  • Patent number: 8422557
    Abstract: A motion estimation method for video compression comprises the following steps. First, an initial simplex comprising three points is determined based on motion vectors in blocks of a current frame and a previous frame, and a point having a largest function value among the three points is replaced with a point having a smaller function value to form a simplex. The replacement is repeated until two points of the three points of the simplex converge to a same point. The iteration is performed by downhill simplex search including operations of reflection, expansion, contraction and shrinkage to find a point for replacement. The motion estimation method for video compression can also use multi-reference frames.

    Abstract: A method for switching decoupled plasma nitridation (DPN) processes of different doses, which is able to decrease the switching time, is provided. According to the method, a dummy wafer is inserted into a chamber, a process gas introduced is ignited into plasma, and then a DPN doping process of the next dose is performed on the dummy wafer. The nitrogen concentration of the chamber is thus adjusted rapidly to switch to the DPN process of the next dose. In addition, after several cycles of the above steps are repeated, a dummy wafer is inserted into the chamber, and a complete DPN process of the next dose is performed on the dummy wafer. This process is performed several times before switching to the next DPN process.
