| 20120119301 | METHOD FOR IMPROVING DEVICE PERFORMANCE USING DUAL STRESS LINER BOUNDARY - An integrated circuit with DSL borders perpendicular to the tranistor gates primarily inside the nwell and with DSL borders parallel to the transistor gates primarily outside the nwell. A method for forming an integrated circuit with DSL borders perpendicular to the tranistor gates primarily inside the nwell and with DSL borders parallel to the transistor gates primarily outside the nwell. | 05-17-2012 |
| 20110085631 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR UNIT INTERVAL CALCULATION - A method is provided. In this method, a clock signal and an input signal are received, where the input signal is a Manchester encoded signal. A unit interval (UI) number is incremented for each UI received upon receipt of a valid UI. The UI number is compared to a plurality of threshold values after the each increment of the UI number, where each threshold value is associated with at least one of a plurality of sum values. For each threshold value, once exceeded by the UI number, its sum value is incremented for each cycle of the clock signal, and a plurality of window lengths are calculated, where each window is calculated based at least in part on at least one of the sum values at predetermined values of the UI number. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20100310248 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTO-FOCUSING - Method and system for auto-focusing. The method includes checking for presence of a subject in a first frame. The method also includes determining a second frame indicative of an in-focus position of the subject if the presence of the subject is detected. The method further includes causing to focus on the subject based on the second frame. Further, the method includes checking for a change in at least one of location of the subject in the second frame, and sharpness and luminance in an area corresponding to the subject in the second frame. Moreover, the method includes causing to refocus on the subject if the change is detected. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20100231299 | AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL - A method and system for providing automatic gain control for a differential amplifier are provided. An impedance network is set to have a first impedance that corresponds to a first gain for a differential amplifier, which amplifies an input signal by the first gain. Once the amplified input signal is greater than a first threshold voltage, the impedance network is set to have a second impedance that corresponds to a second gain for the differential amplifier, which amplifies the input signal. Once amplified input signal is greater than a second threshold voltage and a predetermined period has lapsed, the impedance network is reset to have the first impedance that corresponds to a first gain for the differential amplifier. | 09-16-2010 |

| 20100073397 | System and Method for Grouped Pixel Addressing - In accordance with the teachings of the present disclosure, a system and method for displaying an image are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a data stream representing a frame of an image. The data stream may indicate a first color pixel cluster corresponding to a first color and a second color pixel cluster corresponding to a second color. The first color pixel cluster and the second color pixel cluster may be displayed. The first color pixel cluster may be different from the second color pixel cluster. | 03-25-2010 |
