  • Patent number: 11092618
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system that includes a sensor and a signal conditioner coupled to the sensor. The signal conditioner includes signal processing circuitry coupled to the sensor and offset cancellation circuitry. The offset cancellation circuitry includes a sign detector configured to output a high signal or a low signal based on a sign of an output signal from the signal processing circuitry, an integrator coupled to the sign detector, and a divider coupled to the integrator and to an input of the signal processing circuitry.

  • Patent number: 9167378
    Abstract: A method is for accessing multimedia contents associated with a geographical area including a plurality of items, the multimedia content being stored on a multimedia content provider having information of one or more of the items. The method provides an IC Card application for enabling a mobile device to detect a geographical area of interest, connect to the multimedia content provider and select at least one multimedia content of the detected geographical area of interest, download the selected multimedia content into a memory of the IC Card, provide an identification code of an item located into the detected geographical area of interest, and access a portion of the multimedia content which stores information of the identified item.

  • Patent number: 7804819
    Abstract: A method for implementing Voice over IP through an electronic device including the phase of sampling a voice communication in a corresponding sampled communication; encoding the sampled communication into corresponding encoded data; decoding the corresponding encoded data into decoded data; and connecting the electronic device to a packed switched network for transmitting the corresponding encoded data. The method may include a phase for storing an encoder and a decoder inside a portable memory unit of the electronic device for executing the phase of encoding and decoding the sampled communication. The phase of storing the encoder and a decoder may be executed on a IC Card intended to be inserted in the electronic device.
