    摘要: Techniques and structures are disclosed for allowing context-based searches to be performed from a wireless device. In at least one embodiment, a wireless device may append context-specific information, collected by at least one local sensor to a network search query to be delivered to a remote search engine when a network search is being performed. The wireless device may then receive search results from the remote search engine in response to the network search query that identify the elements of appended context-specific information that were used to perform the network search. The wireless device may then display these search results to a user.

    摘要: An image sensor array for capturing a sequence of video frames has a plurality of pixels, wherein each one of the pixels has a set of intrapixel logic including a previous register to store a pixel value of a previous frame and a current register to store a pixel value of a current frame, the current registers corresponding to the previous registers. An intrapixel subtractor coupled to the previous and current registers produces a difference between the previous and current registers for all pixels in the video frames in parallel. The differences are accumulated for each block of the image sensor array to form a total divergence for each block. The total divergences, associated motion vectors, and pixel values are used in motion estimation processing by a processor coupled to the image sensor array.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, method, and machine-readable medium are disclosed. In one embodiment the apparatus includes an address swap cache. The apparatus also includes memory segment swap logic that is capable of detecting a reproducible fault at a first address targeting a memory segment. Once detected, the logic remaps the first address targeting the faulty memory segment with a second address targeting another memory segment. The logic stores the two addresses in an entry in the address swap cache. Then the memory segment swap logic receives a memory transaction that is targeting the first physical address and use the address to perform a lookup process in the address swap cache to determine if an entry exists that has the faulty address. If an entry does exist for that address, the logic then swaps the second address into the memory transaction for the first address.

    摘要: An image sensing array having discrete and continuous time processing capabilities. Integration of a photocurrent is used to produce a high resolution digital image. By also employing continuous time processing of the photocurrent within the image sensing array, the robustness of the imaging system is enhanced. The continuous time processing permits a number of low precision calculations that may be performed within the focal plane or on the edge of the focal plane without the addition of significant circuit complexity. In one embodiment, motion representation is improved through optical flow determination based on the continuous photocurrent. These same determinations may facilitate compression of image data by reducing a search area for moving objects within the image.

    摘要: An imaging system includes an array of pixel sensors and a mode control circuit. The array of pixel sensors is adapted to furnish logarithmically encoded indications of light intensities during a first mode and furnish linearly encoded indications of the light intensities during a second mode. The mode control circuit is adapted to selectively place the array in one of the first and second modes. The imaging system may include more than one array, and the mode control circuit may configure one of the arrays. The imaging system may include a camera, for example, that includes the array(s) and mode control circuit.
