Patent number: 7517039Abstract: The velocity of a printhead scanning across a sheet of paper or other print medium is varied on the basis of whether masking patterns for selectively activating nozzle of the printhead include activations in consecutive pixel locations of the masking pattern. The pixel locations are “firing opportunities” as defined by the maximum firing frequency assigned to the nozzles when the printhead is scanned at a particular velocity. The printhead is moved at that velocity when a masking pattern includes activation in consecutive pixel locations. On the other hand, a higher scanning velocity is available when a constraint is enforced to prevent occasions of firings in consecutive pixel locations. In one embodiment, the constraint is not enforced, but masking patterns are analyzed on a pattern-by-pattern basis to detect those patterns which satisfy the constraint, so that the scanning velocity can be increased during the suitable masking patterns.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2005Date of Patent: April 14, 2009Assignee: Marvell International Technology Ltd.Inventors: Todd Alan McClelland, Gregory Frank Carlson, Ronald Gregory Paul, Steven Michael Goss, Randall Lee Stockberger

Publication number: 20050259881Abstract: Geometry and view data relating to a image sequences is transmitted from a server to a client computer. Such enables reconstruction of images by a client with reduced bandwidth for the image stream transmission. A previous-image mesh of coordinates and depth values for selected pixels from the array of pixels in a previous-image is generated at the server. The depth values are transmitted to the client. A change-in-view matrix is generated at the server and transmitted to the client. Such represents the change in viewing parameters between the previous-image and a current-image. The change-in-view matrix is applied to the previous-image mesh to create a current-image mesh, independently at both the server and at the client. Such is applied to the previous-image to generate a predicted current-image. The current-image is generated at the server and a difference between the current-image and the predicted current-image is computed.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2004Publication date: November 24, 2005Inventor: Michael Goss

Publication number: 20050253872Abstract: A method for culling visual data streams. Specifically, one embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for culling view dependent visual data streams for a virtual environment. The method begins by determining a view volume of a viewing participant within the virtual environment. The view volume determines a field-of-view of the viewing participant within the virtual environment. The embodiment of the method then determines a proximity of a representation of an observed object in the virtual environment to the view volume. Thereafter, the embodiment of the method processes a view dependent visual data stream of the observed object only when the representation is within a specified proximity to the view volume.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2003Publication date: November 17, 2005Inventors: Michael Goss, Daniel Gelb, Thomas Malzbender

Patent number: 6841483Abstract: Method for etching a feature in an integrated circuit wafer with minimized effect of micromasking. The method introduces a flow of etchant gas including a fluorocarbon gas to the wafer, and uses the etchant gas to form a plasma in proximity with at least a portion of the wafer. The plasma is used to etch at least a portion of the feature in the wafer. Disassociation of the fluorocarbon into fluorine and hydrocarbon species performs two functions. The fluorine species prevents or significantly reduces sputtered hardmask components from depositing on the floor of the etched feature during etching. The hydrocarbon species acts to form a passivation layer on the sidewalls of the feature.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2001Date of Patent: January 11, 2005Assignee: Lam Research CorporationInventors: Helen H. Zhu, James R. Bowers, Ian J. Morey, Wayne Babie, Michael Goss

Patent number: 6670278Abstract: The invention provides a process for plasma etching silicon carbide with selectivity to an overlapping and/or underlying dielectric layer of material. The etching gas includes a hydrogen-containing fluorocarbon gas such as CH3F, an oxygen-containing gas such as O2 and an optional carrier gas such as Ar. The dielectric material can comprise silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride or various low-k dielectric materials including organic low-k materials. In order to achieve a desired selectivity to such dielectric materials, the plasma etch gas chemistry is selected to achieve a desired etch rate of the silicon carbide while etching the dielectric material at a slower rate. The process can be used to selectively etch a hydrogenated silicon carbide etch stop layer or silicon carbide substrates.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2001Date of Patent: December 30, 2003Assignee: Lam Research CorporationInventors: Si Yi Li, Helen H.
