    Abstract: The method of determining a focus measure from an image includes detecting one or more edges in the image by processing the image with one or more first order edge detection kernels adapted to reject edge phasing effects. A first measure of the strength of each of the edges, and the contrast of each of the edges may be determined. The method may include normalizing the first measure of the strength of each of the edges by the contrast of each of the edges to obtain a second measure of the strength of each of the edges, and resealing the second measure of the strength of each of the edges. The method may also include selecting one or more of the edges from the image in accordance with the second measure of their strengths, and calculating the focus measure from the second measure of the strengths of the selected edges.

    Abstract: Pins on an RFIC package carry RF signals between the package and a PCB. A first capacitor is coupled between a selected pin of the RFIC package near the pins carrying the RF signals and a radio-frequency ground on the PCB. A coupling between the RFIC package and the PCB is modeled, and includes modeling of the pins of interest and at least one parasitic element of the coupling. A capacitance of the first capacitor is selected based on the modeling to obtain desired performance at selected operational frequencies. A second capacitor may be coupled between the selected pin a radio frequency ground of the RFIC package. An inductor may be coupled in parallel across the first capacitor.

    Abstract: An electronic device includes an analog-to-digital converter adapted to receive a radio-frequency signal and adapted to provide therefrom a digital signal, wherein the radio-frequency signal may include an interference signal. The electronic device has a controller adapted to perform a digital measure on the digital signal and adapted to generate therefrom a selection signal having a first value indicating a non-interference condition in the radio-frequency signal and having a second value indicating an interference-condition in the radio-frequency signal. A selector is adapted to transmit the digital signal in case the selection signal has the first value and to transmit a signal replacing the digital signal in case the selection signal has the second value.

    Abstract: Very small size true directional couplers have a coupling coefficient that is independent on load VSWR. The coupler uses coupled inductors with a compensation circuit including a resistor and a capacitor, or just a capacitor. Wideband operation is suitable for many portable applications such as power detection and control for GSM, DCS-PCS, CDMA/WCDMA, Bluetooth, and WLAN systems.

    Abstract: A pipelined arbitration mechanism allows a routing control decision to be effected for a later packet while a current packet is being transferred. The later packet can be issued a fixed number of cycles after the current request. The mechanism has particular advantages when used with a plurality of functional modules connected to a packet router, whereby a single functional module can generate a current request relating to a current packet and a deferred arbitration request relating to a later packet to be issued a fixed number of cycles after the current request.

    Abstract: A solid state image sensor has an array of pixels in which each column has a reset voltage line and a read line. The sensor is reset and read a row at a time, with reset-related values held in a frame buffer for subsequent subtraction from read values. Reset-related values are derived in each column by sampling the voltage during reset on one capacitor and the voltage on release of reset on a second capacitor, and differencing these values to provide an output for the frame buffer. This provides a reduction in the size of frame buffer which would otherwise be required.
