Title: Dual mode digital camera for video and still operation
Inventor: DUNTON RANDY R
IPC: H04N5/335
Filed: 1998-09-15
Abstract: A cost effective digital image capture apparatus such is a digital camera (100) that operates in both still mode and video mode, using a common programmable image processing chain and fixed optics. The full resolution of the image sensor (114, yielding raw image data) may be used in still mode, with adequate signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) achieved either from the scene ambient lighting or from supplemental light supplied by a strobe (112). In video mode, the apparatus may be configured to capture video image data by programming the parameters for image processing methodologies such as scaling, decorrelation, and encoding into a look-up table (LUT) which in turn configures logic circuitry to spatial scale and compress if necessary the raw image data in order to meet storage and transmission bandwidth constraints for video images. In video mode, adequate SNR may be achieved despite the lower light conditions, encountered, for example, during videoconferencing, by averaging pixels together, during scaling.

Title: Portable terminal device for controlling received voice level and transmitted voice level
Inventor: BANNO SATOSHI
IPC: H03G3/00
Filed: 1999-03-30
Abstract: A level of a voice inputted from a microphone 1 is detected in a level detecting section 2. An instantaneous voice level which is sampled every a predetermined time is subjected to an average processing in a processing section 4, and is outputted as an average voice level. At this time, the first average voice level immediately after starting a phone conversation is stored in a memory section 6 as a reference amplitude level. During the telephone conversation, a voice level inputted to the microphone 1 is compared with the reference amplitude level in a comparing section 5 every a predetermined time. When the voice level inputted to the microphone 1 is higher than the reference amplitude level, a controlling section 7 increases a voice volume outputted from a speaker 11 whilst also reducing the volume of the signal transmitted from the microphone. On the other hand, when the voice level inputted to the microphone 1 is lower than the reference amplitude level, the controlling section 7 decreases the voice volume outputted from the speaker 11 and increases the volume outputted from the microphone.

Patent GB-2374945-A (GB)
Title: Mach-Zehnder Optical Modulator
Inventor: GREEN MALCOLM
IPC: G02F1/225
Filed: 2001-04-26
Abstract: The present invention relates to a Mach-Zehnder optical modulator having an electrode structure that is arranged to compensate for temperature induced performance degrading variations. The distances between appropriate faces of the signal electrode and a ground electrode and corresponding wave-guide arms are arranged such that there is a more balanced thermal expansion of the waveguide arms due to heating of the waveguides by the RF signals carried on the signal and ground electrodes. Tailored buffer layers further balances the heating in the waveguide arms through the RF losses in the electrodes. The balanced heating reduces the temperature gradient between the waveguide arms of the optical modulator and hence reduces the adverse thermally induced performance degrading variations.

Abstract: In some embodiments, the invention includes a method of regularity extraction including generating a set of templates (S1, S2, S3) for a circuit (10) through computer automated operations on a description of the circuit (10). The method also includes covering the circuit with instances of a subset of the templates. In some embodiments, the set of templates includes single-principal output templates, where a single-principal output template is a template in which all outputs of the template are in the transitive fanin of a particular output of the template.

In some embodiments, the set of templates is a complete set of templates given certain assumptions including that the set of templates include all maximal templates of involved classes of templates and a template is not generated through permuting gate inputs. In some embodiments, the covering of the circuit involves selecting one of the set of templates and meeting certain criteria and deleting all nodes in instances of the selected template. The covering may further include deleting the templates in the set of templates other than the selected templates and regenerating a new set of templates from the remaining uncovered circuit.

Title: Semiconductor optical source and modulator
Inventor: SHIELDS ANDREW JAMES
IPC: G02F1/017
Filed: 2001-09-25
Abstract: An electro-optical device formed on a GaAs substrate comprises a reservoir 13 of excess carriers (eg quantum well, quantum wire), n-type 21 and p-type 23 ohmic contacts, source 25 and drain 27 contacts, and a stripe waveguide 22. The p-type contact 23 and n-type contact 21 are biased with respect to the drain contact 27 to inject holes and an excess of electrons, thus generating charged excitons in the reservoir. These charged excitons decay to produce photons which are guided out of the device by the waveguide 22. By applying an electric field between the source 25 and drain 27, charged excitons can be caused to drift out of the waveguide 22 before decay, thus the output intensity can be controlled or switched off. In an alternative embodiment, output wavelength may be modulated. Furthermore, the generation of excitons may be optically activated by illumination from a light source, rather than electrically activated by electrical contacts 21,23.
