Did You Know...
...that power steering was invented by independent inventor Francis W. Davis? As chief engineer in the 1920s of the truck division of the Pierce Arrow Motor Car Company, he saw how hard it was to steer heavy vehicles. So that he would be able to keep the profits from his future invention, Davis left his job, rented a small engineering shop in Waltham, Mass., and developed a hydraulic power steering system that led to power steering.

| 20080186320 | ARRANGEMENT, METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR DISPLAYING A SEQUENCE OF DIGITAL IMAGES An arrangement for displaying a sequence of digital images is described, including a chip with a first memory for storing an increment image which can be combined with a first digital image in such a way that a second digital image arises, an off-chip second memory for ... | 08/07/2008 |
| 20080100638 | Display Apparatus And Method Capable of Rotating An Image A system for translating a portrait-oriented software address to a portrait-oriented yet landscape-configured display address. Based on the orientation of a display device, an address translation system either passes the software address “as is” or translates the ad... | 05/01/2008 |
| 20070046681 | Memory apparatus and memory control method A memory apparatus having first and second memories generates an address corresponding to input data, and compares an address corresponding to data stored in the second memory with the generated address. The memory apparatus reads out data corresponding to the generated... | 03/01/2007 |
| 20070046684 | Methods and Apparatus for Efficiently Accessing Reduced Color-Resolution Image Data The invention is directed, in one embodiment, to a method for generating memory addresses for accessing an image in which each pixel in a group of pixels has a luma component, but shares chroma components with other pixels of the group. A preferred method includes provi... | 03/01/2007 |
| 20070035550 | Advanced load value check enhancement Systems and methods for performing re-ordered computer instructions are disclosed. A computer processor loads a first value from a first memory address, and records both the first value and the second value in a table or queue. The processor stores a second value to the... | 02/15/2007 |
| 20060197770 | Method, circuit arrangement and camera for providing electronic scan reversal Method for reversing a video signal having sequences of n elements comprises the steps of writing the n elements of a first sequence into memory locations of a memory in a non-reversed order and reading out the memory locations in a reversed order, and in a subsequent s... | 09/07/2006 |
