Patents by Inventor Kun-Wang Liu

Kun-Wang Liu 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).

  • Publication number: 20070094320
    Abstract: A device and method are described that apply 1-D and 2-D discrete cosine transforms (DCT) and inverse discrete cosine transforms (IDCT) to sets of input data, typically 8×8 or 16×16 matricies of coefficients. One device includes input lines, logic to pre-add input values and generate operands and one or more adder networks that effectively carry out the multiplication operations required to apply a DCT/IDCT transform. The device may apply a 1-D transform twice to accomplish a 2-D transform. Alternatively, the device may either include successive stages of logic for the second 1-D transform or it may send data transformed once back through the same logic to pre-add and adder networks for the second 1-D transform. Calculations may be carried out after Booth encoding of operands. The processing may be split between producing vp, a vector of sums of output values, and producing vn, a vector of differences of output values, which vectors may be recombined to produce an output vector v.
