  • Publication number: 20150035953
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for stereoscopic numerical aberration compensation. One embodiment of this may be implemented as a software module which may be invoked after the display content has been copied, as in the case of prepared content such as a movie, or rendered, as in the case of dynamically-generated content, such as a game or design visualization application. This scheme windows the image in the frame buffer in-place, as a final processing step prior to transmission to the display. A less-tightly-integrated embodiment modifies the data during transmission, with minimal additional buffering.

  • Patent number: 7818357
    Abstract: A CORDIC processor is configured to perform orthogonal or oblique CORDIC projections in order to cancel interference in a received signal. The CORDIC projection can be used to rotate an interference signal vector so that its only non-zero component is in the last Euclidean coordinate of the representative vector. A measurement vector is then subject to the same rotations as the interference vector. As a result of the rotation on the measurement vector, all components of the measurement vector parallel to the interference vector will be resolved onto the same coordinate as the rotated interference vector. The parallel components of the symbol vector can be cancelled by zeroing that coordinate, and the modified measurement vector can then be rotated back to its original coordinates, to produce an orthogonally projected version of the original measurement vector. Typically, the projection is onto a subspace that is orthogonal or oblique to an interference subspace, which may be one-dimensional.

  • Publication number: 20070239811
    Abstract: A cascaded multiplier is configured for multiplying an input value by one of a predetermined set of coefficients. Each multiplier stage performs a set of elementary operations, including shifting, signal selection, addition, and subtraction. Each multiplier stage is responsive to at least one input control signal to control at least one elementary operation for selecting the coefficient. The cascaded multiplier may include a right-shift register.

  • Publication number: 20070061390
    Abstract: An interpolator comprises a delay line, a state-variable computer coupled to the delay line and configured to compute initial conditions for at least one interpolation interval, an integrator stack coupled to the state-variable computer and configured to process the initial conditions, and a direct load of state variables for producing a sequence of interpolated output samples. The interpolator's filter order and polynomial order may be selected independently. The filter order may exceed the polynomial order. The state-variable computer may be made computationally efficient in order to approximate general interpolator designs.
