20150264693 | ENB, UE AND METHOD FOR PHYSICAL RESOURCE BLOCK ALLOCATION IN MTC UE - Embodiments allow an eNBs and a target UE to both calculate which resource block groups (RBGs) to use to transmit data. Because the RBGs that will contain information of interest can be pre-calculated, there is no need to receive and store all RBGs in the transmitted signal before decoding the signal and identifying which RBGs are of interest to the recipient. This allows receivers to buffer and/or store only those RBGs that will contain received information and discard others. The amount of information that needs to be stored and/or buffered thus is less and can result in receivers with less memory and, hence, lower cost. In order to calculate which RBGs are to be used to transmit and/or receive information, a logical RBG index is first calculated and the logical RBG index is mapped to a physical RBG index. | 09-17-2015 |

20140207763 | RANKING RELEVANT ATTRIBUTES OF ENTITY IN STRUCTURED KNOWLEDGE BASE - Architecture that addresses at least the problem of ranking the relevant attributes for a given entity within the context of a structured knowledge base (SKB). The architecture utilizes the attribute, entity type statistics, and the taxonomy of the attributes to consistently and efficiently rank attributes for each and every type of entity in the SKB. Using the SKB, intermediate features are computed, including the importance or popularity each entity type for every entity, inverse document frequency (IDF) computation for each attribute on a global basis, IDF computation for entity types, and the popularity of attributes for each entity type. The intermediate features are aggregated to obtain a final feature set, which can be used in combination with human judgments to train a machine learned classifier model to produce and predict a relevance score for a given entity and each of its attributes. The attributes are ranked for each entity using this score. | 07-24-2014 |

20110191111 | Audio Packet Loss Concealment by Transform Interpolation - In audio processing for an audio or video conference, a terminal receives audio packets having transform coefficients for reconstructing an audio signal that has undergone transform coding. When receiving the packets, the terminal determines whether there are any missing packets and interpolates transform coefficients from the preceding and following good frames. To interpolate the missing coefficients, the terminal weights first coefficients from the preceding good frame with a first weighting, weights second coefficients from the following good frame with a second weighting, and sums these weighted coefficients together for insertion into the missing packets. The weightings can be based on the audio frequency and/or the number of missing packets involved. From this interpolation, the terminal produces an output audio signal by inverse transforming the coefficients. | 08-04-2011 |
