Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090109326CAMERA MODULES - A camera module may include a mount and a barrel coupled to the mount. One of the barrel and the mount may include a polycarbonate material and the other of the barrel and the mount may include a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) material.04-30-2009
20090109554ADJUSTABLE LENS MOUNTING ASSEMBLY - A lens barrel is mated with a lens mount through use of a screw thread whereby relative rotation adjusts lens focus. The lens barrel and lens mount are additionally provided with an interengaging formation that is interposed between an optical axis of the lens barrel and the screw thread. This formation provides a cylindrical sliding contact which isolates any particles produced by operation of the screw thread from reaching the optical components at or near the optical axis.04-30-2009
20090267172METHOD OF MANUFACTURING AN IMAGE SENSING MICROMODULE - A method of manufacturing a micromodule including the steps of: producing an integrated circuit on an active face of a chip made of a semi-conductive material, making a via passing through the chip, electrically linked to the integrated circuit, and inserting the chip into a box comprising a cavity and an electrically conductive element, the active face of the chip being disposed towards the bottom of the cavity, forming on at least one part of a lateral face of the chip a conductive lateral layer made of an electrically conductive material, electrically linked to a conductive element of the rear face of the chip, and producing a connection between the conductive lateral layer and the conductive element by depositing an electrically conductive material in the cavity.10-29-2009

20080215773ENHANCED WIRELESS USB PROTOCOL - The present invention provides a method for increasing data throughput for a wireless USB system that includes wire adapters that wirelessly transmit data between a host system and a USB enabled device.09-04-2008
20080232588SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING CONTENT PROTECTION IN A WIRELESS DIGITAL SYSTEM - A system includes a line-based receiver for receiving protected content from a source and a line-based transmitter for providing the protected content to a destination. The protected content is secure, such as by using a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) mechanism. Between the line-based transmitter and receiver is a wireless transmitter and a wireless receiver. The wireless transmitter establishes an encrypted wireless link with the wireless receiver according to a second encryption mechanism. The wireless transmitter is further configured for receiving the protected content from the line-based receiver, encrypting the protected content according to the second encryption mechanism, and wirelessly transmitting the encrypted protected content. The wireless receiver is further configured for receiving the wirelessly transmitted protected content from the wireless transmitter and decrypting the protected content according to the second encryption mechanism.09-25-2008
20090066704WIRELESS GRAPHICS CARD - A device is provided for use in a portable computer. The device includes a wireless graphics card that includes a connector for coupling to an expansion slot of the portable computer and for receiving a plurality of signals from the portable computer, the plurality of signals including video, audio, and data signals and an ultra wideband (UWB) chipset coupled to the connector for processing the plurality of signals and for generating an OFDM modulated signal that includes at least the video signal, where the OFDM modulated signal including the video signal is wirelessly transmitted over an UWB link to a monitor for display.03-12-2009

20120121051RECEIVE TIMING MANAGER - A novel receive timing manager is presented. The preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises an edge detection logic to detect the data transition points, a plurality of data flip-flops for storing data at different sample points, and a multiplexer to select the ideal sample point based on the transition points found. A sample window is made with multiple samples. The sample window size can be designed smaller or greater than the system clock period based on the data transfer speed and accuracy requirement.05-17-2012
