A hybrid ARQ scheme is used incremental data packet combining. In an example embodiment, the hybrid ARQ scheme with incremental data packet combining employs three feedback signaling commands: ACK, NACK, and LOST. Using these three feedback commands, the hybrid ARQ scheme with incremental data packet combining provides both robustness and good performance. This scheme is particularly advantageous in communication systems with unreliable communication channels, e.g., a fading radio channel, where forward error correction (FEC) codes are used and some of the code symbols are more important than other code symbols. Benefits include increased throughput and decreased delay of the packet data communication.

An apparatus and method for noise reduction employ a first processor having one or more channels, each channel comprising a respective first processor filter, and each channel configured to receive a respective one of one or more input signals. The first processor is configured to provide an intermediate output signal. The apparatus and method further employ a second processor including a second processor filter configured to receive the intermediate output signal and to provide a noise-reduced output signal. The apparatus and method further employ a first adaptation processor coupled to the first processor and a second adaptation processor coupled to the second processor. In some embodiments, an echo canceling processor reduces an echo portion associated with the noise-reduced output signal. In some embodiments, a response of the first filter portion and of the second filter portion are dynamically adapted.

Motion capture system with a motion capture element that uses two or more sensors to measure a single physical quantity, for example to obtain both wide measurement range and high measurement precision. For example, a system may combine a low-range, high precision accelerometer having a range of −24 g to +24 g with a high-range accelerometer having a range of −400 g to +400 g. Data from the multiple sensors is transmitted to a computer that combines the individual sensor estimates into a single estimate for the physical quantity. Various methods may be used to combine individual estimates into a combined estimate, including for example weighting individual estimates by the inverse of the measurement variance of each sensor. Data may be extrapolated beyond the measurement range of a low-range sensor, using polynomial curves for example, and combined with data from a high-range sensor to form a combined estimate.

Basic redundancy information is non-volatily stored in a reserved area of an addressable area of a memory array, and is copied to volatile storage therein at every power-on of the memory device. The unpredictable though statistically inevitable presence of failed array elements in such a reserved area of the memory array corrupts the basic redundancy information established during the test-on wafer (EWS) phase of the fabrication process. This increases the number of rejects, and lowers the yield of the fabrication process. This problem is addressed by writing the basic redundancy data in the reserved area of the array with an ECC technique using a certain error correction code. The error correction code may be chosen among majority codes 3, 5, 7, 15 and the like, or the Hamming code for 1, 2, 3 or more errors, as a function of the fail probability of a memory cell as determined by the EWS phase during fabrication.

The battery control apparatus calculates a permissible charging current or a permissible discharging current by using the internal resistance value described in the internal resistance table and controls the charging or discharging of the single cells in accordance with the current value thus obtained.

The operation unit in the control circuit calculates a discharged capacity (Q_mea) and an apparent discharged capacity (Q_ocv) based on a terminal voltage (V_mea) and a current value (I) measured by the voltage measuring circuit and the current measuring circuit, respectively, estimates a discharge curve (C_pre) in the future including the last stage of discharging based on a capacity shift (ΔQ) being the difference between the discharged capacity (Q_mea) and the apparent discharged capacity (Q_ocv) during discharging, and calculates the residual capacity and/or the residual power of the battery based on the estimated discharge curve (C_pre).

Power settings for writing information to an optical medium are adjusted to compensate for variations in the optical medium from expected characteristics, such as recording layer variations, disc tilt, variability in the outer versus inner diameter of an optical medium and write speed variations. An OPC process is performed at each of plural distributed locations of the optical medium, such as an inner diameter, middle diameter and outer diameter location, to determine a power setting at each location that writes information with the least amplitude and jitter variations. The determined power settings for the plural locations are averaged to determine an adjusted power setting for writing information to the optical medium. The adjusted power setting is saved in volatile or non-volatile memory for use in subsequent writes to optical medium having the same identification code.

A power estimation system uses a hardware accelerated simulator to advance simulation to a point of interest for power estimation. The hardware accelerated simulator generates a checkpoint file, which is then used by a software simulator to initiate simulation of the processor design model for power estimation. An on-the-fly power estimator provides power calculations in memory. Thus, the power estimation system described herein isolates instruction sequences to determine portions of software code that may consume excess power or generate noise and to provide a more accurate power estimate on the fly.
