  • Publication number: 20140165013
    Abstract: A page zooming method for an electronic device includes, firstly, generating operation signals in response to a touch operation applied on a page displayed on a touch screen of the electronic device. Secondly, one touch operation is determined to be a zoom-triggering gesture when a duration of time of pressing the touch screen on one touching point is longer than a first preset duration of time. Thirdly, one slide operation is identified according to the operation signals generated by the touch screen in response to the slide operation. Next, a zooming type and a zooming ratio are determined according to the zoom-triggering gesture and the slide operation. Lastly, the page is zoomed according to the zooming type and zooming ratio. An electronic device using the page zooming method is also provided.

  • Patent number: 7657696
    Abstract: A method for automatically detecting a plurality of parameters for a NAND-Flash memory. A first step of the method may include generating a plurality of address cycles for the NAND-Flash memory. A second step may set an address number parameter of the parameters based on (i) a first number of the address cycles generated and (ii) a status signal generated by the NAND-Flash memory responsive to the address cycles. A third step generally includes generating at least one read cycle for the NAND-Flash memory after determining the address number parameter. A fourth step may set a page size parameter of the parameters based on (i) a second number of the read cycles generated and (ii) the status signal further responsive to the read cycles.

  • Patent number: 7035796
    Abstract: A system with an accompanying method is provided to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of noisy speech by suppressing acoustic background noise. The background noise consists of narrow band noise from rotating machine, audio signals from stereo-loudspeakers of audio entertainment device, and other ambient noise. In this system/apparatus, a microphone senses the speech intermingled with the background noise, and another microphone senses the noisy background. In addition, a measurement sensor is used to measure RPM (revolutions-per-minutes) of the rotating machine and two wires are used to acquire audio signals from the stereo-loudspeakers of the audio entertainment device. Furthermore, to provide better suppression performance for the acoustic audio signals, the characteristics of these loudspeakers are used to compensate for the distortion caused by the loudspeakers. Adaptive comb filters and adaptive FIR filters are applied to estimate the ambient noise and suppress the background noise.
