  • Publication number: 20160131744
    Abstract: A method for processing radar signals, wherein said radar signals comprise digitized data received by at least one radar antenna, the method comprising (i) determining FFT results based on the digitized data received; and (ii) storing a first group of the FFT results, wherein the first group of FFT results comprises at least two portions, wherein a first portion of FFT results is stored with a first accuracy and a second portion of FFT results is stored with a second accuracy.

  • Publication number: 20150355319
    Abstract: A device is suggested for processing input data received by several antennas, the device including a processing unit including a buffer and at least one multiplier, wherein the processing unit is configured to calculate a second stage FFT result based on input data received by a first antenna, multiply the second stage FFT result for the first antenna with a first compensation value, and store the result in the buffer. The processing unit is further configured to calculate a second stage FFT result based on input data received by a second antenna, multiply the second stage FFT for the second antenna with a second compensation value, and add the result to the value stored in the buffer.

  • Patent number: 9118351
    Abstract: A system and method for signature-based redundancy comparison provides for receiving, by a master part, an input signal and generating, by the master part, a binary output signal, generating a delayed input signal based on the input signal, generating a first output signature based on the binary output signal, and generating a delayed first output signature based on the first output signature. The system and method further comprise generating a delayed binary output signal based on the delayed input signal, generating, by a checker part, a delayed second output signature based on the delayed binary output signal, comparing the delayed first output signature with the delayed second output signature, and generating an error signal, where the state of the error signal is based upon the comparison.

  • Publication number: 20080077759
    Abstract: A memory control apparatus in which, in the case of a sequence of requests for a sequence of accesses from an access unit to result in execution of an operation in the memory, the access unit is granted right to use the memory control apparatus to carry out the sequence of accesses and every other access unit is denied right to use the memory control apparatus to access the memory until all of the accesses in the sequence of accesses have been carried out.

  • Publication number: 20070158024
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for removing dies attached to a support element are described. The support element has a first surface to which the dies are attached and a second surface that opposes the first surface. In a first example, a first vacuum is applied to the second surface outside an area defined on the second surface. At least one force element applies a force to the second surface inside the area, thereby moving a plurality of dies with respect to other dies. In a second example, heat is applied to an adhesive between the first surface and the plurality of dies to at least partially deactivate the adhesive. A second vacuum is applied to the plurality of dies to remove the plurality of dies from the first surface.

  • Publication number: 20070131016
    Abstract: Dies that are attached to a die plate can be transferred to a substrate. An actuator can be used to cause a die to be released from the die plate and to come into contact with the substrate. For example, the die may cover a corresponding hole in the die plate. The actuator can move a pin into the hole in the die plate, thereby pushing the die from the die plate. The actuator may be actuated by an electromagnetic stimulus. For instance, a solenoid having windings around a tubular core may provide the electromagnetic stimulus to the actuator. Current may be provided to the windings of the solenoid to generate the electromagnetic stimulus that actuates the actuator. The actuator may be provided in the tubular core of the solenoid.

  • Publication number: 20070107186
    Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus for transferring dies to respective substrates is described. Conventional techniques include vision-based systems that pick and place dies one at a time onto substrates. The present invention can transfer multiple dies simultaneously or consecutively. Dies are loaded in a channel of a die application device. The dies are moved through the channel using any of a variety of means, such as gravity, air, vibration, a brush, a spring, etc. The die application device dispenses the dies onto respective substrates. In an aspect, the die application device independently dispenses each of the dies. In another aspect, the die application device dispenses multiple dies at a time.
