Abstract: Various aspects are discussed, for example, a method is described for authentication of devices in a wireless network involving NFC (Near Field Communication), wherein a device periodically switches its mode from a read mode, in which it is able to receive authentication data from one or more other devices, to a write mode, in which it sends out authentication data to the one or more other devices, according to a random time slot scheme. The device authenticates itself after having received authentication data from another device during the read mode, and the device switches permanently its mode to the write mode after being authenticated.

Abstract: A method for compression and/or decompression of bio-medical images such as DNA sequencing images is provided. The method comprises regeneration of a complete image using multiple distribution functions generated on the fly. The compression ratio achieved is in the order of 10 to 20 times, and is near lossless with respect to the clinically relevant information; which makes it well suited for these DNA sequencing images.

Abstract: A system (1) for computing a disease risk score of a patient based on a recommendation of treatment or lifestyle changes is disclosed. The system comprises an input device (11) for receiving risk parameter values for computing the disease risk score according to a risk score algorithm, and for receiving the recommendation of treatment or lifestyle changes, an interpreter (21) for computing at least one risk parameter value for computing the disease risk score, on the basis of the recommended treatment or lifestyle changes, a risk calculator (31) for calculating the disease risk score on the basis of the received risk parameter values and the computed risk parameter value, and an output device (41) for communicating the calculated disease risk score. Thanks to the interpreter (21), the recommended treatment or lifestyle change is “translated” into a value of a risk parameter for computing the disease risk score, there by allowing calculating the risk score resulting from the treatment or lifestyle change.

Abstract: A method and device for video stitching is presented. The invention determines one or more motion vectors indicative of changes in two consecutive images of a (video) sequence of images. It further determines a spatial correlation function by examining two images from two different videos obtained from adjacently placed cameras having an overlapping field of view and that are to be combined. The invention achieves a faster stitching of images by applying the correlation function for combining subsequent set/s of images, subject to a match value being in a predetermined range. The match-value is a value indicative of a change in the correlation function for the subsequent set of images that are to be combined. Said match value is determined according to sets of coordinate values which are indicative of an overlapping portion in the subsequent set of images that are to be combined and the correlation function. The sets of coordinate values are determined according to the motion vectors.

Abstract: A multiprocessor system-on-chip 102 with dynamic adaptive power management for execution of data-dependent applications comprises strategically placed performance counters to collect run-time performance requirements of tasks. A power manager 130 issues DVS 132, DFS 134, time-out 136, and other controls to the various system resources being monitored. As the tasks execute during run-time, the quality of the match between the task and the resource it was scheduled to is analyzed. More accurate power controls and schedules are then made available and stored in a performance requirements table. The power-management is therefore adaptive and dynamic. During a static analysis phase, applications and tasks that can be pre-characterized for their performance requirements are profiled and pre-loaded as initial starting points for correction during run-time.
