Publication number: 20140333608Abstract: There is provided a display driver IC including an image memory which stores display data supplied from a host processor, a timing controller which reads the display data from the image memory and drives a connected display panel, and an internal clock oscillation circuit which supplies an internal clock to the timing controller. An oscillation frequency of the internal clock oscillation circuit is calibrated on the basis of an external clock supplied from an external device. An operation of the host processor which supplies the external clock can be suspended, thereby reducing power consumption of a display apparatus as a whole. Therefore, an expensive oscillation vibrator is not necessary, and thus it is possible to minimize an increase in a cost of the display apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2014Publication date: November 13, 2014Applicant: Renesas SP Drivers Inc.Inventors: Yosuke Okairi, Kota Kitamura

Patent number: 8886461Abstract: A method for detecting inland barrier (16, 16?) crossings (24, 26, 30) using speed layers from community input probe traces in combination with a digital map. Inland barrier crossing specifications are detected and/or validated using information about the speed of probes that actually cross the barrier (16, 16?). A bridge (26) across the inland barrier (16) is inferred if the velocity average for barrier crossing probe traces is greater than an established threshold value. Conversely, a ferry (24) is inferred if the average velocity for barrier crossing probe traces is less than the established threshold value. When there is a prominent gap in the data for the barrier crossing probe traces, a tunnel (30) is inferred.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2010Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: TomTom Polska Sp. z.o.o.Inventor: Łukasz Twardowski

Publication number: 20140317420Abstract: The present invention relates to a secure memory storage system. In particular there is a data storage device having a receiver for receiving data, an encrypted persistent memory to store received data and a transmission control device physically independent of the data storage device. The apparatus is arranged such that when a connection between the transmission control device and the data storage device is established, transmission of data between the data storage device and a further device (e.g. a PC) is enabled. Wireless connection between the transmission control device and data storage device is not established, and transmission of data between the data storage device and the further device (e.g. PC) is non-enabled. The transmission control device therefore controls data transfer between the data storage device and the further device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2013Publication date: October 23, 2014Applicant: Knightsbridge Portable Communications SPInventor: Lewis DANIELS
