20090245402 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TILE PROCESSING IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - An apparatus and method for tile processing using a plurality of tile descriptors comprising defining the plurality of tile descriptors in a time-frequency plane; preparing the plurality of tile descriptors to be sent to a receiver for storage; allocating at least one tile associated with the plurality of tile descriptors to a user; and notifying the allocated at least one tile to a transmitter for transmitting a wireless signal to the user using the allocated at least one tile. In one aspect, the apparatus and method further comprise receiving the wireless signal, wherein the wireless signal comprises an encoded user message; retrieving the plurality of tile descriptors from a memory unit; and demodulating the wireless signal using the plurality of tile descriptors to obtain the encoded user message. | 10-01-2009 |
20090245434 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR TILE AND ASSIGNMENT PROCESSING - Disclosed are methods and apparatus for synchronizing tile processing and assignment processing in a communication device. In particular, the methods and apparatus utilize a tile processing scorecard with a number of assertable bits corresponding to a number of tiles to be tile processed. As each tile is tile processed, the scorecard or bit indicators are asserted to indicate that the tile has been processed. Assignment jobs, which involve codewords having information from symbols in multiple tiles are processed after all of the pertinent tiles are tile processed. The scorecard information is accessible for assignment processing to determine which tiles have been processed, thus affording synchronization of tile processing with assignment processing, while maximizing the independence of these two processing operations. Tile processing operations may further use the scorecard information to prioritize or order tile processing in relation to known queued assignment jobs. | 10-01-2009 |
20090247107 | SIMPLIFIED INTERFERENCE SUPPRESSION IN MULTI-ANTENNA RECEIVERS - A signal received via a plurality of antennas, and containing an interference component and a desired communication component, is processed to suppress the interference component. The interference component is suppressed based on an inverse of a spatial covariance matrix, which inverse is produced without performing a matrix inversion operation. | 10-01-2009 |
20110103395 | COMPUTING THE BURST SIZE FOR A HIGH SPEED PACKET DATA NETWORKS WITH MULTIPLE QUEUES - A communications method is provided. The method includes processing multiple packet queues for a high speed packet data network and associating one or more arrays for the multiple packet queues. The method also includes generating an index for the arrays, where the index is associated with a time stamp in order to determine a burst size for the high speed packet data network. | 05-05-2011 |

20130304255 | SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR DISPLAYING DRUG INTERACTIONS ON DRUG STORAGE CONTAINERS - The present disclosure relates to a system and apparatus for displaying drug interaction and side effects on a drug storage container. The system includes a server and a plurality of medicine dispensing devices communicatively connectable to the server. Each of the dispensing devices includes a medicine storage portion having a discharge port, a dispensing assembly configured to selectively receive the pills from the discharge port, an electronic display screen, and a control system. The control system is configured to associate a medicine stored in the medicine storage portion of the medicine dispensing device, generate a list of potential drug interactions associated with the medicine and a second medicine associated with a user, receive, from the server, the list of potential drug interactions associated with the medicine, and display the list of potential drug interactions on the electronic display screen of the first medicine dispensing device. | 11-14-2013 |
20140107418 | DUAL VIEW ENDOSCOPE - An endoscope is provided to examine internal organs with front and rear views. The endoscope comprises a shaft extending from a distal end in a rearward direction along a longitudinal axis towards a proximal end, with the distal and proximal ends defining a hollow channel extended there-through. The endoscope further comprises a first lens positioned adjacent to the distal end and configured to receive a first image in a forward direction along the longitudinal axis, with the forward direction generally 180 degree from the rearward direction. The endoscope further comprises a rearview module positioned adjacent to the distal end. The rearview module comprises a second lens configured to be positioned adjacent to the distal end, and receive a second image in a target direction having a directional component in the rearward direction along the longitudinal axis, independently of the first lens receiving the first image in the forward direction. | 04-17-2014 |
20140324565 | MOBILE ECOMMERCE PLATFORM - A method and system is disclosed for providing dynamic group-based retail events in an m commerce platform. The method includes registering merchant-users and consumer-users, receiving a merchant profile, defining a group of consumer-users, wherein the group is time-limited and geographically limited, obtaining consent from a merchant-user to market and advertise an item to the group, determining a offer price for said item, generating an advertisement to present said offer price to each consumer-user of the group, transmitting said advertisement over a network for a predetermined period of time for each consumer-user of the group to review, receiving an acceptance of the offer price for the item, generating a redeemable voucher having a unique transaction identification and a scannable code and accepting the redeemable voucher. | 10-30-2014 |
20140326744 | SMART MEDICINE CONTAINER - A smart medicine container is provided to secure accesses to a bulk supply of pills stored therein and pills dispensed therein. The medicine container comprises a control unit, a memory, a communication interface unit, a pill-supply housing configured to store a bulk supply of pills, a pill-supply locking means configured to lock access to the pill-supply housing, a dispensing assembly configured to dispense pills from among the bulk supply of pills, and a dispensed-pill housing configured to receive and store dispensed pills, a dispensed-pill locking means configured to lock access to the dispensed-pill housing. The control unit is programmed to irreversibly cause the pill-supply locking means to lock access to the pill-supply housing and irreversibly cause the dispensed-pill locking means to lock access to the dispensed-pill housing when receiving information indicating that the bulk supply of pills should permanently discontinue to be taken by a patient. | 11-06-2014 |
20140365916 | Contact List with Conversation Point Reminder - A method is provided to remind a user of a communication device of a conversation point for a future communication. The communication device has access to a contact list, with each contact list entry configured to retrieve a communication address of an entity, a name identifying the entity, and any user-inputted memo for reminding of a conversation point. The method comprises receiving an input indicating a need to activate a first contact list entry for the user to perform at least one of receiving and requesting a communication addressed to the communication address thereof. The method further comprises checking whether there is any user-inputted memo attached to the first contact list entry, and causing an indication indicating a presence of the memo to be automatically displayed on the display screen during activating of the first contact list entry when the memo is detected attached thereto. | 12-11-2014 |

20100188419 | SELECTIVE DISPLAY OF OCR'ED TEXT AND CORRESPONDING IMAGES FROM PUBLICATIONS ON A CLIENT DEVICE - Text is extracted from a source image of a publication using an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) process. A document is generated containing text segments of the extracted text. The document includes a control module that responds to user interactions with the displayed document. Responsive to a user selection of a displayed text segment, a corresponding image segment from the source image containing the text is retrieved and rendered in place of the selected text segment. The user can select again to toggle the display back to the text segment. Each text segment can be tagged with a garbage score indicating its quality. If the garbage score of a text segment exceeds a threshold value, the corresponding image segment can be automatically displayed instead. | 07-29-2010 |
