The present invention includes a method ( ), client device ( ), server ( ) and article of manufacture ( ) for compressing/decompressing a universal resource identifier URI. The method includes the steps of: determining, starting at a first end of a string, a first count of characters that sequentially match between a previous register and a current register; determining, starting at a second end of the string, a second count of characters that sequentially match between the previous register and the current register, and encoding the URI based on the first count and the second count.

A quarter turn fastener, for securing a plurality of members together, includes a blade member which has upturned corner portions defining sharp points for bitingly engaging the undersurface of the lowermost one of the plurality of members so as to prevent retrograde movement of the quarter turn fastener from the locked state back to the unlocked state. A quarter turn fastener assembly also comprises a stop member for engaging wall portions of another one of the members to be secured together such that rotation of the quarter turn fastener is limited to 90Â arcuate extents either from the unlocked state to the locked state or from the locked state to the unlocked state.

A nut cap and assembly therewith is provided. The capped nut assembly is made up of a nut body and a cap. The nut body has an elongated internally threaded member formed with polygonal side walls extending from a collar member at the inner end toward the outer end, and the cap has a hollow shell with an end wall closing one end and being open at an opposite end. The cap is sleeved over said nut body with its side wall surrounding the polygonal side walls and its closed end overlies the outer end of the nut body, and the open end of the cap has a radially inwardly flared resilient lip portion that attaches to the collar member in a snap fitting relationship. The outer end of the nut body has an engagement member protruding therefrom, and the inside surface of the hollow shell has a ramping member at a location that it is adapted to strike the engagement member whenever the cap is rotated about the nut body such that the ramping member biases the resilient lip portion in a direction to release its holding force on the collar portion.

A system is described for analyzing and automatically recognizing content of packet streams intercepted over a communication link. The system comprises an interface and a packet stream analyzer. The interface is configured to receive packets over the communication link and assemble the received packets into one or more packet streams. The packet stream analyzer is configured to receive respective packet streams from said interface and analyze each packet stream to generate selected types of information regarding the packet stream. The packet stream analyzer comprises an analyzer module graph comprising a plurality of analyzer modules interconnected in a graph. Respective ones of the analyzer modules are configured to perform at least one analysis operation in connection with at least a portion of a packet stream provided thereto to determine the likelihood that the packet stream is of one of a plurality of predetermined types, and generate at least one selected type of information in relation thereto.

A system for recognizing speech receives an input speech vector and identifies a Gaussian distribution. The system determines an address from the input speech vector () and uses the address to retrieve a distance value for the Gaussian distribution from a table (). The system then determines the probability of the Gaussian distribution using the distance value () and recognizes the input speech vector based on the determined probability ().

Systems and methods for addressing memory where data is interleaved across different banks using different interleaving granularities improve graphics memory bandwidth by distributing graphics data for efficient access during rendering. Various partition strides may be selected to modify the number of sequential addresses mapped to each DRAM and change the interleaving granularity. A memory addressing scheme is used to allow different partition strides for each virtual memory page without causing memory aliasing problems in which physical memory locations in one virtual memory page are also mapped to another virtual memory page. When a physical memory address lies within a virtual memory page crossing region, the smallest partition stride is used to access the physical memory.
