Abstract: Systems and methods for reconstructing super-resolution images under total aliasing based upon translation values. Traditional systems and methods provide for extracting super-resolution (SR) image/s from low-resolution (LR) image/s but include aliasing as a background noise which degrades the performance or include aliasing into an image model which leads to an enormously high computational complexity. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for reconstructing super-resolution images based upon translation values by taking aliasing in consideration by capturing a set of LR images, estimating, using a Fast Fourier Transformation, a set of translation values based upon the set of LR images, obtaining, using a multi-signal classification technique, one or more optimized frequency spectrums based upon the set of translation values and reconstructing one or more SR images based upon the set of translation values.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to image processing, and more particularly to generate a high resolution image from multiple low resolution images. In an embodiment, the system collects a plurality of low resolution images as input, processes the collected images, and generates a high resolution image as output. During this process, the system pre-processes the collected low resolution images, and during this process, at least one characteristic of each of the low resolution image is changed with respect to a reference image. After the pre-processing stage, the images are then enhanced based on a plurality of final enhancement factors that are dynamically determined. Further, the enhanced images are fused to generate the high resolution image.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for externalization, publication, and tracking of knowledge entries in a knowledge database. When a knowledge entry document is created, it is routed to a reviewer's work queue. If the reviewer approves the knowledge entry, it is automatically published to the knowledge base. If the reviewer rejects the knowledge entry, it is sent back to the author. The author may then make changes and resubmit the knowledge entry document or delete the knowledge entry from the system. When a knowledge entry document is published to the knowledge base, it is time stamped with an expiration date. When the knowledge entry expires, it is routed to the original author's revalidation queue. If the author accepts the knowledge entry, the expiration date is reset and the knowledge entry document is returned to the knowledge base. If the author rejects the knowledge entry, it is routed to the author's work queue.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for communicating a configuration operation throughout an integrated circuit chip is disclosed. The present invention receives a configuration operation having a configuration word. The configuration word is stored in a defer register until the configuration word can be communicated to one or more target local configuration registers, which are the registers in which the configuration word is to be stored and/or used. During the time period during which the configuration word is stored in the defer register, subsequent operations including operations having configuration data associated with the configuration word are delayed. In one embodiment, operations are caused to retry if a configuration word is stored in the defer register. The configuration data associated with the configuration word is received after the defer register has been cleared. After the configuration data has been received, subsequent operations are blocked for a predetermined period of time.

Abstract: An improved semiconductor package (10) having a segmented lead frame (14) and (514) is disclosed. The preferred segmented lead frame (14) is divided into essentially identical segments (27) which have planes (22) attached to at least some of the associated individual leads (28). Segmentation of the lead frame (14) allows for the use of planes in inexpensive plastic and ceramic packages. Segmentation further allows the use of inexpensive aluminized stripes (42) to aluminize portions of individual leads (28) even in quad package configurations. An alternate equally preferred segmented lead frame (514) is provided for those applications wherein asymmetrical lead frames are required. Segmentation of the alternate segmented lead frame (514) permits the use of planes (522) and (552), while also limiting the cost of producing the alternate lead frame (514) especially when the etching method of production is required.
