An integrated circuit may have a spatial light modulator formed on one side of a semiconductor support and a microprocessor formed on the opposite side. The microprocessor and the spatial light modulator may communicate with one another through electrical connections which extend completely through the semiconductor support. The microprocessor may be contacted using bump packaging techniques.

A portable insulated cooler system for beverages which includes one or more bottles containing a freezable coolant refrigerant. The bottles define recesses for receiving the housed beverage containers. An insulated casing or liner extends about the bottle to maintain and contain containers in a cool condition for an extended period of time. The bottles and casing are inserted into a fabric carrying case for convenience of the user. The carrying case, bottles and insulative casing may be configured so that the cooler may be comfortably carried by the user in a manner similar to a "fanny pack". In other embodiments, the bottles containing the refrigerant are identical one to the other and are positioned in face-to-face relationship to form a plurality of cooling chambers. The cooler may also be placed in another article for transportation such as within the large side pocket of a golf bag. The modular system allows the user to assemble a cooler of the desired capacity by assembling the selecting bottle, liner and case components.

A method and system for performing memory optimization is described. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving from a processor a plurality of read/write requests, wherein at least a portion of the read/write requests are related. Arrival times of the read/write requests that are related are measured and predicted arrival times are determined of future read/write requests that are related. The method creates a real-time schedule of memory requests using the arrival times of the read/write requests and the predicted arrival times of the future read/write requests. The real-time schedule is then used to pre-determine time periods. The method performs opportunistic functions in the memory during the pre-determined time periods, including performing at least one of garbage collection or translation cache pre-fetch.

The degradation of less than all of the pixels of a polymer display may be monitored and the uniformity of the display may be adjusted by either overdriving a given pixel or reducing the light output of other pixels in the display. In this way, the display's lifetime may be maximized without incurring pixel non-uniformity. In addition, the characteristics of the display may be monitored over time in order to provide the user with an early warning of imminent display failure.

A system for measuring the convergence alignment may include an optical system arranged to preferentially image and magnify the regions of a display screen outside the area normally viewed by users. That area may include convergence targets which may be associated with each corner of the display. That information may be provided as a unified image to an imaging sensor which may thereafter be utilized to analyze the information and if desired, make appropriate corrections.

In calibrating displays, analog information may be converted into digital information to control the display. The requirements of the analog to digital converter may be decreased by decreasing the necessary dynamic range for the analog to digital converter. This may be done by developing a first calibration signal indicative of a first plurality of pixels of the display and developing a second calibration signal indicative of a second plurality of the display. The first and second signals may be subtracted from each other and that signal may then be converted to a digital signal with reduced dynamic range requirements for the analog to digital converter.

An internal or external device may be utilized to calibrate a digital camera for changing ambient light conditions. The device may include a surface which either provides for white light reflectivity or white light transmissivity for making a first measurement of white light intensity. A plurality of light emitting elements of known wavelengths can be used to obtain a second intensity measurement. This information may be used to calibrate the camera for changing ambient light.

A method and system for performing sensed garbage collection in a memory is disclosed. Aspects of the exemplary embodiment include measuring arrival times of read/write commands received from the processor executing an application; determining a periodicity of the read/write commands based on the arrival times; locking onto a phase of the periodicity using the read/write commands to determine predicted arrival times of future read/write commands; creating a real-time schedule of memory requests using the arrival times of the read/write commands and the predicted arrival times of the future read/write commands; using the real-time schedule to sense idle periods where the application will not make a request of the memory, and performing garbage collection during the at least one idle period.
