QoS is built into a peer network within existing Internet infrastructure itself lacking QoS, by enabling a network peer to continuously discern the network's ability to deliver to that peer a particular Content Object (distributed in groups of component Packages among neighboring VOD peers) within predetermined times. Content Objects are divided into groups of component Packages and distributed to Clusters of neighboring network peers, enhancing QoS upon subsequent retrieval. Tracking Files (lists of network peers storing Package groups) and Tracking Indexes (lists of network peers storing Tracking Files) are generated to facilitate “on demand” Content Objects retrieval. Dynamically monitoring network traffic (including VOD functionality, bandwidth and reliability) creates “distributed closed-loop feedback,” and in response, attributes of individual network peers (e.g., Trust Level and membership within a particular Cluster) are modified, and “content balancing” functions performed (e.g., redistribution of Package groups among network peers) enables maintaining high QoS.

A social media content management system coupled to a social media network includes database files and execution instructions to assemble, manage and transmit social media content. The database files store a feed content file, a social content management file, and management tables including a schedule file and an export content file. Execution instructions include a feed channel content system for receiving and storing feed content items in the feed content file. A selection subsystem is used for selecting and storing export content as social media posts in the social content management file. A scheduling subsystem enables a user to create and store schedules, to select a schedule and to merge the selected schedule with the stored content in the management file to form the export content file. An export system transmits the stored content as social media content posts to the social media network according to the selected schedule.

The invention concerns a software development tool for embedded computer systems, and is based on a repository of configurable, pre-programmed software components, together with associated tools for user selection and configuration of the components and a code generator for extracting relevant source code based on the configuration settings. Each software component, called embedded system infrastructure component (ESIC), is a self-contained object comprising a modular code base and associated configuration structure related to an infrastructure function in a hardware-independent, non-operating-system software infrastructure for an embedded computer system. For each ESIC, the configuration tool enables user configuration of the infrastructure function based on the configuration structure of the ESIC to match the requirements of the target application. For each ESIC, the code generator utilizes the configuration settings to extract source code for the infrastructure as a subset of the modular code base. This approach provides fast, efficient and flexible development of embedded system software infrastructures.

A data storage system filter operates through a filter framework in a file system to detect and provide customized responses to unauthorized access attempts. A security event definition determines when file system access events are classified as unauthorized access attempts. A trap manager manages the security events, and causes traps to be installed to capture file system responses. The trapped responses can be replaced with customized data, such as static artificial data, or artificial data generated based on a context of the request and/or response. The security filter can be loaded or unloaded in the filter framework and operates on a callback mechanism to avoid significant disruption of I/O activity.

Embodiments of the present invention provide an apparatus and method of generating electrical stimulation waveforms using Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS). The waveform generation substantially reduces intensive processor calculations and commands required for the generation of waveforms via Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). DDS technology is integrated into single-integrated circuit components, capable of generating waveforms based on singular digital word commands. The use of DDS integrated circuits allows for rapid changes in frequencies, automatically sweeps frequencies between user defined limits, and are capable of a wide range of frequencies. Further, utilization of DDS in waveform generation allows for software updatable functionality. Additionally, because DDS technology outputs a smooth sine wave, the need for extensive filtering is drastically reduced. Further, DDS technology can be utilized in an amplitude modulation stage beyond the DDS waveform generator, further reducing the burden on processor systems.

The HTML/XML tree synchronization module synchronizes a document with a view or multiple views, after a change has been made to the document. First, the tree synchronization module receives a document change from an application program. An update processor converts the tree data of the document to a character string, and receives document change information from one or more application program interfaces. The update processor utilizes the document change information to update the document tree data character string. The document change information is then sent to one or more application program interfaces to determine the scope and content of the document views. A log generator receives the view change information, and creates record logs for each changed document view. These logs are played by a log player to each view, and each view data tree is updated with the view changes contained in the change logs. The tree synchronization module sends the subsequent view changes to the application program to update the display views.
