  • Patent number: 7050088
    Abstract: A method for a 3:2 pull-down film source detection. First, a source is received. Then, field differences of two fields of the same type in the source and an average field difference according to the field difference corresponding to at least one prior field in the source are calculated. The source is established as a 3:2 pull-down film source by checking whether a 3:2 pull-down signature is in the source according to the field difference and the average field difference, and a bad editing point is detected according to an interlaced frame information of the source.

  • Publication number: 20060087581
    Abstract: The invention describes an exposure control method. A target luminance value is set. A plurality of range and step parameters is set. An exposure value (EV) is set and an exposure value adjustment index is obtained by an adjustment based on the range and step. A new target luminance value is obtained from a table according to an adjustment factor. An measured luminance value is measured according to the exposure setting. A modified exposure value is calculated by an exposure value (EV) modification process. Thereby, basic arithmetic and logical operations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are be used in place of complicated exposure calculation using a logarithmic operation in the conventional image processor and thus problems of power consumption and execution speed are resolved.

  • Patent number: 6983676
    Abstract: An adjustable wrench includes a handle having an end on which a fixed jaw is formed. The handle includes an engaging section and a transverse through-hole. A movable jaw includes a longitudinal hole through which the engaging section of the handle extends, allowing the movable jaw to slide relative to the handle. A retaining member is movably mounted in the transverse through-hole of the handle and biased by an elastic element to a position where toothed sections of the retaining member are engaged with toothed sections of the movable jaw, thereby retaining the movable jaw in place. The retaining member can be pushed to another position wherein the toothed sections of the retaining member are disengaged from the toothed sections of the movable jaw, allowing the movable jaw to slide relative to the fixed jaw.
