Publication number: 20090169062Abstract: Managing verification of a submitted digital image of a person based on a comparison of another digital image of the person, where the person in the second image is illustrated in a specified pose, and/or is holding a specified object. The person provides the first digital image of themselves for use in participation in an online social networking experience, while the second digital image is not intended for display to others in the social network. The person is asked to provide the second digital image with the person in a defined pose, holding a particular object, wearing a particular article, or the like. The received digital images are then examined to determine whether they have been digitally modified, and to verify that the person within the two images is the same. If so, then the first image may be used in social networking activities by the person.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 2, 2008Publication date: July 2, 2009Applicant: Yahoo!

Publication number: 20070120591Abstract: A charge pump includes a resistor divider connected between an output voltage node and ground and a comparator inputting a reference voltage at one input, and a divided voltage from the resistor divider at another input. A digital control circuit is enabled by the comparator. A first transistor and a second transistor are in series between an input voltage node and the ground, both transistors controlled by the digital control circuit. A pump capacitor is connected between to the output voltage node and between the first and second transistor, and being charged by turning the first and second transistors on and off. A first diode is between the pump capacitor and the input voltage node. A second diode between the pump capacitor and the output voltage node. A reservoir capacitor between the output voltage node and ground. The digital control circuit comprises a first shift register.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2006Publication date: May 31, 2007Applicant: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Yee Cheung, Chun-Ying Chen

Publication number: 20060105725Abstract: Provided is a method and system for controlling current characteristics in a transceiver having a transmitter. The transmitter includes a plurality of current cells. Each cell is configurable for operating in different modes. The method includes determining a first probability associated with transmitting data at a particular symbolic level and determining a second probability associated with each cell being used during a transmission at the particular symbolic level. Next, one of the modes for each cell is selected in accordance with anticipated performance requirements. An average current of the transmitter is then calculated based upon the determined first and second probabilities and the selected modes.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2004Publication date: May 18, 2006Inventors: Yee Cheung, Kevin Chan, Jan Mulder

Publication number: 20050057871Abstract: A signal driving system generates an output swinging between a first power supply (e.g., about 1.2 Volts), powering first and second drivers, and a second power supply (e.g., about 3.3 Volts), powering a first current mirror. The second power supply is generated external to the signal driving system and is used to allow for a desired common-mode differential output signal range. However, the second power supply produces voltage at a level above a rating of the devices in the signal driving system. Therefore, protection devices are used to protect the elements of the signal driving system from the second power supply. Accordingly, through use of the signal driving system of the present invention, a high voltage current mode driver can operate in a low voltage process without damaging the devices in the signal driving system.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2003Publication date: March 17, 2005Inventors: Josephus Engelen, Yee Cheung, Mark Chambers, Darwin Cheung

Publication number: 20050030073Abstract: A low jitter, high phase resolution phase lock loop incorporating a ring oscillator-type VCO is designed and constructed to operate at a characteristic frequency M times higher than a required output clock frequency. Multi-phase output signals are taken from the VCO and selected through a Gray code MUX, prior to being divided down to the output clock frequency by a divide-by-M frequency divider circuit. Operating the VCO at frequencies in excess of the output clock frequency, allows jitter to be averaged across a timing cycle M and further allows a reduction in the number of output phase taps, by a scale factor M, without reducing the phase resolution or granularity of the output signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2004Publication date: February 10, 2005Inventors: Myles Wakayama, Stephen Jantzi, Kwang Kim, Yee Cheung, Ka Tong

Patent number: 5891784Abstract: A method of forming low stack height transistors having controllable linewidth in an integrated circuit without channeling is disclosed. A disposable hardmask of doped glass is utilized to define the gate and subsequently protect the gate (and the underlying substrate) during ion implantation which forms the source and drains. An anti-reflective coating helps protect against reflective gate notching. A variety of silicided and non-silicided) structures may be formed.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 1995Date of Patent: April 6, 1999Assignee: Lucent Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Wan Yee Cheung, Sailesh Chittipeddi, Chong-Cheng Fu, Taeho Kook, Avinoam Kornblit, Steven Alan Lytle, Kurt George Steiner, Tungsheng Yang
