    Abstract: A method for correcting an image from defects and filtering from Gaussian noise corrects each pixel of the image when it is considered defective and filters it from Gaussian noise in one-pass. The one-pass improves the speed for performing the correcting and filtering. The drawbacks associated with choosing incompatible defect correction and filtering operations are overcome.

    Abstract: A method is provided for obtaining an image with a large dynamic range. An image is acquired such that each image pixel is represented by a plurality of values obtained at the same time but for different integration levels (effective exposures). For each pixel, a representative value is selected among those available, such that it is neither saturated nor blackened.

    Abstract: An address counter for a nonvolatile memory device includes a cascade of cells. Each cell includes an address counting flip-flop that is updated to a value of every newly counted address bit, or latches a column address bit value input by an external user of the memory device during ALE cycles for addressing a start memory location on a selected page. Each cell further includes an additional address loading flip-flop for loading the column address bit value input during ALE cycles for addressing the start memory location on the selected page during the ALE cycles. A logic circuit updates the address counting flip flop to the address bit value during a read confirm cycle in a read sequence, and during a first data input cycle in a program sequence.
