20150288669 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF PRECISION SHARING OF BIG DATA - An ecosystem that allows fine-grained multi-party control over access to information stored in one or more data sources of a data provider. A requesting party can submit a query job to the data provider. Resellers in the chain can introduce their own query modifiers to the query job, adding additional data access, data transformation and segmentation functions to the query job. The data provider can append its own query modifier to the query job and execute the query job with all of the query modifiers. Access control for each link in the chain is checked before the query modifier for the link is executed. After execution of all query modifiers and the query job, the results can be provided to the requesting party. | 10-08-2015 |

20080283250 | LOW CLEARANCE DOWNHOLE PUMP - A pump has a housing having a top plate and a bottom plate and a shaft slidingly extending through an aperture in the top plate. A piston is connected to the shaft. The piston separates a volume within the housing into a first stage chamber defined in the housing below the piston and a second stage chamber defined in the housing above the piston. A fluid transfer port in the piston is in fluid communication with the second stage chamber and, through a check valve, with the first stage chamber. Another stage check valve allows one-way flow of fluid from a suction area below the bottom plate into the first stage chamber. A pressure control valve may be provided for selectively allowing fluid to flow out of the first stage chamber. | 11-20-2008 |

20140312220 | METHOD FOR MASS ANALYSIS - A method and system for analyzing a sample for an iterative information dependent acquisition cycle is disclosed, the method comprising performing an initial survey mass spectrum to generate a spectral peak list from the initial survey mass spectrum, applying threshold criteria to the spectral peak list to generate a threshold spectral peak list, performing a dependent MS/MS on the threshold peak list to obtain a plurality of mass spectra, and based on the plurality of mass spectra, determining exclusion criteria for a plurality of subsequent surveys. For each subsequent scan, the exclusion criteria are applied to generate a precursor list. The subsequent mass spectra for precursors that are common to previous IDA cycles are summed with spectra for the plurality of mass spectra from previous IDA cycles to obtain summed mass spectra. | 10-23-2014 |

20090098830 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INVERTING AUTOMATIC FREQUENCY CONTROL - A method includes a foreground process and a background process. In the foreground process, an input signal is processed using a first reference signal to generate an output. A first frequency control signal is generated from the output. A frequency of the first reference signal is controlled based on the first frequency control signal. In the background process, a foreground processed signal is received from the foreground process. The foreground processed signal is processed using a second reference signal. A second frequency control signal is generated from the foreground processed signal. A frequency of the second reference signal is controlled based on the second frequency control signal so that the background processing step removes effects of the foreground controlling step. | 04-16-2009 |
20100111001 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL DETECTION AND RECOVERY FROM FALSE TRIGGERS - A system and method for detecting a synchronization (sync) signal in a communication signal are disclosed. A received communication signal is stored in a memory and portions thereof are read from the memory and monitored to detect the sync signal. When a detected sync signal is determined to be invalid, previously read portions of the received communication signal, preferably beginning at a portion of the received signal immediately after a start of the detected sync signal, are again read and monitored to detect the sync signal. Such reading and monitoring of previously read portions of a received signal provide for recovery from so-called false triggering based on invalid sync signals. | 05-06-2010 |
20140057673 | MULTIPLE-PROCESSOR WIRELESS MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A wireless mobile communication device includes a first processor configured to execute a software application and a second processor configured to manage wireless communication over a wireless network. The processors are located in the same communication device and configured for one of the processors to send data to the other processor under a protocol. In accordance with this protocol, if the sending processor does not receive a receipt acknowledgement for the sent data from the other processor before the end of a resend time period measured from when the data was sent, then the sending processor resends the data to the other processor after the end of the resend time period. However, the sending processor does receive the acknowledgement before the end of the resend time period, then the sending processor does not resend the data to the other processor. | 02-27-2014 |

20150043333 | MEDIA RATE ADAPTION USING A MEDIAN FILTER - In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, a computer-implemented method includes encoding a first portion of media at an encoding rate. The first portion of the media is streamed over a network from a sending device to a receiving device. Feedback is received related to packet events occurring during transmission of the first portion of the media over the network. Adjusted feedback is generated, by a computer processor, by applying a median filter to the feedback data. The encoding rate of the media is adjusted based on the adjusted feedback data. An additional portion of the media is encoded at the adjusted encoding rate. | 02-12-2015 |
