Abstract:
An image de-interlacing method comprises: (a) defining a first threshold value and a second threshold value, wherein the second threshold value is larger than the first threshold value; (b) generating a parameter according to motion level of a interlaced image; and (c) utilizing a first interpolation method and a second interpolation method to jointly process the interlaced image if the parameter is in a range between the first threshold value and the second threshold value.
Abstract:
A telescopic pneumatic device includes an outer cylinder, an inner cylinder disposed in the outer cylinder and having a cylinder wall defining a gas chamber, a piston mounted in the gas chamber, a piston rod connected to the piston, two flow passages formed in the cylinder wall, and a control valve operable to allow or interrupt fluid communication between a gas-controlling chamber section and a piston-receiving chamber section of the gas chamber. The inner cylinder is made of a rigid plastic material.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a magnetoresistive structure, for example useful as a spin-valve or GMR stack in a magnetic sensor, and a fabrication method thereof. The magnetoresistive structure uses twisted coupling to induce a perpendicular magnetization alignment between the free layer and the pinned layer. Ferromagnetic layers of the free and pinned layers are exchange-coupled using antiferromagnetic layers having substantially parallel exchange-biasing directions. Thus, embodiments can be realized that have antiferromagnetic layers formed of a same material and/or having a same blocking temperature. At least one of the free and pinned layers further includes a second ferromagnetic layer and an insulating layer, such as a NOL, between the two ferromagnetic layers. The insulating layer causes twisted coupling between the two ferromagnetic layers, rotating the magnetization direction of one 90 degrees relative to the magnetization direction of the other.
