    摘要: Hard-open defects between logic gates of, for example, an address decoder and the voltage supply which result in logical and sequential delay behavior render a memory conditionally inoperative. A method and apparatus for testing integrated circuits for these types of faults is proposed, in which two cells of two logically adjacent rows or columns are written with complementary logic data. If a read operation reveals the data in the two cells to be identical, the presence and location of a hard-open defect is demonstrated. The read and write operations each occur as a result of a clock pulse, and the method includes the steps of setting a clock cycle such that, in the event that said first cell is demonstrating slow-to-fall behavior, the reading cycle will be caused to be performed before the logic state of said first cell has fallen to its minimum level, and/or of setting the width of said clock pulses such that, in the event that the first cell is demonstrating slow-to-rise behavior, the reading cycle will be caused to be performed before the logic state of said first cell has risen to its maximum level.

    摘要: The invention relates to video transcoding between a first and second video standard, such as H.264 and MPEG-2. A video transcoder (201) comprises an interface (203) that receives a video signal in accordance with a first video encoding standard. The video signal is decoded in a decoder (207). An extraction processor (209) extracts motion estimation data from the first video signal, preferably as part of the decoding process. A motion estimation data processor (211) generates second motion estimation data, compatible with a second video encoding standard having a different set of motion estimation options, from the first motion estimation data. The second motion estimation data is generated by projecting motion estimation block positions between reference pictures, aligning prediction blocks with a block position framework and adjusting the prediction block sizes. The second motion estimation data is fed to an encoder (213) which encodes the decoded signal in accordance with the second video encoding standard using the second motion estimation data.

    摘要: A method for matching grayvalued first elements of a first data set with grayvalued second elements of a second data set so that a first distribution of the first elements optimally matches a second distribution of the second elements, said method being characterized by the following steps: mapping said first elements on said second elements and evaluating a local grayvalue distribution difference between any mapped first element and its associated second element; from said local grayvalue distribution difference deriving for each said first element a force vector of a force field, said force vector indicating a preferred motion size and direction; combining said separate force vectors into a single force and a single torque value acting on said first elements collectively, for iteratively moving said first elements collectively to an amended mapping that improves a match between said first and second distributions.

    摘要: A display device has pixels 41 arranged in rows and columns 42,44 addressed by a grid of first and second addressing conductors 50,52. The addressing conductors 50,52 are not parallel with the pixel rows or pixel columns 42,44. This arrangement decouples the row and columns of pixels from the addressing conductors. This provides freedom in the positioning of the driver circuits, which are positioned at the ends of the first and second conductors, which in turn gives greater design freedom for the shape and position of the display in a product.

    摘要: The invention relates to the generating of images by means of a two-dimensional field of image sensors, notably by means of a flat dynamic X-ray detector FDXD. In order to adhere to with the maximum data rate Gmax of an evaluation unit (1) it is necessary to satisfy the relation y.f/b £ Gmax between the width x and the height y of a sub-region of the image sensor read out, the imaging rate f and the binning factor b. In conformity with the method, parameters defining the size, position and/or shape of the sub-region can be preset at will, the other variables of the inequality being adapted, if necessary, in such a manner that the inequality remains satisfied. In the context of the method there is also performed a mosaic calibration during which calibration images of the complete image sensor are composed from calibration images of sub-regions.

    摘要: An adaptive filtering device and method where at least one adaptive filter receives an input signal and a metering device receives an output of the at least one adaptive filter, monitors a characteristic of the output, such as power of high-frequency components, and forwards a correction signal in a feedback loop to adjust the characteristic of the at least one filter in order to change the characteristic of the output. An adaptive filtering device (200) and method where two low-pass FIR filters (202, 204) receive an input signal, a weighted adder (206) receives outputs from the two low-pass FIR filters and changes a weighting of each to produce filtered output data, and a controller (208) that receives a cutoff frequency (203), supplies the cut-off frequency to the two low-pass FIR filters, and supplies a signal to the weighted adder for varying the weighting of each of the low-pass FIR filters to switch therebetween.
