Abstract: A method and device for real-time generation of a multiresolution representation of a digital image for real-time generation are disclosed. A sequence of main representations of the digital image is stored at successive different main resolutions in a main memory. A part of a current main representation is loaded from the main memory into a local memory via a bus. A current main representation is processed by determining a corresponding part of an intermediate representation of the image having an intermediate resolution lying between the resolution of the current main representation and the resolution of the subsequent main representation. The loading and processing steps are repeated for other parts of the current main representation until all parts of the current main representation have been successively loaded and processed.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a method for transmitting a message in a data path of a network, the method includes transmitting a message onto an input bus of an input interface module, the message being received in flits of a size corresponding to the width of the input bus and generating a validity indicator for each elementary flit constituting each flit received. The message is transmitted onto an output bus of the input interface module towards a receiving interface module in flits of a size corresponding to the width of the output bus along with each validity indicator generated in association with the corresponding elementary flit. The receiving interface module receives flits constituting the message and the associated validity indicators and rejects a received flit if an elementary flit of the received flit is associated with a validity indicator in the invalid state.

Abstract: A proximity sensor having a relatively small footprint includes a substrate, a semiconductor die, a light emitting device, and a cap. The light emitting device overlies the semiconductor die. The semiconductor die is secured to the substrate and includes a sensor area capable of detecting light from by the light emitting device. The cap also is secured to the substrate and includes a light barrier that prevents some of the light emitted by the light emitting device from reaching the sensor area. In one embodiment, the light emitting device and the semiconductor die are positioned on the same side of the substrate, wherein the light emitting device is positioned on the semiconductor die. In another embodiment, the light emitting device is positioned on one side of the substrate and the semiconductor die is positioned on an opposing side of the substrate.

Abstract: A method for transmitting data in series includes producing a scrambled signal by applying a scrambling using a pseudo-random sequence to an incoming serial signal conveying the data and producing an outgoing serial signal from the scrambled signal. After each sequence of N consecutive bits at the same state in the scrambled signal, a dummy bit of reverse state is inserted in the outgoing signal.
