摘要: The present disclosure relates to phase alignment, in particular to phase alignment circuitry (and parts thereof) for example for use in a multiplexer or other circuitry in which data is transmitted from one stage to another. Consideration is given to phase detection and phase rotation. Such circuitry may be implemented as integrated circuitry, for example on an IC chip.

摘要: A method of evaluating image data representative of a display icon relative to reference data representative of a reference icon to determine whether the display icon matches the reference icon, the reference icon comprising at least first and second image regions which are distinct in image contrast from one another, the image data defining pixel values corresponding to pixels of the display icon, the method comprising: for each of a plurality of areas of the display icon, categorising that area as corresponding to one or none of the image regions based on a comparison between the pixel value or values for that area and at least a plurality of pixel-value ranges defined in relation to the reference icon, the pixel-value ranges corresponding to respective said image regions and defined so as to ensure sufficient image contrast between areas categorised as corresponding to different said image regions; generating categorisation information representative of the image data indicating how the plurality of areas have been categorised; and determining whether the display icon matches the reference icon based on a comparison of the categorisation information and the reference data.

摘要: A semiconductor device includes: element isolation regions (14); a projecting semiconductor region (11); a plurality of first gate electrodes (12A) each formed on both side surfaces and a top surface of a portion of the projecting semiconductor region, the plurality of first gate electrodes being formed between a pair of opposed end portions of the element isolation regions; at least one second gate electrode (12B) formed between the first gate electrodes, in the same layer as a layer where the plurality of first gate electrodes are formed, and applied with a voltage for turning off a transistor; and source regions and drain regions formed in the projecting semiconductor region at both sides of the first gate electrodes and the second gate electrode. Between transistors each including the first gate electrode, a transistor including the second gate electrode applied with the voltage for turning off the transistors is disposed, thereby making it possible to reduce the heat generation in the transistors without reducing the saturation current of the transistors.
