Title: Method and related apparatus for motion estimation
Inventor: HO CHENG-TSAI
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2003-11-11
Granted: 2005-02-01
Abstract: A method and related apparatus for motion estimation in a video compression system, using a cost function different from that of the prior art to determine an optimal motion vector for a current encoding block. The cost function takes into account not only the conventional sum of absolute differences but also the quantization step, the variation of pixel differences between the current encoding block and a block in a search range in a target picture. Using the disclosed cost function, the result residual corresponding to the optimal motion vector can be better compressed than that of other candidate motion vectors.

Title: Polishing head test station
Inventor: LIN JIAN
IPC: B24B37/30
Filed: 2003-12-22
Granted: 2006-09-01
Abstract: A test station for testing polishing heads for planarizing semiconductor wafers and other substrates has a head positioning control system which can precisely position the polishing head at one of many electronically controlled positions above the test station platform. The test station mat also include a lateral carriage assembly which supports the polishing head above a base plate of the station and permits the polishing head to be moved in a gliding motion above the surface of the test station test wafer. A sensor senses when the carriage of the assembly is moved from a load position. In response, the test station controller causes a vertical actuator to lift the head mount in the vertical or Z direction. In this position, there is sufficient clearance for the polishing head being carried by the carriage to slide under the head mount and into position for mounting to the head adapter. The carriage includes a carriage plate, the top surface of which defines a generally disk segment shaped recess which is sized and shaped to receive the bottom of a polishing head of a first size, such as a polishing head adapted to hold 300 mm semiconductor wafers for polishing, for example. The test station includes an adapter plate which may be placed onto the carriage plate of the carriage instead of a polishing head. The adapter plate has a recess which is sized to receive a different sized polishing head. A wafer chuck can chuck test wafers of different sizes, such as 200 mm wafers and 300 mm wafers, for example and includes a plate which defines a first set of annular-shaped grooves in a first area which is a central disk-shaped area. A second set of annular-shaped grooves is positioned in a second area which is annular shaped and surrounds the central area. The test station has two independent vacuum lines coupled to the first and second sets of grooves respectively, which draw vacuum pressure through the grooves to draw a test wafer down and chuck the test wafer in place on the wafer chuck.

Title: Improved hanger structure
Inventor: HU HOU-FEI
IPC: A47F7/00
Filed: 2004-02-24
Granted: 2005-02-01
Abstract: The present invention provides an improved hanger structure. A fastening block of the hanger has a length smaller than the width of a hanging hole of an object, such that the object can be smoothly sleeved on a hook from top to down while the hanging hole of the object is not blocked by the fastening block, and the object is not required to swing to a specific angle. Accordingly, the object can be hanged easily and rapidly. When the object is to be taken off, the object is first pulled upward so that the hanging hole of the object easily gets across the fastening block and is separated from the hook. The consumer can achieve the operation of hanging object or taking off object with only one hand without causing the hanging card to shake thereby providing a convenient and easy operation. Further, the hook and fastening block can be integrated onto the hanging card, so as to simplify the structure design without the need of assembly, and lower the manufacturing cost, thereby providing a design with industrial utilization and progress features.

Title: Reflection type liquid crystal display element, its manufacturing method and liquid crystal display unit
Inventor: HASHIMOTO SHUNICHI

Granted: 2007-07-11
Abstract: Provided are a reflective liquid crystal display device, its manufacturing method and a liquid crystal display unit capable of eliminating or minimizing the occurrence of misalignment specific to a vertically aligned liquid crystal due to the structure of a pixel groove and achieving higher contrast and superior image quality. In a reflective pixel electrode (42), a peripheral portion is inclined by etching the side face, after the metal film formed on the pixel electrode substrate (40) is cut and processed to become a side face vertical with the pixel electrode substrate (40). When a side surface of the reflective pixel electrode (42) is inclined so as to eliminate verticality in a cross section of the reflective pixel electrode (42), liquid crystal molecules aligned in a horizontal direction to an extreme in a pixel groove portion can be eliminated. Even if liquid crystal molecules are locally and slightly aligned in a horizontal direction, sufficient verticality can be maintained in the pixel groove portion by an interaction with vertically aligned liquid crystal molecules around the horizontally aligned liquid crystal molecules.

Title: Method of and apparatus for processing passive threads and active semaphores
Inventor: JIANG HONG
IPC: G06F9/52
Filed: 2004-12-27
Granted: 2008-11-01
Abstract: Multiple parallel passive threads of instructions coordinate access to shared resources using "active" semaphores. The semaphores are referred to as active because the semaphores send messages to execution and/or control circuitry to cause the state of a thread to change. A thread can be placed in an inactive state by a thread scheduler in response to an unresolved dependency, which can be indicated by a semaphore. A thread state variable corresponding to the dependency is used to indicate that the thread is in inactive mode. When the dependency is resolved a message is passed to control circuitry causing the dependency variable to be cleared. In response to the cleared dependency variable the thread is placed in an active state. Execution can proceed on the threads in the active state.
