Abstract:
The objective of the present invention is to make it possible to execute each of a plurality of application programs without taking into account the addresses of the programs. A microcomputer (100) is provided with: a program memory (108) which stores a plurality of microphone programs executed by a digital signal processing circuit (104); an address control circuit (109) which controls addresses in the program memory; a program address register (110) which stores the addresses of the microphone programs; and a program size register (111) which stores the sizes of the microphone programs. The address control circuit (109) calculates the addresses in the program memory on the basis of the program address register (110) and the program size register (111).
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed dynamic compression/decompression (codec) configuration. In general, a device may include a codec configuration module to determine a configuration for use by the codec based on configuration criteria. The configuration criteria may include, for example, data characteristic information, system condition information and user expectation information. The configuration information may be used to select a codec configuration from one or more available codec configurations. For example, a benchmark module also in the device may determine the available codec configurations. After a codec configuration has been selected, it may be set in the codec. It may also be possible for the codec configuration module to monitor for changes in device operation (e.g., changes in the configuration criteria) and to update the codec configuration based on the monitored changes.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for amplifying an echo signal, wherein an analogue echo signal suitable for vehicle environment detection is amplified by means of an amplification based on the runtime of the echo signal, wherein the analogue echo signal is amplified by means of an amplifier having a plurality of outputs, each with different amplification and a downstream A/D converter with a time-variable reference voltage. At the same time, switching occurs between the different outputs of the amplifier at predefined switchover times and the reference voltage of the A/D converter varies time-wise between the switching times in such a manner that at the output of the A/D converter the echo signal is present with a runtime-dependent overall amplification, which has a predefined profile.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a communication device using power line communication (D1) provided in one system (S1) coupled to another system (S2) via a power cable (CE) comprising a pilot line (LP) having a first impedance, which encounters at least second and third impedances and through which a first analog signal passes in a first frequency band. Said device (D1) is arranged so as to: i) generate, from a local digital signal, a second analog power line communication signal having frequencies included in a second frequency band that has minimal overlap with the first frequency band; ii) supply the second analog signal to the pilot line (LP) via a capacitive means (C1); and iii) extract, from the analog signals passing through the pilot line (LP), each second analog signal in order to convert the latter into a digital signal to be processed by the system (S1).
