20080251099 | METHOD FOR REMOVING SMEAR AND MAGNETIC RECORDING/REPRODUCING APPARATUS WITH FUNCTION OF REMOVING SMEAR - Provided is a smear-removing method that can remove smear of a manufactured thin-film magnetic head. The method is performed to a thin-film magnetic head including an MR effect element for reading data having two electrode layers sandwiching an MR effect multilayer as a magneto-sensitive portion therebetween. The method comprises the step of applying a stress voltage less than a breaking voltage of the MR effect element between the two electrode layers to burn off smear. In the method, it is preferable that the stress voltage is applied while an electric resistance or an output voltage of the MR effect element is measured, and the stress voltage is increased until the value of the electric resistance or the output voltage reaches an upper limit specified value specified from a value of an electric resistance or an output voltage in a normal case where smear is not present. | 10-16-2008 |

20110090795 | DIFFERENTIATION AMONG OCCURRENCES OF PACKET REORDERING, CONGESTIVE PACKET LOSS, OR RANDOM PACKET LOSS IN COMMUNICATION NETWORKS - Example embodiments disclosed herein may relate to differentiating among network congestion, packet reordering, or random packet loss in wireless networks. | 04-21-2011 |
20130322247 | ENHANCING AQM TO COMBAT WIRELESS LOSSES - In order to maintain a small, stable backlog at an internet router buffer, active queue management (AQM) algorithms drop packets probabilistically at the onset of congestion. This causes Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) data flow rates to reduce. However, wireless losses may be misinterpreted as congestive losses and induce spurious reductions in flow rates. A prior art AQM with random early detection (RED), fails to maintain a stable backlog under time-varying wireless losses. However, the present invention can resolve the problem and provide a robust tracking of the backlog to a preset reference level by applying a control-theoretic vehicle, Internal Model principle, to realize such tracking. An integral controller (IC) is used as an embodiment of the principle that is robust against time-varying wireless losses under various network scenarios. | 12-05-2013 |

20110295877 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ONLINE HANDWRITING RECOGNITION IN WEB QUERIES - A graphic representation resulting from a user interacting with a user interface operating on a user device is received over a network. The graphic representation corresponds to a portion of a desired graphic character of a graphic character set (e.g. Chinese). The graphic representation is analyzed to select a plurality of graphic characters of the graphic character set that are a probable match of the graphic representation. The plurality of probable graphic characters are transmitted back to the user. A selection of one of the plurality of probable graphic characters is received over the network. A plurality of suggested search terms are identified to the user. Each suggested search term comprises at least one graphic character from the graphic character set. One of the plurality of suggested search terms is selected to be used to conduct an Internet search. An Internet search is then conducted using the selected search term. | 12-01-2011 |

20110221938 | Optical Black-Level Cancellation for Optical Sensors Using Open-Loop Sample Calibration Amplifier - A Optical Black Pixel (OBP) cancellation circuit corrects offsets in sensors in a CCD/CMOS image sensor when reading dark pixels such at the periphery. A pixel voltage is switched to a sampling capacitor during two phases of the same pixel pulse. Sampling capacitors and feedback capacitors connect to differential inputs of an amplifier. An accumulating capacitor accumulates voltage differences and generates a common-mode voltage that is fed back to another sampling capacitor that stores an amplifier offset. The sampling capacitor and accumulating capacitor and their associated switches form a discrete-time first-order low-pass filter that filters the pixel voltage during the first phase. In the second phase the amplifier acts as a unity-gain amplifier to output an average of the pixel voltage differences generated during an OBP time when blackened or covered pixels are read from the image sensor. | 09-15-2011 |
20120126736 | Bootstrapped High-Side Driver Control Without Static DC Current for Driving a Motor Bridge Circuit - A motor driver circuit for driving the gate node of a high-side driver transistor to a boosted voltage from a charge pump draws little or no static current from the charge pump. The gate node is pulled to the boosted voltage by a p-channel pullup-control transistor that is driven by p-channel transistors that are pumped by capacitors that cut off current flow to ground from the charge pump. An n-channel output-shorting transistor shorts the gate node to the output when the high-side driver is turned off. A coupling capacitor initializes the shorting transistor for each output transition. A p-channel output-sensing transistor generates a feedback to a second stage that drives the coupling capacitor. P-channel diode transistors and an n-channel equalizing transistor control the voltage on the coupling capacitor. | 05-24-2012 |
