Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include an apparatus for bump translation. In an embodiment, the apparatus includes a substrate with a first bump field with a first height and a first depth on the substrate, where the first depth is orthogonal to the first height, and where the first bump field further comprises a first pitch in a direction of the first height. In an embodiment, the apparatus includes a second bump field with a second height and a second depth on the substrate, where the second depth is orthogonal to the second height, and where the second bump field comprises a second pitch in a direction of the second height, where the second pitch is smaller than the first pitch. Embodiments include a third bump field with a third height and the second depth, where a sum of the second height and the third height is equal to the first height.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices and methods to facilitate compensating for intra-pair skew in a high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) system. One or more skew training pattern may be transmitted on a signal line including a differential pair. Acknowledgment of receiving the skew training pattern may be received on a display data channel (DDC) associated with HDMI system. The skew training pattern may be used to ascertain and compensate for intra-pair skew.

Abstract: A method for training the lanes of a main data link includes setting an initial lane voltage swing and conducting link at the initial value, and determining if link training was successful. If link training at the initial value of lane voltage swing was not successful, the value of lane voltage swing is incremented to a predetermined value. A determination is made as to whether the predetermined value of lane voltage swing exceeds a threshold value, and link training is ended if the predetermined value of lane voltage exceeds the threshold value. If the predetermined value of lane voltage swing does not exceed the threshold value, link training is conducted at the predetermined value of lane voltage swing until link training is successful or until a predetermined number of attempts at the predetermined value of lane voltage swing fail to successfully train the link.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for automated image enhancement. Attribute measurements are extracted from a digital image and used for the generation of at least a noise threshold parameter, a sharpness parameter and a radicality parameter. The noise threshold parameter and sharpness parameter are evaluated to determine the degree of noise reduction and the degree of sharpening to be performed, collectively a determined enhancement. The determined enhancement is applied to derive a nominally enhanced image. With respect to the radicality parameter, the output image is the weighted average between the initial image and the nominally enhanced image.

Abstract: A reflector includes a body that defines an optical surface. A reflective surface is disposed on the optical surface including a stack of dielectric layers defining at least one notch filter.

Abstract: Stationery, or other printable media, is encoded with a digital watermark. The watermark is not conspicuous to a human observer of the media, yet conveys plural bits of auxiliary information when optically scanned and digitally processed. The watermark can be formed by ink-jet printing, or otherwise. The encoded information can be used for various purposes, including authenticating the document as an original, linking to associated on-line resources, and distinguishing seemingly-identical versions of the same document (document serialization).

Abstract: The disclosure details methods and systems for watermark encoding and decoding. In one implementation a method is provided to detect steganographic indicia embedded in a streaming media signal. The method includes receiving a streaming media signal; caching selected portions of the streaming media signal; detecting steganographic indicia from cached portions of streaming content; and carrying out an action based at least in part on detection of the steganographic indicia. Additional solutions, methods and implementations are detailed in the disclosure.

Abstract: A method for characterizing objects within an image is presented. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a representative color of an object is first identified from an image. The contour of this same object is then determined by identifying regions of the image where the identified color changes to another color. Color and contour data from other images of the same object may be obtained using the above described method to compile a range of colors and a range contours which represent the object. This color and contour data (known as the “object signature”) is then associated with a name for this particular object and stored. Once an object signature has been defined for a particular object, a database of images may be searched to identify images which include objects matching the object signature. For example, once an object signature for a mountain is determined, this object signature may be used to search a database for all images which include a mountain.
