摘要： A method, of selectively reading less than all information from an image sensor for which member-pixels of a subset of the entire set of pixels are individually addressable, may include: sampling information from a targeted member-pixel of the subset without having to read information from the entire set of pixels; and adaptively reading information from another one or more but fewer than all member pixels of the entire set based upon the sampling information without having to read all pixels on the image sensor. A related digital camera may include features similar to elements of the method.

摘要： Adaptive battery conditioning employs battery chemistry determination to establish how, when and whether to condition a battery. As a result, the conditioning is optimized for the determined battery chemistry. Further, conditioning of a battery that is not conditionable, such as a nonrechargeable battery, is prevented. A device determines battery chemistry in situ from a measurement of a characteristic of an installed battery, and conditions the installed battery in situ. The device can be a battery-powered consumer electronic device or a battery charging and conditioning system that is independent of an electronic device that uses the conditioned battery. A method of adaptive battery conditioning includes determining a chemistry of a battery from a measurement of a battery characteristic, and conditioning the battery according to the determined battery chemistry.

摘要： A method and a battery powered electronic device incorporate use-adaptive fuel gauging. The use-adaptive fuel gauging adapts a fuel gauge algorithm to an average use model for the device. The adaptation accounts for the effects that variations in average use by a user of the device have on a total available energy or charge capacity of a battery. Accordingly, use-adaptivity can improve the fuel gauging accuracy by improving an estimate of the total energy available. The method and device optionally account for different battery chemistries yielding further increases in fuel gauging accuracy compared to conventional fuel gauging approaches.

摘要： A method and digital camera are disclosed for capturing a complete set of image data for a three-dimensional target object by capturing image data from multiple images from different perspectives of the target object. The camera captures an image of the object from an initial perspective. Based on image data retrieved from the image, discontinuous edges of the object are identified for the initial perspective. The camera continues capturing image data for the object by capturing images from different perspectives, until complete image data is obtained. As each image is captured, the camera attempts to resolve discontinuous edges identified in any of the images. If all of the discontinuous edges cannot be resolved, then another image of the target object is captured from another perspective. When all of the discontinuous edges are resolved, the camera indicates that complete image data has been obtained, using an indicator.

摘要： An apparatus and a method provide a convenient way for consumers to recycle used batteries. The apparatus is a self-contained station or kiosk that accepts used batteries from a consumer and dispenses one or both of fully charged batteries and credit for the used battery to the consumer. The method determines one or more of chemistry, rechargeability and condition of the used battery, assigns a credit value to the used battery, and dispenses a form of credit based on the assigned credit value. The present invention recycles one or both of used rechargeable and used non-rechargeable batteries and separately dispenses fully charged batteries. Used rechargeable batteries are recharged and reused, and used non-rechargeable batteries are collected for proper disposal according to regulations.

摘要： A battery management system and method for an electronic device that may be powered by an AC source (using an AC adapter), or by a battery. The battery management system includes firmware configured to determine whether a battery coupled to the electronic device is rechargeable. The firmware is also coupled to and configured to control a charge switch. When the battery and an AC source are both coupled to the device, activating the charge switch causes a charging current to be applied from the AC source to the battery. The charge switch and firmware are configured to cause the charging current to not be applied to the battery if it is determined that the battery is not rechargeable.
