For the reception of TCM modulated signals a receiver is used which comprises two cascaded Viterbi decoders (1, 2). The first decoder (1) operates according to a soft output Viterbi algorithm (SOVA), and its output comprises a hard decision on the transmitted symbols as well as a reliability parameter. The output of the first decoder (1), which is intended essentially to take into account the memo...

A fast crash safe method and apparatus for enforcing mutually exclusive access to shared resources in a computer system through the use of semaphores. The acquisition and release of the semaphores is implemented at the user process level. An overestimate and underestimate of semaphore ownership are maintained in memory by library provided semaphore acquisition and release code. A cleanup routine r...
