20120274393 | DYNAMIC BIASING CIRCUIT FOR A PROTECTION STAGE USING LOW VOLTAGE TRANSISTORS - A biasing circuit may include an input configured to receive a supply voltage, a value of which is higher than a limit voltage. The biasing circuit may also include a control stage configured to generate first and second control signals with mutually complementary values, equal alternatively to a first value, in a first half-period of a clock signal, or to a second value, in a second half-period of the clock signal. The first and second values may be a function of the supply and limit voltages. The biasing circuit may also include a biasing stage configured to generate a biasing voltage as a function of the values of the first and second control signals. The first and second control signals may control transfer transistors for transferring the supply voltage to respective outputs, while the biasing voltage may be for controlling protection transistors to reduce overvoltages on the transfer transistors. | 11-01-2012 |
20130221938 | VOLTAGE REGULATOR FOR CONTACT-LESS ELECTRONIC DEVICES - A voltage regulator has an input terminal for receiving a supply voltage and an output terminal for providing a regulated voltage and a regulated current. Furthermore, the voltage regulator includes a regulator for generating the regulated voltage and the regulated current according to a regulation of the supply voltage. The regulator includes a plurality of regulation branches arranged between the input terminal and the output terminal, each one for providing an output voltage used for obtaining the regulated voltage and for providing an output current contributing to define the regulated current. The regulation branches are partitioned into a plurality of subsets each one including components adapted to operate within a corresponding maximum voltage different from the maximum voltage of the other subsets. In addition, the regulator includes a selector for selectively enabling the regulation branches according to an indicator of the supply voltage. | 08-29-2013 |

20100195872 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING OBJECTS IN AN IMAGE USING POSITIONAL INFORMATION - A computer-implemented method is provided for identifying objects in an image. The method includes: capturing a series of images of a scene using a camera; receiving a topographical map for the scene that defines distances between objects in the scene; determining distances between objects in the scene from a given image; approximating identities of objects in the given image by comparing the distances between objects as determined from the given image in relation to the distances between objects from the map. The identities of objects can be re-estimated using features of the objects extracted from the other images. | 08-05-2010 |

20110302533 | Operating Device for an Electric Domestic Appliance and Operating Method - An operating device for an electric domestic appliance has an operating panel with operating elements, wherein the operating elements are touch switches, which can be actuated by placing a finger on the operating panel or moving a finger over the operating panel. The operating device advantageously has a large touch screen. The operating panel has at least in the area of the operating elements a convexly curved surface contour, so that virtual rollers can be simulated by the display in the form of the touch screen and can be rotated by moving the finger over it. Selected functions are activated by touching them. | 12-08-2011 |
