Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090128561TINTING A SURFACE TO SIMULATE A VISUAL EFFECT IN A COMPUTER GENERATED SCENE - A tinted color value is produced for a surface of an object in a computer generated scene. The surface is illuminated by a light source having a lighting color value associated with the light source. A first reflected color value is calculated for the surface. The first reflected color value is calculated based on an assumption that the surface is illuminated by white light rather than the lighting color value associated with the light source. A desaturated color value is computed using the first reflected color value. A tinted color value is computed by combining the desaturated color value with the lighting color value associated with the light source. The tinted color value is stored.05-21-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100083013Various Methods and Apparatuses for Power States in a Controller - Various methods, apparatuses, and systems are described in which a chipset controller has circuitry to control communications with a peripheral device in a computing device. The chipset controller has logic configured 1) to detect a plug-in event when the peripheral device connects to the chipset controller and 2) to transition the chipset controller from a low power consumption state to a higher power consumption state based on the logic detecting the plug-in event.04-01-2010
20110157202Techniques for aligning frame data - Techniques are described that can used to synchronize the start of frames from multiple sources so that when a display is to output a frame to a next source, boundaries of current and next source are aligned. Techniques attempt to avoid visible glitches when switching from displaying a frame from a first source to displaying frames from a second source even though alignment is achieved by switching if frames that are to be displayed from the second source are similar to those displayed from the first source.06-30-2011

20110041608Proof mass for maximized, bi-directional and symmetric damping in high g-range acceleration sensors - A new high G-range damped acceleration sensor is proposed with a proof mass optimized for maximized, bi-directional and symmetrical damping to accommodate acceleration ranges above and beyond several thousand G's. In order to achieve the maximum, bi-directional and symmetrical damping, the high G-range acceleration sensor is designed to have minimum amount of mass in the proof mass while maximizing its surface areas. Such high G-range damped acceleration sensor can be applied to any application in which damping (or suppression of ringing) is desired at quite high frequencies.02-24-2011
20110068421Integrated MEMS and ESD protection devices - An electronic apparatus is provided that has a core, an electronic circuit in the core and a lid. An ESD protection device is in the lid. The ESD protection device is coupled to the electronic circuit.03-24-2011
20110138900Weatherized direct-mount absolute pressure sensor - A piezoresistive sensor assembly is provided that has a flex circuit having at least one air flow aperture formed therein. A sensor die is coupled to an absolute support and the flex circuit. The sensor die has a diaphragm that deflects in response to air flow that flows through the air flow aperture and is incident on the diaphragm. The sensor die includes one or more gages positioned on or in the diaphragm.06-16-2011
