Such techniques allow an auctioneer, such as a search engine, to generate higher revenue than using a fixed auction format. For example, in the context of sponsored search auction, if the value of a click and the probability of a click are positively correlated, the auctioneer generates higher revenue by ranking the advertisers by bids rather than by bids multiplied by quality. | 07-28-2011 |

An echo return loss (ERL) estimate is calculated based on the energy calculations, and a preliminary decision is made as to whether DT is present based on the ERL estimate and the energy calculations. If DT is detected, then a counter is set to a hangover value. If DT is not detected, then the counter is reduced. This process is repeated, and, for each iteration, a final decision as to whether DT is present is made based on the counter value. | 11-12-2009 |
20090279686 | ECHO PATH CHANGE DETECTION IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS - In one embodiment, the present invention is a method for detecting an echo path change (EPC) in a telecommunications network. The method detects whether the effectiveness of echo cancellation of an echo canceller has decreased relatively significantly. Once a relatively significant decrease is detected, the method determines whether the decrease was an EPC or an inadvertent detection of double talk (DT). In particular, the method considers whether echo is effectively cancelled over a hangover period. Further, echo return loss (ERL) estimates are generated over the hangover period and compared to a lowest-possible ERL for the network. If both (1) echo cancellation is ineffective and (2) a sufficient number of ERL estimates are not below the worst-case ERL, then an EPC decision is made. If either (1) echo cancellation is effective or (2) a sufficient number of ERL estimates are below the worst-case ERL, then a DT decision is made. | 11-12-2009 |

20120085449 | High Energy Density Elastic Accumulator and Method of Use Thereof - The invention is an accumulator which stores energy by deforming from its original shape in response to the flow of a pressurized fluid. The stored energy is returned when the fluid flow is reversed and the accumulator returns to its original shape. At least one part of the novelty of the accumulator is that it captures elastic strain energy of a stretched bladder, as opposed to relying on gases and metals for energy storage as is usually seen in conventional accumulators. | 04-12-2012 |

20120285621 | SEMICONDUCTOR CHAMBER APPARATUS FOR DIELECTRIC PROCESSING - Systems and chambers for processing dielectric films on substrates are described. Vertical combo chambers include two separate processing chambers vertically arranged in a processing stack. A top processing chamber is configured to process the substrate at relatively low substrate temperature. A robot is configured to remove a substrate from the top processing chamber and change height before placing the substrate in a bottom processing chamber. The bottom processing chamber is configured to anneal the substrate to further process the dielectric film. The vertical stacking increases the number of processing chambers which can be included on a single processing system. The separation of the bottom (annealing or curing) chamber and the top chamber allows the top chamber to remain at a low temperature which hastens the start of a process conducted on a new wafer transferred into the top chamber. This configuration of vertical-combo chamber can be used for depositing a dielectric film in the top chamber and then curing the film in the bottom chamber. The configuration is also helpful for dielectric removal processes which create solid residue, in which case the bottom chamber is used to sublimate the solid residue. The separation limits or substantially eliminates the amount of solid residue which accumulates in the top chamber. Simultaneous processing, thermal separation and contamination control afforded by the design of the vertical combo chambers improve the throughput of a processing system. | 11-15-2012 |
