20130067259 | STANDBY OPERATION WITH ADDITIONAL MICRO-CONTROLLER - One embodiment of the present invention relates to a low-power micro-controller unit having both a standby micro-controller optimized for low power consumption and a main micro-controller optimized for high performance. A power supply is coupled to the main micro-controller and the standby micro-controller. The power supply provides power to one or more of the low-power, standby micro-controller and the high performance, main micro-controller by separate power supply paths, depending on system needs. The separate power supply paths allow the main micro-controller and the standby micro-controller operate independent of each other. During a low-power standby operating mode, power can be disconnected to the main micro-controller, while providing power to the standby micro-controller, thereby eliminating the leakage current associated with the large number of transistors in the main micro-controller, while still retaining the computational capabilities of the standby micro-controller. | 03-14-2013 |

20160055114 | HIGH-SPEED SERIAL RING - Methods and systems for transferring a high-speed data signal between more than two electronic devices within a system comprising a master device and a plurality of slave devices are presented. The master device and the plurality of slave devices are connected through high-speed links between high-speed interfaces, thereby forming a closed ring. The high-speed interfaces are comprised by the master device and each of the plurality of slave devices, respectively. A common low frequency clock signal is provided by the master device to each of the slave devices, and a high-speed interface communication method for communication between the master device and the plurality of slave devices through the high-speed links is used. | 02-25-2016 |

20130340537 | FORCE SENSOR INCLUDING SENSOR PLATE WITH LOCAL DIFFERENCES IN STIFFNESS - A force sensor for measuring forces comprises a sensor plate where at least one measuring resistor is arranged whereby deformations of the sensor plate can be detected as a result of forces to be measured. The sensor plate includes at least one local weakened area whereby deformation behavior of the sensor plate is influenced. The weakened area results in bypassing the flux of force in the sensor plate and in concentrating the forces at non-weakened portions of the sensor plate. The at least one measuring resistor is preferably arranged at such non-weakened deforming portion of the sensor plate. The at least one weakened area defines sensor plate portions separated from at least in sections, the sensor plate portions being exposed to opposite forces. The sensor plate can be mounted in a housing with an evaluation circuit, for example, and constitute a force sensor having compact dimensions and high measuring sensitivity. | 12-26-2013 |
