Patent number: 10484685Abstract: An exemplary method for intelligent compression defines a threshold value for a key performance indicator. Based on the key performance indicator value, data blocks generated by a producer component may be scaled down to reduce power and/or bandwidth consumption when being compressed according to a lossless compression module. The compressed data blocks are then stored in a memory component along with metadata that signals the scaling factor used prior to compression. Consumer components later retrieving the compressed data blocks from the memory component may decompress the data blocks and upscale, if required, based on the scaling factor signaled by the metadata.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2017Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Serag Gadelrab, Chinchuan Chiu, Moinul Khan, Kyle Ernewein, Tom Longo, Simon Booth, Meghal Varia, Milivoje Aleksic, King-Chung Lai

Patent number: 10074463Abstract: A method for making a high-temperature winding cable is winding a tinned copper line around a coaxial line, signal lines and power lines after being assembled together, lapping the rim of the tinned copper line with a packaging material of Polytetrafluoroethene, and then, extruding an insulating layer of thermoplastic material on the rim of the packaging material, and finally, extruding an outer cover of fluororubber on the outer rim of the insulating layer, thereby forming a cable; sintering the cable; winding the sintered cable clockwise around and fixing it to a iron bar; cooling the wound cable; and finally, taking down the wound cable from the iron bar by rewinding it counterclockwise so as to obtain a high-temperature winding cable. The winding cable so made is not melt, damaged, and retains elasticity after the impact of high temperature 260° C.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2015Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: VADD TECH INC.Inventor: King-Chung Huang

Publication number: 20150372367Abstract: A transmission line structure includes a bandage member, a signal transmission member, an extrusion cover member and a temperature-resistant cover member. The bandage member which is formed of a bendable insulating material is shaped as a hollow conduit by winding and has a hollow accommodating space. At least one signal transmission line is disposed in the hollow accommodating space by filler, and the filler is filled between the signal wire and the bandage member. The extrusion cover member covers the outside of the bandage member, and is formed of a bendable plastic insulting material. The temperature-resistant cover member covers the outside of the extrusion cover member, and is formed of a bendable temperature-resistant material. The transmission line structure of the present invention is thereby of better structural strength as well as temperature-resistant characteristic.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2014Publication date: December 24, 2015Inventor: King-Chung HUANG

Patent number: 9013511Abstract: This disclosure describes adaptive spatial variant interpolation (SVI) techniques for image upscaling. In various embodiments, the interpolation techniques described in this disclosure may support low complexity upscaling of image while promoting high image quality, including enhanced sharpness, higher contrast and more accurate interpolation. The interpolation techniques may be applied using generalized finite impulse response (FIR) filters. In some embodiments, the interpolation techniques may be content-adaptive to provide more accurate interpolation while suppressing significant artifacts associated with sharp edges. In addition, the interpolation techniques may be readily applicable to upscaling of color imagery and video, e.g., in both YCbCr (luminance, blue chrominance, red chrominance) and RGB (red, green, blue) formats.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2006Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Yi Liang, King-Chung Lai, Khaled Helmi El-Maleh
