Examples disclosed herein obtain first image data and the second image data for a foveated image frame to be displayed on a display, the first image data to have a first resolution and the second image data to have a second resolution lower than the first resolution. Disclosed examples also up-sample the second image data based on first metadata to generate up-sampled second image data, the up-sampled second image data to have the first resolution, and combine the first image data and the up-sampled second image data based on second metadata. Disclosed examples further perform, based on third metadata, a combination of at least two different filter operations on an overlap region including a portion of the first image data and a portion of the up-sampled second image data to generate the foveated image frame, the third metadata to specify a width in pixels of the overlap region.

Foveated image rendering for head-mounted display devices

Example methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., non-transitory physical storage media) to implement foveated image rendering for head-mounted displays device are disclosed herein. Example head-mounted display devices disclosed herein include a frame buffer to store first and second image data for an image frame, the first image data having a first resolution and the second image data having a second resolution lower than the first resolution, the first image data and the second image data obtained from a host device via a data interface. Disclosed example head-mounted display devices also include a device controller to up-sample the second image data based on first metadata from the host device to generate up-sampled second image data having the first resolution, and combine the first image data and the up-sampled second image data based on second metadata from the host device to render a foveated image frame on a display.

A wound capacitor has a lead configuration that enables enhanced control over equivalent series resistance (ESR) and equivalent series inductance (ESL). The capacitor has a case and a wound foil disposed within the case. A ball-and-lead configuration is coupled to the foil and extends from the case.

Method for making a wound capacitor

A capacitor with reduced equivalent series resistance and reduces equivalent series inductance is provided. Capacitors are provided with multiple plate assemblies that couple to a common single first polarity terminal. Capacitors are also provided with multiple plate assemblies that each couple to a respective second polarity terminal. Fan-like plate assemblies are arranged to provide increased capacitance with reduced equivalent series resistance and reduces equivalent series inductance. Capacitors are provided that mount using surface mounting technology. Capacitors are provided that conform to existing capacitor form factors.

Capacitor device and method

Wound capacitor

A user-selectable integrated circuit capacitance apparatus may include first and second electrodes defining a first fractal geometry, along with second and third electrodes defining a second fractal geometry. A dielectric may be located adjacent to the first and third electrodes. A method of fabricating the apparatus may include selecting a dielectric layer, forming the first and second electrodes so as to define the first fractal geometry on the dielectric layer, and then forming third and fourth electrodes so as to define a second fractal geometry on the dielectric layer. A circuit package may include external package connections connected to the electrodes of the apparatus. A system may include the apparatus coupled to a wireless transceiver by way of a power supply trace.

Selectable capacitance apparatus and methods

A method of fabricating a capacitor provides for coupling a ball grid array (BGA) lead configuration to a foil and disposing the foil within a case. The BGA lead configuration extends from the case.

Method of fabricating a wound capacitor

A capacitor having a plurality of layers with at least one layer including a plurality of electrodes is described. In an embodiment, the electrodes are elongate. The plurality of electrodes includes a plurality of first polarity electrodes and a plurality of second polarity electrodes. In an embodiment, pairs of electrodes are formed by twisting one first polarity electrode and one second polarity electrode together. In an embodiment, first polarity electrodes and second polarity electrodes are woven together in each layer.

Multiple electrode capacitor

The present invention provides a capacitor having a plurality of layers of aluminum foil connected to a first electrical terminal of the capacitor and another plurality of layers of aluminum foil connected to a second electrical terminal of the capacitor. The layers of aluminum foil are separated by a polymer such as a conductive organic polymer, so that each layer of polymer physically separates a layer of aluminum foil connected to the first terminal from a layer of aluminum foil connected to the second terminal. In some such embodiments the aluminum foil may be etched to provide greater surface area and capacitance, and also may be oxidized to form a dielectric layer.

Layered polymer on aluminum stacked capacitor

A termination assembly for a capacitor provides controlled ESR and ESL. First and second termination elements are attached to first and second foils to provide terminal connections. The first and second foils are wound into a cylinder such that the first and second termination elements form a shape within the cylinder and are spaced apart by a first distance. First and second leads are extending from the termination elements, respectively, such that the first and second leads are spaced apart by a second distance different from the first distance.
