摘要： A system and method for applying a layer of material in the image sensor fabrication process in order to increase the absorption of specific range light spectrum by the image sensor is described. The mechanism adopted is by converting light rays from higher energy range (shorter wavelength) to lower energy range (longer wavelength) such that the light absorption by the image sensor can be increased.

摘要： An image sensor includes a pixel array having a plurality of pixels. A readout circuit is coupled to the pixel array. A controller circuit is coupled to control the pixel array and is coupled to the readout circuit to receive array data from the pixel array. The controller circuit includes a mode control logic unit providing logic which when executed causes the image sensor operate in an idle mode of operation and then sample in response to receiving an event signal array data received from the pixel array in a pulsed mode of operation. A pattern in the array data samples over time is recognized and a mode of operation is selected in response to the recognized pattern.

摘要： A location tracking service includes a location tracking server and individual tracking modules. An individual tracking module can be attached or embedded in a consumer product. Each tracking module is programmable by an end-user to include a private ID that is sent along with tracking data to the location tracking server. The end-user can define and edit the private ID in the tracking module independent of the location tracking service to improve privacy protection. The tracking data may include raw (unprocessed) location data to reduce processing requirements at the tracking module.
