This invention relates to systems and methods for imaging sample materials within a microfluidic device during an assay reaction process. In accordance with certain aspects of the invention, images are formed with a pixel array and a region of interest (“ROI”) is defined within the pixel array. Image values, such as fluorescent intensity, can be computed as averages of individual pixel values within the ROI. Where the ROI is subject to non-uniform conditions, such as non-uniform heating, the ROI can be divided into sub-ROIs which are sufficiently small that the condition is uniform within the sub-ROI.

An optical interconnection apparatus including waveguide arrays such as waveguide lenses, waveguide gratings and star couplers, has improved efficiency realized using a periodic array combined with an arrangement of matching sections. The array is connected to a slab region containing the array focal point and the purpose of the matching sections is to minimize unwanted radiation by the array outside the central zone of the array. This unwanted radiation is primarily caused by two particular unwanted modes excited at the array junction with the slab, and the resulting loss is minimized by properly choosing the average phase shift applied by each section to said unwanted modes.

An image encoding apparatus includes a calculation unit for calculating complexity from pixel values of an input image, the complexity representing a code amount generated by prediction encoding each block included in a prediction target region of the input image, and an allocation unit for allocating a code amount to each block based on the calculated complexity of each block and an allowable code amount previously set for the prediction target region. The apparatus further includes a determination unit for determining an encoding parameter corresponding to each block based on the complexity of each block and the code amount allocated to each block, and an encoding unit for encoding each block by using the determined encoding parameter of each block. Finally, the apparatus includes a resetting unit for resetting the allowable code amount for a next prediction target region based on an occupancy amount of a buffer.

A driving method of a liquid crystal display is described. The driving method of liquid crystal display firstly detects the maximum grayscale of all pixel of liquid crystal display, and adjusts the out-put brightness of back-light modules in order to provide the corresponding brightness to the pixels of the maximum grayscale. Meanwhile, adjust all grayscale values of all pixels to map a new grayscale value, and drive each pixel. This driving method of this crystal display provides a sharp display quality when displaying darker image, and further reduces power consumption, particularly when displaying low brightness images.
