A content stream user defines preferences, which are compared to aggregated metadata describing in real time a plurality of content streams to which the user has access. The metadata for each content stream may be generated by automated analysis of onscreen indicators, noise levels in standard video or audio sequences, or speech recognition or image recognition data applied to identify particular keywords, individuals, etc. Where a match between content and user preferences is identified, the user is notified, and may be given the option of switching to the matching content stream. A number of approaches are used to ensure that the user is able to access the whole of the content of interest, and does not miss the starting porting. Certain parts of the content streams may be cached for video on demand viewing, or the content streams may be buffered allowing access to various portions of the stream, or a delay in content transmission may be introduced relative to the metadata transmission so as to allow time for a content stream change.

A method for cross-platform porting of applications includes extracting one or more platform independent models from an existing one or more composite applications running on a given source platform. These platform independent models are then transformed into implementation artifacts on another, target platform, thereby effectively porting the composite application from one platform to another. The generated implementation artifacts on the target platform leverage existing assets in the target environment, which makes these generated artifacts “contextually-aware”.

A technique to share a local oscillator signal between two radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs). The local oscillator signal generated internally by one RFIC is ported to the other RFIC for use in transmit and / or receive operation. The local oscillator signal that is ported may be an RF local oscillator signal. Each RFIC may include a bi-directional port circuit that can be operated to make the RFIC a master, slave or may be totally disabled to disable the porting feature. This is particularly useful in RFICs that are used to communicate using MIMO radio algorithms which rely for optimum performance on phase and frequency coherency among a plurality of transmitters and a plurality of receivers.

Computer methods and apparatus for efficient and automatic development and porting of computer programs for wireless devices are provided. Executables for wireless devices can be automatically generated based on the selection of the wireless devices, attributes of the wireless devices, information from libraries, resources, and a version of the source code.

A network processor has numerous novel features including a multi-threaded processor array, a multi-pass processing model, and Global Packet Memory (GPM) with hardware managed packet storage. These unique features allow the network processor to perform high-touch packet processing at high data rates.

This allows quicker and higher quality porting of software features into the network processor. Processor performance also does not severely drop off when additional processing features are added. For example, packets can be more intelligently processed by assigning processing elements to different bounded duration arrival processing tasks and variable duration main processing tasks. A recirculation path moves packets between the different arrival and main processing tasks. Other novel hardware features include a hardware architecture that efficiently intermixes co-processor operations with multi-threaded processing operations and improved cache affinity.

This invention proposes a new, improved method and apparatus for applying web segments to a traveling web. These web segments, sometimes called ears or wings, may be asymmetrical or otherwise incompatible with the usual slip-and-cut method. The asymmetrical shape may have differing web tensions which can cause the web segments to be improperly engaged with the vacuum holes on an anvil roll. The present invention utilizes both circumferential rows of vacuum holes and an additional pattern of ear retaining vacuum holes. The circumferential rows of vacuum holes are activated consecutively by vacuum commutation, however, the pattern of ear retaining vacuum holes are activated simultaneously to counter the effects of differing web tensions on the ear portions.
