Abstract: A system comprises a power source and two power rails coupled to the power source. A storage device, comprising a non-volatile memory, a cache coupled to the non-volatile memory, and a control pin, is coupled to the second power rail. A power management controller is coupled to the first power rail and to a control pin of the storage device. The power management controller stops the provision of power via the first power rail and provides a signal to the storage device via the control pin when the provision of power via the first power rail is stopped. The storage device continues to receive power from the second power rail when the provision of power via the first power rail is stopped. The storage device stores data from the cache to the non-volatile memory in response to the receipt of the signal via the control pin.

Abstract: A virtual reality clamshell computing device includes a number of projection devices to project a three-dimensional image, a number of infrared OR illumination devices to illuminate a users hand, a number of IR sensors to detect IR wavelengths reflected off of the users hand, a processor, and a memory. The memory includes executable code that, when executed by the processor, extracts coordinate location data from the detected IR wavelengths reflected off of the users hand, interprets the coordinate location as a number of gestures performed by the user, and manipulates the display of the three-dimensional image based on the interpreted gestures.

Abstract: Techniques relating to throttling components of a storage device are described herein. In an example, inputs corresponding to operating temperatures of a set of components of the storage device are received from a plurality of temperature sensors. Each of the plurality of temperature sensors is associated with a component from amongst the set components of the storage device. Based on the inputs, a throttling condition, from amongst a plurality of predefined throttling conditions, each defined for predetermined operating temperatures of the set of components, is determined. At least one components of the storage device is then throttled based on the throttling condition.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus and an image processing method are provided. When a display apparatus is in the 3D display mode, a mode-switching unit adjusts the way to generate a vertical-count-value by counting every two rows of pixels and outputs the adjusted vertical-count-value. A dither unit outputs a carry value corresponding to the adjusted vertical-count-value. An adding unit adds the carry value and the surplus pixel bit together.

Abstract: A method for adjusting the color of images is provided. In the method, firstly, an original hue-saturation-value (HSV) color coordinate is obtained from an original image signal. Next, the original HSV color coordinate is converted into an adjusted HSV color coordinate according to color adjusting data. Afterwards, the adjusted HSV color coordinate is converted into a corrected HSV color coordinate. Then, an output image signal is generated according to the corrected HSV color coordinate.
