Patents by Inventor Edoardo Gallizio

Edoardo Gallizio has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8249206
    Abstract: A method of channel estimation in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing communication employing three or more subcarriers, wherein frequency correlation exists between the subcarriers. The method includes: calculating a coarse channel estimate for each of the subcarriers, and calculating from the coarse channel estimates refined channel estimates for each of the subcarriers, wherein calculation of the refined channel estimates includes calculating the parameters of a Wiener Filter having a length of 2 L+1, where L is a positive integer, and filtering the coarse channel estimates with the Wiener Filter.

  • Patent number: 8224107
    Abstract: A system renders a primitive of an image to be displayed, for instance in a mobile 3D graphic pipeline, the primitive including a set of pixels. The system locates the pixels in the area of the primitive, generates, for each pixel located in the area, a set of associated sub-pixels, borrows a set of sub-pixels from neighboring pixels, subjects the set of associated sub-pixels and the borrowed set of pixels to adaptive filtering to create an adaptively filtered set of sub-pixels, and further filters the adaptively filtered set of sub-pixels to compute a final pixel for display. Preferably, the set of associated sub-pixels fulfills at least one of the following: the set includes two associated sub-pixels and the set includes associated sub-pixels placed on pixel edges.
