    摘要: A chain of processing element (10a, 10, 10b) with a logic circuit (14) and a storage element (12) is provided. The storage elements (12) of all except a final processing element (10b) in the chain have one or more outputs coupled to the logic (14) of a next processing element (10a, 10, 10b) in the chain. A timing circuit (16) controls respective loading time points at which the storage elements (12) load data from the logic circuits (14) in respective ones of the processing elements (10a, 10, 10b). The data is loaded progressively later in processing elements (10a, 10, 10b) that successively precede one another in the chain. The time interval between successive loading time points of the final processing element (10b) includes loading time points of loading all processing elements (10a, 10) other than the final processing element (10).

    摘要: The electronic circuit contains a basic delay circuit (14). A delay is realized by activating the same basic delay circuit (14) a plurality of times in response to a single start signal before generating a response to that start signal. A control circuit (12) receives a start signal and an outputs a response. The control circuit (12) causes a series of signals to be passed through the delay circuit (14), the series starting at a time that is time-continuously triggered by the start signal. Each successive signal in the series starts after a preceding signal has emerged from the delay circuit (12) and the series being terminated after a controlled number of more than one signal has been passed. The control circuit (12) supplies the response upon termination of the series. In one embodiment the series is realized by means of a handshake sequencing circuit (120) that generates a series of successive handshake transactions.

    摘要: A locally synchronous circuit module has a delay circuit having and input and output coupled to a clock input. The delay circuit provides a delay which when incorporated in a clock oscillator ensures a clock period that is at least as long as needed to transfer information between the storage elements. A handshake circuit is provided for generating handshake signals for timing information transfer between the locally synchronous circuit module and a further circuit. The handshake circuit comprises the delay circuit, so that at least part of the handshake signals during a handshake transaction are timed by traveling through the delay circuit and are applied to the clock input to clock the locally synchronous circuit module.

    摘要: The present invention proposes to analyze movements of objects in video sequences (e.g. sport videos), by performing motion estimation to determine motion vectors at each frame. With the calculated motion vectors, the movements of the object(s) (e.g. athlete(s)) can be quantitatively measured. Based on this, movements in two videos can be compared at each individual frame of the video sequence. Different approaches (e.g., color coding) can be used to visualize and compare the movements. With motion estimation, intermediate frames can also be inserted to enable better movement comparison in two given videos.

    摘要: Special test measures are required to test an asynchronous timing circuit. The asynchronous timing circuit (14) comprises a time-continuous feedback loop (22, 26) with a combinatorial logic circuit (22) with inputs for a feedback signal and a further signal, the feedback loop having positive loop gain. A test prepared circuit that contains the timing circuit is switched to a test mode. In the test mode test data through is shifted through a shift register structure (12). The further input signal of the feedback loop is controlled dependent on test data from the shift register structure (12). The time-continuous feedback loop (22, 26) is initially broken in the test mode, substituting test data from a register (31) in the shift register structure (12) for a feedback signal. Subsequently the time-continuous feedback loop is restored in the test mode after the further signal has stabilized. A test result that has been determined by the feedback loop is captured while the feedback loop is restored, for transport through the shift register structure (12). In this way no register needs to be added in the feedback loop for test purposes. As a result testability of the asynchronous timing circuit only imposes a minimum of delay.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for increasing the security of circuits against unauthorized access, both of which can be used in particular to improve the security of cards, and particularly smart cards, against attacks in which the differential power analysis approach (DPA) is followed.DPA is a procedure that makes it possible to obtain not only purely functional details but also internal information stored in integrated circuits (e.g. smart-card controllers). The majority of non-clocked classes of circuit have the property that the performance of the circuit adjusts automatically to the voltage available.The invention adopts a new approach to enable integrated circuits and particularly non-clocked handshake logic to be protected against DPA. Advantage is taken in this case of a special property of self-timed logic by using a special power supply. As a result the processes in the self-timed logic take place in an unpredictable way and current consumption becomes affected by severe noise and DPA cannot be successfully applied.
