The present invention provides a tuning mechanism for flying pickup heads in data storage devices. The pickup device includes a coil, a pivot, a suspension, and a piezoelectric bender. The piezoelectric bender made by a bi-layer or a multi-layer piezoelectric material is formed on one end of the suspension, and proper voltages applied to the piezoelectric bender via wires enable the piezoelectric bender to undergo both neutral axis displacement and bending deflection. A pickup head is attached to the free end of the piezoelectric bender opposite to the coil, and via the piezoelectric bender, focusing and tracking motion of the pickup head can be tuned at the same time. Furthermore, since the characteristic of the piezoelectric bender is similar to bimetallic elements, the bender can undergo large bending deflection to compensate large deformation of rotating optical disks, so that the flying height of the pickup head can be tuned to maintain a constant focusing distance in reading/writing data.

The present invention proposes a fast motion estimation using N-queen pixel decimation, whereby after a reference block and a block to be processed are selected in a video sequence, an N×N queens pattern is used for pixel decimation to perform block match, thereby obtaining a good enough block difference value. The present invention combines pixel decimation with fast motion estimation for search points reduction to achieve the object of simplifying computational complexity of motion estimation. Therefore, the present invention can sieve out sufficiently representative pixels and will not increase extra computational complexity.

A leakage current cut-off device for a ternary content addressable memory is provided. The storage cell of a ternary content addressable memory may be in the active mode, data-retention mode and cut-off mode. This invention applies a multi-mode data retention power gating device to the storage cell of the ternary content addressable memory to reduce the leakage current through the storage cell in the data-retention mode and the cut-off mode, and support the full speed operation in the active mode.

A self-compensation method includes: firstly using a min-sum algorithm to derive multiple output values in order to approach a operational result of the checking side of a belief-propagation; and then checking the present iteration number of decoding based on a checking rule; and finally, if in the previous step the present iteration number is identified with a to-be-corrected state, then performing a compensation procedure on the multiple output values, wherein the compensation term is dynamically selected in accordance with an input value of the checking nodes of the belief-propagation. The invention also provides an automatic compensation apparatus, which consists of devices such as a min-sum operating unit, and a dynamic quantization control unit, etc., which can be used, while executing the invented method described above, to decode the belief-propagation algorithm.

A method and apparatus for switching data in communication system which comprises of mainly a conversion circuit to receive source data possessing real coding dimension and covert it to converted data possessing tolerable coding dimension; judgment bit is set in the converted data to designate the data as source data or not. Later on, shift circuit is used to shift the converted data in certain amount so as to generate a shifted data; meanwhile, the lowest bit and highest bit of shifted data are used to start acquiring real coding dimension to be used respectively as a first data and a second data, or by changing the pattern of acquiring the first data, then the highest bit minus the real coding dimension bit as the starting bit of the first data, and acquiring the real coding dimension from the side of the lowest bit. Finally, a comparison and selection circuit is used to compare the corresponding judgment bit in the first and the second data and to output an output data, wherein output data is source data with the above-mentioned amount of shift.

The present invention provides a method of web content filtering, which can be applied to gateway devices at client ends. When an access request for a web page from a browser is sent, by analyzing the web page content returned from the web site, we can decide whether the page is allowed or not, by early blocking and early bypassing algorithms. It allows making the decision as early as we have enough confidence that the web content should belong to some forbidden category or a normal one. Therefore, the web content determination speed can be improved and users' waiting time can be reduced. Moreover, by the present method, the network gateway devices will be allowed to analyze more web content.

A multi-mode multi-parallelism data exchange method and the device thereof are proposed to apply to a check node operator or a bit node operator. The proposed method comprises the steps of: duplicating part or all of an original shift data as a duplicated shift data; combining the original shift data and the duplicated shift data to form a data block; and using a data block as the unit to shift this data block so as to conveniently retrieve shift data from the shifted data block. With a maximum z factor circuit and duplication of part of data, specifications of different shift sizes can be supported. The functions of shifters of several sizes can therefore be accomplished with the minimum complexity.

The present invention discloses an object-detection method and a multi-class Bhattacharyya Boost algorithm used therein, wherein firstly, integral images are calculated from an image data in order to speed up the extraction of the characteristics of the objects; then, multiple rectangles of different sizes are scanned at different locations of the image data, and the multi-class Bhattacharyya Boost algorithm is used to detect multi-class objects. In the present invention, the detection framework can use only one single boosted cascade to determine the status and position of the object inside the image data. The simultaneous multi-class detection of the present invention can effectively overcome the detection difficulties resulting from the diversification of object appearances under different conditions. Therefore, the present invention can detect multiple objects simultaneously and can also detect one object having multiple classes of appearances, and further, the detection speed and the system robustness of the present invention are superior to those of the conventional technologies.
