| 20090309879 | Statistically-based Display Processing - In exemplary embodiments, a waveform processor system may update pixel state information as a function of current pixel state information (e.g., intensity, color) by comparing a randomized value to a set of predetermined threshold values that correspond to different permitted pixel states.

In some examples, the pixel state may be increased to the next level if the randomized value exceeds the predetermined threshold value. | 12-17-2009 |

| 20100066743 | Method for improved visualization of dynamic values displayed in a digital format - A method is provided for improved visualization of digitally displayed values that change rapidly, based on the human ability to perceive only a certain amount of change within a specific time-frame. The changes to the value are displayed so that, whenever possible, only one digit changes within the time-frame thought to be ideal for a user to perceive the change of a single digit. The actual value displayed will follow the true value as closely as possible, hence, in most cases, only the digit that moves the displayed value closest to the true value will trigger a change during a perception time frame. If the true value stops changing, the displayed value will, by this fashion, completely catch up with the true value in a prompt manner and exactly match it. If the true value oscillates rapidly, the oscillation will only be displayed to the extent that it allows the viewer to perceive the changes. Only the amount of change that can be perceived is actually shown, thus greatly improving the readability of digital displays. | 03-18-2010 |
