摘要： An image or other multi-dimensional data set may have its sampling rate changed by determining weighting factors for the values of points in the original (input) data set used to calculate the value of a point in the new (output) data set. The weighting factors are determined using a function, such as a Gaussian function, that takes as input the relative location of the point in the new data set with respect to the locations of surrounding (neighboring) points in the original data set. The values of the points in the original data set are multiplied by the weighting factors, and the resultant products are added (or combined by another function) to give a value of the point in the new data set. In particular, when the input and output data sets are regularly spaced, such as with pixels for computer displays, the locations of the surrounding points and thus their weights repeat periodically. This results in increased efficiency because the surrounding points and their weights need to be determined only for a subset of the output data set.

摘要： The present invention is directed to systems and methods for protecting digital content during transmission. One version of the invention provides a method for encryption in a high-speed digital video transmission system that includes the steps of: a) performing transition controlled encoding of a first sequence of n bit data words into encoded n+1 bit data characters where the n is a positive integer, b) performing XOR masking of the encoded n+1 bit data characters with an XOR mask to produce masked n+1 bit data characters; c) DC balancing the masked n+1 bit data characters to produce DC balanced, masked n+2 bit data characters; d) scrambling the DC balanced, masked n+2 bit data characters using a scrambling formula to produce encrypted n+2 bit data characters; e) encoding control data into encoded n+2 bit control characters, f) generating a serial data stream in response to the encrypted data characters and encoded control characters, and g) transmitting the serial data stream over a communication link. Subsequent to step (e) and prior to step (f), the method can further include the step of encrypting the encoded n+2 bit control characters, such that the generating step generates a serial data stream in response to the encrypted data characters and the encrypted control characters.

摘要： The invention describes in detail the structure of a CMOS image sensor pixel that senses color of impinging light without having absorbing filters placed on its surface. The color sensing is accomplished by having a vertical stack of three-charge detection nodes placed in the silicon bulk, which collect electrons depending on the depth of their generation. The small charge detection node capacitance and thus high sensitivity with low noise is achieved by using fully depleted, potential well forming, buried layers instead of undepleted junction electrodes. Two embodiments of contacting the buried layers without substantially increasing the node capacitances are presented.

摘要： Digital pixel data is transferred from a computer system to video display hardware in a forward direction. However, there are many reasons for digital pixel data to be transferred in both directions along a cable connecting a computer and a monitor. This invention describes a method of sending digital data from a monitor back to the computer in a reverse direction. In transmission of digital pixel data in a forward direction, there are horizontal and vertical blanking periods during which special characters are transmitted in order to resynchronize the digital pixel data to a clock signal. In such a system the transmission of these special characters only requires a portion of the blanking periods. During the remainder to the blanking period, some of or all of the data paths can be used in order to transmit digital data in a reverse direction. Where all data paths are used, the beginning and end of the usable portion of the blanking periods may last for a fixed number of clock cycles. Alternatively, the beginning and end of the usable portion of the blanking periods may be indicated by signals transmitted in a forward direction over one of the data paths, where all data paths are not used in a reverse direction.
