Abstract: Power consumption of an appliance under remote control is minimized. The appliance receives a wireless energy burst having a wireless magnetic resonating power coupling characteristic transmitted by a remote control device. The appliance is powered up from a powered-down state to a standby mode if the appliance is in the powered-down state when the wireless energy burst is received and the energy burst is of sufficient energy to activate a switched mode power supply of the appliance.

Abstract: A dispensing toothbrush includes a removable insert tooth paste tube for self application. This One for All design allows easy storage of tooth paste within the brush itself. It is simpler and different than other dispensing designs in that the tooth paste is not traveling through the length of a hollow tube to the bristles. The user simply unscrews the tube by twisting the cap off the bottom allowing self application. The user squeezes the flexing tube applying the toothpaste to the bristles. Storage of the toothpaste in the brush for subsequent self application is the major difference from other U.S. Patents. Again as in the other design, safety is a major concern with any dispensing toothbrush and this design allows for cleaning the brush the same as with any non-dispensing toothbrush.A twist cap is present at the bottom of the tooth brush for twisting and removing an internal tube that is full of toothpaste or toothpaste pellets. After twisting the cap, the tube is removed by dropping it out of the toothbrush. The tube containing toothpaste is then manipulated by finger force to apply the paste to the bristles or in the case of pellets one would be removed at a time for application, and finally the tube is returned by inserting it back into the toothbrush handle and twisting the cap back into place at the bottom of the toothbrush.

Abstract translation: 分配牙刷包括用于自身应用的可移除的插入牙膏管。 这一个为所有设计允许容易地存储牙膏在刷子本身。 它比其他分配设计更简单和不同，因为牙膏不会通过中空管的长度行进到刷毛。 用户只需将盖子从底部扭转就可以自动拧下管子，以便自行应用。 使用者将施加牙膏的弯曲管挤压到刷毛上。 将牙膏储存在刷子中以供后续自我使用是与其他美国专利的主要区别。 再次如在另一种设计中，安全性是任何分配牙刷的主要关注点，并且该设计允许与任何非分配牙刷一样清洁刷子。 在牙刷底部存在扭转帽，用于扭转和去除充满牙膏或牙膏颗粒的内管。 扭转盖子后，将管子从牙刷中取出。 然后通过手指力操作含有牙膏的管子以将糊剂施加到刷毛上，或者在颗粒的情况下，一次一个地将其取出，最后将管子通过将其插回到牙刷手柄中并扭转 盖子回到牙刷底部的位置。

Abstract: An optical sensor package has a transparent substrate with a redistribution layer formed on a face thereof, which includes a window and a plurality of electrically conductive traces. A semiconductor substrate, including an optical sensor and a plurality of contact terminals on a face thereof, is positioned on the transparent substrate in a face-to-face arrangement, with the optical sensor directly opposite the window, and with each of the contact terminals electrically coupled to a respective one of the electrically conductive terminals. The transparent substrate has larger overall dimensions than the semiconductor substrate, so that one or more edges of the transparent substrate extend beyond the corresponding edges of the semiconductor substrate. A plurality of solder balls are positioned on the face of the transparent substrate, each in electrical contact with a respective one of the electrically conductive terminals. The solder balls and the semiconductor substrate are at least partially encapsulated in an encapsulating layer formed on the face of the transparent substrate, which has been planarized to expose upper portions of the solder balls, as contact pads of the optical sensor package.

Abstract: An analog switch configuration includes a gate control circuit coupled between an input of a switch and a gate of the switch. The gate control circuit passes voltage changes on the input of the switch to the gate of the switch to decrease the influence the inherent gate to input capacitance has on the bandwidth of the switch. By reducing the change in voltage across the inherent capacitance, the current through the capacitance in decreased as well as its influence on the bandwidth of the configuration.

Abstract: A time-domain method of adaptively levelling the loudness of a digital audio signal is proposed. It selects a proper frequency weighting curve to relate the volume level to the human auditory system. The audio signal is segmented into frames of a suitable duration for content analysis. Each frame is classified to one of several predefined states and events of perceptual interest is detected. Four quantities are updated each frame according to the classified state and detected event to keep track of the signal. One quantity measures the long-term loudness and is the main criterion for state classification of a frame. The second quantity is the short-term loudness that is mainly used for deriving the target gain. The third quantity measures the low-level loudness when the signal is deemed to not contain important content, giving a reasonable estimate of noise floor. A fourth quantity measures the peak loudness level that is used to simulate the temporal masking effect. The target gain to maintain the audio signal to the desired loudness level is calculated by a volume leveller, regulated by a gain controller that simulates the temporal masking effect to get rid of unnecessary gain fluctuations, ensuring a pleasant sound.

Abstract translation: 提出了一种自适应调平数字音频信号响度的时域方法。 它选择适当的频率加权曲线来将音量与人体听觉系统相关联。 音频信号被分割成适合持续时间以进行内容分析的帧。 每个帧被分类为几个预定义的状态之一，并且检测到感知感兴趣的事件。 根据分类的状态和检测到的事件，每帧更新四个量来跟踪信号。 一个量度衡量长期响度，是框架状态分类的主要标准。 第二个数量是主要用于导出目标增益的短期响度。 当信号被认为不包含重要内容时，第三个数量测量低级响度，给出合理的噪声估计值。 第四个数量测量用于模拟时间屏蔽效果的峰值响度水平。 将音频信号保持到所需响度水平的目标增益由音量调节器计算，音量调节器由增益控制器调节，该增益控制器模拟时间屏蔽效果，以消除不必要的增益波动，确保愉悦的声音。

Abstract: In a process for enhancing contrast of an image having pixels in different brightness intensities, a histogram in discrete bins is generated. Each bin represents a pixel population of at least one pixel brightness intensity. A peak and a peak region of the histogram is then identified, wherein the peak region is a range of discrete bins around the peak. An average pixel population within the peak region is computed, and the pixel populations of the discrete bins within the peak region that exceeds the average pixel population are distributed. A transfer curve for mapping onto the image is then generated. The process can be used in an image processor for enhancing contrast of an image having pixel. Still further, a display having a receiver and a screen can include the foregoing image processor.
