Filed:

Dec 24, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/746023

Inventors:

Sylvia J. Downing - El Dorado Hills CA, US
Paul A. Jolly - Rescue CA, US
Adam H. Wilen - Folsom CA, US

Assignee:

Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06F 3/00

US Classification:

710 2

Abstract:

An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to map pins on an interface connector to signals for a digital display. A first group of signal traces maps transmitter differential pairs pins in a first group of lanes on the interface connector compatible with a first interface standard to video output points corresponding to video output signals of a first video port compatible with a second interface standard. A second group of signal traces maps presence detect pins in the first group of lanes on the interface connector to control signal points corresponding to control signals of the first video port compatible with the second interface standard. A third group of signal traces maps receiver differential pairs pins in the first group of lanes on the interface connector to video input points corresponding to video input signals of the first video port compatible with the second interface standard.

Abstract:

A monolithic cable assembly includes a communication cable and cable connectors coupled to either end of the communication cable. The communication cable includes at least one optical communication channel. The cable connectors include a physical end connector for electrically coupling to a data device connector, optoelectronic components for converting data signals between an electrical realm and an optical realm, and a passively aligned integrated lens cover. The integrated lens cover includes at least one optical pathway for coupling optical data signals between the at least one optical communication channel and the optoelectronic components.

Appl. No.:

10/950211

Inventors:

Paul Jolly - Rescue CA, US
Sylvia Downing - El Dorado Hills CA, US
Richard Jensen - Fair Oaks CA, US

International Classification:

G09G 5/00

US Classification:

345001100

Abstract:

A number of pixels are received at a pixel rate that corresponds to a lower data transfer rate. The received pixels are delivered for display on a display device, over an interface that operates at a higher data transfer rate. These pixels are delivered as part of a stream that includes one or more codes that have been inserted between each adjacent pair of pixels so that the pixels in the stream are still delivered at the pixel rate. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
