  • Patent number: 6810155
    Abstract: An apparatus for scaling an image composed of pixels by a scale factor is described. The apparatus includes a local image analyzer for identifying from among said pixels a target pixel and a set of pixels proximate to said target pixel and determining a type for the target pixel. The apparatus includes a linear interpolation function that is parameterized by a horizontal linear interpolation coefficient and a vertical linear interpolation coefficient. The apparatus includes an interpolation coefficient generator for defining the horizontal and vertical linear interpolation coefficients. The apparatus includes an image scaler for scaling said image in a neighborhood of the target pixel by the scale factor using the linear interpolation function with the horizontal linear interpolation coefficient and the vertical linear interpolation coefficient. A method of scaling a source image.

  • Patent number: 6589864
    Abstract: A method for defining plural windows with different etching depths simultaneously is disclosed. The method includes steps of (a) forming a photoresist on a substrate having a multiple film structure thereon, (b) exposing a first region of the photoresist to a first exposure dose and a second region of the photoresist to a second exposure dose, (c) obtaining different remaining thickenesses of the photoresist on the first region and the second region by a development, and (d) etching the first region and the second region of the photoresist for forming the plural windows with different etching depths of the multiple film structure.

  • Patent number: 5732175
    Abstract: An improved connector mechanism having a connector coupling nut of a cylindrical tubular configuration with a bore extending therethrough. In one embodiment, the coupling nut has camming slots which align with bayonet pins on the mating adapter serving to draw the connector inwardly to the adapter upon rotation of the coupling nut. A detent window at the end of each camming slot engages and retains the bayonet pins driven slidingly along the camming slots during rotation. A resilient spring member provides stability between the end of the adapter and the internal bore of the coupling nut at the completion of the coupling operation. Variations of spring arrangements force the cylindrical fiber optic terminus, located axially centered within the coupling sleeve, forward to assure pressured abutment with a like mating terminus located opposite at the other end of the adapter.
