554 results about "Dummy data" patented technology

In Informatics, dummy data is benign information that does not contain any useful data, but serves to reserve space where real data is nominally present. Dummy data can be used as a placeholder for both testing and operational purposes. For testing, dummy data can also be used as stubs or pad to avoid software testing issues by ensuring that all variables and data fields are occupied. In operational use, dummy data may be transmitted for OPSEC purposes. Dummy data must be rigorously evaluated and documented to ensure that it does not cause unintended effects.

Digital modulation and demodulation

A digital modulator which inputs a data stream to convert to a channel bit stream. The multiplexed data block is generated by multiplexing dummy data to any position within each data block cut out of the data stream one by one. The first Reed-Solomon code is generated by Reed-Solomon-encoding the multiplexed data block as an information part. A plurality of second Reed-Solomon codes are generated by adding a plurality of Reed-Solomon codes for scrambling each of which has identification data showing its scrambling pattern in the same position as that of the dummy data, and the code length of information part and parity part is the same as the first Reed-Solomon code. The second Reed-Solomon code in which the characteristics becomes desirable after modulation among the plurality of the second Reed-Solomon codes is set for output.

Cycle independent data to echo clock tracking circuit

A comparator and variable delay circuit are provided to maintain the tracking between data and echo clocks in a double data rate (DDR)RAM device. This is accomplished by providing a global data signal (dummy data signal) that tracks with the actual memory array data. This global data signal is compared to the timing of the RAM clock (CLOCK) to determine a delay time between the two by which the pipeline clocks (CLKRISE / CLKFALL) must be delayed. As a result, the pipeline clocks are pushed out as needed so that they always transition after the array data arrives at the output latch. Therefore, as cycle time decreases, both echo clocks and data are pushed out identically and maintain their required tracking.

Optical packet switch

An optical packet switch uses electric circuits to implement input and output sections of an optical switch that performs packet switching. Retiming of packet data in the output section is facilitated to reduce the scale of the circuitry. In the input section a packet-data signal and a clock signal for retiming the packet data are wavelength multiplexed by a wavelength multiplexer and transferred over the same optical waveguide of the optical switch. In the output section the packet-data signal and the clock signal, which have been transferred from the same optical waveguide in the packet switch, are demultiplexed by a wavelength demultiplexer, and retiming of the packet-data signal is performed by an intra-device frame terminating unit. A frame format comprises, in addition to a flag pattern and a data field, a preamble and dummy data at the beginning and end thereof, respectively, for accommodating skew caused by transfer through the optical switch as well as a period of signal instability produced by switching of the optical switch. The packet data is transferred upon being placed in the data field of the frame format.

Monitoring system for automatic charging apparatus for vehicle

When a monitor apparatus judges that a vehicle has stopped at a predetermined position (step 705), the monitor apparatus transmits pseudo position information of the vehicle (dummy data) to an automatic charging apparatus (step 725). The automatic charging apparatus calculates a charge amount on the basis of the dummy data, and transmits the result of the calculation to the monitor apparatus. The monitor apparatus receives the result (step 735) and judges on the basis of the result whether the automatic charging apparatus is in an anomalous state (step 740). Since the above-described successive operations are performed only when the vehicle stays, the status of another automatic charging apparatus not monitored is not misidentified as the status of an automatic charging apparatus to be monitored.

Packet relay apparatus and control method for data relay apparatus

A data relay apparatus (access point) connects to a network having a DHCP server and authentication server. The data relay apparatus stores the MAC address of a communication device which is permitted to connect. When a communication device starts to connect to the data relay apparatus, it is determined whether or not the MAC address of the communication device is stored. Assume that the address is stored. In this case, even if, for example, the communication device is not authenticated by authentication processing performed by the authentication server, dummy data indicating that authentication is successful is transmitted to the communication device to notify the communication device that the authentication is successful. Subsequently, since the communication device requests the DHCP server to assign an IP address, the address assignment request from the communication device is transferred to the DHCP server so as to assign the IP address to the communication device. In addition, different security levels at the time of network access are set for a communication device which has failed in authentication by the authentication server but is assigned an IP address and a communication device which is successful in authentication.

Single-block virtual frame buffer translated to multiple physical blocks for multi-block display refresh generator

A graphics controller for a System-On-a-Chip (SOC) used with a battery-powered device allows for reduced-power display modes. The microprocessor writes to a frame buffer that is a single, contiguous address block in virtual memory. A memory management unit (MMU) translates frame-buffer address to multiple physical blocks. The graphics controller fetches pixels from the multiple physical blocks, including a block in an on-chip memory and a block in an external memory. In a low-power mode, pixels are only fetched from the lower-power on-chip memory and not the higher-power external memory. A smaller display window is defined and pixels outside the window are replaced by dummy data,.eliminating external-memory fetches. The smaller display window falls within the first block in the on-chip memory. Status and other information can be displayed in the smaller display window during stand-by modes, while a full-screen of data is displayed for full-power modes.
