US Patent:

6348903, Feb 19, 2002

Filed:

Mar 18, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/271999

Inventors:

Chin Tao Wu - New Brunswick NJ
James Vincent Samuels - Monmouth Junction NJ

Assignee:

MultiVideo Labs, Inc. - Princeton NJ

International Classification:

G09G 106

US Classification:

345 10, 3152821, 348806, 358533

Abstract:

Lines or sections of lines on a scanned CRT display are checked to determine whether a moire pattern exists. The existence is determined by comparing the number of pixels occurring on a line or a section of a line to a reference count corresponding to a moire pattern. Substantial equality of the pixel count and the reference count enables a moire correction circuit for the section of the display containing the moire pattern. In sections of the display where the moire pattern does not occur, i. e. , the pixel count and the reference count are not substantially equal, the moire correction circuit is automatically disabled.

Appl. No.:

09/046442

Inventors:

James Vincent Samuels - Monmouth Junction NJ

Assignee:

MultiVideo Labs, Inc. - Princeton NJ

International Classification:

H04L 1250

US Classification:

370502, 370252, 370242

Abstract:

Universal Serial Bus active extension cable for increasing the distance between devices coupled via a Universal Serial Bus cable includes a pair of transceivers for bidirectional transmission of data therealong. A drive detector senses which terminal device is transmitting data and enables the other terminal device to receive the data. A speed detector senses which of more than one transmission speed is being used and sets the devices coupled to the cable accordingly. An end-of-packet detection determines when the transmission of a packet of data has been completed. When the system enters a suspend mode, a detector sets the components to a low power mode.

Appl. No.:

6/856660

Inventors:

James V. Samuels - Monmouth Junction NJ

International Classification:

H04N 964

US Classification:

358 21R

Abstract:

The invention processes a National Television System Committee (NTSC) standard video signal to allow a digital, transistor to transistor logic (TTL), 8 color, separate red, green, and blue (RGB) video, color monitor to be used to display television (TV) images. The infinite colors necessary for TV are produced on an 8 color TTL monitor through pulse width modulation. Thus, the width of the TTL video pulse to each color input of the monitor is proportional to the brightness required that is contained in the NTSC signal.

International Classification:

H04N 544

US Classification:

358188

Abstract:

An EEPROM stores multiple sets of video display parameters for a multi-frequency video display. A microcontroller receives input from a user, changes the stored display parameters and outputs changes in the parameters to the video display. The microcontroller also controls video display apparatus that displays on-screen menus and value indicator graphs for facilitating user input. The video display apparatus incorporates a video clock synchronized to the horizontal synchronization signal of the multi-frequency display, to keep the displayed menus synchronized regardless of the current frequency. In addition, the video display apparatus elongates displayed characters at higher frequencies to control the absolute size of displayed characters across frequencies. The present invention provides for changes to video display parameters, and for resetting the display parameters to factory standards, without manipulating electromechanical devices such as potentiometers.

MultiVideo Labs, Inc. - Princeton NJ

International Classification:

H04N 504
H04N 708

US Classification:

345 14

Abstract:

Transmitting via color signals or vertical signals to control a computer's display monitor using software adjustments of the display parameters. A user can vary the display parameters including, for example, the contrast, brightness, horizontal and vertical size and position, inter alia, and transmit other commands and other data using codes transmitted with the color codes, or alternatively, with the vertical synchronization pulses.
