10/620286

Assignee:

Lattice Semiconductor Corporation - Hillsboro OR

International Classification:

H03K019/177

US Classification:

326 41, 326 38

Abstract:

A field programmable gate array (FPGA) has plural columns of run-time memory provided in each of one or more partitions. Each column of run-time memory has a plurality of configurable memory blocks (CMB's). Each CMB is programmably configurable at least into a shallow-and-widest mode where data words have a maximum bit width and into a deep-and-narrowest mode where data words have a minimum bit width. Each CMB spans plural interconnect buses and the bits of its widest data words are distributed among the spanned interconnect buses. When a deep-and-narrow mode is invoked, CMB's of alternate columns operate in complementary fashion so that bits of narrowed words from one CMB move through a first subset of the interconnect buses while bits of narrowed words from a second CMB, in an alternate column, move through a second subset of the interconnect buses, where the second subset is mutually exclusive of the first subset of the interconnect buses. On the other hand, when the shallow-and-widest mode is invoked, the bits of the wide words of CMB's in alternate columns shared interconnect buses on an overlapping basis. In one embodiment, the shared interconnect buses are tri-statable.

Inventors:

Yu Huang - Los Angeles CA, US

Assignee:

Luminoz, Inc. - Tokyo

International Classification:

G03B 21/60
G03B 21/56

US Classification:

359457, 359459, 359460

Abstract:

An off-axis Fresnel lens is disclosed that, when combined with a rear projection screen (comprising, e. g. , a lenticular lens, a diffuser, or both), enables construction of rear-projection-type screen devices (e. g. , projection television systems) that are thinner and have improved contrast and resolution when compared with conventional projection screen devices. The off-axis Fresnel lens comprises a plurality of concentric, outwardly-extending, total internal reflection-type prism facets. Each facet, in turn, comprises top and bottom sides, one or both of which may be flat or outwardly convex. Embodiments of the invention may also include concentric opaque sections that are disposed between successive prisms, between the prism base and the output surface of the Fresnel lens, and/or between the output surface of the Fresnel lens and the input surface of the projection screen in order to improve contrast. Contrast may also be enhanced by laminating the Fresnel lens to the projection screen.

International Classification:

B01D 15/00
C02F 1/44

US Classification:

210640, 2103218, 210175, 95 52

Abstract:

The invention is a pervaporation process and pervaporation equipment, using a series of membrane modules, and including inter-module reheating of the feed solution under treatment. The inter-module heating is achieved within the tube or vessel in which the modules are housed, thereby avoiding the need to repeatedly extract the feed solution from the membrane module train.

US Classification:

359457, 359459, 359460

Abstract:

Off-axis total internal reflection Fresnel lenses and projection screens are disclosed that, when combined, enable construction of projection assemblies for rear-projection-type screen devices (e. g. , projection television systems) that are thinner, provide easier handling and maintenance, and have improved contrast, focusing, and resolution when compared with conventional projection screen devices. The off-axis Fresnel lens comprises a plurality of concentric, outwardly-extending, total internal reflection-type prism facets, the top side of which may be aspherical. Embodiments of the invention also include projection screens having at least one diffuser and one lenticular lens. In addition, one or more opaque layers may be used to improve contrast. The various components, e. g. , the fresnel lens, the diffuser, the lenticular lens(es), the opaque layer(s), etc.
