  • Patent number: 11911708
    Abstract: A body mounting assembly, model vehicle, and method for engaging a model vehicle body to a model vehicle chassis are provided. The body mounting assembly includes a latch assembly. The latch assembly further includes a latch member with a latch engagement surface. The body mounting assembly also includes a retainer assembly. The retainer assembly further includes a retainer engagement surface. The latch assembly is releasably engaged to the retainer assembly when the latch engagement surface and the retainer engagement surface are interlock together. The latch engagement surface and the retainer engagement surface comprise negative engagement angles. A body mount able to be coupled to a model vehicle body includes one of the latch assembly or the retainer assembly and a chassis mount able to be coupled to the model vehicle chassis includes the other corresponding retainer assembly or the latch assembly corresponding to the body mount.

  • Patent number: 8553145
    Abstract: An image de-interlacing method comprises: (a) defining a first threshold value and a second threshold value, wherein the second threshold value is larger than the first threshold value; (b) generating a parameter according to motion level of a interlaced image; and (c) utilizing a first interpolation method and a second interpolation method to jointly process the interlaced image if the parameter is in a range between the first threshold value and the second threshold value.

  • Patent number: 7961253
    Abstract: A display controller capable of detecting data line similarity is provided. The display controller includes a buffer for temporarily storing a plurality of data lines of a target field, a data line similarity detector, coupled to the buffer, for detecting a similarity of each data line of the target field, a data line state recorder for recording the similarity of each data line of the target field, a de-interlacer coupled to the buffer, and a scaler coupled to the de-interlacer, wherein the de-interlacer selectively de-interlaces the target field according to the content stored in the data line state recorder in order to generate a de-interlaced output, and the scaler generates a scaling output according to the de-interlaced output.

  • Patent number: 7940330
    Abstract: An edge adaptive de-interlacing apparatus and method are disclosed. The edge adaptive de-interlacing apparatus includes a complexity detection module, a qualifier, a comparator and a mixer. The complexity detection module detects complexity associated with a target pixel. The qualifier is coupled to the complexity detection module for generating similarity of at least one possible edge angle in response to the complexity. The comparator is coupled to the qualifier for comparing the similarity of the at least one possible edge to select a preferred edge angle. The mixer is coupled to the comparator for generating pixel data of the target pixel according to the preferred edge angle.

  • Publication number: 20050225671
    Abstract: A method for processing image fields is provided. The method includes determining similarities of first data lines of a first plurality of couples of fields among a plurality of fields by detecting similarities of pixels of the first data lines of the first plurality of couples of fields, and generating television image signals relative to the first data lines of a plurality of couples of adjacent fields among the plurality of fields by utilizing the first data lines of the plurality of couples of adjacent fields according to a predetermined rule when a first predetermined pattern is detected from said similarities of said first data lines of the first plurality of couples of fields.

  • Publication number: 20050116910
    Abstract: A video regulating module and method for mitigating flicker of an LCD device, wherein the method has acts of: supplying a pure color signal contained with brightness and gray scale information to the LCD device; measuring optical characteristics of the LCD device; generating compensating parameters directed to the pure color signal; and storing the compensating parameters in the LCD device. Therefore, when a video signal is input to the LCD device, the stored compensating parameters are applied to compensate the video signal to eliminate the flicker problem and obtain superior image quality.
