Publication number: 20240120247Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor package is provided, with an integrated heatsink and electrical connection feature. The semiconductor die can be attached to the terminal using eutectic bonding, preferably CuSn eutectic, Ag containing adhesives or Ag sintering material. These bondings are lead (Pb) free connection methods, which make the finished semiconductor package RoHS compliant (restriction of hazardous materials).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: NEXPERIA B.V.Inventors: Regnerus Hermannus Poelma, Wai Man Wong, Tim Böttcher, Hans-Juergen Funke, Jannik Entringer, Yuet Keung Cheung, Chun Ning Chan

Patent number: 10230935Abstract: A method and a system for generating depth information associated with an image. The system comprises a segmentation module arranged to identify a plurality of objects represented by the image, wherein each object adjacent to another object are identified by an edge arranged to substantially separate the object and the adjacent object; and a processing module arranged to generate the depth information by assigning a depth value for each of the plurality of objects, wherein the depth value is arranged to represent a distance between the object and a reference point in a three-dimensional space.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2017Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: Marvel Digital LimitedInventors: Ying Chiu Herbert Lee, Wai Keung Cheung

Patent number: 9547887Abstract: An image processor generates a Super-Resolution (SR) frame by upscaling. A Human Visual Preference Model (HVPM) helps detect random texture regions, where visual artifacts and errors are tolerated to allow for more image details, and immaculate regions having flat areas, corners, or regular structures, where details may be sacrificed to prevent annoying visual artifacts that seem to stand out more. A regularity or isotropic measurement is generated for each input pixel. More regular and less anisotropic regions are mapped as immaculate regions. Higher weights for blurring, smoothing, or blending from a single frame source are assigned for immaculate regions to reduce the likelihood of generated artifacts. In the random texture regions, multiple frames are used as sources for blending, and sharpening is increased to enhance details, but more artifacts are likely. These artifacts are more easily tolerated by humans in the random texture regions than in the regular-structure immaculate regions.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2014Date of Patent: January 17, 2017Assignee: Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute Company, LimitedInventors: Luhong Liang, Peng Luo, King Hung Chiu, Wai Keung Cheung

Patent number: 8994786Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices that generate and display a multiple view 3-D holographic image (“image”) of a 3-D real or synthetic scene are presented. A projection system captures visual information of the 3-D scene from various perspectives and generates model data to create a 3-D model of the scene. The model data is converted to holographic data, which is respectively portioned corresponding to the respective perspectives of the scene and used to generate and display respective portions of the image on respective display sections. The display sections can be separate display sections corresponding to the various perspectives, or the display sections can be on a single display that is divided into sections for the various perspectives and a 3-D adapter is employed to facilitate display of the image in the display area, wherein reflector components can be used to reflect the portions of the image to the display area.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2010Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: City University of Hong KongInventors: Peter Wai Ming Tsang, Wu Chao Situ, Kayton Wai Keung Cheung

Patent number: 8890931Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices that generate and display a holographic image(s) of a 3-D real or synthetic object scene are presented. A holographic generator component (HGC) partitions a 3-D object scene into a horizontal stack of regularly spaced vertical sub-planes that are each contributed to a respective sub-line. The HGC converts the sequence of sub-lines into a collection of diffraction patterns, which are summed up and interfered with a reference beam to generate the complete hologram, which can be or can approximate a Fresnel hologram. A multi-rate filter is employed to facilitate converting sub-lines to diffraction patterns more quickly. The multi-rate filtering can be realized using convolution in the spatial domain, realized in the frequency domain using a fast Fourier transform, and/or realized in the frequency domain using a graphic processing unit.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2011Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: City University of Hong KongInventors: Peter Wai Ming Tsang, Kayton Wai Keung Cheung

Patent number: 8873120Abstract: A numerical method of recording a two or three dimensional object scene in a binary hologram. When the binary hologram is illuminated with a reference beam, the original object scene can be reconstructed and observed by a viewer. As the hologram is binary, i.e. composed of black or white pixels, it can be printed with commodity printers. The process is simple, fast, and economical, hence decreasing the cost and time for hologram design and production. In addition, with binary holograms, the ability to store the holograms is enhanced and binary holograms facilitate efficient transmission of the holograms.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2013Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: City University of Hong KongInventors: Wai Ming Tsang, Wai Keung Cheung
