Abstract:
In some embodiments, a device for determining a speed of rotation of an object includes a visualization device fastened to the object. A lighting device is configured to light the visualization device by light pulses of adjustable frequency. An adjustment device is configured to adjust a frequency of the light pulses so that the visualization device appears immobile when the object is in rotation. A processor is configured to determine the speed of rotation based on the adjusted frequency.
Abstract:
The lighting of a person via incident light radiation is controlled to address dazzling. The light radiation originates from a source of light and passes through a medium of variable and controllable opacity. The position of the source of light relative to the person can vary. A zone of the eyes of the person and a position of the zone of the eyes relative to the medium is detected. A incidence of dazzling of the zone of the eyes is detected. In response to the detection, the direction of incidence of the light radiation is determined. From this determination, from the position of the zone of the eyes, a region of said medium is identified that has a projection on the face of the person which includes said zone of the eyes. The opacity of the region of the medium is then modified in a controlled manner to preclude dazzling.
Abstract:
A module incorporated within a system-on-a-chip operating in a steady-state power supply phase is powered by supplying to the module a regulated power supply voltage obtained from a feedback control loop. The receives a main power supply voltage and a negative feedback voltage. The negative feedback voltage is generated inside the system-on-a-chip starting from an effective supply voltage of the module and from a setpoint signal corresponding to a desired regulated power supply voltage.
Abstract:
Method for managing, in a receiver, a radio service continuity based on synchronized broadcasts of identical audio contents on different frequencies, comprising, the receiver being tuned to a first frequency corresponding to a first broadcast of a first audio content, a detection in the receiver of a second audio content broadcast on a second frequency, having a level of quality above a threshold and paired with the first audio content.
Abstract:
System, method, and circuitry for generating content for a programmable computing device based on user-selected configuration information. A settings registry is generated based on the user's selections. The settings registry and the user selected configuration information is utilized to generate the content, such as code, data, parameters, settings, etc. When the content is provided to the programmable computing device, the content initializes, configures, or controls one or more software and hardware aspects of the programmable computing device, such as boot sequence configurations, internal peripheral configurations, states of the programmable computing device, transitions between states of the programmable computing device, etc., and various combinations thereof.
Abstract:
A method can be used for verifying an execution of a compiled software program stored in a program memory of a processor and executed by the processor. A write operation includes assigning a destination address in a register of the processor and writing a datum at a location pointed to by the destination address contained in the register. A verification operation includes reassigning the same destination address in the same register, reading the datum contained at the location pointed to by the destination address contained in the register after the reassignment, and comparing the read datum and the written datum.
Abstract:
An electronic device is configured to support at least two configurations, one of the configurations being installed. The device includes a memory. In a limited-access region of the memory, a binary word is stored. That binary word has: a first value representative of the version of the installed configuration; and at least one second value indicating which configurations can be installed. A method of configuration of the electronic device includes determining, according to the second value, whether the configuration which attempts to be installed is permitted.
