20100318273Method and Apparatus for Controlling Traveling Speed of a Vehicle - In a method for controlling the driving speed of a vehicle that has a speed control device into which a set speed can be entered as driver command, a reference variable of the speed control device is varied within a specified or specifiable speed range of the set speed, based on an evaluation of a section of the road ahead of the driver and maintaining a minimum fuel usage in a first operating mode of the speed control device. To enable a better control of the driving speed, the method includes steps of i) detecting a change of the set speed; ii) changing over from the first operating mode to a second operating mode of the speed control device when a change of the set speed has been detected; iii) determining the reference variable in the second operating mode based on the change in such a manner that a tuning of the speed control device to a higher driving speed takes place with an increase of the set speed resulting from the change, and a tuning process of the speed control device to a lower driving speed takes place with a decrease of the set speed resulting from the change; and iv) changing back from the second operating mode to the first operating mode, if an interruption criterion is fulfilled.12-16-2010

20110102043REDUCING POWER-SUPPLY-INDUCED JITTER IN A CLOCK-DISTRIBUTION CIRCUIT - A system for compensating for power-supply-induced jitter (PSIJ) in a chain of clock buffers within an integrated circuit is described. During operation, the system couples a first supply voltage from a first voltage source to a supply node of each clock buffer in a first chain of clock buffers. Note that a change in the first supply voltage causes a change in a first propagation delay associated with the first chain of the clock buffers. The system also couples a second chain of clock buffers in series with the first chain of clock buffers. The system then couples the first voltage source to each clock buffer in the second chain of clock buffers through coupling circuitry. Next, the system adjusts the coupling circuitry so that the change in the first supply voltage from the first voltage source causes a change in a second propagation delay associated with the second chain of the clock buffers, wherein the change in the first propagation delay and the change in the second propagation delay are complementary.05-05-2011

20100123810Flicker Detection Circuit for Imaging Sensors that Employ Rolling Shutters - Circuitry, apparatus and methods provide flicker detection and improved image generation for digital cameras that employ image sensors. In one example, circuitry and methods are operative to compare a first captured frame with a second captured frame that may be, for example, sequential and consecutive or non-consecutive if desired, to determine misalignment of scene content between the frames. A realigned second frame is produced by realigning the second frame with the first frame if the frames are determined to be misaligned. Luminance data from the realigned second frame and luminance data from the pixels of the first frame are used to determine if an undesired flicker condition exists. If an undesired flicker condition is detected, exposure time control information is generated for output to the imaging sensor that captured the frame, to reduce flicker. This operation may be done, for example, during a preview mode for a digital camera, or may be performed at any other suitable time.05-20-2010
20100225789IMAGE NOISE FILTER AND METHOD - An image noise filter includes a wavelet transform module and an edge based adaptive filter module. The dual tree wavelet transform module provides low frequency wavelet information and high frequency wavelet information in response to image information. The edge based adaptive filter module provides filtered high frequency wavelet information in response to the high frequency wavelet information and edge information that is based on the low frequency wavelet information.09-09-2010

20090276558LANE MERGING - A buffer is associated with each of a plurality of data lanes of a multi-lane serial data bus. Data words are timed through the buffers of active ones of the data lanes. Words timed through buffers of active data lanes are merged onto a parallel bus such that data words from each of the active data lanes are merged onto the parallel bus in a pre-defined repeating sequence of data lanes. This approach allows other, non-active, data lanes to remain in a power conservation state.11-05-2009
20090313529METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ERROR MANAGEMENT - To derive a Hamming code to manage data errors a set of at least four parity bit positions is selected for parity bits which will protect a set of data bits (where each data bit has a data bit position in the data bit set). A syndrome is determined for each data bit position. This involves selecting a unique sub-set of at least three parity bit positions. The unique sub-set shares at least one parity bit position with at least one other unique sub-set of at least three parity bit positions. A parity bit value may then be calculated for each parity bit position based on the determined syndromes. The header of a packet may be provided with a word which defines the length of the packet and an error management code generated utilizing this word so that errors in the word may be detected and, possibly, corrected.12-17-2009
