Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an integrated chip including an extended via that spans a combined height of a wire and a via and that has a smaller footprint than the wire. The extended via may replace a wire and an adjoining via at locations where the sizing and the spacing of the wire are reaching lower limits. Because the extended via has a smaller footprint than the wire, replacing the wire and the adjoining via with the extended via relaxes spacing and allows the size of the pixel to be further reduced. The extended via finds application for capacitor arrays used for pixel circuits.

Abstract: A method for transmitting audio and visual data over a communication means. If the bandwidth over a communication means drops below a predetermined level a video conference system can begin transmitting visual data in a QCIF format, another system receiving the data and scaling the data from the QCIF format to a CIF format. In another embodiment of the invention if the bandwidth drops below a first or second predetermined level the audio format can be altered to lower the bandwidth requirements accordingly. In a third embodiment the methods for lowering the utilized bandwidth of the audio and visual data can be used in conjunction with each other.

Abstract: The present invention provides a videoconference system, suitable for a plurality of participant units join the conference. The videoconference system comprises a central control unit, a video decoding unit and a video encoding unit. Wherein, the central control unit receives the individual video data streams of a plurality of participant units, and selectively outputs the video data streams of part of all participant units. The video decoding unit receives the individual video data streams that are chosen, disassembles the audio signal and the video signal of the individual video data stream, and then mixes the disassembled audio signals and the disassembled video signals into an audio mixed signal and a video mixed signal respectively. The video encoding unit receives the audio mixed signal and the video mixed signal, encodes the audio mixed signal and the video mixed signal to a video mixed data stream, and then sends the video mixed data stream to the participant units.

Abstract: Video-on-demand system and method to reduce bandwidth of user network, applied for reducing the bandwidth of a common video information received within a time interval for multiple users. When the time interval between the first user and the second user is within a certain range, the need for a common video information is determined. If a common video information is selected, the channel that the first user terminal receives the video information and the receiving time thereof are inspected. An unused channel of the second user terminal is used to output the video information received by the first user terminal within the receiving time as a front video information. Meanwhile, the video information that the first user terminal is recording is referred as the rear video information. After using the front video information, the second user terminal keeps using the recorded rear video information.

Abstract: An internet-television system includes a web appliance that adds graphical lines and identifiers to internet content displayed on a television. Internet content is often difficult to view on a television screen due to factors such as poor resolution, further viewing distance, high definition graphics etc. The invention provides a web appliance with means to add graphical lines and identifiers to displayed internet content. The graphical lines breaks the internet content into a plurality of sections each with a corresponding identifier. A user can then input an identifier using a device such as a remote control. A section corresponding to the identifier can then be enlarged for easier viewing. In another embodiment of the invention a link appearing in a section can be selecting by inputting a corresponding identifier.
