A system is presented providing content to a plurality of handheld devices (including musical selections). The devices can access a server over the Internet via a WIFI or other similar wireless interconnection and can download songs requested by a user from the server or from other users using, e.g., a P2P protocol. All downloads are governed by applicable DRM rules. Content and playlists may also be pushed by a server from other sources and means including, e.g., podcasting, based on predetermined rules, favorite preferences of users, and other criteria.

This paper presents a comprehensive review of the industrial applications of artificial neural networks (ANNs), in the last 12 years. Common questions that arise to practitioners and control engineers while deciding how to use NNs for specific industrial tasks are answered. Workable issues regarding implementation details, training and performance evaluation of such algorithms are also discussed, based on a judiciously chronological organization of topologies and training methods effectively used in the past years. The most popular ANN topologies and training methods are listed and briefly discussed, as a reference to the application engineer. Finally, ANN industrial applications are grouped and tabulated by their main functions and what they actually performed on the referenced papers. The authors prepared this paper bearing in mind that an organized and normalized review would be suitable to help industrial managing and operational personnel decide which kind of ANN topology and training method would be adequate for their specific problems.

An unlicensed wireless service (126) is adapted to generate the interface protocols of a licensed wireless service (106) to provide transparent transition of communication sessions between a licensed wireless service and an unlicensed wireless service. In one embodiment, a mobile station (102) includes level 1, level 2, and level 3 protocols for licensed wireless service and an unlicensed wireless service. An indoor base station (128) and indoor network controller provide protocol conversion for the unlicensed wireless service into a standard base station (108) controller interface of the licensed wireless service.

Artificial neural networks have been studied to determine their applicability to modeling and control of physical processes. Some basic concepts relating to neural networks and how they can be used to model weld-bead geometry in terms of the equipment parameters selected to produce the weld are explained. Approaches to utilizing neural networks in process control are discussed. The need for modeling transient as well as static characteristics of physical systems for closed-loop control is pointed out, and an approach to achieving this is presented. The performance of neural networks for modeling is evaluated using actual welding data. It is concluded that the accuracy of neural network modeling is fully comparable with the accuracy achieved by more traditional modeling schemes. >

Apparatus (130) and method for receiving a QAM signal using a backward compatible hierarchical coding scheme to increase data transmission using finer constellations, while maintaining compatability with existing Direct Broadcasting Satellite (DBS) systems. The apparatus employs multiple stages of decoders (146,170) such that the finer constellations of the QAM signal are unraveled at different stages.

A multiprocessor computer system comprises a plurality of network interfaces each adapted to be coupled to respective external networks for receiving and sending data packets to and from remote devices coupled to the external networks via a particular communication protocol. The multiprocessor computer system further comprises a plurality of symmetrical processors including a control processor and at least one switching processor. The switching processor further includes at least one network application executing thereon. The control processor further includes an operating system portion having a kernel memory and at least one network driver communicating with the plurality of network interfaces. A buffer descriptor list is accessible by the network application and the network driver. The buffer descriptor list defines the status of buffers provided in the kernel memory that are used for temporary storage of data packets transferred between the network application and the plurality of network interfaces via the network driver. Data packets received by the network interfaces from the external networks directed to the network application are placed in selected ones of the buffers by the network driver for direct access by the network application. Similarly, data packets transmitted from the network application to the external networks are placed in other selected ones of the buffers for direct access by the network driver.

A data packet switching and server load balancing device is provided by a general-purpose multiprocessor computer system (10). The general-purpose multiprocessor computer system (10) comprises a plurality of symmetrical processors (24o ... 24n) coupled together by a common data bus (12), a main memory (14) shared by the processors (24o ... 24n), and a plurality of network interfaces (17i ... 17m) each adapted to be coupled to respective external networks for receiving and sending data packets via a particular communication protocol, such as Transmission Control/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). A first one of the processors (24o ... 24n) is adaptive to serve as a control processor and remaining ones of the processors (24o ... 24n) are adapted to serve as data packet switching processors.
