Abstract: In at least one embodiment, a motion estimation method may include dividing a first video frame to be estimated into a plurality of macroblocks, in which each of the macroblocks includes a plurality of sub-blocks. The method may further include determining a sampling pattern for each sub-block based on visual data of the sub-block, and determining a prediction motion vector for each sub-block by performing a pre-search based on the sampling pattern of the sub-block. The method may further include determining a search template for each macroblock based on the prediction motion vector of each sub-block within the macroblock, and determining a prediction motion vector for each macroblock by performing a secondary search based on the search template of the macroblock.

Abstract: A data communication system is disclosed including a cable medium and modulator adapted to carry data and power between a high speed data source and a high speed data sink. Relatively high speed data (e.g. the TMDS data of an HDMI interface) may be carried on optical waveguides in the cable medium. Relatively low-speed data (e.g., DDC data and clock, and CEC of an HDMI interface) may be carried on a separate set of optical waveguides or wire mediums. The optical waveguides allow for substantially less signal distortion of the high-speed data, thereby allowing the cable medium to achieve much higher lengths without significantly affecting the high-speed signaling.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of making an optical device, such as a photo diode or vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL). The method entails forming an active device within a substrate, forming a layer of surfactant over the active device; injecting microlens material over the surfactant layer directly above the active device, and curing the injected microlens material to form a microlens over the surfactant layer above the active device, such that the active device is capable of receiving or transmitting an optical signal by way of the microlens. An inkjet printing device may be used to inject the microlens material over the active device.

The method provided in the present invention includes: adjusting polarization states of two of four optical signals to be multiplexed, and preferably, mutually orthogonal to, the polarization states of the remaining two optical signals; combining one optical signal in the adjusted polarization state with one optical signal in the unadjusted polarization state into one optical signal through polarization multiplexing; and combining the two optical signals obtained through polarization multiplexing into one optical signal.

Abstract: An optical communication mount configured for surface mounting of optical transmitters, receivers or transceivers. The mount includes a housing having holes extending from the back side to the front side of the housing. The mount includes a first set of electrically-conductive traces disposed on a bottom side of the housing for surface mounting the mount on a printed circuit board (PCB), and a second set of electrically-conductive traces disposed on the front side of the housing. The mount also includes optical fibers extending into the thru-holes from the back side of the housing. The mount includes photo devices substantially registered with the thru-holes at the front side of the housing in a manner to receive and/or transmit more optical signals by way of the optical fibers, wherein the photo devices are configured to receive bias voltages from the PCB by way of the first and second sets of electrically-conductive traces.
