  • Publication number: 20070196016
    Abstract: A calibration system and a method to be used in an image capture apparatus are disclosed. The calibration system includes a calibration appliance, a feature extraction unit and a processor. The calibration appliance has a plurality of mark points. The plurality of mark points is on the same plane to form a line segment with a known length. The image capture apparatus captures an image. Then based on the captured image, the feature extraction unit extracts at least three image feature points corresponding to the mark points. The processor calculates the inclination angle of the image capture apparatus, and the height between the image capture apparatus and the plane. Besides a line segment with a known length, the mark points corresponding to the image feature points may form a corner with a known angle, two corners with unknown but equal angles, or two line segments with unknown but equal lengths. Convenience for the calibration system is therefore improved.

  • Patent number: 7177783
    Abstract: The invention allows the inclusion of cross-talk coupling and other noise in circuit simulation by considering a resultant glitch in more detail than just its peak value. A set of parameters represents the noise, with an exemplary embodiment using a triangle approximation to a glitch based on a set of three parameters: the peak voltage value, the leading edge slope and the trailing edge slope. These values are then used as the input stimulus to a given cell instance in the network in which the resulting propagated noise values, also in a triangle approximation, are determined by a simulation. The results can be stored as a library so that, given the parameters of the input noise and the particular cell, a simulation can determine the propagated noise through a look-up process. To reduce the space requirements of the library, the dimensionality of the look-up tables can be reduced through the introduction of a set of auxiliary functions to offset error from this reduction.

  • Patent number: 6826736
    Abstract: The present invention presents techniques for considering whether the effects of cross-talk coupling and other noise exceed the noise tolerance of a circuit. One aspect of the present invention uses a set of parameters to represent this noise. An exemplary embodiment uses a triangle or trapezoidal approximation to a glitch based on a set of parameters: the peak voltage value, the width, the leading edge slope and the trailing edge slope. These values are then used as the input of a library to look up the corresponding noise tolerance parameter set values. In a variation, a set of formulae can provide the noise tolerance parameter set values. In an exemplary embodiment, the noise tolerance parameter set is taken to include the minimum peak value for the noise to be possibly harmful and the minimum width value for the noise to be possibly harmful.

  • Publication number: 20040216221
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a dispensing device comprising a dispenser having an upper channel and a bottom opening for storing liquid cleaner; a connecting cup extended downward from the dispenser including at least one aperture on a bottom thereof; and a float in the connecting cup opposite the bottom opening. While the dispenser is mounted in a toilet tank, the float is adapted to either engage with or move away from the bottom opening as the water level in the toilet tank rises or falls. As such, the dispenser is adapted to automatically dispense liquid cleaner to the toilet tank or stop dispensing liquid cleaner to the toilet tank as the float falls or rises.

  • Patent number: 6278964
    Abstract: An approach for simulating hot carrier effects in an integrated circuit (IC) at the circuit level includes generating a hot carrier library of delay data for each cell in the IC, using the hot carrier library data to generate a set of scaled timing data for the IC and using the scaled timing data with a IC performance simulator to simulate the IC operation. The scaled timing data is based upon the cell delay data and time-based switching activity of each cell in the IC.
