20110060975	SYSTEM FOR DETECTING OPERATING ERRORS IN INTEGRATED CIRCUITS - Errors induced by noise pulses in digital electronic circuits clocked with a clock signal are detected by providing at least one additional clock signal offset in time with respect to the clock signal by a given interval, and performing for at least one component of the circuit a comparison of correspondence between two versions of one and the same signal. The comparison is clocked by the additional clock signal and the absence of correspondence between the two versions of said signal identifies an error induced in the circuit by a noise pulse.	03-10-2011

20080294871	MULTIDIMENSIONAL PROCESSOR ARCHITECTURE - A processor architecture includes a number of processing elements for treating input signals. The architecture is organized according to a matrix including rows and columns, the columns of which each include at least one microprocessor block having a computational part and a set of associated processing elements that are able to receive the same input signals. The number of associated processing elements is selectively variable in the direction of the column so as to exploit the parallelism of said signals. Additionally the processor architecture of the present invention enable dynamic switching between instruction parallelism and data parallel processing typical of vectorial functionality. The architecture can be scaled in various dimensions in an optimal configuration for the algorithm to be executed.	11-27-2008

20080211701	PROCESS AND DEVICES FOR TRANSMITTING DIGITAL SIGNALS OVER BUSES AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT THEREFORE - Digital signals are transmitted on a bus at given instants selectively in a non-encoded format and an encoded format. The decision whether to transmit the signals in non-encoded format or in encoded format is taken in part, based on a comparison of the signal to be transmitted on the bus for an instant of the aforesaid given instants with the signal transmitter on the bus for the preceding instant, so as to minimize switching activity on the bus.	09-04-2008
