摘要： In an integrated free-fall detection device (16) for a portable apparatus (10), an acceleration sensor (20) generates acceleration signals (A x , A y , A z ) correlated to the components of the acceleration of the portable apparatus along three detection axes (x, y, z). A dedicated purely hardware circuit (24), connected to the acceleration sensor (20), generates in a continuous way and in real-time a free-fall detection signal (F). The free-fall detection signal (F) has a first logic value in the event that the acceleration signals (A x , A y , A z ) are simultaneously lower than a respective acceleration threshold (A th ), and is sent to a processor unit (18) of the portable apparatus (10) as an interrupt signal to activate appropriate actions of protection for the portable apparatus (10). The acceleration sensor (20) and the dedicated purely hardware circuit (24) are integrated in a single chip, and the acceleration sensor (20) is made as a MEMS.

摘要： A device for stabilizing images acquired by a digital-image sensor includes a motion-sensing device, for detecting quantities correlated to pitch and yaw movements of the digital-image sensor, and a processing unit, connectable to the digital-image sensor for receiving a first image signal and configured for extracting a second image signal from the first image signal on the basis of the quantities detected by the motion-sensing device. The motion-sensing device includes a first accelerometer and a second accelerometer.

摘要： In a device (2) for determining the position (P1(x, y) ) of a touch on a contact surface (1a), a plurality of vibration sensors (4) are configured to detect mechanical vibrations (9) generated by the touch on the contact surface (1a) and to generate corresponding vibration signals, and a processing circuit (6) is connected to the vibration sensors (4) and is configured to determine the touch position (P1 (x, y) ) via a time-of-f light algorithm, based on differences between times of detection (t1, t2, t3) of the mechanical vibrations (9) by the vibration sensors (4).
