Abstract: A method of locating a starting point of a firmware image in a non-volatile memory
unit may include checking (151) each of a number of possible starting points within the non-volatile
memory unit (101) until a code space signature (120) is located that indicates the
starting point of the firmware image (100). A system for implementing this method in a host
device (108) may include a non-volatile memory unit (101) of the host device (108), and a
boot module (102) stored in the host device (108) for execution by a processor (107), where
the boot module (102) is configured, when executed, to check (151) each of a number of
possible starting points for the firmware image (100) within the non-volatile memory unit
(101) until a code space signature (120) is located that indicates the starting point of the
firmware image (100). A method of locating where in a non-volatile memory unit (101) an
incoming firmware image (100b) can be stored may include, on receipt of a the incoming
firmware image (100b), attempting (164) to erase at least one block (101a) of the non-volatile
memory unit (101) and storing (166) the incoming firmware image (100b) in the
non-volatile memory unit (101) where the attempt to erase succeeds. A system for
implementing this method in a host device (108) may include a processor (107) of the host
device (108) for running an existing firmware image (100a) and a non-volatile memory unit
(101) of the host device (108), where the existing firmware image (100a) is configured, on
receipt of a the incoming firmware image (100b), to attempt (164) erasure of at least one
block (101a) of the non-volatile memory unit (101), and store the incoming firmware image
(100b) in the non-volatile memory unit (101) where the attempted erasure succeeds.

Abstract: A method is provided for rendering a color image on a display apparatus in
which a pixel expressing an input image is formed with delta-structured subpixels.
The method comprises: (a) forming a scaling filter which is used to
make the resolution of the input image correspond to the resolution of the
display apparatus; (b) obtaining a representative value of a sub-pixel of the
display apparatus corresponding to a consideration area which is an area
processed by the scaling filter in the input image; (c) obtaining the value of the
sub-pixel based on the difference of pixels in the consideration area in the input
image; (d) performing gamma correction of the sub-pixel value so that the sub-pixel
is appropriate to the display apparatus; and (e) rendering the gamma-adjusted
sub-pixel value on the display apparatus. By using the sub-pixel
rendering method of a display apparatus, resolution is improved and the color
fringe that can occur due to sub-pixel rendering is reduced.

Abstract: A steer-by-wire steering apparatus for a vehicle has a first control system including a first ECU (310), and a second control system including a second ECU (320). Each ECU responds to manipulation of the steering wheel (140) by a driver, and controls a steering motor (211,212). The first ECU determines whether the second control system is malfunctioning, and the second ECU determines whether the first system is malfunctioning. When any of the system is malfunctioning, the ECU of normally functioning system controls a counter force motor such that steering wheel receives a counter force that is different from that when both systems are functioning normally. Accordingly, the steering apparatus is capable of fast and reliably causing a driver to realize a malfunction in the steering apparatus.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a magnetic lens is provided that can generate a substantially constant amount of average heat power over a pre-selected range of resultant magnetic field strengths. The lens is configured to do this with multiple, asymmetric (different turns) coil sections that can produce a desired range of field strengths, and at the same time, maintain a sufficiently constant temperature signature when the average total power is maintained constant thereby eliminating unreasonable delays in lens operation when the resultant field strength is changed. The asymmetric lens structure allows for the smaller coil to be made with less relative inductance thereby making it more responsive and amenable for an AC drive signal and thus dynamic focusing applications if desired. Thus, a magnetic lens is now provided that can produce a range of magnetic beam-focusing field strengths, implement dynamic focusing, and not impose unreasonable delay for thermal stabilization between changes in magnetic field strength.

IPC: H03D3/00
Filed: 2004-08-18
Abstract: A direct conversion receiver includes a receiver for receiving a
signal including multiple components at different receiving frequencies
belonging to a frequency band. A mixer mixes the signal components into a
base band signal comprising I- and Q branches. A converter converts the
analog base band signal into a digital signal. The receiver includes a
measuring unit for measuring power levels of the signal components in pairs,
where one component in the pair belongs to an upper sideband of the
frequency band and one component in the pair belongs to a lower sideband of
the frequency band. An estimator estimates, when either the upper sideband
component or the lower sideband component dominates in power over the
component in the pair, a frequency-independent phase imbalance, a frequency-dependent
phase imbalance and a gain imbalance, and a compensator
compensates the estimated imbalances to at least one of the I- and Q-branch
signals.

Abstract: This invention uses a real-time holographic medium to record the amplitude and phase information collected from a m oving platform at t he aperture p lane of a side-looking optical sensor over the collection time. A back-scan mirror is used to compensate platform motion during the synthetic aperture integration time. Phase errors caused by a nonlinear platform motion are compensated by controlling the phase offset between the illumination beam and the reference beam used to write the hologram based on inertial measurements of the flight path and the sensor line-of-sight pointing angles. In the illustrative embodiment, a synthetic aperture ladar (SAL) imaging system is mounted on a mobile platform. The system is adapted to receive a beam of electromagnetic energy; record the intensity and phase pattern carried by the beam; and store the pattern to compensate for motion of the platform relative to an external reference. In the illustrative embodiment, the image is stored as a holographic image. The system includes a back-scan mirror, which compensates the stored holographic pattern for motion of the platform. The medium and back-scan mirror may be replaced with a digital camera and one-dimensional and two-dimensional arrays may be used. In a specific embodiment, a two-dimensional array is used with a time delay and integration (TDI) scheme, which compensates for motion of the platform in the storage of the optical signals. In an alternative embodiment, a back-scanning mirror is used to compensate for motion of the platform. Consequently, the interference pattern between a relayed image of the aperture plane and a reference beam is continuously stored. In this embodiment, the instantaneous location of the received beam on the recording medium is controlled to compensate for motion of the platform.
