Patent BR-9916497-A (BR)
Inventor: ACKERMANN JUERGEN
IPC: C01B33/025
Filed: 1999-12-09
Abstract: According to a method for agglomerating silicon powders, the silicon powder is heated to a temperature of at least 250  DEG C, preferably 1200 to 1500  DEG C, using the effect of microwave radiation in the wavelength range 0.5 kHz to 300 GHz. Fine silicon dust with a particle size of less than 100 mu m is preferably used as the starting material. Metal-containing and/or boron, phosphorus, arsenic or antimony-containing doping agents can be added to the silicon powder before or after the microwave treatment. The resulting granulate is optionally broken, milled and sifted. The invention also relates to a silicon granulate which can be produced by this method. Said granulate preferably has a porosity of 0 to 80 % and foreign phases or precipitates on the grain boundary of the monocrystals. The inventive silicon granulate can be used for producing silicon monocrystals or multicrystalline silicon blocks or for reacting with hydrogen chloride or halogenated hydrocarbons in fluidised beds or shaft furnaces.

Title: Correcting a digital image for camera shake
Inventor: LEE SUNG-HEE
IPC: H04N19/423
Filed: 2001-06-22
Abstract: The present invention is directed to correcting motion in an image which occurs due to motion of a user's hand when recording using a mobile image communication system by adapting a digital image stabilization technique in a video decoder. When decoding an encoded bit stream by a macro block unit, local motion vector information is extracted, and one global motion vector is determined using the extracted local motion vector information. The global motion vector corrects for motion of a mobile image communication system, and it is possible to obtain a stabilized image by correcting the decoded image data stored in a frame memory using the derived global motion vector. In the present invention, since only the local motion vector information is used in the encoded bit stream, hardware construction is simplified. Therefore, the present invention is well adapted to compute a large amount of data. In addition, the present invention is well adapted to an apparatus capable of correcting for motion in an image due to movement of a user's hand in order to obtain a stable image for a mobile image communication system which is implemented based on MPEG, H.261/263, IMT-2000.

Title: Predictive control of multiple image capture devices.
Inventor: HUNTER ANDREW ARTHUR
IPC: H04N7/46
Filed: 2001-07-31
Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling the operation of, for example, a surveillance system having a plurality of video cameras 10 mounted or otherwise placed in spaced apart relation within an area to be monitored. The cameras 10 are linked to an ethernet-based control unit 14 which includes an interface 16 for receiving the output from the cameras 10 and sending signals to the cameras to alter their operating mode, as necessary. The control unit 14 further comprises a motion detection means 18 for monitoring the images received from the cameras 10. The cameras 10 are adapted to operate in at least two modes: a low resolution mode in which they transmit low resolution images captured within their field of view, and a high resolution mode in which they transmit high resolution captured images. Under normal circumstances, the cameras 10 having fields of view within which no activity is taking place will be operating in low resolution mode to minimise power consumption, storage consumption and transmission band width of the systems. In the event that the control unit 14 detects activity within the field of view of one of the cameras 10, it transmits a signal to that particular camera to switch its mode to high resolution, the other cameras 10 remaining in the low resolution mode. The control unit 14 further comprises tracking means 20 for monitoring the activity within the initial field of view and for predicting which field of view the activity will move into as it moves out of the initial field of view. In response to such prediction, the control unit 14 sends a signal to the camera 10 whose field of view the activity is predicted to move into, switching its mode to high resolution.

Title: Serial data input to a non-volatile memory
Inventor: AHN JONG-KEUN
IPC: G11C16/10
Filed: 2001-11-13
Abstract: A controller 200 transfers a group of data received from serial data input 301 to a non-volatile memory chip 100 based on a determination that the transfer of the data from the exterior to a data register 220 is complete based on the capacity of a write buffer 180 of the non-volatile memory. Whilst transferring the first group of data to the non-volatile memory the controller is receiving the next group of data is on the serial data input and storing this in the data register. The control logic 210 determines the size of the write buffer by reading the byte select register 240 which in turn was determined by the programmed value of command register 250 received on the serial data input (see figure 2) prior to transmission of data begins in addition with a start address which is stored in address register 230. Alternatively the controller may be supplied with a byte select input (BS figure 4) to the byte select register (240' figure 4). The clock signal input 302 is used to time each of transfers of a group of data but in an alternative embodiment asynchronous transfer is used with a single input (TX, Fig 5).
