09/631368

Inventors:

Dennis Tucker - Denton TX, US
Michael D. Harold - Irving TX, US

International Classification:

H04B 1/66

US Classification:

710 65, 710 68, 382244, 382246, 382247, 382248, 341 51

Abstract:

A system, method and algorithm for performing statistical analysis on an input data source to determine an optimal token size resulting in an increased ratio value is described. Changes to the values of the tokens prior to compression may result in an overall compression increase even if the data source has been previously compressed. Specific techniques for modifying the tokens include varying the base size, rearrangement of the tokens, and modifications by matrix multiplication. After modification of the tokens, compression of the data using one or more lossless compression methods may be performed. The technique may be repeated by using the output of previous compression processes as input to additional entropy and compression optimization.

Abstract:

A wireless cellular or other device to control distribution and presentation of audio, video, or combined audio and video content transmitted from a content server and delivered to at least one contiguous device at substantially the same time. The cellular device sends control signals via various wireless communication protocols based upon user input. The control signals are sent to a content server attached to a TCP/IP network. The wireless cellular device and the content server interact through a request and reply interface, located within the wireless cellular device, based on inputs from the wireless device user. Content available for transmission from the content server is displayed and subsequently selected by the user. Separate audio and video content may be distributed to individually distinct rendering devices contiguous to and selected by the user. During or after the content is transmitted, the user may interact with the content through the wireless cellular device.

US Classification:

709/225000, 709/203000

Abstract:

A method, system and apparatus allowing data processing among multiple physical locations using Lightweight Directory Access Protocol-enabled databases, effectively transforming multiple directory servers into a single logical database. The method, system and apparatus creates a dynamic, distributed database environment for processing complex data types, including data schemas, data documents and software objects. The distributed database environment is accessed either locally or remotely using a simple set of application programming interfaces, which include insert, update, delete and query capabilities. The persistence service supports commit and rollback protocols in a distributed transaction environment.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707741

Abstract:

An application engine of a distributed data management system includes acquisition applications which execute to obtain portions of source data from different data sources. Each portion of source data is mapped to an interlingual representation. The application engine transmits data objects including the portions of source data and corresponding interlingual representations to a data container. For each data object, the data container stores the source data and the interlingual representation in one or more databases. The data container also parses the source data of the data object according to one or more of a full-text indexing technique, a semantic indexing technique, or a structured metadata indexing technique, and stores the indexed data. A database client may receive a search query and search the source data and interlingual representations stored in the databases.

International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:

A system and method for implementing one or more specific purpose rule-based n-bit virtual processing machines. Specific purposes include, but are not limited to, encryption, compression, and arbitrary precision arithmetic. Each virtual machine consists of a command processor, a rule-base, and an interface between the command processor and the rule-base. Each of the elements of a specific purpose rule-based n-bit virtual machine--the command processor, the rule-base, and the rule-base interface--is preferably implemented as software. In the preferred embodiment, the system uses a stored rule-base as its instruction set and provides for input and output in the form of variable length bit strings of length n where n is any number greater than zero. Each of the rules within the rule-base performs one or more binary string operations against one or more variable length n-bit strings. The function of the rule-base is to provide a set of application specific rules that allows the machine to perform a particular task such as encryption, data compression, or arbitrary precision arithmetic.

Abstract:

A system, method and apparatus in which a client computer initiates and communicates a distributed ledger transaction, which transaction is labeled with a timestamp. A first hashing algorithm are applied to the transaction data and timestamp data to create a first hash value, and the first hash value is associated with the transaction data. When a second distributed ledger transaction is initiated, a second hashing algorithm is applied to the second transaction data to generate a second hash value, and a third hashing algorithm is applied to the to the first and second hash values to create a third hash value which is associated with the second transaction data. The procedure is implemented with each additional transaction data submission. The transaction data is processed in a first-in-first-out sequence based upon the hash values associated with the transaction data.
