摘要： Embodiments are directed to devices and methods including a time-of-flight sensor and a camera. In one embodiment, a device is provided that includes a time-of-flight sensor, distance estimation circuitry, a camera, and processing circuitry. The time-of-flight sensor transmits an optical pulse signal and receives return optical pulse signals corresponding to portions of the transmitted optical pulse signal reflected by an object. The distance estimation circuitry estimates a minimum distance to the object based on a time between transmitting the optical pulse signal and receiving a first portion of the return optical pulse signals, and estimates a maximum distance to the object based on a time between transmitting the optical pulse signal and receiving a second portion of the return optical pulse signals. The processing circuitry controls a focus distance and an aperture setting of the camera based on the estimated minimum and maximum distances to the object.

摘要： A decoding logic method is arranged to execute a zero-overhead loop in an embedded digital signal processor (DSP). In the method, instruction data is fetched from a memory, and a plurality of instruction tokens, which are derived from the instruction data, are stored in a token buffer. A first portion of one or more instruction tokens from the token buffer are passed to a first decode module, which may be an instruction decode module, and a second portion of the one or more instruction tokens from the token buffer are passed to a second decode module, which may be a loop decode module. The second decode module detects a special loop instruction token, and based on the detection of the special loop instruction token, a loop counter is conditionally tested. Using the first decode module, at least one instruction token of an iterative algorithm is assembled into a single instruction, which is executable in a single execution cycle. Based on the conditional test of the loop counter, the first decode module further assembles a loop branch instruction of the iterative algorithm into the single instruction executable in one execution cycle.

摘要： Some microprocessors check branch prediction information in a branch history table and/or a branch target buffer. To check for branch prediction information, a microprocessor can identify which instructions are control flow instructions and which instructions are non control flow instructions. To reduce power consumption in the branch history table and/or branch target buffer, the branch history table and/or branch target buffer can check for branch prediction information corresponding to the control flow instructions and not the non control flow instructions.

摘要： In a network-on-chip (NoC) system, multiple data messages may be transferred among modules of the system. Power consumption due to the transfer of the messages may affect a cost and overall performance of the system. A described technique provides a way to reduce a volume of data transferred in the NoC system by exploiting redundancy of data messages. Thus, if a data message to be sent from a source in the NoC includes so-called “zero” bytes that are bytes including only bits set to “0,” such zero bytes may not be transmitted in the NoC. Information on whether each byte of the data message is a zero byte may be recorded in a storage such as a data structure. This information, together with non-zero bytes of the data message, may form a compressed version of the data message. The information may then be used to uncompress the compressed data message at a destination.
摘要翻译：在片上网络（NoC）系统中，可以在系统的模块之间传送多个数据消息。由于消息传送引起的功耗可能会影响系统的成本和整体性能。所描述的技术提供了一种通过利用数据消息的冗余来减少在NoC系统中传送的数据量的方法。因此，如果要从NoC中的源发送的数据消息包括仅包括设置为“0”的字节的所谓的“零”字节，那么这种零字节可能不会在NoC中发送。关于数据消息的每个字节是否为零字节的信息可以被记录在诸如数据结构的存储器中。该信息与数据消息的非零字节可以形成数据消息的压缩版本。然后可以使用该信息来在目的地解压缩压缩数据消息。

摘要： In mesh networks having multiple nodes that communicate data to and from each other, a great number of data transmissions may be initiated and carried out to get data to a proper processing node for execution. To get data where it needs to go (e.g., the proper destination node), a routing algorithm is used to define a set of rules for efficiently passing data from node to node until the destination node is reached. For the purpose of assuring that all data is properly transferred from node to node in a reasonably efficient manner, a routing algorithm may define subsets of nodes into regions and then send data via the regions. Even greater overall efficiency may be realized by recognizing specific adjacency relationships among a group of destination nodes and taking advantage of such adjacencies by rerouting data through regions other than the region in which a destination node resides.
摘要翻译：在具有向彼此传递数据的多个节点的网状网络中，可以启动并执行大量数据传输以将数据传送到适当的处理节点以供执行。为了获得需要去的数据（例如，适当的目的地节点），使用路由算法来定义用于有效地将数据从节点传递到节点的规则集，直到到达目的地节点。为了确保以合理有效的方式从节点到节点正确传输所有数据，路由算法可以将节点的子集定义为区域，然后经由区域发送数据。通过识别一组目的地节点之间的特定邻接关系并且通过重新路由数据通过除了目的地节点驻留的区域之外的区域来利用这种相邻性，可以实现更高的整体效率。

摘要： The present disclosure is directed to a permanent magnet motor control method and system. A new structure configuration of a permanent magnet motor has a rotor with two or more permanent magnets attached thereon, a stator wound in a “Y” topology with three coils (windings) arranged at 120 degree among one another, and a neutral point of the wound stator wired in a manner that the voltage at the neutral point may be detected in substantially real time. The detected neutral point voltages are analyzed together with the associated vectors of the excitation current provided to the windings of the stator to determine a speed of the rotor. The determined speed of the rotor is used for vector control.

摘要： A method includes upon sensing a touch to a first location on a touch display, reporting first coordinates of the touch. After sensing movement of the touch along a first path from the first location to a second location more than a tolerance distance away, intermediate coordinates of the touch along the first path that are not more than a cutoff distance away are reported such that there is a first gap between a last reported intermediate coordinate and the second location. After sensing movement of the touch along a second path from the second location to a third location more, second coordinates of the touch are reported, the second reported coordinates of the touch being a point along the first path that is calculated by subtracting the first gap from a distance between the first location and the third location, and then adding a first compensation difference thereto.
