20100007370 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR ERROR DETECTION IN A STAND ALONE POWER SUPPLY - An apparatus for error checking in a power supply includes a power module that determines that the power supply is in a self-test condition. The self-test condition involves the power supply being connected to an input power source while it is disconnected from the electronic load that it normally services. A load module connects an internal test load to the power supply when the power supply is in self-test condition, and an error checking module performs error check operations on the power supply while it is connected to the test load. The apparatus also includes a notify module that actuates an indicator when the error checking module determines that there are one or more faults in the power supply. The apparatus may also include a log module for storing error messages and reports in non-volatile memory. | 01-14-2010 |

20100082525 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING MDX POST-ORDER HIERARCHIZE EXPRESSIONS - Disclosed are an apparatus, system, and method for generating a post-order set of members referenced by an MDX query statement invoking a post-order function. The apparatus includes an input module that receives the MDX expression specifying the relevant data set. A pre-order module generates a set of the members in pre-order organization. An initialization module generates an empty post-order set and inserts the first member of the pre-order set into the post-order set. An ancestor module determines whether the next member in the pre-order set has an ancestor in the post-order set and the location of the closest ancestor of the member if it exists. An insertion module then inserts the member immediately before the closest ancestor if the ancestor exists, or puts it in the rightmost position of the post-order set if an ancestor does not exist. An iteration module invokes the ancestor and insertion modules for each member of the pre-order set until the post-order set is filled. | 04-01-2010 |

20090003482 | BROADBAND SELF ADJUSTING QUADRATURE SIGNAL GENERATOR AND METHOD THEREOF - Low noise phase quadrature signals are generated after receiving a clock signal and adjusting the clock signal in response to a feedback signal to generate a phase adjusted clock signal. The clock signal and the phase adjusted clock signal are exclusive-ored to generate a frequency doubled signal. An in-phase local oscillator signal and a quadrature local oscillator signal are generated from the frequency doubled signal such that the in-phase local oscillator and the quadrature local oscillator signal are out-of-phase with each other. In addition, a phase relationship between the in-phase local oscillator signal and the quadrature local oscillator signal are detected, and the feedback signal is generated based upon the phase relationship between the in-phase local oscillator signal and the quadrature local oscillator signal. | 01-01-2009 |
20090129446 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING PHASE SHIFTED LOCAL OSCILLATOR SIGNALS FOR A FEEDBACK LOOP ON A TRANSMITTER - A transmitter is provided with a local oscillator (LO) processing unit to maintain stability in the transmitter's feedback loop. The LO processing unit includes at least one delay locked loop (DLL) and a programmable divider to generate phase shifted LO signals for adjusting a loop phase of the feedback loop in the transmitter. The generated phase shifted LO signals are of both a coarse and fine phase shifted nature. The adjustability and control of the coarse and fine phase shifting of the LO signals maintains linearity in the transmitter feedback loop. | 05-21-2009 |
20120098687 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SELF-TESTING A DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER (DAC) IN AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT - An on-chip self testing digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is provided. The functionality of the DAC is measured using a combination of integral non-linearity (INL) and differential non-linearity (DNL). Parts may pass or be rejected based on the testing. When a DAC passes the testing, the process continues to the next DAC or quits if all the DACs have been tested. | 04-26-2012 |
20140062605 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR A SYNTHESIZER ARCHITECTURE - A synthesizer architecture, responsive to a low noise reference signal from a discrete oscillator, provides a continuous periodic output with a period that is a fractional multiple of the low noise reference signal. One exemplary embodiment includes a phase detector providing a control signal to a selected one of a plurality of integrated voltage controlled oscillators (VCO), wherein the phase detector is a sub-harmonic continuous time sampling phase detector. Another exemplary embodiment includes a continuous fractional divider input to the phase detector in response to an output of the selected VCO. Yet another exemplary embodiment comprises an injection locked ring oscillator responsive to the low noise narrow band variable reference signal with a fractional output period. | 03-06-2014 |

20120066649 | DATA ANALYSIS AND TARGET VISUALIZATION REPORTING TOOL - A web based customizable data analysis and visualization tool for providing target profiling services having a system, method, and computer software and reporting tool for processing data. The web based system maintains a first kinome profiling services database and a second GPCR profiling services database. The web based system, upon receiving appropriate operator commands, automatically processes either from the kinome profiling services database and/or GPCR profiling services database, or through a user's data provided in a supplied template, and provides a visual map of the results against a kinome or GPCRome, which show the familial relationships among kinases and GPCRs. respectively. The processing automatically performed by the web based system relates to (but is not limited to) kinome target profiling mapping. GPCRome target profiling mapping, document mapping and production, protein names and/or gene symbol aliases, target descriptions, gene and/or protein related content, target product, and a data navigator. Other web based functions and capabilities include the ability to utilize targetome maps and the like, to visualize data generated by the system. | 03-15-2012 |

20120142269 | Adaptive Range Extender - In one or more embodiments, a cellular signal is received and amplified by a particular amount of gain. A power level of the amplified cellular signal is measured and compared to a power level threshold. The particular amount of gain is adjusted based on the comparison to alter the power level of the amplified cellular signal by less than 1 dB. The cellular signal having the altered power level is then transmitted. | 06-07-2012 |
20140065949 | PASSIVE BYPASS FOR NETWORK EXTENDING - In one or more embodiments, a cellular signal is received and directed to a path bypassing active amplifier circuitry. This may be in response to the active amplifier circuitry being non-operational (e.g., in a fault state) or detecting that an RF environment does not necessitate amplification. Bypassing the active amplifier circuitry may enable transmission of a non-amplified cellular signal when active circuitry is in a fault state or while traveling through areas of strong cellular service (e.g., proximate a cell tower). | 03-06-2014 |
