A method for padding, filtering, denoising, image enhancing and increased time-frequency acquisition is described for digitized data of a data set where unknown data is estimated using real data by adding unknown data points in a manner that the padding routine can estimate the interior data set including known and unknown data to a given accuracy on the known data points. The method also provides filtering using non-interpolating, well-tempered distributed approximating functional (NIDAF)-low-band-pass filters. The method also provides for symmetric and/or anti-symmetric extension of the data set so that the data set may be better refined and can be filtered by Fourier and other type of low frequency or harmonic filters.

A system for filtering data comprises a filtering database for storing layered rule tables and a data filtering engine coupled to the filtering database for filtering the input data using the layered rule tables. The data filtering engine filters or classifies input data using tests or rules performed on the data elements in the input data. The data elements are segments of data in the input data and are selected from the input data using a data element locator. Preferably, each rule table in the filtering database comprises a data element locator, a default rule, and zero or more filtering rules. The filtering rules comprise the tests or rules that are to be applied to the data elements. Each rule table corresponds to a single data element and each filtering rule in the rule table is to be applied to that data element.

A leakage detection location method based on pressure and sound information integration is provided, which belongs to the technology field of an oil (gas) pipeline fault diagnosis, and is characterized by leakage detection and leakage location based on information integration. The former comprises: separately acquiring the measurement data of the pressure on the upperstream end and downstream end of the pipeline and a sound wave sensor, sending the data to a computer and gaining final detection results through three levels processing including data filtering, characteristic level integration and decision level integration. If the detection result shows leakage, starting leakage location process based on information integration. The process first carries out leakage location by separately adopting the signals of two kinds of sensors and a plurality of different leakage location algorithms and finally gains the location results via integration of the location results based on the same sensor and different location methods and two levels processing based on the integration of the location results of two kinds of different sensors. The method can effectively reduce the false positive rate and false negative rate and improve the location precision.

A bilateral data transfer system comprising a first node, a second node, a first one-way link for unidirectional transfer of first data from the first node to the second node, and a second one-way link for unidirectional transfer of second data from the second node to the first node, wherein the unidirectional transfer of the first data across the first one-way link and the unidirectional transfer of the second data across the second one-way link are independently administered by the bilateral data transfer system. Under such bilateral data transfer system, each of the one-way data links may be subject to separately administered security restrictions and data filtering processes. Hence, it enables secure bilateral communications across different network security domains.

This invention relates to the Internet of Things (IOT), and discloses a method and apparatus of data filtering in the IOT, where the IOT includes a plurality of sensor devices. The method includes: inputting an application deployed rule; converting the rule into at least one sub-predicate expression having static predicates and dynamic predicates; inputting data collected by the sensor devices; matching the collected data with the static predicates and the dynamic predicates of the sub-predicate expression in sequence; and distributing matched data to the application. In this invention, a rule is divided into static and dynamic predicates, and a match is performed on static predicates before dynamic predicates, so that the speed of predicate match can be improved and fast and efficient data filtering in the IOT can be achieved.

In one embodiment, an audio-visual content delivery system, such as a set-top box/personal video recorder system, is configured to interface with a local area network (LAN). A packet processing circuit comprised in the system may be configured to filter and route Ethernet packet data received from the LAN to specific ports and/or queues without host processor intervention. The packet processing circuit may utilize a set of filter and routing mechanisms configurable in hardware to interpret various Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) networking transport protocols, and may transfer the packet data in a format recognized by a variety of consumer subsystems, each of which may be coupled to the decoder. The packet processing circuit may be implemented as a semiconductor device, and may allow encapsulated application data, (encapsulated using standardized encapsulation techniques), to be routed to a plurality of different types of application sinks or processors, forming a point-to-point or multi-point serial or parallel data stream over a standard transport covering numerous levels of the ISO data communications stack.

Markers are established in a data object to provide a means to refer to specified parts of the object. Each marker is established within the object by giving the location and length of the part of the object that is to be marked. The marker continues to mark that part of the object as changes are made elsewhere in the object. As data is received into the cache computer it is stored in a sequence of buffers. A plurality of filters, all executing concurrently, search for different interesting string in the object. Each filter finds its interesting strings and marks them using the markers. The result of filtering data of the object is a marker attribute table identifying each of the markers by the offset and length of the interesting strings located by the filters. Vend time is the time at which the object is streamed out of the cache to a client computer. Before the data is vended, a User Data Filter (UDF) executes a call function which sets up a string substitution table. The substitution table has entries for substitution, including the offset at which to make the substitution and the string to be substituted into the streaming object. A byte counter tracks the outgoing data stream of the object, and whenever the byte count matches an offset of a marker, the length entry in the marker attribute table determines the length of an omitted string, and the substitute string is placed in the outgoing data stream.
