Abstract:
A color camera includes at least three sub-cameras, each sub-camera having an imaging lens, a color filter, and an array of detectors, The color camera combines images from the three sub-cameras to form a composite multicolor image, wherein the three sub-cameras include a total number of detectors N and a total number of different color sets X, wherein a first number of signals of a first color set is less than N/X and a second number of signals of a second color set is greater than N/X, signals of the second color set being output from at least two of the three sub-cameras, wherein resolution of a composite image of the second color set is greater than resolution of an individual sub-camera and a resolution of the composite image. Corresponding images of the same color set may be shifted, either sequentially or simultaneously, relative to one another.
Abstract:
An optimized color filter array is formed in, above or below a one or more damascene layers. The color filter array includes filter regions which are configured to optimize the combined optical properties of the layers of the device to maximize the intensity of the particular wavelength of light incident to a respective underlying photodiode.

Abstract:
In a data transmission system (300), an encoder (310) provides a bitstream having a sequence of frame segments, wherein each frame segment has a bit size which is limited by the encoder to a maximum bit size. A transmission channel (316) is provided which has a channel rate sufficient to receive the bitstream from the encoder and transmits each consecutive frame segment of maximum bit size within a frame interval. A burst transmitter (312) receives the bitstream from the encoder and transmits each consecutive frame segment, at regular frame intervals, in a burst at the channel rate via the transmission channel, to provide a bursty bitstream over the transmission channel.
