  • Publication number: 20210235065
    Abstract: A method for decoding a compressed image stream, the image stream having a plurality of frames, each frame consisting of a merged image including pixels from a left image and pixels from a right image. The method involves the steps of receiving each merged image; changing a clock domain from the original input signal to an internal domain; for each merged image, placing at least two adjacent pixels into an input buffer and interpolating an intermediate pixel, for forming a reconstructed left frame and a reconstructed right frame according to provenance of the adjacent pixels; and reconstructing a stereoscopic image stream from the left and right image frames. The invention also teaches a system for decoding a compressed image stream.

  • Patent number: 10305514
    Abstract: There is described a multi-mode unrolled decoder. The decoder comprises a master code input configured to receive a polar encoded master code of length N carrying k information bits and N?k frozen bits, decoding resources comprising processing elements and memory elements connected in an unrolled architecture and defining an operation path between the master code input and an output, for decoding a polar encoded code word, at least one constituent code input configured to receive a polar encoded constituent code of length N/p carrying j information bits and N/p?j frozen bits, where p is a power of 2, and at least one input multiplexer provided in the operation path to selectively transmit N/p bits of one of the master code and the constituent code to a subset of the decoding resources.

  • Patent number: 7609778
    Abstract: In a method of data transmission according to one embodiment of the invention, data transitions on adjacent conductors are separated in time. In a method of data transmission according to another embodiment of the invention, signals on adjacent conductive paths pass through different alternating sequences of inversions and regenerations. In a method of data transmission according to a further embodiment of the invention, data transitions having the same clock dependence are separated in space.
