Title: Richard M Katz: Innovator in Computer Color Graphics
Introduction
Richard M Katz is a notable inventor based in Greensboro, NC (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of computer graphics, particularly through his innovative patent that enhances data processing techniques.
Latest Patents
Katz holds a patent for a data processing technique for computer color graphic systems. This invention involves a frame buffer that is divided into three bit planes, which are addressed by a single graphic display control chip. The address signal is modified by an adder to access each bit plane at designated time intervals during a single display cycle. A data word of N-bits from the first two bit planes is read and latched, and then loaded simultaneously with a data word of N-bits from the third bit plane into corresponding shift registers. This method minimizes the number of memory chips in the frame buffer and achieves three times the normal data output during each display cycle.
