Title: Opcode-driven buffer manager for use in data storage devices
Inventor: ROSS KEVIN
IPC: G11B3/00
Filed: 1999-07-29
Granted: 2002-11-11
Abstract: Methods and arrangements are provided to significantly reduce the processing burden in a data storage device and streamline the transfer of frames of data from the storage device to an external device, by taking into account certain known or otherwise determinable characteristics about the data recorded on the storage medium and selectively applying tag data to each frame of data. The tag data is then used to determine the disposition of each frame of data, and what actions if any are required to process the frame of data within the storage device. Since this ""tagging"", which can be logical or physical, can occur at an early stage in the circuitry of the storage device, the amount of subsequent processing is significantly reduced. Consequently, the latency associated with the storage device is also reduced. The various embodiments of the present invention can be used for a variety of data storage devices including, but not limited to, optical disc drives, magnetic drives and tapes, and similar data storage devices.

Title: Automated character stroke demonstration
Inventor: LEE YUAN-TAI
IPC: G06T11/00
Filed: 2000-02-11
Granted: 2005-08-11
Abstract: Chinese characters are composed of strokes, and it is very important to learn how to paint the strokes in correct sequences and directions, when people need to learn Chinese writing. However, because there are more than five thousand daily used Chinese characters, all with their own stroke sequences, it will spend a lot of labors to build computer animations for teaching, but Dynamical Stroke Animation Technology will save a lot of labors to do so. This technology is based on the Bizarre=curve stroke shape, plus the dame mathematic for the stroke direction, to generate stroke-writing animations dynamically. By using this technology, all stroke animations are produced on real-time, and can be shrunk or expanded immediately, and changed colors or adjusted display speed as well. The painting direction of each stroke can be divided into several segments. Continuous painting from the starting point of the stroke to the current segment's sub-point will perform as a motion paintbrush to fill the stroke. Since all the animations are generated by calculating stroke points, it is not necessary to pre-build large animation files. The only data that this technology needs is control points for stroke shape (close contour), and stroke direction (open contour). Therefore, the file size can be minimized, it will even smaller than 1/1000 of a traditional animation file. The characteristic for small-sized data is very useful for applying this technology in the Internet.
