Abstract:
Objekte werden in Echtzeit bei Voll-VGA-Auflösung mit 30 Bildern pro Sekunde erkannt. Ein Präprozessor führt eine Lauflängenkodierung (RLE) durch und erzeugt ein Integralbild (SAT) eines Bilds. Die RLE und SAT werden zur Feststellung in Frage kommender Objekte und iterativen Präzisierung ihrer Grenzen verwendet. Ein Gradientenhistogramm (HoG) und eine Support Vector Machine (SVM) klassifizieren dann zuverlässig das Objekt. Das Verfahren kann Teil eines Fahrerassistenzsystems (ADAS) sein.
Abstract:
Ein Mehrkanalsystem, das einen Multiplexer, der Eingänge für eine Mehrzahl an Eingangskanälen aufweist, und einen Vorladungspuffer, der eine Mehrzahl an mit einem Eingang des Multiplexers gekoppelten Eingängen aufweist, und einen Ausgang, der mit einem Multiplexerausgang gekoppelt ist, beinhaltet. Das Mehrkanalsystem kann unabhängig sein oder mit einer Empfangsschaltung gekoppelt sein, die einen mit einem Ausgang des Multiplexers gekoppelten Eingang aufweist. In einigen Fällen ist die Empfangsschaltung ein Analog-Digital-Umwandler.
Abstract:
A multi-string DAC is described and comprises at least two DAC stages. Each DAC stage comprises a string of impedance elements and a switching network. In one configuration, the DAC comprises a first and second switching network, the second switching network providing multiple switched paths which compensate for impedance effects of the second string and provides multiple state changes at the output node of the DAC.
Abstract:
Integrated crash and vehicle movement sensing by use of distributed new multi- axis satellite sensors combines side and/or front/rear crash sensing with other applications requiring dynamic vehicle movement data like (but not limited to) roll and/or pitch detection as well as active suspension, head light beam leveling, etc. Depending on the required functionality, two or more satellite sensor modules are used, which measure multi-axis high-g and low-g acceleration, without needing any further sensor inputs like gyroscopes while achieving a high level of failsafe and redundancy.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for automatic resonance detection is disclosed for a motor- driven mechanical system such as a voice coil motor (VCM) in which a resonance detector and driver are provided. The automatic resonance detector may be implemented on the same integrated circuit as the driver, and dynamically determines the natural resonant frequency of the VCM driven by the driver. The resonant frequency is determined by measuring the back electromotive force (BEMF) of the VCM, detecting the slope of the BEMF signal, and determining the resonant frequency from the slope of the BEMF signal.
Abstract:
An amplifier system may include a power stage having inputs for three different supply voltages and an output for coupling to a load, a controller to generate control signals to the power stage that cause the power stage to vary an output voltage applied to the load among more than three distinct voltage levels, a monitor to provide a first control signal to the controller based on an input voltage signal, and a feedback system to provide a second control signal to the controller based on comparison of the output voltage and the input signal.

Abstract:
A locking/unlocking mechanism for a contactless gesture detection system of a device is described herein. The locking/unlocking mechanism can facilitate automatic locking, manual locking, and/or manual unlocking of the contactless gesture detection system. The contactless gesture detection system can implement the locking/unlocking mechanisms described herein to control a contactless gesture-based user interface state of the device. In various implementations, the controlling can include detecting gestures associated with a user in a contactless space associated with the device; detecting a defined gesture sequence over a defined time period from the detected gestures; and transitioning the device to a contactless gesture-based user interface locked state or a contactless gesture-based user interface unlocked state based on the defined gesture sequence.
