  • Patent number: 8102429
    Abstract: A digital camera system has integrated accelerometers for determining static and dynamic accelerations of the digital camera system. Data relating to static and dynamic accelerations are stored with recorded image data for further processing, such as for correcting image data for roll, pitch and vibrations and for displaying recorded images with a predetermined orientation using information about, e.g., roll. Data may also be used on-the-fly for smear suppression caused by vibrations.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7656561
    Abstract: Lossless, near-lossless, and lossy compression and decompression of digital image data, whereby the image data can be compressed and decompressed on-the-fly with no need for external RAM resources for temporary data storage while compressing/decompressing image data. Implementing the algorithm only requires a very limited amount of silicon and yields very high performance in relation to very low power consumption. The described implementation is optimized for raw image data from a sensor with a Bayer filter pattern but can be used on data from image sensors with ay color filter. The compression algorithm contains a line indexing formation which enables very fast subsampling of an already compressed image and the possibility to decompress only parts of an image—this improves performance and reduces the need for temporary RAM storage greatly when zooming and in postprocessing.

  • Publication number: 20030172493
    Abstract: A hinge mechanism for folding a table leg against a table top includes a body that is attachable to the table top and that has a cavity formed therein, and a pivot having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being connectable to the table leg, the second portion being generally cylindrical and axially displaceable and rotatable between a first rotational position and a second rotational position in the cavity. The second portion of the pivot has a radially protruding first projection and a biasing element that applies a biasing force to urge the pivot in a first direction parallel to the axis of the second portion. Preferably, the cavity includes first and second recesses that receive the first projection when the second portion is displaced in the first direction in the first and second rotational positions, respectively.
