  • Patent number: 11900715
    Abstract: The present invention relates biometric authentication using an optical biometric arrangement comprising an image sensor comprising a photodetector pixel array configured to capture an image of an object, the image sensor being arranged under a controllable light source comprising light source units, the method comprising: providing a light pattern comprising portions of different light intensity for illuminating the object; acquiring an image of the object, the image comprising image portions corresponding to the portions of different light intensity of the light pattern illuminating the object, at least one image portion being captured by pixels in he photodetector pixel array arranged directly under a light source unit being active during image acquisition, and at least one image portion being captured by pixels in the photodetector pixel array arranged under an at least partly in-active illumination area of the controllable light source during image acquisition, performing biometric authentication at leas

  • Patent number: 9441559
    Abstract: A method is provided for controlling a pre-spin operation of a compressor of an internal combustion engine provided with a turbocharger. The presence of a turbocharger imposes additional requirements on the method. The wear of a compressor clutch is proportional to the transferred energy when the clutch is engaged. In order to reduce the wear of the compressor clutch, or increase the maximum engine speed where it is allowed to engage the compressor, a compressor pre-spin operation is used to reduce the transferred energy when the clutch is engaged. The pre-spin is achieved by controlling the air mass flow over the compressor by controlling a bypass throttle angle of a bypass throttle. The bypass throttle is provided in a parallel conduit to the compressor, bypassing the compressor. Since the air mass flow over the compressor affects the air mass flow to the turbocharger, the method takes the turbocharger into consideration.
