Abstract: A technique, as well as select implementations thereof, pertaining to adaptive memory preparation is described. The technique may involve analyzing memory usage data of a plurality of child processes of a parent process. The technique may also involve determining whether a shared memory space is to be prepared by the parent process for use by at least a first child process based at least in part on the analyzing.

Abstract: An optical sensing apparatus with a signal interference rejection function is fabricated in a semiconductor chip by using a CMOS process. The optical sensing apparatus comprises an optical sensing element having a light-receiving side for receiving an optical signal from the light-receiving side and converting the optical signal into an electronic signal, and a noise-rejection layer disposed on the light-receiving side of the optical sensing element and connected to a reference ground. The optical sensing apparatus uses the noise-rejection layer for receiving noises and guiding the noises to the reference ground, so that the noises will not affect the accuracy of images, so that image quality is improved.

Abstract: An image sensing module capable of fast transferring signal and a method thereof are proposed. The image sensing module comprises an optical sensor set, a plurality of readout circuits and a plurality of amplifying circuits. Each readout circuit has a plurality of input terminals and an output terminal. Each amplifying circuit has an input terminal and an output terminal. The input terminals of each readout circuit are connected with the optical sensor set. The output terminal of each readout circuit is connected to the input terminal of one of the amplifying circuits. These readout circuits simultaneously capture output signals of the optical sensor set and then transfer to corresponding amplifying circuits in a parallel way. These amplifying circuits then output the amplified signals one by one in an orderly and time-sharing way to accomplish quick transmission of signals of the image sensing module.
