Technology is disclosed herein for compressing, encoding, and otherwise reducing the size of resource files. In at least one implementation, similarity compression is employed to reduce the size of a resource file. In another implementation, map-less encoding is employed to reduce the number of bytes used to represent a resource string. Bit-level compression is employed in another implementation to reduce the quantity of bits used to encode each character in a string. In addition, implementations are disclosed related to technology for naming strings and accelerated string location and retrieval.

The invention relates to a invention relates to a method and decoding device for receiving an input bit-stream comprising a sequence of n-bit pattern symbols as well as a unique n-bit comma symbol for synchronization, and for generating therefrom a synchronized output comprising a sequence of m-bit pattern words, with m<n. The comma symbol allows detection of bit-skip in the input bit-stream, so that the output to be synchronized to compensate for the bit-skip. The decoding device and method of decoding are particularly simple and may be applied in devices, e.g. in a beam modulator array comprising a plurality of decoding devices, and/or in a lithography system comprising such a beam modulator array, in which space and computational resources are scarce while still providing a synchronization capability.

An approach is provided for managing a display of a keyword search result. First Document Object Model (DOM) element(s) in a web page DOM are identified as including DOM element(s) specifying first content that is relevant to the keyword. Second DOM element(s) in the DOM are identified as specifying second content that is irrelevant to the keyword. DOM element(s) are determined to specify paragraph(s) in the first content which were hidden from view as a result of a prior search of another keyword and based on the paragraph(s) not including the other keyword. The display of the result of the search is generated to include the first content and the paragraph(s) according to modified first attribute(s) of the DOM element(s) specifying the paragraph(s), and hide the second content from view, according to modified second attribute(s) of the second DOM element(s).

The present solution provides a signal processing device, including: an encoder which encodes second transmitting data by referring to first transmitting data which is previously transmitted and the second transmitting data which is a current transmitting target such that at least one bit signal of the second transmitting data has a binary level different from that of a corresponding bit signal of the first transmitting data; and a transmitter which sequentially transmits the first transmitting data and the second transmitting data.

In accordance with various example embodiments, a method of receiving a protocol in the receiver, wherein the legacy protocol includes non-biphase encoded information, decoding the legacy protocol using a biphase decoder to produce a detected code, and correlating the detected code with a known code to verify the non-biphase encoded information.

An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) includes a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that has a configurable capacitor array. Based on measurements of differential nonlinearity (DNL) and/or integral nonlinearity (INL) error by an external test computer system, an order for use of the DAC's capacitors can be determined so as to reduce DNL error aggregation, also called INL. The DAC includes a switch matrix that can be programmed by programming data supplied by the test computer system.

This invention relates to a system, method and computer program product for encoding an input string of binary characters including: a cellular data structure definition including a starting empty cell; one or more path definitions defining paths through the data structure; a character reading and writing engine for writing a binary character to an empty cell with a predefined initial position; a next cell determination engine for determining a next empty cell by methodically checking cells along one of the paths in the data structure until an empty cell is located; a loop facilitator for looping back to the writing next character step and the determining next cell step until there are no more data characters or a next empty cell is not determined; and a serialization deserialization engine for methodically serializing the data structure into a one dimensional binary string of characters representing an encoded string of alphanumeric characters.

A word mapping method is provided, based on a plurality of connections between a plurality of words as generated by an individual or group, the map being formed based on connections between words provided by an individual or individuals. The resultant word map may be used for various purposes including cognitive diagnoses, sentence structure optimization of documents, and the like.

Footnote detection is provided. When converting a fixed format document to a flow format document, footnotes, which may include a footnote description and a footnote reference mark, may be detected and linked with a corresponding footnote reference mark in a main document flow on a page. Additionally, a footnote numbering scheme may be determined and applied to detected footnotes. By providing footnote detection when converting a fixed format document to a flow format document, footnotes may be statically positioned at the end of a page containing the corresponding footnote reference mark.
