Patent EP-1302854-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ROBERTS DEREK EDWARD
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2000-05-03
Abstract: A method is provided for arranging data transfers from one or more applications on a
computer, the computer having a main memory, an asynchronous network interface, and
a Direct Memory Access (DMA) engine having a request queue address common to all
the applications. The application requests the network interface to store one or more
triggering value(s) corresponding to a data block to be transferred. An application
requests the DMA engine to transfer a block of data. The network interface stores one
or more triggering value(s) corresponding to the data block to be transferred, along with
an identification of the application which requested the DMA transfer. The network
interface monitors the data stream being sent by the applications and compares at least
part of the data stream with the triggering value(s) stored in its memory. If any
triggering value matches, an indication is provided that that triggering has matched.

Abstract: A charge pump includes at least one switching transistor
(M s1 ,M s2 ) for switching current on or off in response
to an up or down signal, a pair of transistors
(M d1 ,M d2 ,M d3 ,M d4 ) (one coupled to
the source and the other to the drain of the switching transistor) each
having its source and drain shorted and coupled to receive a complement
of the signal on the gate terminal of the switching transistor on their
gate terminals, and a fourth transistor (M x ,M y )
coupled to the drain of the switching transistor and a power supply
(Gnd). The pair of transistors are activated concurrent with the
deactivation of the switching transistor. The fourth transistor
(M x ,M y ) may provide for active shutoff of a current
transistor being switched by the switching transistor, by actively
charging the source of the current transistor to a voltage which is not
exceeded by the gate terminal of the current transistor.

surge current produced when the alternating power is
applied through the relay. The relay includes a relay
coil (6a) and a relay switch (SW IR ) responding to the
operation of the cooking timer (8). The current limiting
means is characterized in that its resistance increases
in proportion to internal temperature of the current
limiting means. Suitably, the current limiting means is

Abstract: Provided are a method of improving the gradation of an image, and an image
display apparatus for performing the method. The method is to improves
gradations of an image carried out by a liquid crystal display including a liquid crystal
driving unit for generating a liquid crystal driving signal in response to voltage, which
is selected in accordance with the size of an image signal from liquid crystal driving
voltages each classified by first and second fields which constitutes a unit frame, and
a liquid crystal display panel for being driven in response to the liquid crystal driving
signal and displaying the image, the method includes (a) measuring luminance levels
of an image displayed on the liquid crystal display panel while changing the liquid
crystal driving voltage per frame; (b) determining at least one luminance level section
whose gradations needs to be improved from the measured luminance levels; (c)
producing new liquid crystal driving voltages to be increased or decreased centering
around the liquid crystal driving voltage related to lowest luminance level per the first
and second fields in each determined luminance level section; (d) obtaining new
luminance levels using the produced new liquid crystal driving voltages; (e) selecting
at least one available first luminance level from the new luminance levels; and (f)
checking whether the gradations of the image are improved using the first luminance
level, and/or returning back to step (e) if the gradations are not improved.
According to this method, it is possible to increase the number of gradations of an
image and make irregular difference between luminance levels of gradations regular,
thereby improving the quality of the image.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une matrice d'affichage destinée à former une image composite à partir d'une série de sous-images. En règle générale, la matrice d'affichage comprend plusieurs éléments d'affichage, chacun desquels comprenant un pixel, et un circuit d'affichage connecté électriquement au pixel. Une source d'éclairage éclaire chaque pixel. Une logique commande l'intensité de chaque pixel en utilisant une forme d'onde commandée numériquement pour commander une durée pendant laquelle l'éclairage peut traverser le cristal liquide des éléments d'affichage. L'invention concerne également un procédé de commande de l'affichage numérique. Chaque chronomètre de pixels, parmi un ensemble, est paramétré avec une valeur d'intensité, les chronomètres de pixels étant associés à des pixels d'un affichage. Les pixels de l'affichage sont paramétrés dans un premier état. Chaque chronomètre est initialisé. L'éclairage est appliqué à l'affichage. Chaque pixel est commuté dans un second état au terme de la durée de chronométrage. L'opération est répétée un nombre de fois prédéterminé pour générer une image. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'invention concerne également un procédé de production d'une image en niveaux de gris sur un affichage numérique. Des valeurs d'intensité pour chaque pixel sont stockées dans des mémoires de pixel toutes associées aux pixels individuels d'un affichage. Chacun des pixels est paramétré dans un premier état. Un premier niveau d'intensité est diffusé aux pixels. Le premier niveau d'intensité est analysé avec les valeurs d'intensité stockées dans les mémoires de pixel. Les pixels dont la valeur d'intensité associée correspond au premier niveau d'intensité sont commutés dans un second état. L'éclairage est appliqué à l'affichage. On laisse ensuite s'écouler une période de temps prédéterminée. Une valeur d'intensité suivante est alors diffusée aux pixels et le niveau d'intensité suivant est analysé avec les valeurs d'intensité stockées dans les mémoires de pixel. Les pixels dont la valeur d'intensité associée correspond au niveau d'intensité suivant sont commutés dans le second état. Les deux étapes finales du procédé sont répétées pour chaque niveau d'intensité souhaitée.
