Abstract:
Methods of processing a frame in a video sequence of digital images are described, the methods comprising: determining a global motion vector for the frame relative to a previous frame in the sequence; deriving a jitter function from the global motion vector, the jitter function comprising an estimate of undesired motion of the frame relative to the previous frame; determining whether the frame is blurred above a first predetermined threshold; and if so, stabilising the frame using the jitter function and applying a deblur function to the frame.

Abstract:
There is described a method for establishing an NFC connection between a subscriber identity module (SIM) and an NFC device (RDR). The subscriber identity module (SIM) is connected to a telecommunications system (CELL_P) through contacts (VCC, RST, CLK, D+, GND, SWP, IO, D−) of the telecommunications system (CELL_P). The telecommunications system (CELL_P) comprises a chipset (CHP) and an NFC circuit (NFCC). The method comprises measuring the level of charge of a battery (BATT) powering the telecommunications system (CELL_P) with a battery gauge. Based on the measurement, the method selects the source for supplying power to the subscriber identity module (SIM) and configures the wiring of the subscriber identity module (SIM). The disclosure also relates, in particular, to a telecommunications system, to a computer program, and to a storage medium.
Abstract:
A control circuit (115), a control method, a DC-DC converter and an electronic device are provided. The control circuit (115) is used to control the DC-DC converter to switch its operation modes. In the control circuit (115), whether mode of the DC-DC converter is to be switched is judged according to parameters of a first duration of an active duration and a second duration of an inactive duration. Comparison of analogue values is prevented, and as a result, the use of the analogue comparator is reduced, thus the influence of the semiconductor processes on designing a controller can be reduced.

Methods of configuring dynamic memory associated with a processing system, are described. The dynamic memory is configured in a plurality of blocks, the method comprises: a) receiving information relating to a utilisation status of the memory; b) processing the received information to determine at least one first block of the memory that is currently not in use for information storage; and c) configuring the at least one first block to be excluded from an information refresh process.
Abstract:
A signal filter (100) comprises a first transferred impedance filter, TIF, (TIFA) having four differential signal paths (PA,1, PA,2, PA,3, PA,4) and a second TIF (TIFB) having four differential signal paths (PB,1, PB,2, PB,3, PB,4)−. A first differential signal port of the first TIF (32A) is coupled to a first differential signal port of the second TIF (32B). A first clock generator (12A) is arranged to provide first-TIF clock signals (CLKA,I+, CLKA,Q+, CLKA,I−, CLKA,Q−) having four non-overlapping phases for selecting the respective first-TIF differential signal paths (PA,1, PA,2, PA,3, PA,4), and a second clock generator (12B) is arranged to provide second-TIF clock signals (CLKB,I+, CLKB,Q+, CLKB,J−, CLKB,Q−) having four non-overlapping phases for selecting the respective second-TIF differential signal paths (PB,1, PB,2, PB,3, PB,4). The phases of the second-TIF clock signals (CLKB,I+, CLKB,Q+, CLKB,Q−) are equal to the phases of the first-TIF clock signals (CLKA,I+, CLKA,Q+, CLKA,I−, CLKA,Q−) delayed by 45 degrees. The first-TIF first, second, third and fourth clock signals (CLKA,I+, CLKA,Q+, CLKA,I−L, CLKAQ−) and the second-TIF first, second, third and fourth clock signals (CLKB,I+, CLKB,Q+, CLKB,I−, CLKB,Q−) have a duty cycle in the range 16.75% to 25%.
