications, larger for interactive media applications, and even larger for non-interactive media types. The techniques adjust the time delta between a shared clock reference and time reference values of a transport stream that are used by the sink device to determine decoding or presenting of media frames of the transport stream relative to a shared clock reference. In addition, the techniques may account for transceiver latency at the source device due to scanning or multiple concurrent connections. | 03-05-2015 |

20140084875 | ELECTRIC MOTOR DRIVES FOR RECAPTURING ELECTRICAL ENERGY - A set of electric motor drives for recapturing otherwise unused electrical energy from electric motors and methods of using same are disclosed that provide electrical energy in addition to mechanical energy by recapturing electrical energy that would be unused if conventional technologies were followed. Such recapturing motor drives can provide recaptured electrical energy to other loads, can transfer recaptured electrical energy to storage devices for future use, and/or can recirculate recaptured electrical energy back through a recapturing motor drive. By recapturing unused electrical energy, the recapturing motor drives generate significantly greater over-all energy output for any given electrical energy input drawn from any power source, thereby materially increasing the efficient and effective use of electrical energy drawn from the power source and dramatically reducing the relative consumption of electrical energy drawn from the power source. The present invention also lowers component count, thereby reducing design time and production costs. | 03-27-2014 |

20090323524 | INVOKING DIFFERENT WIRELESS LINK RATE SELECTION OPERATIONS FOR DIFFERENT TRAFFIC CLASSES - Functionality can be implemented within a device or chip to select different sets of wireless link rate determination operations that account for different degrees of presentation time sensitivity that correspond to different classes of traffic. The device or chip can infer or explicitly determine presentation time sensitivity based, at least in part, on traffic class. The selected wireless link rate operations select link rates for the different classes of traffic. A first set of the wireless link rate determination operations can choose a smoother and more stable wireless link rate for the wireless traffic class that conveys presentation time sensitive content. A second of the wireless link rate determination operations can choose a fastest possible wireless link rate, which may be more susceptible to jitter and delay, for a traffic class that is less sensitive. | 12-31-2009 |
20120271902 | SELECTING FORWARDING DEVICES IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A forwarding device can establish a communication link with both a source device and a destination device to extend the communication range of the source device by forwarding data from the source device to the destination device. A coordinating device can be configured to identify a forwarding client through which to communicate with a client station that is inaccessible to the coordinating device via a direct communication link, based on the throughput achieved on communication links between the coordinating device, the inaccessible client, and accessible clients. The throughput achieved on the communication links can be determined by exchanging training packets, receiving acknowledgement messages in response to the training packets, and subsequently analyzing the received acknowledgement messages. Based on the calculated throughputs, one of the accessible clients can be designated as the forwarding client with respect to the coordinating device and the inaccessible client. | 10-25-2012 |
