A method and apparatus for searching an electronically stored table of information including a plurality of table entries and facilitating high speed searching of a table to provide a longest matching entry. The table searching method uses at least one memory unit having a table of information including a plurality of data entries. The table of information has a plurality of search keys associated with the plurality of data entries and the plurality of search keys form a tree structure based on a prefix length for each of the search keys. The plurality of search keys are expanded such that each of the plurality of search keys has two lowest level search keys associated therewith that cover a lowest level of the tree structure. A binary search of the lowest level search keys is performed based on a search value to determine a longest prefix match. A data entry of the plurality of data entries is output based on said longest prefix match. The method is also applicable to routing data in an internet router where the routing of data packets depends on address information stored in the table of information.

Parallel binary searches on lengths using hash tables is described. The parallel search uses more than one search instance. The search instances probe in parallel mutually different contiguous ranges of a search area during each round of searches. After each round, a new search area is defined and one or more search instances are redeployed into the new search area. The search instance for a range of shorter lengths can be redirected to help those of the longer lengths. Due to the help from other search instances, some ranges can be made large without sacrificing the performance. The invention realizes faster address lookups even for longer address lengths.

A system and method is provided for handling the collation of linguistic symbols of different languages that may have various types of compressions (e.g., from 2-to-1 to 8-to-1). A symbol table of the symbols identified as Unicode code points is generated, with each symbol tagged with a highest compression type of that symbol by sorting the compression tables of the various languages. During a sorting operation with respect to a given string, the tag of a symbol in the string is checked to identify the highest compression type of compressions beginning with that symbol, and the compression tables for the language with compression types equal or lower than the highest compression type of the symbol are searched using a binary search method to find a matching compression for the symbols in the string. A common search module is used to perform binary searches through compression tables of different compression types.

The invention discloses a real-time self-adaptive contour error estimation method, which can be used for a numerical control system or a contour controller of a robot. The contour error estimation method comprises the steps: generating extra interpolation points by properly modifying a conventional parameter curve interpolation method, wherein the generated extra interpolation points are only used for contour error estimation and do not serve as reference instructions of a motion controller; searching among original interpolation points the nearest point from an actual cutter position, preliminarily determining a search scope; and further determining foot points through a binary search method.

Moreover, the method needs moderate computational complexity, fully meets the requirement of real-time applications, and is highly practical.

A value range for a code development option, which results in an error when applied to a given code, can be automatically searched to intelligently identify a threshold for the error within the value range. Instead of completely abandoning the optimizations offered by a code development option with a value range, the code development option as applied to a given code can be limited to a subrange of the value range, thus imbuing the given code with at least the optimizations offered by the code development option with the subrange. A failure analysis tool searches, for example according to binary search, a value range. Subranges are applied to the given code and results examined to influence successive selections of subranges. Eventually, a threshold, if any, is discovered that separates a subrange that does not result in error from a subrange that results in error.

A method and system for refining an estimated pitch period estimate based on a coarse pitch useful for performing frame loss concealment in an audio decoder as well as for other applications. A normalized correlation at the coarse pitch lag is computed and used as the current best candidate. The normalized correlation is then evaluated at the midpoint of the refinement pitch range on either side of the current best candidate. If the normalized correlation at either midpoint is greater than the current best lag, the midpoint with the maximum correlation is selected as the current best lag. After each iteration, the refinement range is decreased by a factor of two and centered on the current best lag. This bisectional search continues until the pitch has been refined to an acceptable tolerance or until the refinement range has been exhausted. During each step of the bisectional pitch refinement, the signal is decimated to reduce the complexity of computing the normalized correlation.
