A touch sensitive matrix display senses touch input in sense periods (SP) which are selected to occur non-concurrently with data (DA) written to the pixels (10) of the matrix display during the addressing period (AP). As now, no data (DA) is written to the display while the sensing is performed during the sense periods (SP), the sensing will be less complicated. The sense periods (SP) are selected to occur in-between successive addressing periods (AP) because the display has pixels (10) of which the optical state is maintained substantially longer than the addressing period (AP) lasts. Such a hold period (HP) which lasts substantially longer than the addressing period (AP) is for example available in bistable displays such as electrophoretic displays.

The present invention relates to a method for comparison between a first optical signal (.PHI..sub.1) and at least one other signal. The invention can for instance be used for image recognition. In this application it is a problem to be able to perform parallel processing of the content of an image. This problem among others is solved in connection with the invention by illuminating a MIS-structure (11; FIG. 1) with the first optical signal (.PHI..sub.1), which creates an optically induced change in the surface potential of the MIS-structure and by influencing the surface potential also by said at least one other signal by illuminating the MIS-structure (11; FIG. 1) with a second optical signal (.PHI..sub.2) or by applying the signal in the form of a voltage across the structure or by providing the structure with charge in the insulator or its interfaces or by a combination of these methods and by varying at least one of all signals as a function of time.

A multi-scale finite-volume (MSFV) method to solve elliptic problems with a plurality of spatial scales arising from single or multi-phase flows in porous media is provided. Two sets of locally computed basis functions are employed. A first set of basis functions captures the small-scale heterogeneity of the underlying permeability field, and it is computed to construct the effective coarse-scale transmissibilities. A second set of basis functions is required to construct a conservative fine-scale velocity field. The method efficiently captures the effects of small scales on a coarse grid, is conservative, and treats tensor permeabilities correctly. The underlying idea is to construct transmissibilities that capture the local properties of a differential operator. This leads to a multi-point discretization scheme for a finite-volume solution algorithm. Transmissibilities for the MSFV method are preferably constructed only once as a preprocessing step and can be computed locally. Therefore, this step is well suited for massively parallel computers. Furthermore, a conservative fine-scale velocity field can be constructed from a coarse-scale pressure solution which also satisfies the proper mass balance on the fine scale. A transport problem is ideally solved iteratively in two stages. In the first stage, a fine scale velocity field is obtained from solving a pressure equation. In the second stage, the transport problem is solved on the fine cells using the fine-scale velocity field. A solution may be computed on the coarse cells at an incremental time and properties, such as a mobility coefficient, may be generated for the fine cells at the incremental time. If a predetermined condition is not met for all fine cells inside a dual coarse control volume, then the dual and fine scale basis functions in that dual coarse control volume are reconstructed.

A coupling device for use between a digital computer supplying incremental control signals and a plurality of analog stations which are respectively controlled by analog control signals, said coupling device comprising, for each station, two photocouplings for receiving pulses representing the increasing variations and decreasing variations respectively, of said incremental control signals, and an integrator for receiving the outputs of said photocouplings to supply the corresponding analog quantities to the analog stations, the photocouplings being adapted to ensure a galvanic isolation between the analog stations themselves on the one hand and the analog stations in relation to the coupling on the other hand, while allowing a very short coupling occupation time.
