20090167765 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONVERTING EDGE RECORD BASED GRAPHICS TO POLYGON BASED GRAPHICS - A method and graphics converter for converting edge record based graphics to polygon based graphics is provided. In accordance with one embodiment, there is provided a method for converting graphic object data that defines a graphic object for delivery to wireless devices connected to a wireless communications network, the method comprising: converting the graphic object data from a path format to a second format, the path format including path elements that are each associated with a fill style and define one or more polygon shapes at least partially filled with the associated fill style, the path elements collectively defining the graphic object; converting the graphic object data from the path format to a second format, the converting including: redefining the polygon shapes defined by the path elements as groups of triangles; and combining at least some triangles in the groups of triangles into further polygon shapes that fall within complexity thresholds based on predetermined capabilities of a wireless device to which the converted graphic object data will be delivered. | 07-02-2009 |

20090079759 | DISPLAY PROCESSING SYSTEM AND METHOD - Pixel data is stored in a data field corresponding to a pixel of an image. The data field includes an opacity bit, a first set of bits, and a second set of bits. If the opacity bit is set to an opaque-indicating state, then a color level value of a first composite color of the pixel is stored in the first set of bits and a color level value of a second composite color of the pixel is stored in the second set of bits. However, if the opacity bit is set to a transparency-indicating state, then a transparency level value is stored in at least one bit of each set of bits and the respective color level value is stored in other bits of each set of bits. | 03-26-2009 |
20110090241 | DISPLAY PROCESSING SYSTEM AND METHOD - Pixel data is stored in a field corresponding to a pixel of an image. The field includes an opacity bit and a set of bits. If the opacity bit is set to an opaque-indicating state, then a color level value of a component color of the pixel is stored in the set of bits. However, if the opacity bit is set to a transparency-indicating state, then a transparency level value is stored in at least one bit of the set of bits and the respective color level value is stored in other bits of the set of bits. | 04-21-2011 |
20110285744 | DISPLAY PROCESSING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A method includes storing a transparency value. A color level value is stored in a set of color bits. The color level value is multiplied by the transparency value, by bit-shifting the set of color bits by a number of bit positions indicated by the transparency value. | 11-24-2011 |

20090282085 | APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR STORAGE AND MANAGEMENT OF ONE OR MORE DATA FILES CONTAINING A DEVICE THEME - Apparatuses and methods for storage and management of one or more data files containing a device theme are provided. In one embodiment, an electronic device comprising a processor that controls a display is configured to generate one or more themes on the display. The electronic device is configured to maintain a locale setting identifying, for example, a language setting. The electronic device is provided with a theme data file that includes conditional definitions that correspond to automatic adjustments to how the theme is generated based on the locale setting. | 11-12-2009 |

20120216067 | Data processing apparatus and method using monitoring circuitry to control operating parameters - A data processing apparatus and method are provided that use monitoring circuitry to control operating parameters of the data processing apparatus. The data processing apparatus has functional circuitry for performing data processing, the functional circuitry including error correction circuitry configured to detect errors in operation of the functional circuitry and to repair those errors in operation. Tuneable monitoring circuitry monitors a characteristic indicative of changes in signal propagation delay within the functional circuitry and produces a control signal dependent on the monitored characteristic. In a continuous tuning mode operation, the tuneable monitoring circuitry modifies the dependency between the monitored characteristic and the control signal in dependence upon certain characteristics of the errors detected by the error correction circuitry. An operating parameter controller is then arranged, in the continuous mode of operation, to control one or more performance controlling operating parameters of the data processing apparatus in dependence upon the control signal. This enables efficient and robust control of those operating parameters in response to changes in environmental conditions. | 08-23-2012 |
20130169350 | SENSING SUPPLY VOLTAGE SWINGS WITHIN AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT - An integrated circuit comprising a plurality of sensors configured to sense variations in supply voltage levels at points within the integrated circuit is disclosed. The plurality of sensors are distributed across the integrated circuit and have transistor devices such that process variations in the transistor devices within the sensors are such that a sensing result will have a random voltage offset that has a predetermined probability of lying within a pre-defined voltage offset range. The integrated circuit is configured to transmit results from multiple ones of the plurality of sensors to processing circuitry such that the variations in the supply voltage levels can be determined with a voltage offset range that is reduced compared to the pre-defined voltage offset range. | 07-04-2013 |
