A system and method are provided for encoding and decoding multiplexed video signals to de-jitter the content. A first de-jitter operation is performed on incoming signals and a second de-jitter operation is performed on PCR modified outbound packetized signals after sequencing of the packetized signals has been determined. In one case the second de-jitter operation can be performed using a PLL that is based, at least in part, on the output hardware limitations.

A data-fetching and data-rendering system may, in response to receiving a page display request, construct a static, possibly nested query for retrieving all the data to be rendered for the page and store the query result in a data store. For a future page display request, the system may similarly construct a query and determine whether the query can be resolved from the data store. If not, the system may construct a 'diff query' to fetch only the missing data. In some embodiments, in response to a subsequent page update request, the system may retrieve from the server all the data likely to be viewed or updated and render the data changes corresponding to the requested update. The system may then submit the data changes to the server and undo the rendering of the data changes when the server fails to process the data changes.

Optimistic data fetching and rendering

A statistical multiplexer is provided with a series of encoders that encode media streams at different bitrates to reduce jitter. The encoded media streams are transmitted to a multiplexer over a network and experience jitter that is reduced by a de-jitter arrangement. The multiplexer rearranges a transmit time of select packets in select ones of the media streams received over the network when a total group bandwidth available on the transmission channel over which the multiplexed media stream is to be transmitted is less than a sum of the bandwidths of the media streams because of the jitter and de-jitter process experienced by the media streams. The rearranging causes the bandwidth of the multiplexed media stream to be no greater than the total group bandwidth of the transmission channel without exceeding a maximum bit rate at which each individual encoded media stream is configured.

Jitter management in a statistical multiplexer employing an IP network

Embodiments are disclosed for fast data fetching and rendering. In some embodiments, in response to receiving a page display request, a system constructs a static, possibly nested query for retrieving all the data to be rendered for the page and stores the query result in a data store. For a future page display request, the system similarly constructs a query and determines whether the query can be resolved from the data store. If not, the system constructs a 'diff query' to fetch only the missing data. In some embodiments, in response to a subsequent page update request, the system retrieves from the server all the data likely to be viewed or updated and renders the data changes corresponding to the requested update. The system then submits the data changes to the server and undoes the rendering of the data changes when the server fails to process the data changes.

A system and method are provided for reducing burden on real-time processing when combining overlay or crawl text with a primary video image. Based on a crawl rate of the crawl text, the method includes determining fractional pixel values associated with the crawl rate and pre-filtering the overlay or crawl text based on the established fractional pixel values, and combining windows of the various and appropriate pre-filtered overlay or crawl text with the primary image for encoding and delivery.

A method and apparatus for adaptive denoising of source video in a video conference application is provided. Source video frames received from a video capture device are divided into a plurality of 16&#xd7;16 blocks. For each source block, a moving object detection process and a noise estimation process are performed. Then temporal denoising is adaptively applied to the blocks of the source frame based on the noise estimation and moving object detection. The adaptively filtered blocks are provided to an output frame and forwarded to a coding module for encoding.

In one embodiment, a method includes accessing, from a data store of the communication network, user information associated with a first user of the communication network, identifying one or more entities associated with the communication network that are relevant to the first user based on the user information, and retrieving, for each identified entity, one or more content frames associated with the entity. The method includes ranking the one or more content frames based on the user information. The method also includes sending, to a client device of the first user, one or more of the content frames for display to the first user in ranked order, wherein each content frame is selectable by the first user to display the selected content frame in association with a particular content item for a specified period of time.

Displaying temporary profile content items on communication networks

A method and apparatus for adaptive denoising of source video in a video conference application is provided. Video captured is analyzed on a frame by frame basis to determine whether denoising of the frame should be performed prior to providing the source frame to an encoder. If the frame is to be denoised, the frame is divided into a plurality of blocks and a local denoising process is performed on a block per block basis.

Techniques for synchronizing streams in an adaptive streaming environment include cross-chassis and intra-chassis synchronization of video and/or audio. In an adaptive streaming system that streams content in segments or chunks at varying levels of quality corresponding to different coding rates, implementations enable seamless switching between output streams. For example, synchronizing multiple output streams for switching between coded adaptive bit rate streams across multiple chassis involve calculating an NTP/UTC offset.

Disclosed are methods, systems, and articles of manufactures for implementing correct-by-construction physical designs with multiple-patterning-awareness by identifying a first set of grids for a layer based at least in part upon characteristics of other layer(s), identifying a set of tracks for the layer to implement the physical design for the layer, and implementing a shape in the physical design by at least terminating an end of the shape at a grid of the identified first set of grids. The end of the shape may be extended or contracted from its as-design location to the grid. The physical design thus implemented is correct-by-construction and is free of violations of one or more directional design rules.

Routing methods for an integrated circuit design layout are disclosed. The layout can include design netlists and library cells. A multiple-level global routing can generate topological wire for each net. An area oriented graph-based detail routing on the design can be performed. A post route optimization after the detail routing can be performed to further improve the routing quality. Some methods can be single threaded all or some of the time, and/or multi-threaded some or all of the time.
