摘要： A bad pixel correction (BPC) algorithm that can be implemented on the image sensor chip is provided for detecting and correcting defective pixels in a digital color image sensor. Gradients of neighboring pixels in at least one other color plane than the color plane of a current pixel and a range of sensor values from neighboring pixels in the same color plane as the current pixel are determined. If the sensor value of the current pixel is outside of the range by a threshold amount that is calculated using one or more of the gradients, the current pixel is determined to be a defective pixel, and replaced using the sensor values of the neighboring pixels in the same color plane.

摘要： Imaging systems and methods are provided. One exemplary system incorporates multiple lenses that are individually configured to receive visible light from an object to be imaged, and to direct this light upon a corresponding sensor array. Luminance information is then derived from signals generated in one or more of the sensor arrays. When chrominance information is desired, an optical filter is interposed between a lens and the corresponding sensor array. The mosaic pattern contained in the optical filter is tailored to provide advantageous chrominance information. One or more such filters with different mosaic patterns may be employed. The luminance and chrominance information obtained from the sensor arrays are combined to generate an image of the object.

摘要： An improved thermal inkjet printhead having MOSFET drive transistors incorporated therein. The gate of each MOSFET transistor is formed by applying a layer of silicon dioxide onto a silicon substrate, applying a layer of silicon nitride onto the silicon dioxide, and applying a layer of polycrystalline silicon onto the silicon nitride. Portions of the substrate surrounding the gate are oxidized, forming field oxide regions. Drain and source regions are then conventionally formed, followed by the application of a protective dielectric layer onto the field oxide, drain, source, and gate. A resistive layer is deposited on the dielectric layer and directly connected to the source, drain, and gate. A conductive layer is deposited on a portion of the resistive layer, ultimately forming both covered and uncovered regions thereof. The uncovered region functions as a heating resistor, and the covered regions function as electrical contacts to the transistor and resistor.
