Abstract: A transponder communicates with a reader using active load modulation. The transponder includes a digital phase locked loop (DPLL), which, in operation, generates an active load modulation (ALM) carrier clock synchronized to carrier clock of the reader. Between transmission of data frames, the DPLL is placed in a lock mode of operation in which a feedback loop of the DPLL is closed. Within a transmitted data frame having a duration, the DPLL is placed, for the duration of the transmitted data frame, in a hold mode of operation in which the feedback loop is opened. A phase of the ALM carrier clock is adjusted at least once during the duration of the transmitted data frame.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a SPAD array and readout circuitry coupled thereto. The readout circuitry generates a depth map having a first resolution, and a signal count map having a second resolution greater than the first resolution. The depth map corresponds to distance observations to an object. The signal count map corresponds to intensity observation sets of the object, with each intensity observation set including intensity observations corresponding to a respective distance observation in the depth map. An upscaling processor is coupled to the readout circuitry to calculate upscaling factors for each intensity observation set so that each distance observation has respective upscaling factors associated therewith. The depth map is then upscaled from the first resolution to the second resolution based on the respective upscaling factors.

Abstract: An electronic device includes at least one laser source configured to direct laser radiation toward a user's hand. Laser detectors are configured to receive reflected laser radiation from the user's hand. A controller is coupled to the at least one laser source and laser detectors and configured to determine a set of distance values to the user's hand for each respective laser detector and based upon a time-of-flight of the laser radiation. The controller also determines a hand gesture from among a plurality of possible hand gestures based upon the sets of distance values using Bayesian probabilities.

Abstract: A method determines a movement of an apparatus between capturing first and second images. The method includes testing model hypotheses of the movement by for example a RANSAC algorithm, operating on a set of first points in the first image and assumed corresponding second points in the second image to deliver the best model hypothesis. The testing includes, for each first point, calculating a corresponding estimated point using the tested model hypothesis, determining the back-projection error between the estimated point and the second point in the second image, and comparing each back projection error with a threshold. The testing comprises for each first point, determining a correction term based on an estimation of the depth of the first point in the first image and an estimation of the movement between the first and second images, and determining the threshold associated with the first point by using said correction term.

Abstract: A silicon on insulator substrate includes a semiconductor bulk handle wafer, an insulating layer on said semiconductor bulk handle wafer and a semiconductor film on said insulating layer. An opening extends completely through the semiconductor film and insulating layer to expose a surface of the semiconductor bulk handle wafer. Epitaxial material fills the opening and extends on said semiconductor film, with the epitaxial material and semiconductor film forming a thick semiconductor film. A trench isolation surrounds a region of the thick semiconductor film to define an electrical contact made to the semiconductor bulk handle wafer through the opening.

Abstract: A method includes a) counting whole periods of a signal during a first period of a reference signal, b) repeating step a) for each period of the reference signal until a first duration is equal to a first quantity of periods of the reference signal, and c) determining a first average of the whole periods. The method also includes repeating at least one of steps a) to c) and at each repetition shifting a start of the counting of step a) by at least one period of the reference signal, and in steps b) and c) accounting for whole periods of the signal already counted during the at least one preceding group of steps a) and b). The method includes determining a second average of the first averages, and determining the frequency of the signal from the second average and the frequency of the reference signal.

Abstract: A Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) includes a first optical path with a first diode coupled to a first voltage signal node and configured to modify a phase of a first light signal transmitted through the first optical path. A further diode is positioned in the first optical path and configured to introduce a phase shift to the first light signal. A second optical path includes a second diode coupled to a second voltage signal node and configured to modify a phase of a second light signal transmitted through the second optical path. A first voltage signal carried on the first voltage signal node and a second voltage signal carried on the second voltage signal node each vary between a reverse biasing voltage level and a forward biasing voltage level. An optical coupler is coupled to the first and second optical paths.
