  • Scalable predictive coding method and apparatus
    Patent number: 7289675
    Abstract: A scalable predictive coder in which the current frame of data is predicted at the enhancement-layer by processing and combining the reconstructed signal at: (i) the current base-layer (or lower layers) frame; and (ii) the previous enhancement-layer frame. The combining rule takes into account the compressed prediction error of the base-layer, and the parameters used for its compression.

  • Feram cell with internal oxygen source and method of oxygen release
    Patent number: 6773982
    Abstract: An integrated ferroelectric/CMOS structure which comprises at least a ferroelectric material, a pair of electrodes in contact with opposite surfaces of the ferroelectric material, where the electrodes do not decompose at deposition or annealing, and an oxygen source layer in contact with at least one of said electrodes, said oxygen source layer being a metal oxide which at least partially decomposes during deposition and/or subsequent processing is provided as well as a method of fabricating the same.
