Abstract: An embodiment of a receiver is proposed. The receiver includes a buffer element for receiving an input signal continuously, synchronization means for synchronizing the input signal by monitoring a buffer signal corresponding to the input signal within the buffer element at a corresponding monitoring time for determining a complete reception of at least one preamble signal within the buffer signal at a reception time, and by synchronizing the input signal according to the detection of the complete reception of the at least one preamble signal, and extraction means including at least one operative block configurable in an extraction phase for extracting a data signal associated with the at least one preamble signal from the input signal. In an embodiment, the synchronization means shares said at least one operative block with the extraction means; said at least one operative block is configurable in a synchronization phase for synchronizing the input signal.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of picture processing for a display device, characterized by the steps of processing input picture signals (R,G,B) in a non-linear manner so as to produce output picture signals (R?,G?,B?) for the device, such non-linear processing being responsive to parameters (Y,S,H) of the input picture signals (R,G,B).

Abstract: A processing module converts an input signal, which is generated in a computer system device, into a digital output signal at a video output. The digital output signal is adapted to be visualized by a display device. The processing module includes a scaler for scaling a resolution of the output signal to match a resolution of the display device. The processing module can be combined with a display adapter which incorporates a graphical processor and memory. Furthermore, the processing module may include a selector for selecting a resolution for the output signal, corresponding to a resolution of the display device.

Abstract: In a LCD monitor, a predetermined part (PA) of the displayed information is highlighted by causing the backlighting (BLU) to produce more light. The area outside the predetermined area (PA) is kept at a substantially constant brightness by adjusting the video data driving the panel (LCD). A booster (BO) is added to control the lamp (BLL) such that the amount of light produced by the backlighting (BLU) increases in a controlled and predictable way so the user does not notice a transition in terms of brightness in the area outside the predetermined area (PA).

Abstract: In a LCD monitor, a predetermined part (PA) of the displayed information is highlighted by causing the backlighting to produce more light. The area outside the predetermined area (PA) is kept at a substantially constant brightness by adjusting the video data driving the panel. The actual amount of light produced by the backlighting is measured to obtain a more constant brightness outside the predetermined area (PA).

Abstract: In a novel liquid crystal cell overdrive method, the actual voltage, on the liquid crystal cell (11), resulting the previous frame drive operation is measured, and the amount of the overdrive voltage is evaluated from this actually measured voltage. This method allows implementing the overdriving method without the use of a frame memory because it uses the intrinsic capacitance (CLC) of the liquid crystal cell (11) as a memory element. Moreover, this method allows a more accurate overdrive amount because its evaluation is based on the actual voltage present at the liquid crystal cell (11) resulting from the previous frame.

Abstract: A computer system (11) comprises a computer (2) and a monitor (5), the computer being provided with a mouse (4) as an input device, the monitor being provided with On Screen Display (OSD) facility. The computer is adapted to send control information (MSI) regarding the status of the mouse to the monitor. The monitor is adapted to evaluate the control information (MSI) received from the computer, and to adjust a relevant operational parameter.
