20130117506 | INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DEVICE, DATA STORAGE ARRAY SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREFOR - An integrated circuit device comprises a data storage array controller for providing data storage array functionality for at least one data storage array. The data storage array controller comprises an address window controller arranged to receive at least one data storage device access command, and upon receipt of the at least one data storage device access command the address window controller is arranged to compare a target address of the at least one data storage device access command to an address window for a target storage device of the at least one data storage device access command, and if the target address is outside of the address window for the target storage device, block the at least one data storage device access command. | 05-09-2013 |
20140298111 | CONTROLLER, SATA SYSTEM AND METHOD OF OPERATION THEREFOR - A controller for operably coupling a drive unit to a host unit in a serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) system is described. The controller comprises a hardware processor arranged to: receive a plurality of SATA data frames; identify a first primitive sequence in at least one of the plurality of SATA data frames that adversely affects a performance of the SATA system; and replace the identified first primitive sequence with a second primitive sequence in response thereto. | 10-02-2014 |
20150234419 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ADAPTIVE TIME KEEPING FOR MULTIPLE TIMERS - A timer distribution module supports multiple timers and comprises: a command decoder arranged to determine expiration times of a plurality of timers; and a timer link list distribution adapter, LLDA, operably coupled to the command decoder. The LLDA is arranged to: receive a time reference from a master clock; receive timer data from the command decoder wherein the timer data comprises at least one timer expiration link list; construct a plurality of timer link lists based on at least one of: the timer expiration link list, at least one configurable timing barrier; dynamically split the link list timer data into a plurality of granularities based on the timer expiration link list; and output the dynamically split link list timer data. | 08-20-2015 |
20150242343 | SYSTEM ON CHIP AND METHOD OF OPERATING A SYSTEM ON CHIP - A system on chip, SoC, comprising two or more data sources, a memory unit, a memory control unit, and a processing unit. Each of the data sources is capable of providing a data stream. The memory control unit is arranged to maintain, for each of the data streams, a buffer in the memory unit and to route the respective data stream to the processing unit via the respective buffer. Each of the buffers has buffer characteristics which are variable and which comprise at least the amount of free memory of the respective buffer. The memory control unit is arranged to allocate and de-allocate memory regions to and from each of the buffers in dependence of the buffer characteristics of the respective buffer, thereby allowing for re-allocation of memory of the memory unit among the buffers. | 08-27-2015 |

20120101979 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EXTRACTING INFORMATION FROM STRUCTURED DOCUMENTS - Systems and methods for extracting information from structured documents are provided. The systems and methods relate to selecting a centroid document from a group of structured documents, selecting a subset of the group of structured documents in order to form a cluster of the subset of documents about the centroid document. The selecting the subset is preferably based on the relative similarity between each of the selected subset and the centroid document. Then, systems and methods according to the invention include marking a data element on the centroid document. The systems and elements also include identifying a data element on each of the subset of documents, the data element that corresponds to the marked data element on the centroid document. Finally, data may be extracted from the subset of documents based on the identifying step. | 04-26-2012 |
20120209795 | WEB PAGE ANALYSIS SYSTEM FOR COMPUTERIZED DERIVATION OF WEBPAGE AUDIENCE CHARACTERISTICS - A system for generating a demographic profile for a set of at least one webpage, the system comprising a webpage audience information gatherer operative for providing, for at least one webpage, training data including demographic information characterizing an audience of the webpage; a predictor developing system operative to compute at least one content characteristic of said webpage and to develop a prediction process which if applied to said content characteristic would have predicted said training data; and a webpage audience predictor operative, for at least one new webpage, whose audience is unknown, to compute at least one content characteristic of the new webpage and to generate predicted demographic information predicted to characterize said unknown audience of said new webpage by applying said prediction process to said new webpage's content characteristic. | 08-16-2012 |
20130179305 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FACILITATING INTERNET SHOPPING - As part of the general search functionality in the context of a comparison shopping site, a skip by popularity functionality evaluates each keyword submitted to a search engine. The skip by popularity functionality then determines whether the keyword or keywords submitted are highly relevant to a specific attribute or category. When a relevance threshold with respect to a specific attribute or category is met, certain criteria may be applied to test whether the user can be skipped over intermediate navigational steps and immediately delivered to the highly relevant category or attribute or even to a comparison shopping page for a specific product. Skip by popularity functionality may be used to determine and select the single most popular product associated with the keyword as determined either by users, or according to some other suitable determination scheme. | 07-11-2013 |
