Patent number: 8339155Abstract: A system and method for detecting soft-failures in integrated circuits is provided. A circuit includes a combinatorial logic block having a first signal input and a second signal input, and a latch coupled to an output of the combinatorial logic block. The combinatorial logic block produces a pulse when only one of either a first signal provided by the first signal input or a second signal provided by the second signal input is a logical high value, and the latch captures the pulse if the pulse has a pulse width greater than a second threshold. The pulse has a pulse width that is based on a timing difference between a first signal transition on the first signal and a second signal transition on the second signal, the combinatorial logic block produces the pulse if the timing difference is greater than a first threshold, and the combinatorial logic block operates with balanced inputs.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2010Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Nan-Hsin Tseng, Chin-Chou Liu, Wei-Pin Changchien, Kin Lam Tong

Patent number: 5966678Abstract: A computer software program for replacing drop-out pixels and erroneous re values in the range channel of a laser detection and ranging system with a median pixel value in a moving square window centered about a pixel being processed whenever a co-registered intensity pixel value in the intensity channel falls below an intensity threshold. During the processing of each range pixel of the target, the computer software program will not alter the range value of the pixel if its corresponding intensity pixel has an intensity value above the intensity threshold. When the intensity value of the corresponding intensity pixel is below the threshold, the intensity guided filter replaces the range value with the median value of all the "good" pixels within a moving window the size of a kernel having X and Y dimensions. This results in the intensity guided filter smoothing out noisy pixels in the range channel of while retaining edge pixel values for the image.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 1998Date of Patent: October 12, 1999Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventor: Chi-Kin Lam
