  • Patent number: 11183155
    Abstract: Systems and methods for improving perceived image quality with reduced implementation associated cost and/or improved operational efficiency. A display pipeline includes an input buffer that stores input image data corresponding with an image pixel window, in which the input image data has a first bit-depth and includes image data corresponding with an image pixel in the image pixel window. The display pipeline includes bit-depth adjustment circuitry, which includes a neural network that operates based on a set of bit-depth adjustment parameters to process the input image data to determine whether banding greater than a perceivability threshold is expected to result when the image is displayed directly using the input image data with the first bit-depth and to process the image data corresponding with the image pixel to expand the image data from the first bit-depth to a second bit-depth when the banding visual artifact is greater than the perceivability threshold.

  • Patent number: 11039028
    Abstract: A visual privacy system unilaterally blocks rolling shutter cameras by providing a periodically interrupted ambient light source imposing bright and dark bands on the image yet at a frequency imperceptible to human observers in the environment. Communication of the modulation pattern to authorized cameras allows unaffected imaging in these regions by authorized individuals. The system also contemplates operation in a barcoding mode with a light modulation providing embedded barcodes that can be extracted from images taken in the region to indicate that the images were improperly acquired and to block the images in certain applications.

  • Patent number: 10901000
    Abstract: An electrical testing jig includes: a substrate; a first bracket on the substrate, the first bracket having a first step extending in a first direction on a top of the first bracket; and a second bracket on the substrate, the second bracket being spaced apart from the first bracket in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and having two second steps spaced apart from each other in the first direction on a top of the second bracket. Each of the second steps is angular.

  • Patent number: 10100969
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a movable sunshade base. The base comprises a base frame, a base cover, a roller component, a rotary assembly, a transmission component, a first drive rod, a second drive rod and a pull rod. Through swinging a pull rod, the second drive rod drives the transmission shaft, thereby driving the first drive rod. Driven by the first drive rod, a wheel bracket achieves power transmission using the leverage theorem, thereby controlling the roller to move to the outside of the base frame. When the movement is completed, the pull rod is swung to the opposite direction so that the roller can shrink into the base frame. The disclosure has the advantages of simple operation, convenient appearance, strong practicability and low cost, and can effectively solve the problem of moving difficulty and can be applied to various types of sunshade base.
