    Abstract: An interrupt rate limiter limits the rate of interrupt signals being transmitted from a first node to a second node of a computer system. In certain implementations, a first logic block compares an accumulator value to a threshold value to determine whether to (i) block an interrupt signal received from the first node from reaching the second node or (ii) allow the interrupt signal to reach the second node, an accumulator register stores the accumulator value, which is (i) increased whenever the first logic block allows an interrupt signal to reach the second node and (ii) otherwise periodically decreased, a summation node receives the accumulator value and one or more values that determine whether the accumulator value is to be increased or decreased, and a second logic block determines whether to increase or decrease the accumulator value based on whether an interrupt signal has been transmitted to the second processor.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to processing signals including data exhibiting characteristics that facilitate assessment of transmission errors. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, parameters are generated based signal transmission characteristics and are indicative of a different types of signal characteristics, including an amount of error correction that has been carried out on the signal. Two or more of the parameters are selected based on properties of signal disturbance under different reception conditions for the signal, and a degree of disturbance in the signal is predicted based on the selected parameters and signal conditions for the respective parameters at which the signal cannot be corrected. An output generated with the signal is then controlled, based on the predicted degree of disturbance and a threshold degree of disturbance.

    Abstract: A method of managing wirelessly transmitted use-data in a wireless data transmission environment, the method comprising: Receiving the wirelessly transmitted use-data by a first receiver and estimating a reception quality of the use-data received by the first receiver by applying a quality criterion. In case the reception quality meets the quality criterion, the method moreover comprises using a second receiver for background scanning the wireless data transmission environment, and in case the reception quality does not meet the quality criterion, the method moreover comprises using the second receiver additionally for reception of the use-data, thus providing both receivers for a diversity reception of the use-data.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided. A first buffer is configured to store a first packet stream, the first buffer comprising a first read pointer pointing to a first position in the first packet stream. A second buffer is configured to store a second packet stream. The second packet stream corresponds to the first packet stream and the second buffer comprises a second read pointer. A controller is configured to determine a second position in the second packet stream that corresponds to the first position in the first packet stream and adjust the second read pointer to point to the second position.

    Abstract: Aspects are directed to an amplifier circuit including a signal processing circuit and a calibration circuit. In certain specific embodiments, the signal processing circuit includes a signal combiner and a closed-loop feedback path, and the signal processing circuit is designed to provide a loop transfer function for a derived signal partly representing contributions from an audio input signal, a control or pilot signal having a target frequency range, and a calibration signal. The signal combiner is designed to combine aspects of the control or pilot signal and aspects of the audio input signal, and the calibration circuit is designed to adjust an effective gain of the derived signal in response to whether a unity-gain frequency of a signal in the closed-loop feedback path, as provided via the loop transfer function, is higher or lower than the target frequency range. Consistent therewith and in yet more specific embodiments, such an amplifier circuit can define the target frequency range relative to the transfer function and an associated unity-gain frequency.
