Abstract:
The present invention refers to a system comprising a low consumption integrated circuit for documentation of events and to the relative method. Particularly it refers to a system for documentation of events comprising a television camera (1) to take images and produce a video signal and a memory device (4, 5) to memorise said signal. The system further comprises a sensor (3) able to activate the memorisation of said video signal on said memory device (4, 5), said memory device (4 5) comprising a first memory (4) of volatile type and a second memory (5) of non-volatile type. The video signal is memorized in said first volatile memory (4) and said sensor (3) actives the transfer of said video signal by said volatile memory (4) to said non-volatile memory (5).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a chip-to-chip communication system (10) of the type comprising at least a transmitter TX (11) and a receiver RX (12), inserted between a first and a second voltage references (Vdd, GND) and connected to respective transmitter and receiver clock terminal wherein respective transmitter and receiver clock signals (CP, G) are applied, the transmitter TX (11) having an input terminal (TXin) receiving an input data (D) and an output terminal (TXout) connected to an input terminal (RXin) of the receiver RX (12) at a connection block (15), the receiver RX (12) having an output terminal (RXout) issuing an output signal (Q). Advantageously according to the invention: - the transmitter TX (11) comprises at least a precharge and an evaluation blocks (18, 19) connected to each other and to the transmitter clock terminal (CP); - the receiver RX (12) comprises at least a precharge block (25) connected to the receiver clock terminal (G)
the precharge blocks (18, 25) precharging the output terminal (TXout) of the transmitter TX (11) and the input terminal (RXin) of the receiver RX (12), respectively, to a value corresponding to a first voltage reference (Vcc) during a low phase of the transmitter clock signal (CP).
Abstract:
An interpolation method (200) for obtaining a digital image constituted by a matrix of elements each comprising at least one colour component representative of an elemental area of the image includes the steps of providing (210) an incomplete digital image having at least one incomplete element in which at least one colour component is missing, each missing colour component in each incomplete element being present in opposed elements disposed on opposite sides of the incomplete element along at least one direction, determining (230), for each missing colour component of each incomplete element, an interpolation direction in which a variation of the corresponding colour components of the opposed elements is least, and setting (235) the missing colour component at a value equal to a mean of the corresponding colour components of the opposed elements along the interpolation direction.
