Title: The design methodology of a regular and extensible sorting network circuit for arbitrary size
Inventor: LIU BIN-DA
IPC: G06F7/08
Filed: 2000-06-19
Granted: 2003-09-21
Abstract: The present invention is related to the design methodology of a regular and extensible sorting network circuit for arbitrary size, and is capable of being used to solve the problem of sorting large amount of data. The framework design of the circuit uses the parallel sorting circuit of a constant input, a directly accessible memory (RAM) module of one set of stored sorting data, and a sorting control circuit. Since the invented circuit has the extensible characteristic for arbitrary size, when the amount of data which need to be sorted is increased, it only needs to modify the sorting procedure of the sorting control circuit to achieve the purpose. The advantages of the sorting circuit proposed in the invention are shown as follows: the cost is very low for manufacturing the hardware; and the processing speed is fast since hardware circuit is used to execute the sorting work of large amount of data, such that the invented method is very suitable for the sorting problem where instant signal processing is required.

Inventor: NAKAI JUNICHI
IPC: H01L31/0232
Filed: 2000-12-01
Granted: 2003-08-21
Abstract: In fabricating a microlens array, a transparent resin layer 10 is formed on surfaces of microlenses 18 by coating a phenol resin layer 19 that chemically reacts with the microlenses 18 and thereafter removing the phenol resin layer 19. Since the transparent resin layer 10 is generated by chemical reaction with the microlenses 18, the transparent resin layer 10 can be uniformly formed on the surfaces of the microlenses 18 without deformation of the microlens 18 and deterioration in material thereof. Therefore, the microlens array has the uniform microlenses 18 in shape and quality, a short lens interval and a small ineffective region between the microlenses 18 to obtain a high light condensation rate.

Title: Method for determining pointer moving direction and distance based on the angle displacement of the pointer
Inventor: TU CHANG-CHING
IPC: G06F3/033
Filed: 2001-04-03
Granted: 2002-08-01
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for determining pointer moving direction and distance based on the angle displacement of the pointer. When a pointer, such as a mouse, moves for an unit distance, based on the possible variation of the displacement in 2 π range and by presetting a minimum sampling radial degree Δθ, a mapping table is established by taking the minimum sampling radial degree Δθ as a gap in the 2 π direction variation range. In the mapping table, each sampling radial degree and its variation in the phase coordination form a mapping relation. When the pointer moves, the light source of a light emitting device projects on the pointer and arranges in equal spacing. On the alternatively dark and light stripe rotating axis, a receiving device receives signal reflected by an unit of displacement of dark and light stripe, and transforms the same into an analog signal. By using a A/D converter, the analog signal is transformed into digital signal based on the predetermined minimum sampling radial degree Δθ. Furthermore, based on the mapping table and the variation from the starting radial degree to the final radial degree corresponding to the mapping table, its variation in the phase coordinate is determined. Therefore, based on the variation in the phase coordinate and the located coordinate position, a right moving direction of a corresponding pointer (such as a cursor) on an output device (such as a display) connected to the pointer is determined. Because the sampling number of the analog signal in 2 π cycle range can be 2 π/sampling radial degree Δθ, it is capable of generating 2 π/Δθ order of variation when the pointer (such as a cursor) moves on the output device, thereby greatly increasing the resolution of controlling the variation of the output device.

Title: Trilinear texture filtering with proper texel selection
Inventor: YEH KWO-WOEI
IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 2001-06-15
Granted: 2002-11-01
Abstract: A trilinear texture filtering with proper texel selection is proposed to reduce the memory bandwidth and to eliminate blurring effect. The trilinear texture filtering method reads a pixel's information and calculates the pixel's size and the texture coordinates corresponding to a mipmap texture according to the pixel's information, such as vertex. The trilinear texture filtering method performs a bilinear texture filtering only in a higher resolution mipmap level to get a first color and performs a linear interpolation between the nearest texel color value of the lower resolution mipmap level and the first color to determine a final pixel color value in accordance with the LOD (level of detail) value. Because the invention selects texels more accurately than the typical trilinear texture filtering, the large amount of memory accesses are reduced and the image quality will not be sacrificed.
