Abstract: A programmable general purpose digital image processing circuit incorporates pipeline image processing architecture including one or more pipeline processing chains for making image processing computations, each chain comprising a serial connection of a convolution (CONVOL) unit, logic (LU) unit, morphological (MORPH) unit and look-up table (LUT) unit, which enables the greatest number of processing operations to be performed within the shortest possible overhead time.

Abstract: A programmable general purpose digital image processing circuit 30 incorporates pipeline image processing architecture including one or more pipeline processing chains 379 for making image processing computations, each chain comprising a serial connection of a convolution (CONVOL) unit 34, logic (LU) unit 35, morphological (MORPH) unit 36 and look-up table (LUT) unit 37, which enables the greatest number of processing operations to be performed within the shortest possible overhead time.

Abstract: A connector element (1) comprises a dielectric sleeve (12) that axially accommodates a conductor (10), which may be female, and peripherally an outer conductor (16) including a rigid zone (160) followed by a nose (170), the solid beginning of which rests on a bearing surface (121) of the dielectric sleeve, while the subsequent slit portion of it terminates at an outer edge (180) provided with two chamfers connected by a flat side (183). This flat side assures electrical continuity, while the remainder of the nose (170) enables guidance and elastic retention in a homologous hole of the other connector, and the support surface (165) determines the coupling limit of the same connectors.
