  • Patent number: 9444987
    Abstract: An interactive imaging system includes an image system and a remote controller. The image system includes at least one reference beacon, a receiving unit and a host. The at least one reference beacon emits light in an emission pattern. The receiving unit is configured to receive a packet data. The host controls an enable time of the at least one reference beacon according to the packet data. The remote controller includes an image sensor and a transmission unit. The image sensor captures the light emitted from the at least one reference beacon at a sampling period. The transmission unit sends the packet data corresponding to the sampling period of the image sensor.

  • Patent number: 8325512
    Abstract: SRAM writing system and related apparatus are provided. The writing system of the invention has a dummy replica writing circuit, a negative pulse controller and at least a normal writing circuit; each normal writing circuit includes a write driver and a negative pulse supplier. While writing, the dummy replica writing circuit drives a dummy replica bit-line, such that the negative pulse controller generates a negative pulse control signal according to level of the dummy replica bit-line. In each writing circuit, when the write driver conducts to connect an associated bit-line to a bias end for driving a level transition, the negative pulse supplier switches the bias end from an operation voltage to a different negative pulse voltage according to the received negative pulse control signal.
