In another method, in both page programming and page read, the parity section of each ECC code word is bitwise XORed with the complement of a parity calculated from a message whose bits are all ones. Thus an unwritten page appears to the decoder as a valid ECC code word(s) when random errors are absent. Further provided is an apparatus for determining after a page read whether or not the read page has been programmed by comparing the number of read code word symbols which do not have the default erased value and the maximum number of symbol errors correctable by the ECC. | 04-16-2009 |

In the case where the host writes data to one or a plurality of discontinuous fragments in an area reserved for storing the message section of a codeword in the flash memory, the encoder computes the parity of the codeword by using only the data written to the flash memory as input and by asserting that all bits in the gaps between the written fragments have the default erased value, such that after both the data and the parity are written to the flash memory, the area reserved for storing the codeword would contain a valid codeword. On read back, the host reads the entire codeword area from the flash memory without having to distinguish between the written and unwritten fragments. | 01-07-2010 |

The system is designed such that the configuration of the matching network and BPFs provides high impedance to the band pass filters for those routing paths other than the band pass path as these routing paths do not transmit or receive the signals at this particular pass band. The system is further designed such that the configuration of the matching network and BPFs provides minimal insertion loss for the band pass path of for transmission and receipt of signals at this particular pass band, where each routing path has a corresponding pass band. The matching network is for coupling to an amplifier, when frequency separation is needed at the output of the amplifier to the BPFs. In one embodiment an impedance network tunes the impedance by using varying length transmission lines. | 09-01-2011 |

For real-time video telephony (VT) applications, these techniques may provide graceful quality degradation and improve user experience, especially when the channel conditions degrade. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090213938 | VIDEO DECODER ERROR HANDLING - A video decoder performs a sequential error handling process to detect and conceal errors within a corrupted data segment of video data units. The decoder sequentially decodes a current data unit. Upon detecting an error, the decoder sets an error flag and resynchronizes decoding at the start of the next unit. If the error flag is set, the video decoder identifies the end of the corrupted data segment based on the start of the later unit. The decoder conceals data between the start of the current unit and the end of the corrupted data segment. If the error flag is not set, the decoder may decode the remainder of the current unit and proceed to decode the next available unit without performing error handling and concealment for the current unit. The decoder also may address reference unit mismatches caused by lost video data units. | 08-27-2009 |

| 20110116483 | TCP DATA THROUGHOUT ENHANCEMENT FOR WLAN CLIENTS ON A WIRELESS LAN ROUTER - A server may be bypassed in the context of retransmitting data packets, when such data packets are missing or lost due to interference or some other network error. Decreased throughput and other disadvantages associated with data packet retransmission are avoided by negating the need to transmit retransmission request packets to the server and retransmitting a missing/lost data packet from the server. Instead, retransmission request packets may be sent to a router, and the router may respond by directly retransmitting the missing/lost data packet to the client, where prior to retransmitting the missing/lost data packet, it is determined whether the data packet is a Transport Control Protocol or User Datagram Protocol packet, and proceeding with the retransmitting only if the data packets is a Transport Control Protocol packet. | 05-19-2011 |

| 20090067829 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DAMPING LENS VIBRATION - In a method for reducing lens vibration in an image capture device, a lens movement requirement is broken up into N smaller lens move steps, and the lens is moved a first of the N smaller steps. A wait time is inserted after completing the first of the N smaller steps, and then the moving and inserting steps are repeated until the remaining N smaller move steps have been completed. The image capture device includes a voice coil motor for moving the lens under control of a controller in accordance with the lens movement requirement, which reflects a determined lens position. The voice coil motor includes springs which impart vibration to the lens during lens movement. The vibration imparted by the springs to the lens is thus actively dampened during the lens movement to the determined lens position. | 03-12-2009 |
