  • Patent number: 8391698
    Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing Z-buffer generation in a camera are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment the method may comprise exposing a plurality of pixels on an image capture device to a modulated light signal reflected from different regions of a scene adjacent a camera after different delays. The method may also comprise correlating intensity of the modulated light signal received by the image capture device for each the different delays to determine a flight time of the modulated light signal. The method may also comprise generating a Z-buffer corresponding to the different regions of the scene based on the correlation.

  • Patent number: 7983548
    Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing Z-buffer generation in a camera are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment the method may comprise actuating a light sensor after various delays to receive a plurality of modulated light signals reflected from different regions of a scene adjacent a camera. The method may also include determining distance information for the different regions of the scene based on brightness values for the plurality of modulated light signals reflected from the scene for the various delays. The method may also include storing the distance information in a Z-buffer at the camera.

  • Patent number: 7112937
    Abstract: A motor control device having memory for storing data indicative of a control mode and a pulse width modulation (PWM) value and logic that applies the pulse width modulation value to a voltage provided to a motor if the data indicative of the control mode indicates voltage mode. The logic further controls the voltage applied to the motor based upon a motor set point value representative of the data indicative of the pulse width modulation value when the data indicative of the control mode indicates current mode.

  • Patent number: 5890221
    Abstract: An interleaved data cache array which is divided into two sub arrays is provided for utilization within a data processing system. Each subarray includes a plurality of cache lines wherein each cache line includes a selected block of data, a parity field, a first content addressable field containing a portion of an effective address for the selected block of data, a second content addressable field contains a portion of the real address for the selected block of data and a data status field. By utilizing two separate content addresssable fields for the effective address and real address offset and alias problems may be efficiently resolved. A virtual address aliasing condition is identified by searching each cache line for a match between a portion of a desired effective address and the content of the first content addressable field.

  • Patent number: 5668972
    Abstract: A data cache array which includes a plurality of cache lines wherein each cache line includes a selected block of data, a parity field, a content addressable field containing at least a portion of an address for that block of information and a data status field for providing an indication of data validity within that cache line. An allocation control cell is associated with each cache line and a pseudo least recently utilized (PLRU) logic circuit is provided within the data cache array for each group of cache lines. The pseudo least recently utilized (PLRU) logic circuit is then utilized to select and set a particular allocation control cell within each group of cache lines in response to utilization of those cache lines.
