20120087573	Eliminating Clutter in Video Using Depth Information - A method of clutter elimination in digital images is provided that includes identifying a foreground blob in an image, determining a depth of the foreground blob, and indicating that the foreground blob is clutter when the depth indicates that the foreground blob is too close to be an object of interest. Methods for obstruction detection in depth images such as those captured by stereoscopic cameras and structured light cameras are also provided.	04-12-2012

20100150350	Method and Apparatus for Key Expansion to Encode Data - An encoder according to the present invention embodiments employs a key expansion module to expand an encryption key by using logic and available clock cycles of an encryption process or loop. The key expansion module generates control signals to enable key expansion data to be injected at appropriate times into the encryption loop (e.g., during available clock cycles of the encryption loop) to perform the key expansion, thereby utilizing the resources of the encryption loop for key expansion. The key expansion module dynamically accounts for varying key lengths, and enables the encryption loop to combine the data being encrypted with proper portions of the expanded key. The use of encryption logic and available clock cycles of the encryption loop for the key expansion reduces the area needed by the encoder on a chip and enhances encoder throughput.	06-17-2010
