Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for transferring data from an imaging device. An image array is used to capture an image arranged in columns and rows of charges held in pixels in the image array. These charges are then transferred through a group of vertical registers to a storage register. Once in the storage register rows which have not been selected for transfer are dumped to a dump drain. Rows that have been selected for transfer continue through the vertical registers until they reach a pair of transfer registers from which the rows are output.

Abstract: A method and system for remotely controlling the desired channel and volume selections of a television receiver and other like devices are disclosed herein. The system comprises a transmitter, receiver and information detector, the latter incorporating logic circuitry. The transmitter converts the selection information to ultrasonic signals, and the receiver converts the ultrasonic signals to pulses applicable to logic circuitry. The logic circuitry is adapted to the television receiver so as to apply the selection information to the television receiver and thereby achieve the desired selection.
