A “forward” delta data management technique uses a “sparse” index associated with a delta file to achieve both delta management efficiency and to eliminate read latency while accessing history data. The invention may be implemented advantageously in a data management system that provides real-time data services to data sources associated with a set of application host servers. To facilitate a given data service, a host driver embedded in an application server connects an application and its data to a cluster. The host driver captures real-time data transactions, preferably in the form of an event journal that is provided to the data management system. In particular, the driver functions to translate traditional file / database / block I / O into a continuous, application-aware, output data stream. In an illustrative embodiment, a given application aware data stream is processed through a multi-stage data reduction process to produce a compact data representation from which an “any point-in-time” reconstruction of the original data can be made.

A method and apparatus for data recovery in a system involving a first data store acting as a standard device and a physical moving mirror data store that operates as moving mirror with a first mode to be synchronized and in a second, isolated mode. In response to a command to establish a third or protected restore operating mode, the data to be transferred in response to that command is identified. A restoration procedure copies data from the second data store to the first store to recover any data that may have been corrupted in the second data store. An update procedure acts on the restored data concurrently with the restoration procedure.

A telemetry system including a first device having a processor that employs a DC balanced encoding scheme to generate a DC balanced encoded data signal, a modulator for modulating an RF carrier wave by the DC balanced encoded data signal and generating a DC balanced encoded RF modulated data signal including DC balanced RF energy. The DC balanced encoded RF modulated data signal transmitted by the first device is received by a second device. Since the RF energy received is DC balanced, drift in baseline voltage is eliminated irrespective of data transmission thereby improving the robustness of recovery of data by the second device. The second device may include a converter for converting the DC balanced RF energy extracted from the received DC balanced encoded RF modulated data signal to a substantially constant average induced voltage, irrespective of data being transmitted, for powering at least one component of the second device.

A data processing apparatus is operable to determine non-linear distortion applied to an image in which template signals have been introduced into at least first and second frequency bands of the image respectively, the template signals having a predetermined relationship with each other. The apparatus comprises an image dividing processor operable to generate data representative of selected parts of the image, a transform detection processor operable to generate at least one parameter representative of a linear transformation applied to each of the parts of the image, and a non-linear transform processor operable to estimate parameters of a non-linear transformation representative of the non-linear distortion applied to the image from the linear transform parameters of at least two parts of the image.The data processing apparatus provides a facility for determining parameters of a non-linear transform representative of the distortion applied to the image as a whole. The distortion is therefore evaluated by generating linear transform parameters for different parts of the image and then determining the non-linear transform parameters in accordance with a relationship with the linear transform parameters. The linear transform may be the Affine transform, the parameters determined being Affine transform parameters. The non-linear transform may be the Perspective transform or a Polynomial transform, the non-linear transform parameters being evaluated from the linear transform parameters.

In one embodiment, the invention provides an optical interconnect comprising a transmitter for generating and transmitting an optical signal, a receiver for receiving the optical signal from the transmitter and for converting the received optical signal to an electrical signal, and a pre-transmitter distort circuit for applying a pre-transmitter distort signal to the transmitter to adjust the shape of the optical signal generated by the transmitter. Distortions are introduced into the optical signal when the optical signal is generated, transmitted to the receiver, and converted to the electrical signal. As a result of the signal applied to the transmitter by the pre-transmitter distort circuit, the optical signal generated by the transmitter has distortions to compensate for the distortions introduced into the optical signal, wherein the electrical signal, into which the optical signal is converted, has a desired shape.

The present invention discloses a transmitter and receiver for use with an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communications system. In one embodiment, the OFDM communications system includes an OFDM transmitter that generates a training sequence that includes a fractional tone in a guard band thereof and transmits the training sequence via a channel. The OFDM communications system further includes an OFDM receiver that receives the training sequence and employs the fractional tone to obtain a channel response estimate.

Embodiments include systems and methods for applying a controllable early / late offset to an at-rate clock data recovery (CDR) system. Some embodiments operate in context of a CDR circuit of a serializer / deserializer (SERDES). For example, slope asymmetry around the first precursor of the channel pulse response for the SERDES can tend to skew at-rate CDR determinations of whether to advance or retard clocking. Accordingly, embodiments use asymmetric voting thresholds for generating each of the advance and retard signals in an attempt to de-skew the voting results and effectively tune the CDR to a position either earlier or later than the first precursor zero crossing (i.e., h(−1)=0) position. This can improve link margin and data recovery, particularly for long data channels and / or at higher data rates.
