Abstract: With the same available maximum voltage of the line drivers and the same liquid crystal material as in the case of conventional FLC displays, information-carrying column pulses of shorter duration than for line pulses to build up write pulses have the effect of improving a number of display characteristics, for example the contrast or image refresh rate. The image refresh rate is further improved by overlapping line pulses of lines addressed one after the other. <IMAGE>

Inventor: CORREA CARLOS
IPC: H04N5/44
Filed: 1993-03-30
Abstract: In image processing, there are various methods for converting from interlace to progressive, for example line doubling and motion-adaptive interpolation. In the first case, the hardware outlay is relatively low but the resultant image quality is not optimum for certain image contents. In the second case, the image quality is indeed higher but the hardware outlay is as well. According to the invention, a temporal interpolation of two pixels at the same position in space and temporarily adjacent is first carried out with the aid of a median filter for each pixel to be determined. The result is corrected by further median filtering of the vertically adjacent pixels. Advantageously, no motion detection is required for this double median (DM) interpolation. In addition, the DM interpolation is noise-insensitive. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A dynamically variable anti-aliasing filtering system calculates on a local basis the compression factors (Cf) present in an image that is being mapped from a two-dimensional source image through a three-dimensional space and into a two-dimensional target image, the apparatus implementing a linear equation of the form :
     Cf = A*X s  + B*Y s  + C where, X s  and Y s  are, respectively, the horizontal and vertical coordinates of pixels in the source image, and A, B and C are precalculated (each field or frame) constants that depend on the transform matrix function F. A total of four compression factors are required, one for control of horizontal luminance filtering, one for control of vertical luminance filtering, one for control of horizontal chrominance filtering and one for control of vertical chrominance filtering. Three dual accumulator circuits (20,30,40) are used to implement the linear equation in X s  and Y s  for three different sets of A, B and C. One of these circuits measures horizontal chrominance compression, one vertical luminance compression and one compression due to skew angles. The outputs of these circuits are converted to logarithms and combined with each other and with the logarithms of multiplicative constants representing the ratios between calculated compression factors and the other required compression factor to produce those other compression factors.

Abstract: A filter processing unit 2 receives the output of an oversampling-type A/D converter circuit 1. Predetermined information is acquired by a compensation circuit 3-1 with predetermined timing from the filter processing unit 2 in the course of processing for producing a filter output for a predetermined integration-phase state and the predetermined information is fed back to the filter processing unit 2 as compensation information representing a difference in magnitude between a filter output with an integration phase lagging behind or leading ahead of the predetermined integration-phase state and a filter output with an unchanged integration phase in order to produce a controllable-phase filter output DMout. The timing for the acquisition of the compensation information by the compensation circuit 3-1 is controlled by a control circuit 7-1.

Abstract: A method and system is provided for visually representing data processing operations in a data processing system. An action feedback message is provided for a particular data processing operation. It includes a non-textual message component. Communication between an operator and the data processing system is monitored for requests for performance of the particular data processing operation. For each time a particular data processing operation is performed by the data processing system, the action feedback message is automatically displayed on a display of the data processing system, preferably for a predetermined time interval during the performance of the particular data processing operation. The action feedback message may be moved along a predetermined display path on the display of the data processing system during automatic display. Preferably the action feedback message and/or the predetermined display path is located in a region of the display of likely operator focus, as determined from automatic monitoring of operator input to the data processing system. If it is impossible to determine the region of likely operator focus, the display of the action feedback message is delayed until such determination can be made. Additionally, an operation completion message, which includes a non- textual graphical message component, and which differs from the action feedback message, is provided for display upon completion of the particular data processing operation. If operator input activities indicate that the operator is not likely to be focused on the display screen, the operation completion messages are queued for display at a later time, preferably a time during which operator input indicates that the operator is focused on the display screen of the data processing system.

Abstract: A first transistor is connected to a second transistor so that the first and second transistors may be initially biased in a non-conducting state when a first node is at a first voltage potential and a second node is at a second voltage potential. A potential altering circuit selectively alters the voltage potential at the first and second nodes, causes the first and second transistors to be in a conducting state for accelerating a voltage transistion at the first and second nodes toward final values, and maintains the first and second nodes at their final voltage potentials for implementing a desired Boolean function. 
     The biasing circuit is connected to facilitate turning off the first and second transistors when the circuit is being reset for subsequent Boolean evaluations. More specifically, the biasing circuit inhibits current flow through the first and second transistors during a precharge operation to prevent excessive power consumption. 
     The circuit according to the present invention may be employed in a number of logic applications such as simple OR/NOR or AND/NAND circuits, generalized parallel/serial logic networks, comparators, etc.. When employed in a chain, such as in a generalized parallel/serial logic network, NMOS circuit elements may be employed together with gate coupling circuitry to ensure high speed operation with minimum size.

Abstract: For the very low bit rate video and associated audio coding, the audio bitstream spends about similar scale of bandwidth as the video bitstream. The conventional audio and video coding system is usually composed of a constant bit rate audio encoder and a constant bit rate video encoder. However, there are redundancies in the audio signal which can be detected to save the audio encoding bit rate in a variable bit rate coding mode. 
     The coding system comprises a variable bit rate audio encoder which is able to generate skipped audio frames to save the bits. The audio encoder reports the bit saving to a bit rate allocator, which calculates the available bits for the current picture coding based on the value of audio bit saving, the previous picture coding spending and the fullness of a FIFO buffer. 
     Depending on the bits available for the current picture coding, a coding mode selector selects a picture coding mode from an I picture coding, a P picture coding or an extra P picture insertion. Once the picture coding mode is selected, a variable bit rate video encoder is used. 
     The coded variable audio and video bitstreams are sent to a FIFO buffer for the generation of a constant system bitstream output by a system multiplexer.
