IPC: H04N19/423
Filed: 2009-05-29
Abstract: An image (1) is decomposed into multiple superblocks (20, 22), each encompassing multiple pixel blocks (30A-30D, 32A-32D) having multiple pixels (40). The property values of a superblock (20) is fixed rate compressed to get a compressed block having a target bit length. The compressed block is stored in the memory locations (310, 320) assigned to the multiple pixel blocks (30A-30D) encompassed by the superblock (20) to thereby get multiple copies of the compressed block in the memory (300). The multiple copies collectively constitute a compressed representation of the superblock (20). When accessing a compressed block in a memory location (310) using random access during decoding, property values for neighboring pixel blocks (30B-30D) are obtained for free without the need for any further memory access.

Abstract: A first diffusion region (N1) constituting a photodiode in each pixel stores carriers generated according to incident light. A second diffusion region (P+) is formed at a surface of the first diffusion region to cover a peripheral part of the first diffusion region. In the peripheral part of the first diffusion region, crystal defects tend to occur by a process of forming an isolation region (STI) and a process of forming a gate electrode (TG), so that dark current noise tends to occur. The second diffusion region functions as a protection layer which prevents occurrence of crystal defects in a manufacturing process. The second diffusion region is not formed on a central part of the surface of the first diffusion region where crystal defects do not tend to occur. In the first diffusion region where the second diffusion region is not formed, the thickness of a depletion layer can be increased, which can improve light detection sensitivity. This can improve detection sensitivity of the photodiode without increasing the dark current noise.

Abstract: This invention provides an oral apparatus and method capable of alleviating or curing snore and obstructive sleep apnea by applying a negative pressure through a mini oral interface to the oral cavity. The mini oral interface creates a secure connection between the interface and mouth or teeth and prevents the interface from falling off. The oral interface also provides fixation between upper and lower lips (or tooth) and prevents opening of patient's mouth during sleeping. The negative pressure pulls the tongue toward upper palate and also pulls the soft palate forward as well. By moving the tongue and the soft palate in a forward direction, the patentcy of the upper airway near the pharynx is maintained to prevent sleep-disordered breathing. The negative pressure will pull the lips inward to close the mouth ad prevent air from entering the oral cavity from atmosphere. The negative pressure will also pull the soft palate into contact with the rear surface of the tongue to create a seal that prevents the air from entering the oral cavity through the nasal airway.
