20100302096 | METHOD OF DETERMINING THE POSITION OF A MOBILE DEVICE - A set of device parameters consisting of clock bias and position of a mobile device is determined without previous knowledge of the week number (WN) in that solutions of a set of equations derived from a least squares type weight function involving pseudoranges related to the device parameters via basic equations are attempted with a time of week (TOW) extracted from satellite signals and various week number candidates. A solution algorithm which iteratively solves the set of equations is used, each iteration step involving a linearization of the latter and resulting in corrections of the device parameters. After elimination of week numbers where the solution algorithm does not yield a solution a valid week number is selected from the remaining week numbers in that a deviation value is determined which reflects differential terms, i.e., differences between pseudorange values as measured and as derived from the set of device parameters according to the solution, e.g., by evaluation of the weight function. The week number yielding the smallest deviation value is selected. If the week number is confirmed by various checks the device parameters according to the corresponding solution are used, e.g., displayed, by the mobile device. | 12-02-2010 |

20140341589 | RELIABLE VISIBILE LIGHT COMMUNICATION WITH DARK LIGHT SYNCHRONIZATION - LEDs that transmit or receive data in a VLC channel may create a flickering effect which is caused by the human eye being able to perceive the fluctuations of the light intensity in a LED. To prevent flickering such that the LED is perceived as being illuminated at a constant intensity, the LEDs may emit light based on a pattern of dark and energy slots. During the dark slots, the LEDs may be reversed bias to determine how much light is received. Based on comparing the light received, each VLC system may synchronize respective clocks such that the dark slots align. The VLC systems may then transmit a data frame preamble instructing the other VLC systems to cease synchronization and use the dark slots to receive the data from the data frame. While transmitting the data frame, the VLC systems may continue to use the energy slots to prevent flicker. | 11-20-2014 |

20090077006 | Computer-implemented database systems and related methods - In one implementation, a computer-implemented system is provided in a network comprised of several node computers and a plurality of program components, having access to a highly available, persistent database system to effect reading, writing and/or mutating accesses to one or more databases, the one or more databases having a minimum access time. A data space system may also be provided which is organized as one or more data space system segments. The data space system has a minimum access time which is lower than the minimum access time of the database system. Further, a computer software program module is provided which is programmed and suited to provide the following functionality: sending a retrieving demand for a demanded information record to a data space system, and if the demanded information record can be retrieved from the data space system, then pasting the demanded information record out of the data space system, providing the demanded information record to the application software program, and setting a status identifier in a status record to ‘successful’. In case the status identifier in the status record is not set to ‘successful’, retrieving the demanded information record from the database system, providing the demanded information record to the application software program, and copying the demanded information record to the data space system. | 03-19-2009 |

20100227158 | SURFACE MODIFIED ELECTRICAL INSULATION SYSTEM WITH IMPROVED TRACKING AND EROSION RESISTANCE - Surface modified electrical insulation system including a hardened or cured synthetic polymer composition including at least one filler, wherein the surface of said synthetic polymer composition is modified by being coated with a thin coating. The thin coating is applied by a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) with a thickness within the range of about 50 nanometer to about 50 μm; and/or a by a sol-gel technique with a thickness within the range of about 0.5 micron to about 1 mm. The thin coat is an electrically non-conductive polymeric material having a melting point which is distinctly higher than the melting point or degradation temperature of the synthetic filler containing polymer composition. | 09-09-2010 |
