Patent number: 9197903Abstract: A system and corresponding method determines a macroblock partition to transcode digital data from a first video standard to a second video standard with any spatial resolution. The system includes a processing module and an encoding module. The processing module processes digital data to determine a macroblock partition. The encoding module is coupled to the processing module for encoding the digital data based on the macroblock partition. The system is further coupled to a decoding module for receiving the digital data. The method determines the partition of a macroblock for transcoding digital data with any spatial resolution and without any motion estimation.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2008Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignees: STMICROELECTRONICS S.R.L., STMICROELECTRONICS INTERNATIONAL N.V.Inventors: Subarna Tripathi, Kaushik Saha, Emiliana Mario Picinelli

Patent number: 9167023Abstract: A system for power measurement in an electronic device includes a sensing unit, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a controller. The sensing unit senses voltage across a power source and modulates a carrier signal based on the sensed voltage. The ADC converts a combination of the modulated carrier signal and audio signals received by the electronic device to generate a digitized combined signal and provides the digitized combined signal to the controller. The controller separates digitized modulated carrier signal and digitized audio signals. The digitized modulated carrier signal is demodulated to generate an output signal that provides a measure of the power consumed by the electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2013Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: STMICROELECTRONICS INTERNATIONAL N.V.Inventors: Surinder Pal Singh, Kaushik Saha

Patent number: 9142322Abstract: An embodiment of a manager includes at least one input node configured to receive information regarding a region of an integrated circuit, and a determiner configured to determine, in response to the information, a likelihood that the region will cause an error. For example, the region may include a memory, and contents of the memory may be transferred to another, more reliable memory, if the likelihood that the memory will cause an error in the data that it stores equals or exceeds a likelihood threshold.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2013Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: STMicroelectronics International N.V.Inventors: Deepak Baranwal, Digvijay Pratap Singh, Kaushik Saha

Patent number: 8942502Abstract: Parallelization of decoding of a data stream encoded with a variable length code includes determining one or more markers, each of which indicates a position within the encoded data stream. The determined markers are included into the encoded data stream together with the encoded data. At the decoder side, the markers are parsed from the encoded data stream and based on the extracted markers. The encoded data is separated into partitions, which are decoded separately and in parallel.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2013Date of Patent: January 27, 2015Assignee: STMicroelectronics International N.V.Inventors: Surinder Pal Singh, Aneesh Bhasin, Kaushik Saha

Patent number: 8737144Abstract: An embodiment of a sense amplifier includes a sense circuit and a monitor circuit. The sense circuit is configured to convert a first signal that corresponds to data stored in a memory cell into a second signal that corresponds to the data, and the monitor circuit is configured to indicate a reliability of the second signal. The monitor circuit allows, for example, adjusting a parameter of a memory in which the memory cell is disposed to increase the read accuracy, and may also allow recognizing and correcting an error due to an invalid second signal.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2011Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: STMicroelectronics International N.V.Inventors: Navneet Gupta, Prashant Dubey, ShaileshKumar Pathak, Kaushik Saha, Ashish Kumar, R Sai Krishna

Patent number: 8711927Abstract: An embodiment of the present disclosure relates to system comprises an encoding device. Said encoding device comprises a compression unit, a quantizer, a bit estimator, a bit rate encoder and a variable length encoder. An embodiment also is a method of encoding. Said method estimates a number of bits to encode a macroblock after compressing the data stream. Then the estimated bit encoded by a bit rate encoder and further quantized by the quantizer to get the final encoded bit stream. The number of bits required to encode a macroblock is estimated after the quantization process and before the encoding process. The macroblock bit estimator estimates the number of bits required to encode a particular macroblock depending on the quantized AC coefficients of that macroblock and the quantized AC coefficients of the neighboring frames normalized at a macroblock level.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2009Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignees: STMicroelectronics International N.V., STMicroelectronics S.r.l.Inventors: Megha Agarwal, Sumit Johar, Kaushik Saha, Emiliano Mario Piccinelli

Publication number: 20140074979Abstract: A wireless sensor network including a plurality of Smart Sensors coupled to a wide area network such as the Internet via a Wireless Sensor Coordinator. Each wireless sensor network comprises a plurality of Smart Sensors, each operable to measure one or more physical quantities. Each wireless sensor communicates the measured data to a Wireless Sensor Coordinator which then stores the collected data in memory. The Wireless Sensor Coordinator further includes a web server operable to post a web site on a network that is accessible by a common web browser. Upon receiving a request for sensed data via the web site, the Wireless Sensor Coordinator retrieves the appropriate measured and stored data and converts it into HTML format pages which are then posted on the web site for review by the requestor.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2013Publication date: March 13, 2014Applicant: STMicoelectronics International N.V.Inventors: Surinder Pal SINGH, Kaushik SAHA
