Abstract: Decoding low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes using an iterative decoding structure where for each iteration (referring to Fig. 3b), a plurality of bit nodes and a plurality of check nodes are updated <B>302</B>. For each bit node, a set of check node messages are used for updating that bit node and for each check node <B>306</B> a set of bit node messages are used for updating that check node <B>306</B>. In each check node update <B>302</B>, selecting a first subset of bit node messages from the set of bit node messages used for updating each check node <B>306</B> and selecting a first algorithm for use in updating a first subset of check node messages corresponding to the first subset of bit node messages. Identifying a second subset of bit node messages, excluding the first subset of bit node messages, used for updating the check node <B>306</B>, and selecting a second algorithm for use in updating a second subset of check node messages corresponding to the second subset of bit node messages. The first subset of bit node messages may include a set of most contributing bit-node messages, or the smallest bit node messages, or least reliable bit node messages. A more computationally-demanding algorithm may be used in association with the most contributing bit nodes in the check node update process. The remaining bit nodes and their messages may be updated using a less computationally-demanding algorithm.

Title: Instant replay of digital broadcast data
Inventor: YEH TSUEI-CHI
IPC: H04N5/44
Filed: 2006-03-14
Abstract: An apparatus for the instant replay of digital broadcast data comprises a receiver 110 for receipt of digital broadcast data, a controller 150 for sending received data to a memory 120 and a decoder 130. The decoder decodes received broadcast data for display on player 140. Upon detection of a replay order from a user, the controller initiates retrieval of recently stored video frame data from memory and supplies this to the decoder to enable viewing of the stored frames. The memory may be in the form of a RAM or EEPROM, and is cyclically updated and overwritten such that only the most recent frames prior to those currently received are stored, within a predetermined timeslot. The amount of video data stored is determined by the capacity of the memory. The apparatus allow the instant replay of recent image data without the necessity for additional conventional recording means. A method for instant replay of digital broadcast data and a digital television with an instant replay function are also claimed.

Title: Active matrix liquid crystal device with temperature sensing capacitor arrangement
Inventor: BROWN CHRISTOPHER JAMES
IPC: G09G3/36
Filed: 2006-03-23
Abstract: An active matrix liquid crystal device (AMLCD) comprises an active matrix substrate (1) and a counter electrode substrate carrying a common electrode whose voltage may vary so as to reduce liquid crystal degradation. A layer of liquid crystal material is disposed between the substrates and a temperature measuring arrangement (10) is provided on the active matrix substrate (1). This arrangement (10) comprises a temperature sensing liquid crystal capacitor (11) which in turn comprises a first electrode formed on the active matrix substrate (1) and separated from the common electrode, which forms the second electrode of the capacitor, by the liquid crystal layer, which forms the capacitor dielectric. A measuring circuit (12, 13, 15) repeatedly performs a precharging step, in which the capacitor (11) is precharged to a fixed stable known voltage magnitude, and a step in which a signal representing the capacitance is formed. For example, the charge stored in the capacitor (11) may be charge-shared with a transfer capacitor to form thereacross a voltage representing the capacitance of the liquid crystal capacitor (11) and hence representing the liquid crystal temperature. The sampling is performed repeatedly, preferably in synchronism with addressing performed by the active matrix of the device. The resulting temperature measurement may be used, for example, to compensate the AMLCD for the effects of temperature variation in the liquid crystal properties.
