Various embodiments of the present technology may comprise a method and apparatus for pixel readout. The method and apparatus may comprise a pixel array capable of reading out one or more non-rectilinear subsets of the pixel array to form a non-rectilinear primary image. The one or more non-rectilinear subsets may be selected according to a desired rectilinear output image, wherein the rectilinear output image is formed using only the one or more subsets. The primary image may then be transformed to form the rectilinear output image.

Methods and apparatus for selective pixel readout for image transformation

The present invention is an integrated system on a chip that combines wireless, graphics, and multimedia. The graphics and multimedia features may be programmed by the end user while restricting programmability of the wireless features.

Integrated circuit architecture for programmable wireless device

An integrated circuit chip having a substrate with several overlaying metal layers. A lower metal layer is adjacent the substrate and an upper layer is spaced above the lower layer. The chip has circuitry including a number of circuit elements, and a number of access elements, each associated with and electrically connected to one of the circuit elements. Each access element includes first and second terminals in the lower layer, and an elongated span element in the upper layer. The span element has a first end overlaying and electrically connected to the first terminal and a second end overlaying and electrically connected to the second terminal. One of the terminals may be connected to provide power or a connection to the input or output of the associated circuit element. The chip may then be modified by severing the span element, or by connecting the span element to other circuitry on the chip to disable or enable operation of the circuit element.
