Scratch pad block

In a memory array having a minimum unit of erase of a block, a scratch pad block is used to store data that is later written to another block. The data may be written to the scratch pad block with a low degree of parallelism and later written to another location with a high degree of parallelism so that it is stored with high density. Data may be temporarily stored in the scratch pad block until it can be more efficiently stored elsewhere. This may be when some other data is received. Unrelated data may be stored in the same page of a scratch pad block.

Memory efficient use of dynamic data structures used to manage sparsely accessed data

When a dynamic data structure is used for managing sparsely accessed data stored in memory of a digital computer, pages of the memory are dynamically allocated and de-allocated to respective portions of the dynamic data structure so that the pages become distributed over the portions of the dynamic data structure and the de-allocated pages include free pages that are mapped in the dynamic data structure and free pages that are not mapped in the dynamic data structure. To reduce memory fragmentation and recover memory, upon de-allocating a page of memory from a portion of the data structure, a determination is made whether or not to un-map the de-allocated page from the portion of the dynamic data structure so that un-mapping of the de-allocated page has a probability that is the inverse of a superlinear function of the number of allocated pages in the portion of the dynamic data structure.

Method and apparatus for reducing video data memory in converting VGA signals to TV signals

It is disclosed herein that a system for reducing video data memory in VGA-to-TV converters that convert computer video signals to TV compliant signals for display on regular TV screens. By closely tracking two pointers, one being a write pointer responsible for writing incoming video data into the video data memory and the other being a read pointer responsible for reading out the stored video data in the video data memory, the memory is efficiently used for buffering the video data. To ensure that the read pointer always retrieves the valid video data at its own speed, an address monitoring process is provided to monitor the address difference between the write pointer and the read pointer. When the monitoring process detects that the read pointer may soon surpass the write pointer, a control process is placed on the write pointer to prevent the read pointer from passing over the write pointer. Depending on the speed difference between the write and read pointers, the writer pointer is either paused for a frame time or assigned to a secondary write pointer that writes data into the memory just visited by the read pointer. The efficient use of the memory makes it possible to reduce the memory capacity to a minimum so as to reduce the cost of manufacturing the converters.

Efficient buffer allocation for current and predicted active speakers in voice conferencing systems

A method and computer program product allows for the efficient allocation of buffers (e.g., first-in first-out (FIFO) queues) for current and predicted active speakers in voice conferencing systems. The method and computer program product, implemented by a server hosting an audio conference for a plurality of speakers, minimizes the loss of audio data for speakers as they switch from “non-active” to “active” status. This is accomplished by employing a set of active speaker buffers and a set of predicted active speaker buffers. The predicted active speaker buffers maintain a collection of the most recent x packets or m milliseconds of “non-active” speaker audio data, and transfer a portion of the data from the predicted active speaker buffers to the active speaker buffers as speakers become “active” speakers. The x packets or m milliseconds of stored “non-active” speaker audio data can be used only up to a pre-determined jitter buffer fill-level in order to avoid introducing additional audio packet delivery delay to participants of the conference.

Method and System for Through-the-Wall Radar Imaging

A method and system for generating an image of a scene behind a wall, wherein the scene is represented as a grid, by first transmitting a radar pulse through the wall using a transmitter and receiving a set of echoes corresponding to the radar pulse being reflected by the scene in a receiver at a known location. Based on the location, an imaging operator that relates the set of echoes to the grid is determined. Using the imaging operator, a sparse delay kernel that matches a response of a current image to a similar response in the set of echoes is determined. Then, the current image is updated, based on the set of echoes, the imaging operator, and the sparse delay kernel. The transmitting, the receiving, the determining, the obtaining, and the updating steps are repeated for different locations until a termination condition is reached.

Method and apparatus for using a color table scheme for displaying information on either color or monochrome display

A method and system of determining the screen capability and rendering the appropriate display attribute is herein described. The present invention performs this task by using a color table, which contains a list of object types and a corresponding list of display attributes. The application program obtains the correct display attribute for the object by calling the color table, giving it an identifier of the object. The color table is indexed by the identifier of the object and a screen capability flag that is obtained, in one embodiment, from the operating system. The color table provides the display attribute for the specified object based on the screen capability flag. Advantageously, the application program does not need to know the computer's display capability. Furthermore, the application program needs only one piece of computer code, regardless of the number of display capabilities which are possible. Thus, memory space in the palmtop is conserved. In another embodiment of the present invention, the application program is allowed to modify the default values of the display attributes in the color table. Thus, an application program could use its own color to display an object if the default color is undesirable.

Subset transform interleaver

Digital communications interleavers re-order the bits of a data coding block in a way that can be described by a table of indices that map the original order to the interleaved order. Conventional interleavers include index table interleavers, which store an index table ahead of operation and algorithmic Interleavers, which generate the indices during operation.Described herein are a new class of interleavers: Subset Transform Interleavers. A subset of generator outputs is selected and processed to create the interleaver indices. The selection is determined apriori and the selection results are stored in a Subset Usage Table. During operation, the generator is operated again and the Subset Usage Table entries determine which generator outputs are used. The generator may be a pseudo-random number generator. Implementations can use an Indexes Remaining Table, which can additionally be manipulated during operation such that it returns to an initialized state after each block interleaving process.

Method, system, and computer program product for managing a re-usable resource with linked list groups

A pool of integers is managed by dividing the pool of integers into groups and initializing, in memory, doubly linked lists related to the groups on an as needed basis in response to requests to allocate integers. If an initialized group of integers no longer includes any allocated integers, the doubly linked list related to the group is deleted from memory. Memory locations of the group-specific doubly linked lists are identified by a hash table that includes a unique hash table pointer for each one of the groups. Each element of the doubly linked list includes a next pointer for identifying a next element and a previous pointer for identifying a previous element. A specific free integer can be allocated in an order of one, O(1), operation by indexing into the linked list and utilizing the next and previous pointers of the linked list element to remove the linked list element from the linked list.
