Abstract:
A ghost cancellation method for the multi-touch sensitive device is disclosed. The multi-touch sensitive device includes a sensing array having multiple lines of a first axis and multiple lines of a second axis intersecting with each other. All the lines of the sensing array are scanned to determine which ones of the lines are touched, so as to determine touch point candidates. For each touch point candidate, a driving signal is applied to the line of the first axis, and the line of the second axis is detected to check if the touch point candidate is actually touched.
Abstract:
A decision feedback equalizer having an adjusting device and method thereof are described. The decision feedback equalizer having an adjusting device includes a feed-forward filter, a decision device, a feedback filter, the adjusting device, and a summation device. The feed-forward filter generates a forwarding signal (Sff) based on an input signal (Si). The decision device generates a first decision (Sd1) signal and a second decision signal (Sd2) which are associated with the summation signal (Ssu). The feedback filter receives the second decision signal (Sd2) for generating a feedback signal (Sfb). The adjusting device adjusts the first decision signal (Sd1) according to a first weighting value (V1) for generating a first adjusted signal (Sa1) and transmitting the first adjusted signal (Sa1) to the feed-forward filter. The adjusting device further adjusts the feedback signal (Sfb) according to a second weighting value (V2) for generating a second adjusted signal (Sa2). The summation device receives the forwarding signal (Sff) and the second adjusted signal (Sa2) for generating a summation signal (Ssu) and issuing the summation signal (Ssu) to the decision device.
Abstract:
A touch sensing method for detecting positions of touching is disclosed. In the present invention, a reference touch profile is provided. A variable ideal combination profile indicating multiple touches is obtained by synthesizing a plurality of reference touch profiles at different positions. The variable ideal combination profile is matched with a sensing signal. Actual touch positions can be identified from the sensing signal when the matching of the variable ideal combination profile with the sensing signal is optimal.
Abstract:
The invention discloses an electrostatic discharge circuit. The spirit of the invention is that the electrostatic common portion in the conventional integrated circuit is divided into at least two sets corresponding to at least two internal common voltages, separately. In addition, the electrostatic common portions use serily connected diode rings. Therefore, the number of diodes of the diode rings coupling to the higher common voltage and the electrostatic common portion, coupling to the higher common voltage, can be reduced.

An instruction folding mechanism, a method for performing the instruction folding mechanism and a pixel processing system employing the instruction folding mechanism are described. The pixel processing system comprises an instruction folding mechanism and a pixel shader. The instruction folding mechanism folds a plurality of first instructions in a first program to generate a second program having at least one second instruction which is a combination of the first instructions. The pixel shader connected to the instruction folding mechanism fetches the second program to decode at least the second instruction having the combination of the first instructions to execute the second program. The instruction folding mechanism comprises an instruction scheduler, a folding rule checker, and an instruction combiner. The instruction scheduler connected to the folding rule checker is used to scan the first instructions according to static positions in order to schedule the first instructions in the first program. The folding rule checker checks the first instructions according to a folding rule whether the first instructions has data independency. The instruction combiner connected to the folding rule checker can combine the first instructions having the data independency to generate at least the second instruction.

A method and apparatus for dynamic contrast enhancement is provided. The apparatus at least comprises a histogram calculator, a low-pass filter, a blending unit and a luma remapper. By means of blending a content-based histogram with a user-defined histogram, the invention solves a problem that the mean luma value is shifted too much due to a drastic adjustment.
Abstract:
A system for clock-switching applied in the field of integrated circuits is described. A phase interpolator converts an input clock signal into a clock_A and a clock_B having a phase difference therebetween and transmitting the clock_A and the clock_B. A switch command unit connected to the phase interpolator receives either the clock_A or the clock_B serving as a triggering signal for triggering the switch command unit to transform an input switching signal into an output switching signal when the output switching signal is located in either a rising or a falling edge. A selecting device connected to the phase interpolator and the switch command unit, selects either clock_A or clock_B according to the output switching signal from the switch command unit to output a clock-switching signal composed of clock_A and clock_B.

Abstract:
A method for motion pixel detection with adaptive thresholds, according to the global motion information among the reference video fields, so as to correctly evaluate whether a missing pixel is in a static region or a non-static region, thereby reconstructing the missing pixel by an inter-field interpolation process or an intra-field interpolation process. If the amount of motion among the reference fields is large, there is high motion information among the reference fields, so the threshold is set to be small; if the amount is small, there is less motion information between the reference fields, and so the threshold should be set to be large.
