  • Patent number: 6885706
    Abstract: A method for promoting temporal resolution of sequential images is to firstly choose a first visual frame and split it into a plurality of visual blocks according to a predetermined value, then choose a second visual frame. The method then goes to search the second visual frame for mostly resembling respective visual blocks corresponding to every visual block in the first visual frame and estimate the vector displacement of respective corresponding visual blocks of the visual frames. Further, it goes to rebuild a visual frame, estimate the respective pixel values of respective corresponding visual blocks of the visual frames at a time point, combine the pixel values of visual blocks to create the rebuilt visual frame, apply a median-value-filtering procedure upon the rebuilt visual frame, and apply a spatial low-pass filtering procedure upon the rebuilt visual frame, which has undergone the previous procedure.

  • Patent number: 6882339
    Abstract: A plurality of single-induction-loops are inserted in an electromagnetic induction system in which multi-induction-loop is deployed. Deployment of a multi-induction-loop layout is constituted by induction loops with sawtooth-shaped areas and close-like areas formed by -type sections of same and opposite phases for reducing the number of switch in use, completely deploying induction loops of X axis and Y axis on a same common contact, effectively reducing area demand of electromagnetic induction system, and thus increasing effective area of panel board in use. Moreover, in order to further enhance ability of interference immunity of electromagnetic induction system, a plurality of single-induction-loops are inserted around multi-induction-loop for isolating interference of noise to multi-induction-loop and thus relatively increasing linearity and efficiency of electromagnetic induction system.

  • Patent number: 6727439
    Abstract: A pressure sensitive pen is provided. The pressure sensitive pen comprises a core body, an elastic element, a first magnetic body having one coil formed of at least a wire wound around, a second magnetic body, a sliding member, a hollow cylindrical body with an annular element formed therein and an inductance-capacitance type resonant circuit. The resonant circuit is electrically connected with the first magnetic body having the coil wound around. When a force is upward applied on the core body, the force is further applied on the sliding member through the core body such that the sliding member in conjunction with the second magnetic body move upward and make the elastic element deformed, and changing a predetermined distance between the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body, thereby changing an inductance generated by the coil, and the resonance frequency of the resonant circuit is thus changed.
