20150039625 | Hierarchical Temporal Event Management - Hierarchical temporal event management enables reduction or elimination of synchronization of multiple potentially huge indexes for real-time log indexing. Logs are time series data of events having associated times. Raw events are indexed in a hierarchical index. Transformed, filtered, or aggregated events are indexed in the hierarchical index at a different level of the hierarchy than the raw events. The result is a single hierarchical index that supports queries that optionally cross “level boundaries”, enabling a search on both aggregated information and specific elements. Such searches are usable when generating “drill down” data for graphs and reports. Search requests having corresponding search specifications are received from requestors. In response, a hierarchical event store is searched and results are provided to the requestors. Optionally the results are themselves indexed in a level of the hierarchical index, enabling results of computationally expensive aggregate searches to be stored in the hierarchical index. | 02-05-2015 |

20080219377 | Transmitter crosstalk cancellation in multi-standard wireless transceivers - A method of suppressing interference from a transmitter operating to a first standard to a local receiver operating to a second standard is provided. Such interference being increasingly common as a result of the deployment of multiple wireless transceivers within electronic devices supporting multiple international standards, such as WiFi and WiMAX. Advantageously, the invention presents a means of actively cancelling interference both from transmitters operating within the same frequency range as defined by the standard as well as those operating in different frequency ranges. The active cancellation accordingly allows improved performance for systems with very low received signal powers, such as GPS, in addition to wireless data communications standards. An exemplary embodiment providing active cancellation through delaying a portion of the transmitted signal and adjusting both the amplitude and phase by means of polar modulation prior to summing this signal with the detected signal to provide a receive signal within which the transmit signal is nulled. | 09-11-2008 |
20080219389 | Feed-forward cancellation in wireless receivers - A method of suppressing interference from remote transmitters operating to a first standard having frequencies overlapping those for a receiver operating to a second standard is provided. Such interference being increasingly common as a result of the deployment of multiple wireless transceivers within electronic devices either supporting multiple international standards, such as WiFi and WiMAX, or within typical wireless environments. Advantageously, the invention presents a means of actively cancelling interference from transmitters operating within the same frequency range as defined by the standard. The active cancellation accordingly allows improved performance for systems with very low received signal powers, such as GPS, in addition to wireless data communications standards. An exemplary embodiment providing active cancellation through delaying the portion of the received signal according to the first standard adjusting both the amplitude and phase by means of polar modulation prior to summing this signal with the received signal to provide a receive signal within which the first standard signal is nulled. Control of the polar modulator being determined in the exemplary embodiment by minimizing received power after passband limiting filters. | 09-11-2008 |
