20100328538 | PARALLEL THREE-DIMENSIONAL RECURSIVE SEARCH (3DRS) MEANDERING ALGORITHM - Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method and related motion estimation unit for performing motion estimation on video data comprising a plurality of frames. The method may begin by reading a current frame of the plurality of frames from a memory of a motion estimation unit. The method may then select a motion vector for each respective block of pixels in a current row of the current frame. The step of selecting the motion vector may include, for each respective block, selecting, by the motion estimation unit, a candidate vector for at least one block directly surrounding the respective block based on a determination of whether the directly surrounding block has been processed for the current frame, calculating, for each candidate vector, a difference value, and selecting, as the motion vector, the candidate vector with the lowest difference value. | 12-30-2010 |

20140223220 | CLOCK SELECTION CIRCUIT AND METHOD - The invention provides a clock select circuit and method which uses feedback arrangements between latches in different branches, with each branch for coupling an associated clock signal to the circuit output. An override circuit is provided in one of the feedback arrangements for preventing a latching delay in that feedback arrangement. This enables rapid switching between clocks in both directions. | 08-07-2014 |
20140317433 | CLOCK CONTROL CIRCUIT AND METHOD - This invention provides a clock control circuit, which can be added to any pipeline-processor to solve timing problems arising from variations due to process outcome and environmental conditions. Critical instructions are detected (instructions that exercise critical paths) in conjunction with environmental sensing (such as process, temperature and voltage). This information is used to control cycle stealing. | 10-23-2014 |
