20130241647 | Distortion Correction in Class-D Amplifiers - The present application describes an apparatus and method for reducing distortion in a class-D amplifier. The power output section of the amplifier is driven by an adjusted PWM signal, rather than by a PWM signal created directly from the input analog signal. A reference output, designed to closely track the input analog signal, is compared to the amplifier output. The resulting difference is an error signal which is inverted and summed with a second analog signal corresponding to the directly created PWM signal and changes the timing of the voltage transitions of the second analog signal. The changed voltage transitions are used to create the adjusted PWM signal. The inversion of the error signal causes negative feedback which results in the adjustment of the PWM signal being in a direction which reduces the error signal and thus the distortion of the amplifier. | 09-19-2013 |

20130275866 | SYNCHRONIZATION OF OFF-LINE REPORTS AND OFF-LINE MOBILE CONTENT PACKAGES - Provided are techniques for presenting a data visualization on an off-line mobile device. A report specification is parsed to detect a drill definition to navigate from a report viewer to an interactive visualizer. Data package report specifications are generated to create data and metadata. Data package report output is obtained for each of the data package report specifications. Data and metadata in each data package report output are converted. The converted data and metadata are stored into a data package. A mobile content package is created using the data package and a visualization specification. A report and the mobile content package are delivered to the off-line mobile device. The report viewer is used to present the report. In response to a user interacting with a user interface control on the presented report, the interactive visualizer is launched to present the data visualization using the mobile content package. | 10-17-2013 |

20090030915 | System and method for determining driving factor in a data cube - Method and system for determining a driving factor for a data value of interest in a multidimensional database, by collecting a context for the data value of interest in the multidimensional database. The data value of interest has dimensional levels with dimensional members outside the drill path of the data value of interest. The dimensional levels are enumerated in a list. A query using the dimensional members of the dimensional level is executed. A variance is calculated for the set of query results. A driving factor for the data value of interest is determined based on the variance. The driving factor is added to the context of the data value of interest. | 01-29-2009 |
