Patent number: 9146283Abstract: A battery tester determines a remaining level of charge of a battery mounted within a separate electronic device having an audio jack. The battery tester includes a plug and a circuit having a high impedance input amplifier. At least one electrical contact of the plug is electrically coupled to an input of the high impedance input amplifier. The plug is removably insertable within the audio jack such that the battery of the separate electronic device is electrically connected to the input of the high impedance input amplifier. When electrically coupled to the battery, an output of the high impedance input amplifier provides a signal proportional to the remaining level of charge of the battery, whereby the remaining level of charge of the battery is obtainable by the battery tester without having to remove the battery from the electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2012Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: NuWave Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Damian Coccio

Patent number: 6301384Abstract: An apparatus and method for efficiently filtering or otherwise processing digital color image data. The invention may be implemented in hardware, firmware or software. In one embodiment, the green color signal is filtered while the blue and red color signal are not filtered. This results in less filtering circuitry and processing time, while retaining the sharpness of the unfiltered signals. Since the human eye is more sensitive to the color green, filtering this color produces the greatest amount of noise reduction per color. Alternative color and filtering arrangements are also disclosed as is file conversion logic.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 1999Date of Patent: October 9, 2001Assignee: NuWave Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Robert I.

Patent number: 6151018Abstract: An apparatus, method and system for improving or otherwise affecting the picture produced from a video signal. The apparatus preferably includes a video signal receiver, a circuit that decodes picture parameter correction information from a received video signal, and a circuit that processes a received video signal based on decoded picture parameter correction information. The correction information is preferably located in the vertical blanking interval of the received video signal. The method includes encoding picture parameter correction information into a vertical blanking interval of a video signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 1998Date of Patent: November 21, 2000Assignee: NuWave Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Robert I. Webb, David Bergeron, Christopher J. Daly
