This event gives supercar lovers the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to drive the latest Lamborghinis alongside famed Lamborghini test driver Valentino Balboni. He was personally hired by Lamborghini founder Ferruccio Lamborghini in 1967 and sat at the wheel of every model and prototype produced by the brand for the past four decades. The course runs through more than 150 miles of New York and New Jersey highways and back roads. I recently had the opportunity to participate in the event, now in its fourth run, to get a firsthand feel for things. Bottom line: It's the most exhilarating behind-the-wheel experience I've ever had.The annual event runs over three days, so pick the one that's most convenient for you, and as long as it's not filled up, you'll be ready to hit the highway in a gang of Lamborghinis. The Tour consists of a meet-and-greet and a four-hour driving session, allowing fans the chance to spend time with Balboni as well as pilot several of the newest Lamborghini models, from Gallardo Coupes and Spyders to Murciélagos, in runs of 30 minutes each.

UTAU CV INTO VCV EXPERIMENT - TEST UTAUs NEEDEDUTAU CV INTO VCV EXPERIMENT - TEST UTAUs NEEDED1 year ago in Other More Like This
I figured out a way to turn CV banks into full VCV banks! Without any new recordings! Even the vowel strings don't need to be recorded.
I'm only taking one CV UTAUloid to be my test subject. It may take a while(less than a month and a half) but I can turn your CV into a VCV.
For FREE! All you have to do is submit the forum below to enter.
A few requirements though,
1. Please no multi-pitch banks, if you want to submit one I'll only do one of the pitches (you specify)
2. Please have decent UTAU voice quality..
3. The bank can't have an existing VCV version. Example; "My utau's name is Hito Riaru, She already has a VCV bank and a CV bank so I shouldn't enter."
Please submit this information (either by note or comment) if you'd like to enter in a chance to turn your CV bank into a VCV bank.

Do you want a completed oto or do you want to oto it yourself?
Ahem, the winner is...

in which we meet Anna Beth, knife-guy as WB Yeats in Disguise,
and Honey Boo-Boo who is immune to zombie attacks.
It always came down to choices, and if Anna Beth had chosen to squish herself into the half a seat not occupied by the left buttock of the rotund woman in front of her, she would not be in this situation. Anna's eyes darted around the train's interior as the hooded man behind her shoved the knife deeper into her back. He twisted the knife screaming insanely "Welcome to hell - you whore," wiping away the blood that splashed back into his forehead. Anna Beth was grateful her attacker had no idea the knife he used was like a pinprick in her seat partner's left buttock, a woman who never registered either the knife or the man.
The passengers continued looking in front of them, ignoring the psychotic man that only Anna seemed to notice. None on the bus wanted to draw the man's attention or knife towards them. But it was the last stop, a

We had a great time chilling out and everything works well on the RV. After a good nights sleep we left the RV site around 12 noon and headed home, stopping at the Napa sign for a bit to eat and a few photos.
All in all, a successful trial run.

We decided that a car would get us out of the city and give us freedom that a bus tour wouldn't. How cool when we were given a new dodge to drive.

This advertisement uses a syllogism (that has many fallacies) to sell cigarettes. The advertisement implies that the social status and appearance of women is what makes them the 'best' or not. The word 'rich' is used to describe women in terms of wealth, but it describes cigarettes in terms of their content, making this advertisement more sexist.

Oh that's right, back then it was too masculine for a woman to do physical work out of the home since we are so delicate and prone to illness (bullcrap!)
Well they used to treat ailments with leeches, so I guess it's no surprise people would voluntarily consume tapeworms in order to get thin! EW!!!

N.C. one of only two states to charge 16- and 17-year-olds as adults
This past Tuesday morning, Rep. Marilyn Avila (R-Wake) announced the introduction of HB399, the Young Offenders Rehabilitation Act. This legislation would raise the age of juvenile jurisdiction, so that 16- and 17-year-olds who commit misdemeanors are handled in the juvenile system, not the adult criminal justice system. According to Rep. Avila, the lead bill sponsor, 'raising the age' is a win for our families, communities, and state finances.
"Raising the age of juvenile jurisdiction will lead to both significant fiscal savings, safer communities, and much better outcomes for children," stated Rep. Avila. "That's why a strong bipartisan majority of House members voted to approve the bill last year."
During the 2013-2014 legislative session, "Raise the Age" legislation overwhelmingly passed the House of Representatives, but failed to receive a hearing in the Senate.

Communication systems, such as wireless systems are designed to meet various demands of subscribers. Service providers continuously seek ways to improve the overall performance of the communication system. As wireless communications become more and more popular for subscribers to obtain data (e.g., e-mail or information from the internet), communication systems should be capable of a higher throughput and be tightly controlled to maintain a high quality of service. Communication is conducted according to any desired communications standard, such as the Universal Mobile Telecommunications Standard (UMTS) or a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) standard.
Wireless communication systems typically include a plurality of base stations that are positioned to serve particular geographic regions or cells. A scheduler at the base station selects a user for transmission at a given time, and adaptive modulation and coding allows selection of an appropriate transport format (modulation and coding) for the current channel conditions seen by the user. There are two directions of signal flow in such systems. The base station transmits to a mobile station on a downlink. The mobile station transmits to the base station on an uplink.
A base station uses a known technique for determining whether communications in the uplink direction are working satisfactorily. A checksum value, which typically is included at the end of a transmitted frame, provides an indication of whether uplink transmissions are being received successfully.
If the received checksum does not match an expected value, this results in a checksum error. Because the base station has no indication of whether an uplink transmission occurred during a particular frame, the base station has no way of discerning between the possible causes of a checksum error. One possible cause of a checksum error is a transmitted frame that became garbled during transmission because of poor channel conditions. In other words, the mobile device tried to transmit a frame but the frame was not received correctly by the base station. This cause is called an "erasure."
Another possible cause of a checksum error is when the mobile device chose not to send a frame at all. This cause is called a "discontinuous transmission" (DTX). This may occur if, for example, the mobile device did not have any data to send to the base station for a particular frame or set of frames. Some communications standards allow for mobile stations to independently decide, on a frame-by-frame basis, whether to send a data packet within a frame. At times, such as during transmitting supplemental channels or digital control channels, the mobile station will not send anything within one or more frames. The mobile device typically does not notify the base station whether it has sent symbols making up a particular frame. Instead, the base station decodes each frame assuming that the mobile device is continuously sending frames. Therefore, when the mobile station intentionally does not send any data during a frame (e.g., there is a DTX on the uplink), the base station typically should detect a checksum error.
Checksum errors are useful for controlling power transmissions, for example. If an erasure occurs, the base station typically notifies the mobile station to increase power during subsequent transmissions to avoid further erasures. If the checksum error resulted from an erasure, the increase in power on the uplink will usually prove useful to avoid subsequent erasures assuming channel conditions are otherwise favorable. If the checksum error occurred because of a DTX on the other hand, increasing power at the mobile station may be detrimental. Unnecessarily increasing power on the uplink introduces possible interference, for example. Additionally, a series of DTX's may result in repeatedly attempting to increase power on the uplink that will exceed limits imposed by the system configuration. Therefore, it is necessary to be able to determine whether an erasure occurred or there was a DTX to determine whether corrective action, such as adjusting the transmission power on the uplink is necessary.
Various proposals have been made regarding DTX detection. One known DTX detection algorithm is based on symbol error rates. This approach is used for convolutional codes and involves re-encoding estimated data bits generated by the convolutional decoder to generate estimated symbols and then comparing the estimated data symbols with the actual received symbols to compute the number of symbol errors. If there are many errors, the base station assumes that the mobile device did not send any symbols (e.g., a DTX case). If there are fewer errors, the base station assumes that the mobile device did send symbols and that the base station failed to decode them correctly back into the original data bits (e.g., an erasure).
Histograms of the respective symbol error rates of DTX cases and erasure cases provide a guide as to the threshold at which DTX cases can be distinguished from erasure cases. Ideally, these histograms are clearly separated, with symbol error rates above the threshold corresponding to a DTX case and symbol error rates below the threshold corresponding to the erasure case. However, there is usually some overlap where a given symbol error rate does not clearly indicate an erasure case or a DTX case. This overlap makes it possible to mistakenly identify a DTX case as an erasure or vice versa. This is one example situation where choosing a threshold for distinguishing between DTX's and erasures is important. Moreover, as channel conditions change or a mobile station transmits more discontinuously than previously, the threshold between the histogram distribution of erasures and DTX's needs to change or the results become skewed.
Another DTX detection approach measures the pilot energy and classifies a checksum error as being caused by an erasure if channel conditions are poor as indicated by a low measured pilot energy. The logic behind this approach is that erasures tend to occur during these conditions. However, pilot energies can be low during DTX's also, which creates a high probability of misclassifying a DTX case as an erasure.
Yet another DTX detection approach sums the absolute values of the symbols in the transmitted frame and compares this sum with a threshold value. Because no symbols are transmitted during a DTX case, the sum would theoretically indicate an erasure case if it exceeds a given threshold. However, the sum is sensitive to channel conditions, causing a large overlap between values corresponding t DTX cases and erasure cases.
The performance of a DTX algorithm is measured by the probability that the algorithm will misclassify an erasure as a DTX (referred to as P(D/E) or missed detection) and the probability that it will misclassify a DTX as an erasure (referred to as P(E/D) or false detection). Therefore, it is important to use reliable criteria for distinguishing between them. Regardless of the detection technique, there should be a reliable technique for setting a threshold to distinguish between DTX's and erasures.
The nature of the links used in wireless communication systems and the distribution of DTX's and erasures within a given time period do not allow for simple threshold setting. For example, channel conditions can vary widely over time within a cell and even more from cell to cell. Another significant factor affecting the ability to determine a useful metric for determining whether an error corresponds to a DTX is a speed with which a mobile station moves. Different mobile station speeds ideally require different thresholds for distinguishing between erasures and DTX's. It is not possible to set a one-time threshold, for example, that will provide reliable results for an entire network or even a base station for an extended time. Simple averaging or filtering techniques, which would allow changing a threshold over time, do not provide useful results, for example, because such techniques are too sensitive to the number of actual erasures within a sampling of frames that are averaged or filtered.
This invention addresses the need for establishing reliable thresholds for distinguishing between erasures and DTX's.
This invention provides an adaptively set threshold for distinguishing between a DTX and an erasure. The threshold setting technique of the disclosed example utilizes information regarding recently received frames so that it is adaptive to actual conditions but is relatively immune to the number of erasures within the recently received frames such that the threshold is not undesirably skewed in a manner that otherwise would interfere with accurately distinguishing a DTX from an erasure.
An exemplary disclosed method of communicating includes adaptively determining a threshold for distinguishing between a DTX and an erasure based on at least one determined guideline value from a histogram of a sample set of recently received frames.
One example includes determining a good frame threshold guideline value and a bad frame threshold guideline value. Each guideline value in this example is based on a histogram of the respective type of frames within the sample set. One example method includes selecting the lesser of the good frame threshold guideline value or the bad frame threshold guideline value and using that as the threshold for distinguishing a DTX from an erasure.
A disclosed example includes arranging the sample set into a plurality of bins that facilitate simulating a sort of the sample set to estimate a median value of the histogram, which provides an indication of the threshold.
The various features and advantages of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description. The drawing that accompanies the detailed description can be briefly described as follows.
This invention provides a technique for adaptively setting a threshold that is useful to distinguish DTX's from erasures. A disclosed example embodiment includes using histogram distribution information to derive a set of values that provide an indication of a threshold based upon the good frames within a sample set on the one hand and a threshold based upon the bad frames within the sample set on the other hand. The term "good frame" is used in this description to refer to frames that are processed without any discernible error. The term "bad frame" is used in this description to refer to frames associated with a checksum error, for example (e.g., erasures and DTX's). The disclosed example includes choosing the least of the good frame threshold and the bad frame threshold as the threshold for distinguishing between DTX's and erasures. One example includes considering a sample set of the most recent 50 frames to set a threshold for the next 10 frames.
There are several advantages to the disclosed example. One advantage is that the threshold is adaptively set based upon actual communication activity without being adversely impacted or skewed by the number of erasures in a sampling set of frames. Bad frames, as that phrase is used in this description, refer to DTX's and erasures. The disclosed example includes using an estimated median value of a histogram of the bad frames, which is relatively insensitive to the number of erasures within the bad frames of a sample set.
With a normalized metric or filter based approach, by contrast, a few erasures within the bad frames tends to skew the threshold too high. This occurs, in part, because a normalized approach assigns a higher value to an erasure by design. Target error rates (e.g., 5%) typically are satisfied in most communication systems and the number of erasures are relatively low compared to DTX bad frames. This is why a higher value is associated with erasures by design. The problem occurs when the higher values associated with the erasures get averaged into the final result.
The disclosed example is also insensitive to having a number of very high energy good frames. A filter based approach can be unduly influenced by a few good frames sent under very good channel conditions with high energy. The resulting high normalized DTX value cause an associated threshold to be higher than desirable (e.g., a threshold that is too high increases the possibility for falsely identifying erasures as DTX's). The disclosed example essentially facilitates setting a threshold based on the energy levels of frames that barely have enough energy to qualify as good frames (e.g., to be properly received and successfully decoded). Using such a value is a good starting point for establishing a proper threshold value.
Another advantage is the ability to control performance over a full mix of good frames and bad frames in a sample set. For example, when there are a small number of bad frames, the variance of the estimated median value of the bad frame histogram will be large. The disclosed example includes using a higher percentile value from the histogram (e.g., be more conservative in view of the small number of bad frames) to adjust for the increased variance.
Another advantage to the adaptive approach of the disclosed example is that it truly changes with changing channel conditions. Utilizing a limited sample set of recently received frames for setting a threshold that is used for a smaller set of future received frames allows for eliminating any effect from what transpired more than a short time ago (e.g., one second) when setting a new threshold. A filter based approach, on the other hand, has some memory of the distant past, which reduces the responsiveness of such threshold setting techniques.

The example base station 22 includes a power management module 30. One feature of the power management module 30 is a detector 32 that uses a selected, known technique (e.g., a checksum approach) for monitoring what is received at the base station 22 for purposes of determining which of the received frames are good frames and which are bad frames. The actual technique used by the detector 32 may be any one that is suitable for a particular situation.
A threshold setting module 34 adaptively provides a threshold that is useful to the detector 32 for distinguishing between a bad frame that is an erasure and one that is a DTX. The example threshold setting module 34 uses the energy levels or DTX metrics of each type of frame from a sample set of recently received frames for setting a threshold used by the detector 32 for an ensuing set of incoming frames.
For purposes of discussion, a sample set of 50 recently received frames (e.g., the frames received in the most recent second) is used to set a threshold that will be used for the next 10 to-be-received frames (e.g., for the next 200 milliseconds). This discussion focuses on an example sample set that includes 15 bad frames and 35 good frames.
Referring again to
In the example of
The schematically illustrated modules may comprise software, hardware, firmware, custom circuits, microprocessors or a combination of these. Given this description, those skilled in the art will be able to select or design appropriate modules to perform the functions of the example modules in a manner that will meet their particular needs.
Considering the bad frame threshold determining module (BFTDM) 38 first, a bad frame threshold guideline value is based on the energy values of the received bad frames within a sample set. This example includes using a circular buffer to store the last second of (up to 50) DTX metrics corresponding to bad CRC frames. The BFTDM 38 begins by finding the lowest and highest valued elements in the circular buffer and designates them LowElement and HighElement, respectively. The BFTDM 38 also determines the number of bad frames in the circular buffer (0 through 50 inclusive) and designates that number NumBadFrames. Next, the BFTDM 38 establishes a plurality of bins within which the sample set of frames are placed based upon their respective DTX metrics. In this example, the BFTDM 38 uses the LowElement and HighElement values and a number of bins to establish a BinSize, which essentially evenly divides up the same set range into equally sized bins. For discussion purposes, this example includes 32 bins and the relationship BinSize=ceiling(HighElement−LowElement)/(NumBins−1) establishes the size of each bin. The bins in one example all have the same size. In some situations, where there are no bad frames or the LowElement=HighElement, then BinSize is set to a low, nonzero number.
The BFTDM 38 then rounds BinSize up to the next highest power of 2. This allows for subsequent divides by BinSize to be implemented with bit shifts in some example implementations of the disclosed threshold setting approach. In some examples, performance may be better if BinSize is not rounded up. Those skilled in the art who have the benefit of this description will be able to select between the two alternatives to meet their particular needs.
Next, the BFTDM sets several values as follows:
and Histogram(0:NumBins−1)=0.
Once these steps are complete, the BFTDM 38 goes through the circular buffer again to establish a bad frame histogram. One example includes doing the following for each element in the sample set.
Now that the bad frame histogram has been determined, the BFTDM 38 determines a bad frame threshold guideline value based upon selected frame or bin values from the sample set. Ideally, a pure sort would be used to locate the median value of the bad frame histogram but that is not computationally feasible in many situations. This example includes using information from the bins that have been set up and an expected relationship between the bin contents and the median value of the bad frame histogram to determine the bad frame threshold guideline value.
This example includes determining a value of a high element number, a low element number and a bad frame element number. The high and low numbers are defined by the following relationships:
The above decision arrays provide an indication of which frame value from the sample set should be used for setting the low and high numbers, respectively. In the example where there are 15 bad frames in the sample set, the frame value of the frame corresponding to the 15th entry in the BadFrameElementNumberLowa decision array (e.g., bad frame 02) is used for determining BadFrameElementNumberLow. Similarly, the value for BadFrameElementNumberHigh is based on the frame value corresponding to the 15th entry in the BadFrameElementNumberHigha decision array. In this example, the 15th entry corresponds to 13th bad frame from the sample set.
If there were 20 bad frames in the sample set, the frames used for the low and high numbers would be the 2nd and 18th frames, respectively, for example. If there were 40 bad frames, then bad frame 08 would be used to determine the low number and bad frame 29 would be used to determine the high number.
The decision arrays shown above were determined in one example by simulation. Another example includes decision arrays developed from empirical analysis of observed actual data. Those skilled in the art who have the benefit of this description will realize whether the values in the example decision arrays will work well for their particular situation or whether they may wish to develop arrays having different entries to better suit their needs.
The BFTDM 38 also determines another number as a basis for determining the bad frame threshold guideline value. In this example, that number is BadFrameElementNumber. When there are at least 10 frames in the circular buffer (e.g., the sample set contains at least 10 frames), BadFrameElementNumber is determined based on the relationship:
In this example, there are 15 bad frames and the 15th entry in the decision array BadFrameElementNumbera indicates that the 10th bad frame should be used for determining the value of BadFrameElementNumber.
To accommodate start up conditions or times when there are 10 or less frames in the sample set contained in the circular buffer, one example includes using special decision arrays for determining the values of BadFrameElementNumber, BadFrameElementNumberLow and BadFrameElementNumberHigh:
BadFrameStartupElementNumberLowa=[0 0 0 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2];
BadFrameStartupElementNumberHigha=[0 0 0 3 4 5 6 6 6 8 9];
BadFrameStartupElementNumbera=[0 0 0 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 5].
For situations, where there are no frames in the sample set, another threshold setting approach can be used.
Once the three frame numbers have been identified, the BFTDM 38 goes through the bad frame histogram to determine which bins BadFrameElementNumber, BadFrameElementNumberLow, and BadFrameElement NumberHigh are in, respectively. In this example, BadFrameElementNumber=10 and the BFTDM 38 determines which bin contains the 10th lowest element from the sample set in the circular buffer. The appropriate identified bins are designated BadFrameBinNumber, BadFrameLowBinNumber, and BadFrameHighBinNumber in this example.
The BFTDM 38 next determines threshold adjusting factors based on a width of the bad frame histogram. A wider histogram usually indicates a higher threshold is appropriate. The adjusting factors help to ensure setting the threshold accordingly. This example includes using a linear function of the width of the bad frame histogram, called BadFrame2DtxFactor, which is determined using the following relationships:
where BadFrameFactorYOffset and BadFrameFactorSlope8 are constants selected based on simulation or empirical analysis of actual conditions. Example values for these constants and others used in this example are provided in Table 1 below.
It is desirable to keep BadFrame2DtxFactor from getting too high so this example includes using the relationship:
BadFrame2DtxFactor=min(BadFrame2DtxFactor, MaxBadFrame2DtxFactor),
which keeps it below the value of MaxBadFrame2DtxFactor, which is a constant having a value as shown in Table 1 below, for example. Basically, the BFTDM 38 places a limit on the possible value of BadFrame2DtxFactor according to the preselected maximum value.
Then the BFTDM 38 determines the bad frame threshold guideline value from:
The effect of multiplying BinSize by the sum of LowBinQuantValue+BadFrameBinNumber and adding the adjusting factor to account for the width of the bad frame histogram is to convert the bin number containing the appropriate frame element into a frame energy value, which indicates a possible threshold for distinguishing between a DTX and an erasure.
If BadFrameElement=0, then the BFTDM 38 sets BadFrameThreshold to a preselected high number that essentially renders BadFrameThreshold ineffective at influencing the resulting threshold because the power control module ultimately determines the threshold in this example by determining which guideline value is the lowest and sets the threshold equal to that value.
The value of BadFrameThreshold provides one guideline value for setting the threshold used by the power control module for classifying a bad frame as a DTX or an erasure so that appropriate power control can be implemented, for example.
A good frame threshold module GFTDM 36 determines a good frame threshold guideline value. This example includes finding the lowest valued element (LowElement) in the sample set and the highest valued element (HighElement) in the sample set and determining the number of good frames (NumGoodFrames) in the sample set (e.g., the contents of the circular buffer mentioned above). The BFTDM 38 will use a similar histogram-based approach as that described above for the bad frames. BinSize is set as described above. In this example, the good frame histogram, is determined using:
for each element in the sample set.
The GFTDM 36 determines a set of numbers used to determine the good frame threshold guideline value using some of the same techniques that are used by the BFTDM 38 for determining the bad frame threshold guideline value. Some of the techniques used for the good frames are parallel to or the same as those described above and, therefore, will not be elaborated on below to the same extent. The following discussion will emphasize how determining the good frame threshold guideline value is different from determining the bad frame threshold guideline value described above.
If there are no frames in the sample set, another threshold setting algorithm may be used. If there are 10 frames in the sample set (e.g., a start up condition), then special decision arrays are used as follows:
Whenever there are 10 or more frames in the circular buffer, the following relationships and decision arrays are used by the GFTDM 36:
and, for all cases (including start up),
In this example, there are 35 good frames so GoodFrameElementArrayNumber=09, GoodFrameArrayNumberLow=11, GoodFrameArrayNumberHigh=23 and GoodFrameArrayNumberMed=18. If there were 49 good frames, then GoodFrameElementArrayNumber=11, GoodFrameArrayNumberLow=16, GoodFrameArrayNumberHigh=33 and GoodFrameArrayNumberMed=25.
In the event that GoodFrameElementArrayNumber=0, that is an indication that there are hardly any good frames and it is desirable to avoid using them for setting the threshold for distinguishing between a DTX and an erasure. Therefore, this example includes setting the good frame threshold guideline value GoodFrameThreshold to a very high number, which renders it ineffective at influencing the threshold for classifying the bad frames.
Otherwise, the GFTDM 36 proceeds through the good frame histogram to determine which bin GoodFrameElementArrayNumber is in and designates that bin as GoodFrameElementBinNumber. Then the GFTDM approximates the value of the selected element from the decision array by determining:
The GFTDM 36 then determines GoodFrameNumberLow, GoodFrameNumberMed, and GoodFrameNumberHigh from GoodFrameArrayNumberLow, GoodFrameArrayNumberMed, and GoodFrameArrayNumberHigh in a similar manner. In this example, Low<=Med<=High, so that these three numbers can be computed with one pass through the good frame histogram.
The GFTDM 36 then proceeds toward determining GoodFrameThreshold by using GoodFrameElement as a starting point and multiplying that by a function of the high, medium and low values determined above. Determining the function in this example includes estimating a width of the good frame histogram and normalizing that width as a percentage of the values within the histogram. Then GoodFrameThreshold is modified to keep it within reasonable limits and to account for an influence that may be caused by the number of bad frames in the sample set.
In one example, the following relationship provides an estimate of the width of the good frame histogram:
Then the GFTDM 36 normalizes that using:
The GFTDM 36 then determines a scaling factor based on the normalized histogram width using the following relationships:
GoodFrame2DtxFactor10=min(GoodFrame2DtxFactor10, GoodFrameYMax10),
GoodFrame2DtxFactor10=max(GoodFrame2DtxFactor10, GoodFrameYMin10).
The guideline value of GoodFrameThreshold in this example is then preliminarily determined using:
That value may be used as the guideline value provided by the GFTDM 36 for some situations. This example includes some additional modifications to account for possible undesirable effects from a high frame error rate, for example. The value of GoodFrameThreshold in this example is adjusted using the following relationships:
If (NumBadFrames>=15)&
One more adjustment, which includes using a weighted average in this example, helps to prevent the previous adjustment from making GoodFrameThreshold too high:
The threshold setting module 34 then determines the value of the threshold used for distinguishing a DTX from an erasure from the guideline values for example, helps to prevent the previous adjustment from making GoodFrameThreshold and example, helps to prevent the previous adjustment from making BadFrameThreshold. In this example, the guideline value that is lower becomes the threshold used by the detector 32.
The above example includes using a number of constants. Those will vary depending on the particular application of the above technique. The code rate and the target probabilities of properly classifying bad frames will control the selection of values for the constants. Table 1 provides example constant values for a 19.2 Kbit code rate and two different target probabilities, which are designed to keep errors in classifying bad frames as erasures or DTX's less than about 0.1%.

As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the disclosed example provides an adaptive approach to setting a threshold for distinguishing between DTX's and erasures that is more reliable and accurate than other techniques that are undesirably influenced by the number of erasures and number of high power good frames within a sample set. The disclosed example uses a histogram-based approach and a simulated sort of the histogram to provide guideline values that are used to determine the appropriate threshold for error detection in subsequently received frames.
The preceding description is exemplary rather than limiting in nature. Variations and modifications to the disclosed examples may become apparent to those skilled in the art that do not necessarily depart from the essence of this invention.

This cabin is a complete gem!!! Beautiful, well appointed, fantastic art and an unbelievable setting in the woods. From the back bedroom one can here the stream cascading over little rocks. Conveniently situated and yet totally private! I would recommend to anyone!!!! We are planning to stay there again in the spring

Fantastic Stay

My wife and I rented this cabin for 4 nights over Labor Day weekend. The rental process was seamless, the owner is incredibly friendly and helpful, and the cabin is wonderful. Very clean and well-kept, chock-full of wonderful art, and located in a gorgeous setting. Extremely good location for exploring the surrounding area. We visited Kingston, Saugerties, Woodstock, and went floating down the Esopus in Phoenicia. We would not hesitate to stay here again and are recommending it to our friends. Had such a great time we were sorry to leave.

Great Getaway

Great long weekend getaway. The house is cozy and clean and the view and sound of the creek in the back make it peaceful. We spend most of our days at a local water hole where we could swim along with our fun loving dog and stayed in and cooked meals in the evening. We enjoyed a visit to Woodstock for an afternoon which is only 10 minutes away by car. If you love to bring your dog with you on vacation then this is a great place to come.

Since before making it to the cabin the owner Jon was super friendly, he answered all of our questions promptly and facilitated our stay with multiple choices of near by attractions and things to do around the property, also the cabin exceeded our expectations and we had an amazing time !

Comfortable family cottage, well supplied and nicely laid out with different areas to relax. Amazing woods and wildlife just there and close to Woodstock (no parking problems ever!) and local hikes plus excellent local riding school with kids camp!

Great family getaway
July 6, 2015
We just came back from a long weekend in the cabin over the 4th of July holiday. The cabin was very clean, cozy and a good mix of rustic and modern. Our restless 2.5 year old toddler had a great time playing at the creek, picking sticks and stones, and chasing butterflies. Our 6 month old baby was very excited just watching her brother run around and also took quite an interest in the artwork around the house. It was great to have such privacy and enjoy nature at the same time have the option of tv and good wifi. We managed to get skype calls from relatives from different parts of the world who got to admire the cabin as well. We enjoyed going to the town, both Woodstock and Saugerties, and enjoyed Garden Cafe and Oriole 9. Trekked to the Freeman Falls and got to see the parade at Saugerties. We felt we had really full days and enjoyed coming back to cabin for dinner at the screened porch while my son built a fire each night with his papa. The owners were very responsive throughout and heartfelt thanks to them for letting us have family memories at a special place. We hope to come back in the very near future.

Just what we were looking for …
May 16, 2015
We could have gone anywhere for our 30th wedding anniversary but we decided that all we really needed was to be alone – to be able to enjoy each other's company. You never know what you're actually going to get but we really lucked out here. This place was exactly what we wanted. Nice and quiet. The property is secluded but close to town – but not walking distance. If you look closely at the pictures you'll notice that the cabin has two parts – old and new where the front door acts as a transition in the middle. So one bedroom, eating area, kitchen and screened in porch are from the original cabin – very rustic and the other half – another bedroom, bath and living room (including a fireplace) are all recently redone. The combination of the old and new makes it very charming. We hiked Overlook Mountain which was close by. A fairly easy hike with a fire tower and the remains of an old hotel. Very interesting. We didn't spend much time in Woodstock. Parking there is challenging. Didn't realize that hippies still existed - ;). Catskill Mountain Pizza was awesome but cash only. They sell growlers of Lagunitas btw – other than that, I do not think you can get good beer in town. The West Hurley Market has the best beer (IPA's) selection I've ever seen in a grocery store. It was one of our requirements that we be able to bring our dog. If you're pet less and concerned about a place that is "pet friendly" – no worries because it was immaculate. Everything you might reasonably need is there. The DVD is not Blu-ray and I'm not sure we connected to the internet or whether it was just slow – but we really didn't care – we ended up watching the cooking channel and loved it – never would do that at home. Thank you for sharing this family gem.

A Special Place
April 14, 2015
Let us join the chorus and reiterate that this is a very special place. The setting is beautiful (stream, forest, rock outcroppings), peaceful, and private. The location is great, less than 5 minutes from one of the best restaurants in the area and just a couple of more to downtown Woodstock. The cottage was wonderful: rustic but comfortable, with all of the basic modern amenities including a fully functional kitchen. We had an absolutely delightful weekend there. But beyond these physical features was the wonderful ambience (vibes, if you will) within the cottage. This has been in the family for a long time and obviously holds a lot of history, meaning, and fond memories for them. We felt fortunate to be able stay there and are very much looking forward to a return visit this fall. (I should also say that Jon has been a pleasure to work with in making these arrangements).

As we approached the cottage, I was so thrilled to see how secluded and lovely the cottage was. It only gets better! Inside the cottage is just lovely! Spacious rooms and a great kitchen to cook in. If you're looking for tranquility, look no further.

We absolutely loved this cottage. Unfortunately we were unable to rent it for our annual sisters trip this year. The place was utterly lovely. We hope it is available next year.

Wonderful Time!

The building is amazing and has a fascinating history. The owners thought of everything, and everything we forgot was right there when we needed it. Fireplace is beautiful, the land is jaw - droppingly beautiful: hemlock woods, trickling streams, and bluestone ledges everywhere.

Where do I begin? This was perfect for my family and two dogs to get away. We truly fell in love with woodstock and Jon's home. He was so nice and the communication was great! The pictures don't give the home the justice it deserves because it was so adorable. Half of the home was a cabin and the other half felt modern. The art around the home was enchanting and it was the perfect place for me to catch up on some drawing myself. I can't say one bad thing about our experience. It was lovely we made camp fires let the dogs run around, we rode our bikes along the roads and hiked up Over Look. Everything in the home was perfect and don't want to tell anyone about how wonderful it was because I don't want all the dates to be booked. (but I will)...Thanks so much for opening your doors to our family and will be booking in the near future!

Wonderful Experience
August 12, 2014
We had a wonderful week at this location. The setting was marvelous. There are beautiful woods surrounding the residence. There is a creek less than fifty feet from the front door that was great to sit by and relax. The birdlife was also fun to observe. The cottage itself was very comfortable. It has all the creature comforts but is also slightly rustic in a good way. There are plenty of windows so we felt surrounded by nature. The kitchen was sizeable, had all the promised appliances, and was fun to cook in. The screened porch allowed us to breathe the fresh air but still be sheltered. We lit a campfire in the fire pit provided which added to the enjoyment of our stay. The cottage is close enough to places to visit, including the town of Woodstock, but secluded enough to feel like we had enough privacy. The hiking nearby was great; Opus 40 Sculpture Gardens, restaurants, Buddhist monastery and other places were easily accessible. Also, we found communicating with the owner to be very efficient. We highly recommend this cottage.

Our stay was amazing. The cabin is charming, with all the amendities needed. Clean, welcoming and warm, briefly describe it. Our experience with the owner was very positive. We recommand this cabin to anyone who wishes to relax in a cozy house, surrounded by nature and peace.

Cozy escape
June 4, 2014
We had an absolutely wonderful time at your cabin. It is so cozy and beautiful we wanted to stay for the whole week! It was the perfect place for us to cook, eat and just chill out. We even watched a little TV - nice to have the sattelite there! The place itself is beautiful, the artwork and all the little sculptures and cool figures were so charming. The property can't be beat! We loved all the wildlife (lots of baby chipmunks that my friend from Ethiopia fell in love with) and were blissed out down by the stream. I stayed in the pretty bedroom that felt like a quaint country Inn and he stayed in the sleeping nook with the amazing woodland views and red curtains that created such a dreamy environment. The screened in porch was terrific. We will tell everyone we know about the place and will definitely be back if in the area again.
Owner's reply:
It's so nice to hear that you enjoyed chilling out at our cabin. It is such a great place to get out of the hustle and bustle!
I'm so pleased that you enjoyed my grandfather's art! We love showing it and feel that it helps make our place a home.
We also enjoy just being able to see so many stars in the night sky.
Thanks for your lovely review.

Paradise with a view
October 30, 2013
We just left the house less than a week ago and I cannot stop thinking about it...I can't wait to go back! Aside from the very clean and comfortable accommodations, the trees and nature around the house are what make it so special. It is very private, but very close to the heart of Woodstock, so you have the best of both worlds. If you love nature, this is a lovely place to stay. The cabin has a very peaceful calming vibe. On a practical note, my security deposit was returned within 2 days of my departure (and that is not always the case with other houses I've rented).

A retreat to unwind and relax

This was the first time I ever rented a property. Jon made it so easy. The house is as described and even better. It is clean and well equipped. The setting is secluded, peaceful and beautiful, yet 3 miles into Woodstock. Jon was so helpful as was his sister with recommendations for things to do in the area and places to eat. We are already talking about renting the cottage again. We just loved everything about it. Robert & Debbie

Fabulous Getaway!
June 12, 2013
This charming cottage escape was just what we needed! The sound of the stream and little waterfalls, the artistic touched in the cottage, warm and comfortable! Our host was very nice. The cottage was clean and well-appointed. We even had our two dogs with us, which we really appreciated. We'd go back in a minute! Close to "downtown" Woodstock, but far enough away to to escape.

Charming and quiet place to stay

We had a great 2 night stay in the Artist Cottage. Having a full kitchen with all the things we needed to cook our meals was a huge bonus. The artwork is fun and made the whole place seem homey! I recommend this place for small families or 2 couples.

Perfect getaway!

The owner was easy to work with and was quick to respond. The cabin was perfect for the two of us and our dog but could easily and comfortably fit another couple. The land was beautiful. We took short hikes on the property each morning with our coffee and dog. We also made a wood fire at night in the fire pit. The barbecue was in good working order and the kitchen had plenty of supplies for us. Owner was prompt to return my security deposit. Trully had a wonderful experience using the site and making the arrangements with the owner. Thank you again!

Very clean and accomodating. I would definitely stay here again. We made a fire one night and it was cozy. We didn't see much wildlife by the cabin. We thought we would have being that it was nestled in the woods away from the street and other homes.

Cabin in the woods
October 25, 2011
I enjoyed my stay in this lovely, secluded artist's cabin in the woods. I had breakfast every morning near the rolling stream that flows through the property, listened to birds and saw wildlife in the woods (i.e. deer, chipmunks). The cabin was cozy and had all amenities needed. The owners were very helpful. I would recommend this spot to anyone wanting peace, quiet and wanting to commune with nature.

Everything was great. Plenty of space outside, clean and cosy inside. Fully equipped kitchen so we were able to cook nice little meals. 5-10 min drive max to Woodstock. We had a wonderful time and will keep great memory of our few days there.

Warm & Welcoming
August 6, 2010
The cottage is warm and welcoming with all the comforts and necessities of home. The freshly cut flowers on the table were a special treat. The screened in porch is ideal for relaxing and communing with one another and nature. We enjoyed the seclusion of the property and the opportunity to view some wildlife right out the windows. The owners were very responsive and even lent us their membership pass for entry to the Opus 40. I will refer this cottage to family and friends.

Amazing little cottage!
October 12, 2009
We had a wonderful time in Woodstock. The one reason that we feel is most accountable for our good time was our accomodations. The cottage was wonderful. We spent as much time admiring the "Art Work" in the cottage as we did the surroundings of the property and other excursions. Whenever we return to Woodstock we will be sure to see if this cottage is still being rented.

More secluded, and beautiful than we imagined.
September 15, 2009
We spent an unforgettable week in this Woodstock cabin in Overlook Mountain. Spacious, scented with the cedar walls of part of the house, it has all the conveniences you could want and is only a few minutes from town down quiet country roads. We were sad to leave.
Very cozy
September 10, 2009
It's a cozy property with nice surroundings and the owner very friendly. I got what I was expecting.
We had a very romantic weekend at the cottage. Really enjoyed the private location and walking in the woods. Everything was very comfortable and we really enjoyed a big log fire each night. The art work in the cottage was lovely, so varied and interesting. Kitchen was well equipped and easy to use. Really enjoyed all the interesting sights in the village - spent way too much in all the stores! Would love to return for another weekend. Owners were very pleasant to work with - thanks!

Hierarchical tree graphs of over-represented GO terms for genes in the VioletWGCNA module. Hierarchical tree graphs of over-represented gene ontology (GO) terms for genes in the VioletWGCNA module were constructed using AgriGO [16]. Boxes in the graphs represent GO terms labelled by GO number, term definition and statistical information. The analysis was performed using less stringent parameters (adjusted P < 0.1 and ≥ 2 genes/term) than the default parameters. Significant terms are coloured. The degree of colour saturation of a box is positively correlated to the enrichment level of the term. Solid, dashed, and dotted lines represent two, one and zero enriched terms at both ends connected by the line, respectively. GO categories: (a) Biological Process; (b) Cellular Component.
