There is provided a controller for a display device, the controller comprising a processor configured to receive an indication of the orientation of a user of the display device; receive an indication of the orientation of the display device; and generate a graphical representation of a user of the display device using the received indications, such that the orientation of the graphical representation of the user is adapted based on the orientation of the display device.

In order to create a record carrier having a side-channel which cannot be copied with a channel-bit recorder, the record carrier (1) has a modulated spiral. By modulating one or more of the spiral parameters, like the channel bit length or the track pitch, a side-channel is created. If a record carrier having such a side-channel is copied using a channel-bit recorder, the information present in the side-channel is lost. The number of bits to be stored in the modulated spiral can be selected as desired; also the way in which the bits are present can be selected; the bits can e.g. can be stored in different bands (A,B,C,D) present on the record carrier, in which band the spiral parameter modulated can be kept constant.

There is provided a method of increasing boot-up speed in a computer system (10). The system (10) includes computing devices (20) for processing data and a data store (60) coupled thereto for providing data to and receiving data from the devices (20). The store (60) is operable to write and/or read data in several regions (T1, T2, T3) of a data medium (200). Access between the regions is subject to associated jump delays (SK1/2, SK2/3; SK1/3, SL3/2). The store (60) includes a cache (320) for temporarily storing data read from and/or for writing data to the medium (200). On initial boot-up of the system (20), a log is made of a sequence in which the regions (T1, T2, T3) are accessed. Moreover, on subsequent boot-up of the system (10), the log is used to store data read from the medium (200) temporarily in the cache (310, 320) so as to provide for a more temporally efficient sequence of accessing the regions (T1, T2, T3) for speeding up said subsequent boot-up.

A universal memory device is presented that provides adaptability to existing hardware and software environments. The memory can 'mimic' existing memory technology combining the advantages of integration all memory capacity in to one single technology and still providing the implicit protections and access characteristics known from the different existing memory technologies. The memory device comprises a memory having a plurality of low-latency, rewritable, non-volatile memory cells forming at least one memory section, a profile storage unit connected with said memory and comprising access information allocated to at least one set of request information elements (r: quest profile), such that said access information indicates whether a request for access to said memory (access request), said access request having said request profile, is to be allowed or rejected, and an access control unit communicating with said profile storage unit and said memory, and adapted to allow or reject an incoming access request in dependence on the access information allocated to the request profile of the access request.

Real-time audio video applications require guaranteed request service times from a hard disc drive. This requirement is not always fulfilled due to some unexpected delays in service times. Re-allocated sectors are one of the causes of such delays. A scheme for conversion of re-maps into slips in a hard disc drive is suggested. Converting re-allocated sectors into slipped or skipped sectors can prevent such a delay, since slipped sectors cause much less or even negligible performance loss than re-allocated sectors.

Real-time audio video applications require guaranteed request service times from a hard disc drive. This requirement is not always fulfilled due to some unexpected delays in service times. One of the causes of such delay is the replacement of defective or bad sectors. By putting spare sectors on each track and extending the track skew in combination with read-and-write-on-arrival strategies it is possible to prevent extra delays in service times due to replacement of sectors.

A method for automatically monitoring consciousness of a person and triggering an alarm if the monitored person is not in a state of full consciousness is provided. The method comprises the steps: monitoring at least one aspect of the behavior of the person (S1); analyzing whether the monitored behavior of the person corresponds to an expected behavior for a state of full consciousness or not (S2, S2′); triggering an alarm if the analysis results in that the detected behavior does not correspond to the expected behavior (S3).

An apparatus and method (4,5,6,7,2) for capacitive measurement of electrophysiological signals (1) suppresses or reduces motion artifacts by providing a feedback mechanism. An average voltage between a capacitive sensor electrode (1) and the body (3) is controlled so as to reduce or minimize motion-induced signals.

The invention relates to method and a system of interpreting angular orientation data. It is determined, whether the angular deviation of a current angular orientation (C) of a sensor device (12) from a last extreme angular orientation (L) currently decreases after having increased before up to a provisional new extreme angular orientation (P), thereby determining that the provisional new extreme angular orientation (P) is a new extreme angular orientation. Information relating to a new extreme angular orientation, such as an angular range of motion, may be output to a user.
