Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for performing motion estimation and
compensation to fractional pixel accuracy using polyphase prediction filters as part of
a video compression/decompression technique. A motion estimator applies a set of
polyphase filters to some data in the reference picture and generates motion vectors,
an estimated macroblock of video data, and a residual error macroblock of video data.
The data referenced in the reference picture usually have more data than a macroblock
since multi-tap filtering needs to access more data. A motion compensator generates a
compensated macroblock of video data in response to the reference video data, the
residual error macroblock of video data, and a polyphase prediction filter decided by
the motion vector. The reference video data are usually reconstructed at the
compensator side.

Abstract: The present invention relates to improved approaches for accessing
secured digital assets (e.g., secured items). In general, digital assets that have
been secured (secured digital assets) can only be accessed by authenticated
users with appropriate access rights or privileges. Each secured digital asset is
provided with a header portion and a data portion, where the header portion
includes a pointer to separately stored security information. The separately
stored security information is used to determine whether access to associated
data portions of secured digital assets is permitted. These improved
approaches can facilitate the sharing of security information by various secured
digital assets and thus reduce the overall storage space for the secured digital
assets. These improved approaches can also facilitate efficient management of
security for digital assets.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a capacitive micro-electro-mechanical
switch and method of manufacturing the same. In the capacitive micro-electro-mechanical
switch for use in the radio frequency (RF) and the
microwave driven by the electrostatic force, a capacitor of a 3-dimensional

increased without increasing an capacitor area while preventing an increase in
an OFF capacitance using the capacitor. Thus, an ON/OFF capacitance ratio
of the capacitive micro-electro-mechanical switch can be increased and
insertion loss and isolation characteristic could be improved.
