A method of generating executable code for a target platform in a neural network includes receiving a spiking neural network description. The method also includes receiving platform-specific instructions for one or more target platforms. Further, the method includes, generating executable code for the target platform(s) based on the platform-specific instructions and the network description.

Compiling network descriptions to multiple platforms

Apparatus and methods for developing parallel networks. Parallel network design may comprise a general purpose language (GPC) code portion and a network description (ND) portion. GPL tools may be utilized in designing the network. The GPL tools may be configured to produce network specification language (NSL) engine adapted to generate hardware optimized machine executable code corresponding to the network description. The developer may be enabled to describe a parameter of the network. The GPC portion may be automatically updated consistent with the network parameter value. The GPC byte code may be introspected by the NSL engine to provide the underlying source code that may be automatically reinterpreted to produce the hardware optimized machine code. The optimized machine code may be executed in parallel.

A method for dynamically modifying synaptic delays in a neural network includes initializing a delay parameter and operating the neural network. The method further includes dynamically updating the delay parameter based on a program which is based on a statement including the delay parameter.

Dynamically assigning and examining synaptic delay

A mobile platform displays a corrected view of an image and/or augmented reality (AR) data based on the position of the user with respect to the mobile platform. The corrected view is produced by determining a position of the user with respect to the mobile platform using an image of the user from a backward facing camera. The display information is provided in the form of an image or video frame of the environment captured with a forward facing camera or AR data. The position of the user with respect to the mobile platform is used to determine the portion of the display information to be displayed that is aligned with the line of sight between the user and the mobile platform so that the displayed information is aligned with the real world environment.

A simple format is disclosed and referred to as Elementary Network Description (END). The format can fully describe a large-scale neuronal model and embodiments of software or hardware engines to simulate such a model efficiently. The architecture of such neuromorphic engines is optimal for high-performance parallel processing of spiking networks with spike-timing dependent plasticity. Methods for managing memory in a processing system are described whereby memory can be allocated among a plurality of elements and rules configured for each element such that the parallel execution of the spiking networks is most optimal.

A method for improving neural dynamics includes obtaining prototypical neuron dynamics. The method also includes modifying parameters of a neuron model so that the neuron model matches the prototypical neuron dynamics. The neuron dynamics comprise membrane voltages and/or spike timing.

Automated method for modifying neural dynamics

A method and apparatus for reducing HTTP header is provided. The method may include receiving a suppression identifier list, wherein the suppression identifier list associates header identifier values with at least a portion of one or more header content items in an HTTP header, replacing the one or more header content items with the corresponding header field identifier from the suppression identifier list, and transmitting the data packet with the one or more header field identifiers replacing the corresponding one or more header content items.

A communication system that allows a soft handoff to be completed, even when the communications link between the active base station and the mobile station deteriorates before the mobile station has received the handoff direction message. The mobile station maintains a list of base stations that the mobile station is in communication with, referred to as an 'Active Set'. In addition, the mobile station maintains another list of base stations that are proximate to the base stations in the active set. This list is referred to as the 'Neighbor Set'. In accordance with the disclosed method and apparatus, the mobile station places a base station in the active set upon including the base station in a pilot strength measurement message (PSMM). The mobile station monitors transmissions from all of the base stations on the active set to receive a handoff direction message (HDM).

A system and method for performing base station initiated call setup is provided. A base station initiated call setup may be utilized to establish a test call, to deliver a packet data services call to a subscriber unit, or to reactivate a dormant packet call. The base station transmits a BS Service Request message to the mobile switching center, requesting initiation of the call. The mobile switching center will authorize the call if the call to be set up is directed to a subscriber unit located within the service area of the base station and if the service option to be used is authorized for the particular subscriber unit. The mobile switching center will allow or disallow the call depending on the state of the subscriber unit. The mobile switching center transmits a BS Service Response message to the base station, conveying the result of processing the BS Service Request message. If the base station initiated call setup is authorized and allowed, the call will generally proceed in the same manner as a subscriber terminated call.

A mobile user terminalaccesses a packet data networkthrough one or more of several network access points-. One or more control points-determines which network access point or points the user terminal is to access. Control may be retained in the current control point, or transferred to another control point, whenever it is convenient. There are preferably several routers, each having an associated home agent-which determines which foreign agents need to be accessed on behalf of each user terminal. There are several foreign agents-, which forward packets received from a user terminal's home agent to the control point currently controlling communications with the user terminal.

In one disclosed embodiment, communication between a mobile unit and a base station is performed at a data transfer rate selected from, for example, a finite set of HDR data transfer rates. Meanwhile, the mobile unit continually computes a moving average of the data transfer rates. The mobile unit also ascertains a supportable data rate for receiving data. The supportable data rate can be selected from a finite set of HDR data transfer rates. In order to maintain the moving average of the data transfer rate within a specified range, the mobile unit transmits maximum data rate requests or null data requests to the base station. The maximum data rates requested by the mobile unit are equal to or lower than the supportable data rate.
