Abstract: The present invention relates to an image warping system capable of quickly performing image warping with low costs by using a cache memory, and a method thereof. The image warping system is provided to generate a transformed image by warping an input image with the help of a cache based WARP engine. The WARP engine accesses the input image and loads a portion of the image to the cache memory for speeding up the engine process. The WARP engine performs interpolation on the input image to generate an output image which is devoid of distortions. The output image obtained is then stored in the DDR of an electronic device.

Abstract: A method for automatically dispensing and vending carbon dioxide (CO2) snow block is disclosed. The automatic dispensing system contains multiple containers of different volumes. A user can input the volume of CO2 snow block into a controller, such as a programmable logic controller (PLC). The controller uses the inputted volume and process information to determine which container to utilize for the automated filling process. The controller can configure the selected container into a filling orientation into which liquid CO2 can flow to generate CO2 snow block. Upon detection of the completion of the fill, the container is configured into a dispensing orientation from which the CO2 snow block is released into an access region from which the user can retrieve the CO2 snow block. The control methodology may also be used to auto charge a single container located within a charging station as disclosed herein.
