Abstract:
The present invention is an animatable 3D character with a skin surface and an internal skeleton and a production method thereof. 3D scanned data is used to generate an animatable 3D character, formed of a skin surface and an internal skeleton. The method includes using scanned data to generate a skin surface, generating the internal skeleton, and linking the skin surface with the internal skeleton and establishing an animation mechanism. The complete skin surface can be generated in a sequence from points to lines and then from lines to a surface based on the interrelation therebetween. Landmark extraction methods identify major body joints and end points of body segments that may influence motions. And these points are connected to form the internal skeleton. The skin surface is linked to the internal skeleton, so that while controlling the internal skeleton, the skin surface can be driven to generate motion.
Abstract:
A light source includes a light emitting diode (LED) module having a continuous substrate, a layer of n-type semiconductor material formed above the substrate, and a layer of p-type semiconductor material formed above the n-type semiconductor material. A p-n junction is formed between the p-type and n-type semiconductor materials. The p-type and n-type semiconductor materials are selected to emit light at the p-n junction when an electric current flows through the p-n junction. The LED module includes a plurality of electric contacts connected to the p-type semiconductor material, and at least one electric contact connected to the n-type semiconductor material. The electric contacts are configured to pass electric current through a plurality of regions in the p-n junction such that the plurality of regions have higher electric current densities and emit light brighter than areas outside of the plurality of regions.
Abstract:
In an H-ARQ system, when the AN is receiving packet data traffic on the RL from an AT and is generating ACKs and NAKs according to the ability of the AN to properly decode such data, the AN gates-off a DRCLock bit within in a sub-packet duration in which an ACK is transmitted on the FL MAC channel. When it receives an ACK, the AT ignores the non-transmitted DRCLock bit in a current sub-packet duration, and assumes that the DRC channel is “good”. When the AN sends a NAK to the AT, it also sends the DRCLock bit. When the AT receives a NAK in a sub-packet duration, it reads and processes whatever DRCLock bit is received during that sub-packet duration. When no data traffic is transmitted on the RL traffic channel, corresponding DRCLock bits are not gated-off by the AN and are transmitted to the AT. The AT then processes the received DRCLock bits. In an alternative embodiment, transmission of DRCLock is totally eliminated.

Abstract:
A phase shift mask comprises a transparent substrate having a patterned opaque material layer formed thereupon to form a non-transmissive region of the transparent substrate and an adjoining transmissive region of the transparent substrate. A pit is formed within the transmissive region of the transparent substrate. The pit has a stepped sidewall such as to provide the phase shift mask with enhanced optical performance. The phase shift mask may be fabricated employing a self aligned method.
Abstract:
In k31 mode, a vibration is along an axis or orthogonal to the poling or electric field orientation. The direction of vibration is toward a face of an ultrasound transducer array. For each element of the array, electrodes are formed perpendicular to the face of the array, such as along the sides of the elements. Piezoelectric material is poled along a dimension parallel with the face of the transducer and perpendicular to the direction of acoustic energy propagation. Using elements designed for k31 resonant mode operation may provide for a better electrical impedance match, such as where small elements sizes are provided for a multi-dimensional transducer arrays. For additional impedance matching, the elements may be made from multiple layers of piezoelectric ceramic. Since the elements operate from a k31 mode, the layers are stacked along the poling direction or perpendicular to a face of the transducer array for transmitting or receiving acoustical energy.

Abstract:
A scaling device for video displays includes a limited number of line buffers and produces stable output frames by using a stable clock source to produce the output image clock. The scaling device further includes an error counter for determining an error between an ideal output line length and an actual line length and an error accumulator for keeping a running total of all output line length errors. The error accumulator can signal when the total line error for a given frame is greater than one, indicating that an additional output point should be added to the blanking area of that output line.
