A method of address resolution broadcasting in a networked device is provided. The method includes receiving, at a switch fabric of the networked device, an address resolution request from one of a plurality of nodes of the networked device and substituting, as a source address, a cluster MAC address for a MAC address of the one of the plurality of nodes in the address resolution request. The method includes sending the address resolution request over a network and receiving, at the switch fabric, an address resolution reply over the network. The method includes substituting, as a destination address, an address for transmission to each of the plurality of nodes for the cluster MAC address in the address resolution reply, and transmitting the address resolution reply to the plurality of nodes.

A method of resetting a stateful connection in a storage cluster with stateless load-balancing is provided. The method includes receiving a packet associated with a stateful connection between a client and a first storage node of the storage cluster. The method includes sending a reset packet from a second storage node to the client, through a stateless load balancer, responsive to the second storage node failing to recognize the packet associated with the stateful connection between the client and the first storage node, wherein the client resets the stateful connection responsive to receiving the reset packet. The method includes sending further reset packets from the load balancer to a plurality of storage nodes of the storage cluster, responsive to receiving, at the load balancer, the reset packet from the second storage node, wherein the plurality of storage nodes reset stateful connection information responsive to receiving the further reset packets.

A method and apparatus for reducing the complexity of linear prediction analysis-by synthesis (LPAS) speech coders. The speech coder includes a multi-tap pitch predictor having various parameters and utilizing an adaptive codebook subdivided into at least a first vector codebook and a second vector codebook. The pitch predictor removes certain redundancies in a subject speech signal and vector quantizes the pitch predictor parameters.

A method and apparatus for reducing the complexity of linear prediction analysis-by-synthesis (LPAS) speech coders. The speech coder includes a multi-tap pitch predictor having various parameters and utilizing an adaptive codebook subdivided into at least a first vector codebook and a second vector codebook. The pitch predictor removes certain redundancies in a subject speech signal and vector quantizes the pitch predictor parameters. Further included is a source excitation (fixed) codebook that indicates pulses in the subject speech signal by deriving corresponding vector values. Serial optimization of the adaptive codebook first and then the fixed codebook produces a low complexity LPAS speech coder of the present invention.

A method and apparatus for reducing the complexity of linear prediction analysis-by-synthesis (LPAS) speech coders. The method and apparatus include product code vector quantization (PCVQ) of multi-tap pitch predictor coefficients, which reduces the search and quantization complexity of an adaptive codebook. The pitch predictor vector quantizes the predictor parameters using at least two codebooks, which are effectively subcodebooks of the pitch predictor adaptive codebook. Further included is a procedure for generating and selecting code vectors consisting of ternary (1,0,&minus;1) values, for optimizing a fixed codebook. The fixed codebook makes a single pass derivation of pulse position in the excitation signal. Serial optimization of the adaptive codebook first and then the fixed codebook, produces a low complexity LPAS speech coder of the present invention.

A pressure for a chamber is regulated by controlling either the exhaust pressure at the exhaust side of a first vacuum pump or the internal pressure at a compression stage of the first vacuum pump, where the first vacuum pump is directly communicating with the chamber. The pressure of the chamber can be regulated by combinations of the following: controlling the variable rotational frequency of a roots vacuum pump, a pre-vacuum pump, or a high compression pump; controlling a control valve between a pre-vacuum pump and the first vacuum pump; controlling a control valve for injecting gas into the exhaust side of the first vacuum pump or into the compression stage of the first vacuum pump; and controlling a control valve or control valves for bypassing the first vacuum pump or a compression stage or compression stages of the first vacuum pump. To regulate the pressure in the chamber, several types of control rules can be used, including: a PID control rule, a gain scheduler, and a threshold comparison control rule.
