Moreover, each storage module has a falling edge-triggered register and a rising edge-triggered register, and each storage module receives a serial data in response to the rising edge of clock and the falling edge of clock. Furthermore, the enabling controller is connected with each storage module for enabling each storage module by sequence turns in response to the trigger of the rising edge of clock.
Abstract:
A differential signal modulating apparatus and method thereof is provided. The differential signal modulating apparatus receives differential signal pairs from a transmitter, and generates multimedia streams. It is controlled by modulating the reception sequence of differential pairs to match with the transmitted sequence of differential pairs sent from the transmitter. In addition, the present invention method can be extensively applied to various interfaces.
Abstract:
A dual cross-media relevance model (DCMRM) is used for automatic image annotation. In contrast to the traditional relevance models which calculate the joint probability of words and images over a training image database, the DCMRM model estimates the joint probability by calculating the expectation over words in a predefined lexicon. The DCMRM model may be advantageous because a predefined lexicon potentially has better behavior than a training image database. The DCMRM model also takes advantage of content-based techniques and image search techniques to define the word-to-image and word-to-word relations involved in image annotation. Both relations can be estimated by using image search techniques on the web data as well as available training data.

Abstract:
An optical polarization beam combiner or separator device includes a first optical beam carrier for carrying a first polarized beam and a second optical beam carrier for carrying a second polarized beam whose polarization is orthogonal to the polarization of the first polarized beam. First and second collimating/focusing lenses are positioned between the first and second optical carriers. A third optical beam carrier for carrying a non-polarized beam positioned on the same side of the two collimating/focusing lenses as the first optical beam carrier. An inorganic, dielectric grid polarizer is disposed between the first and second collimating/focusing lenses, and includes a stack of film layers disposed over a substrate. Adjacent film layers have different refractive indices. At least one of the film layers is discontinuous to form a form birefringent layer with an array of parallel ribs with a pitch of less than 400 nm, and greater than 200 nm.

A light recycling system includes a light source capable of producing a visible light beam. An inorganic, dielectric grid polarizing beam splitter is disposable in the light beam to separate the light beam into two light beams of orthogonal polarization orientation including a transmitted beam and a reflected beam. The grid polarizer includes a stack of film layers disposed over the substrate. Each film layer is formed of a material that is both inorganic and dielectric. Adjacent film layers have different refractive indices. At least one of the film layers is discontinuous to form a form birefringent layer with an array of parallel ribs with a period less than approximately 260 nm. Light reorientation means is disposable in the transmitted or reflected beam for changing the polarization orientation of the transmitted or reflected beam.
Abstract:
A projection display or modulation optical system includes a spatial light modulator and an inorganic, dielectric grid polarizer. The spatial light modulator selectively encodes image information on a polarized incident light beam and the inorganic, dielectric grid polarizing beam splitter separates the image information from the beam and produces a polarized image bearing light beam. The grid polarizer includes a stack of film layers disposed over a substrate; each film layer being formed of a material that is both inorganic and dielectric; adjacent film layers having different refractive indices; and at least one of the film layers being discontinuous to form a form birefringent layer with an array of parallel ribs with a period less than approximately 260 nm.
Abstract:
A duplicate image detection system generates an image table that maps hash codes of images to their corresponding images. The image table may group images according to their group identifiers generated from the most significant elements of the hash codes based on significance of the elements in representing an image. The image table thus segregates images by their group identifiers. To detect a duplicate image of a target image, the detection system generates a target hash code for the target image. The detection system then identifies the group of the target image based on the group identifier of the target hash code. After identifying the group identifier, the detection system searches the corresponding group table to identify hash codes that have values that are similar to the target hash code. The detection system then selects the images associated with those similar hash codes as being duplicates of the target image.
