  • Patent number: 7315203
    Abstract: A D-class audio power amplifier including a microprocessor, a power amplifier, and a low pass filter is provided. The microprocessor is used to sample an input audio signal and output a pulse width modulation (PWM) clock signal. The power amplifier is used to amplify the power of the PWM clock signal and output a power-amplified signal. The low-pass filter is used to filter the high-frequency signal portion off the power-amplified signal and output an output audio signal. The method includes sampling the input audio signal to obtain a number of digital sampling values; obtaining corresponding duty cycles according to the digital sampling values and a reference voltage level and generating the PWM clock signal accordingly; power-amplifying the PWM clock signal to obtain the power-amplified signal; and filtering the high-frequency signal portion off the power-amplified signal to obtain the output audio signal.

  • Publication number: 20070299958
    Abstract: A method for state synchronization, performed by a first electronic apparatus, comprises the following steps. A first service state version identification (ID) is acquired from a local cache of the first electronic apparatus. Multiple second service state version IDs stored in local caches of second electronic apparatuses are acquired by querying the second electronic apparatuses. It is determined whether each second service state version ID is older than the first service state version ID. A forward update request is transmitted to at least one second electronic apparatus owning the older second service state version ID, enabling the second electronic apparatus owning the older second service state version ID to activate an upward check procedure to update the older second service state version ID.

  • Patent number: 7312815
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for color calibration for calibrating an input color. A target color represented by a first coordinate pair (X1, Y1). An input color, which is to be calibrated, is represented by a second coordinate pair (X2, Y2) and can be adjusted with a chrominance parameter Pb and a chrominance parameter Pr. The first coordinate pair (X1, Y1) and the second coordinate pair (X2, Y2) are compared to obtain a state. In response to the state, Pb and Pr are adjusted until the second coordinate pair is equal to the first coordinate pair. Therefore, the input color is calibrated to match the target color.
