  • Patent number: 9672155
    Abstract: A plurality of sensors provide respective output data rates, with a first sensor that has a highest output data rate, while one or more other sensors have output data rates that are submultiples of the aforesaid highest output data rate. The data signals coming from the sensors are stored in a memory, e.g., a FIFO memory, by storing the data signals of the first sensor at the aforesaid highest output data rate, accompanying storage of the data signals coming from said first sensor with storage of the data signals coming from the sensors as supplied by said other sensors at the aforesaid submultiple output data rates, so that the data signals are stored in the memory according to a repeated pattern that is common to the various sensors.

  • Publication number: 20170060467
    Abstract: A signal interface has a compression unit and a data memory. The compression unit is configured to input an input datum from signal data generated by at least one sensor and further configured to identify the presence or absence of at least one repetition condition in the input datum. If the presence of the at least one repetition condition of the input datum is identified, the compression unit encodes the input datum in a compressed way to generate a compressed datum and saves the compressed datum in the data memory. If the presence of the at least one repetition condition of the input datum is not identified, the compression unit saves the uncompressed input datum in the data memory.

  • Publication number: 20150006778
    Abstract: An integrated data concentrator, so-called “sensor hub”, for a multi-sensor MEMS system, implements: a first interface module, for interfacing, in a normal operating mode, with a microprocessor through a first communication bus; and a second interface module, for interfacing, in the normal operating mode, with a plurality of sensors through a second communication bus; the sensor hub further implements a pass-through operating mode, distinct from the normal operating mode, in which it sets the microprocessor in direct communication with the sensors, through the first communication bus and the second communication bus. In particular, the sensor hub implements the direct pass-through operating mode in a totally digital manner.

  • Patent number: 8543525
    Abstract: The present invention refers to the problem of the automatic detection of events in sport field, in particular Goal/NoGoal events by signalling to the mach management, which can autonomously take the final decision upon the event. The system is not invasive for the field structures, neither it requires to interrupt the game or to modify the rules thereof, but it only aims at detecting objectively the event occurrence and at providing support in the referees' decisions by means of specific signalling of the detected events.

  • Patent number: 8300935
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for detecting and classifying events during motion actions, in particular “offside” event in the football game. The system allows determining such event in a real-time and semi-automatic context, by taking into account the variability of the environmental conditions and of the dynamics of the events which can be traced back to the offside. The present invention proposes itself with a not-invasive technique, compatible with the usual course of the match.
