Abstract: An image sensor may include an array of imaging pixels arranged in rows and columns. Each column of imaging pixels may include a respective plurality of column output lines. Each column output line may be coupled to a respective subset of the imaging pixels in that column of imaging pixels. Each plurality of column output lines for a given column may be coupled to readout circuitry. Each group of column output lines may share a single respective sample and hold circuit and a single respective analog-to-digital converter. Alternatively, each group of column output lines may have one sample and hold circuit per column output line and each group of column output lines may share a single respective analog-to-digital converter. Alternatively, each group of column output lines may have one sample and hold circuit per column output line and may have one analog-to-digital converter per column output line.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a garment construction comprising an outer waterproof/breatheable fabric layer to which is attached a reticulated foam to space the inner surface of the outer garment layer from the ordinary clothes of a wearer of the garment, which is suitably a jacket, to enable air flow within the garment to remove water vapour through vents provided in the garment. The garment thereby allows the user to perform strenuous activity whilst remaining dry.
