  • Method and system for automatically counting physical objects within a periphery band and an excluded region
    Patent number: 9721349
    Abstract: A periphery band is around an excluded region. For automatically counting physical objects within the periphery band and the excluded region, an imaging sensor captures: a first image of the periphery band and the excluded region; and a second image of the periphery band and the excluded region. In response to the first image, a first number is counted of physical objects within the periphery band and the excluded region. Relevant motion is automatically detected within the periphery band, while ignoring motion within the excluded region. In response to the second image, a second number is counted of physical objects within the periphery band and the excluded region. In response to determining that a discrepancy exists between the detected relevant motion and the second number, the discrepancy is handled.

  • Data-dependent, logic-level drive scheme for driving LCD panels
    Publication number: 20060250324
    Abstract: System and method for driving an LCD using a data-dependent, logic-level drive scheme. A preferred embodiment comprises determining a desired state of each pixel in an LCD pixel segment, deriving a drive waveform based upon the state of all pixels in the LCD pixel segment, and outputting the drive waveform to the LCD pixel segment. By using the states of all the pixels in the LCD pixel segment in the determination of the drive waveform, it is possible to increase the on and off voltage to help improve display quality.
