Abstract: A data transmitter is disclosed. The data transmitter includes a digest generator configured in response to receiving a set of data from a data source to generate a digest from the set of data using a cryptographic primitive. The data transmitter further includes a packet generator configured to generate a series of one or more packets carrying the set of data for transmission, wherein each packet in the series includes a header, the set of data, a footer and the digest.

Abstract: A light detection and ranging system is presented that includes at least one light source for emitting a light pulse to the surroundings of the light detection and ranging system, at least one monitoring optical sensor for monitoring the emitting of the light pulse by the at least one light source, at least one receiving optical sensor for receiving a light signal from the surroundings of the light detection and ranging system, and at least one signal processing unit for processing the signal of the at least one receiving optical sensor which is characterized in that the at least one signal processing unit comprises a multiplexer at the input for multiplexing between the signal of the at least one receiving optical sensor and the signal of the at least one monitoring optical sensor.

Abstract: A light detection and ranging system is disclosed. The system includes a first light source for sending a light signal and a photo detector for receiving a light signal from the surroundings of the system. A signal processing unit receives and processes the light signal to detect objects in the surroundings of the system. A control unit controls, particularly synchronizing, the first light source, the photo detector and/or the signal processing unit. The system further includes a test unit for testing the photo detector and the signal processing unit. The test unit a second light source for sending a test light signal within the system to the photo detector.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement and a method performing data exchange between various integrated circuits, IC, (3,4,5,6,7) in an automotive control system wherein the data are exchanged by a bus and has the object to enable ASIL C/D system coverage and to tie various ICs (clocks, regulators, memory interfaces, sensor signal conditioners, power management ICs etc.) This is solved the data are exchanged by a bus being ASIL C/D compliant and forming a common protocol to exchange information among the integrated circuits (3,4,5,6,7). The method is solved by functions implemented within the bus as setting the frequency of operation; arbitrating roles of the integrated circuits as master or slave device; checking integrity of exchanged data; frame repetition; detecting bus stuck-at failure modes; filtering or denouncing failures and warnings from peripheral devices; detecting remote out of specification local clock; and monitoring and predicting system reliability and profiling maintenance events.
