    Patent number: 7385535
    Abstract: A CABAC decoding system includes at least a decoding unit group. Each decoding unit group includes N decoding units connected with each other. The Mth decoding unit receives parameter information for decoding bins and bit streams to be decoded, decodes the bins of the bit streams to be decoded, obtains the decoding result of the current decoding unit bin, and sends the updated parameter information to the (M+1)th decoding unit and an output unit. The CABAC decoding system achieves high decoding rate and keeps a reasonable cost of hardware resource, and thereby provides a high efficient and reasonable decoding solution.

  • Wireless hand-supportable code symbol reading system with automatic communication range dependent control
    Publication number: 20080128512
    Abstract: A wireless code symbol reading system including a wireless hand-supportable code symbol reader in two-way RF communication with a base station operably connected to a host system, by way of an RF-based wireless data communication link having a predetermined RF communication range over which two-way communication of data packets can occur. The wireless hand-supportable code symbol reader is programmed to automatically detect when it is located inside and outside of the predetermined RF communication range. When the wireless reader is inside the RF communication range, then symbol character data is automatically transmitted to the base station, and when the wireless reader is located outside of the RF communication range, then symbol character data is automatically collected and stored in a data packet buffer, until the wireless reader has re-entered its RF communication range.

  • Electronic device
    Publication number: 20080123314
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing, a first connecting element, a second connecting element, and a lens module. In this case, the first connecting element pivots on the housing, and deflects relative to the housing in a first swing direction. The second connecting element pivots on the first connecting element, and deflects relative to the first connecting element in a second swing direction. The lens module connects with the second connecting element. Therefore, because the lens module of the electronic device can be deflected in both the first and the second swing directions, the lens module can retrieve images from a broader scope.

    Abstract: An apparatus for determining multipath correlations among a search range of input data, and a method thereof. The multipath searcher comprises a pseudo noise (PN) code generator, a correlator, and a data combiner. The PN code generator generates a first PN code corresponding to a first multipath component of the input data, postpones a first period based on the search range, then generates a second PN code corresponding to a second multipath component of the input data. The correlator is coupled to the PN code generator, and correlates the input data with the first PN code and the second PN code to produce a first correlation and a second correlation. The data combiner is coupled to the correlator, receives the first and the second correlations to determine a primary multipath component with a higher correlation thereto.

  • THERMALLY SELF-CORRECTING GAIN MODULES AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20080069161
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention are directed to the use of optical gain structures that include alternating layers of gain medium and transparent heat conductors in which the gain medium itself functions as a correction optic. The gain medium changes to an optimum or desired shape because of the thermal changes occurring as the materials of the optical gain structure(s) reach a desired optical output condition. At the desired optical output conditions, the gain medium conforms to a desired shape. The desired shape may be, for example, that of an optical surface of a transparent heat conductor. By designing the initial shape of the gain medium such that the physical contact with the transparent heat conductor is maximized at the desired optical output conditions, conductive heat transfer between the gain medium and heat conductor(s) is maximized at the desired optical output condition.

  • Integrated circuit memory with write assist
    Patent number: 7324368
    Abstract: An integrated circuit memory includes memory cells 2 is connected to a power supply Vdd via a power supply control circuit 4. The power supply control circuit includes a first gate 26 and a second gate 28. The first gate 26 is switched by a write assist circuit so as to be non-conductive when writing to the memory cell 2. The second gate 28 is conductive both when writing to the memory cell 2 and when not writing to the memory cell 2. Accordingly, when a write operation is made a relatively high resistance path is formed through the power supply control circuit 4 compared to when writing is not being performed. This increase in the resistance through the power supply control circuit 4 during write operations induces a dip in the virtual supply voltage provided at the supply output of the power supply control circuit 4 in a manner which assist writes to be made.
