  • Patent number: 8279272
    Abstract: A method and system for presenting both autostereoscopic images and planar images in a single display is disclosed. The design comprises processing the planar images received in the form of planar image data. The processing comprises at least one from a group comprising selectively employing bleed-through processing to enhance the planar image data when viewed through a lens sheet comprising slanted lenticules, selectively introducing blurring into the planar image data, and selectively employing anti-alias processing to the planar image data. Certain super pixels may be computed that differ from standard pixels, and lenticules in the data sheet may be slanted at desired angles. The physical lenticules may cause bleed-through that may be processed. Resolution may be computed after processing, and the resolution implemented for display. Mode switching between planar and autostereoscopic imaging may be provided in the form of Metadata or visible flags.

  • Patent number: 8264274
    Abstract: A charge pump apparatus comprises a plurality of charge pump stages. The charge pump stages each include a respective output node. Output nodes are connected to charge boosting circuitry and to precharge circuitry. The charge boosting circuit receives one or more clock signals. The precharge circuits have a first state allowing the respective pump-stage output node to fluctuate at a level above a standby wordline voltage, and a second state coupling the respective pump-stage output node to the standby wordline voltage.

  • Patent number: 8264056
    Abstract: A Schottky diode comprises an ohmic layer that can serve as a cathode and a metal layer that can serve as an anode, and a drift channel formed of semiconductor material that extends between the ohmic and metal layers. The drift channel includes a heavily doped region adjacent to the ohmic contact layer. The drift channel forms a Schottky barrier with the metal layer. A pinch-off mechanism is provided for pinching off the drift channel while the Schottky diode is reverse-biased. As a result, the level of saturation or leakage current between the metal layer and the ohmic contact layer under a reverse bias condition of the Schottky diode is reduced.

  • Patent number: 8263528
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for providing flowers characterized in that they have the look and feel of fresh flowers. The method comprises a selection and cutting step, a step of setting up holder devices on grids, and three optionally repeatable dehydration, infiltration and evaporation steps. The present invention does not require the use of molecular sieves during the method. The method is also technically advanced and can therefore be implemented on an industrial scale.

  • Patent number: 8261506
    Abstract: Described is a simple and inexpensive method of manufacturing a floor panel (2) with which a floor panel (2) can be produced with a beveled or recessed edge (10a, 10b, 25, 26), a top surface layer (4) extending continuously and in one piece from a top side (3a) of a core (3) over the beveled edge (10a, 10b, 25, 26). A panel body (12) is first of all provided with a core (3, 13), a top side (3a, 13a) of the core (3, 13) being provided with a top surface layer (4). A recess (15) is then formed from a side surface (13b) into the panel body (12), the recess extending under the top surface layer (4) and leaving a freestanding ledge (16) which includes the top surface layer (4). The recess (15) is then closed by fixing the first and second recess surfaces (15a, 15b) to one another.

  • Patent number: 8254302
    Abstract: A user location monitoring unit of a data communication control apparatus monitors a message sent from a wireless device via a repeater. Upon detection of a change in the location of the wireless device, the user location monitoring unit updates the location information in the database and notifies via the Internet a management server of the location change. Upon receipt of the message via the Internet, a destination address confirming and correcting unit of the data communication control apparatus uses the user ID of a destination wireless device as a search keyword to search the database. In turn, the destination address confirming and correcting unit corrects the destination address of the message to the latest address of the pertinent user ID and outputs the corrected message to a received message forwarding unit.
