  • Publication number: 20170271780
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices relating to an antenna element and to an antenna array. A three level antenna element provides wideband coverage as well as dual polarization. Each of the three levels is a substrate with a conductive patch with the bottom level being spaced apart from the ground plane. Each of the three levels is spaced apart from the other levels with the spacings being non-uniform. The antenna element may be slot coupled by way of a cross slot in the ground plane. The antenna element, when used in an antenna array, may be surrounded by a metallic fence to heighten isolation from other antenna elements.

  • Patent number: 9588880
    Abstract: An adaptive memory address translation method includes the following steps. Multiple request instructions are received. A memory address corresponding to each request instruction includes a bank address. The memory addresses corresponding to the request instructions are translated, such that the bank addresses corresponding to at least one part of the any two adjacent request instructions are different. A numerical translation is utilized to translate the memory addresses corresponding to the request instructions, such that the memory addresses corresponding to the any two adjacent request instructions have less different bits.

  • Patent number: 8966192
    Abstract: A memory control system includes a first queue unit, a second queue unit, a first transforming unit, a second transforming unit, an arbiter and a control unit. The first queue unit temporarily stores multiple first request instructions. The second queue unit temporarily stores multiple second request instructions. The first transforming unit selectively re-assigns memory addresses corresponding to these first request instructions. The second transforming unit selectively re-assigns memory addresses corresponding to these second request instructions. The arbiter performs immediate scheduling of the one or more first request instructions and the one or more second request instructions to the memory. The control unit compares bandwidths of the one or more first request instructions with bandwidths of the one or more second request instructions, and controls the first transforming unit and the second transforming unit to perform re-assigning operations or not according to compared results.

    Abstract: A chip device with a number of individually powered parts, such as photoreceptors. A mesh is provided to provide power to the individual photoreceptors. The mesh may be provided for ground and power and/or both. The mesh may be on different layers, so that one portion of the mesh is exactly over the other portion of the mesh. The mesh takes up a portion of real estate on the chip in between the individual photoreceptors, in locations where image sensing parts cannot be located. In an embodiment, the mesh can be intentionally broken at various locations to optimize the path length.

  • Patent number: 8514310
    Abstract: A method and associated architecture for dividing column readout circuitry in an active pixel sensor in a manner which reduces the parasitic capacitance on the readout line. In a preferred implementation, column readout circuits are grouped and provided with group signaling. Accordingly, only column output circuits in a selected group significantly impart a parasitic capacitance effect on shared column readout lines. Group signaling allows increasing pixel readout rate while maintaining a constant frame rate for utility in large format high-speed imaging applications.

  • Publication number: 20130181880
    Abstract: A low profile wideband multi-beam integrated dual polarization antenna array with compensated mutual coupling effect. Instead of suppressing mutual coupling with post-element-design techniques by attempting to block the reflections between elements, an element of the array is designed using its active impedance, i.e. its impedance with mutual coupling once the element is part of the array. The active impedance is determined using various simulation techniques and the element is then designed such that its impedance is shifted in order to modify its active impedance. This technique does not reduce the mutual coupling itself but instead, compensates for the mutual coupling effect and improves the return loss of the element.
