  • Patent number: 11954902
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating a final classification output for an image of eye tissue. The image is provided as input to each of one or more segmentation neural networks to obtain one or more segmentation maps of the eye tissue in the image. A respective classification input is generated from each of the segmentation maps. For each of the segmentation maps, the classification input for the segmentation map is provided as input to each of one or more classification neural networks to obtain, for each segmentation map, a respective classification output from each classification neural network. A final classification output for the image is generated from the respective classification outputs for each of the segmentation maps.

  • Patent number: 7225098
    Abstract: The invention concerns a monitoring device (18) integrated to a microprocessor chip (12) executing a series of instructions comprising: device (26) for producing simultaneously several types of monitoring messages of the microprocessor, a buffer (28) divided into several blocks (A, B, C, D, E) each of which is designed to store only messages of one of the types capable of being produced simultaneously, the size of each block depending on the maximum frequency at which the messages can be stored, and device (26) for, each time one or more messages are simultaneously stored in the blocks (A, B, C, D, E) of the buffer (28), storing in a predetermined block (F) of the buffer a coded value representing said block(s) of the buffer.

  • Publication number: 20060155971
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the transmission of digital messages by a monitoring circuit (18) which is integrated into a microprocessor (12), said method being performed during the execution of a series of instructions by the microprocessor. Moreover, at least one of said digital messages represents the detection of a jump in the execution of the series of instructions from a source instruction to a destination instruction. The inventive method consists in determining whether or not the jump is associated with a jump instruction from the series of instructions for which the address of the jump destination instruction is explicitly indicated in the instruction. If the answer is in the affirmative, a first value is allocated to a first set of bits or, if the answer is in the negative, a second value is allocated to the first set of bits.

  • Patent number: 5729487
    Abstract: The component essentially includes three subtracter operators (ST1-ST3) connected between two multiplexers (MUX1, MUX2), associated with a shifter (DEC) for shifting the dividend and a concatenator means (MCT) for delivering the successive partial dividends from the contents of an output flip-flop (B3) and from the successive shifted words (S). The final-result word is stored in a shift register (RG). The component may be applied to image processing.
