  • Publication number: 20130329190
    Abstract: A method of augmenting sight in an individual. The method comprises obtaining an image of a scene using a camera carried by the individual; transmitting the obtained image to a processor carried by the individual; selecting an image modification to be applied to the image by the processor; operating upon the image to create a modified image using either analog or digital imaging techniques, and displaying the modified image on a display device worn by the individual. The invention also relates to an apparatus augmenting sight in an individual. The apparatus comprises a camera, carried by the individual, for obtaining an image of a scene viewed by the individual; a display carried by the individual; an image modification input device carried by the individual; and a processor, carried by the individual. The processor modifies the image and displays the modified image on the display carried by the individual.

  • Patent number: 5699387
    Abstract: A phase locked loop is comprised of a phase-frequency detector for providing to a charge pump up and down pulse signals having pulse widths proportional to phase differences between a pair of signals applied thereto, apparatus for introducing a relative phase difference between a first clock signal and a second signal to provide the pair of signals, the second signal being synchronized with an output signal of the loop, apparatus for providing a third up or down signal to the charge pump offsetting the effect of the introduced phase difference, and apparatus for obtaining a loop control voltage from the charge pump.

  • Patent number: 5459653
    Abstract: A voltage to current converter is formed of a first current steering mirror which includes first binary weighted current mirror transistors and receives an input voltage signal and converts it to an output current. The converter also is formed of a second current mirror which generates a selectable output current, the second current mirror being formed of second binary weighted current mirror transistors. The output currents of the first current steering mirror and second current mirror are added and the sum is provided to the control input of a current controlled oscillator which can be used in a phase locked loop.
