Abstract: The invention relates to a system comprising a non-volatile memory device configured to contain executable code; and a logic device comprising an internal memory and a processor configured to execute the code contained in the non-volatile memory device, the internal memory being located in a first always-on power domain of the logic device, wherein the system is configured to check whether the internal memory contains a code digest Hc, obtain the executable code from the non-volatile memory device, compute a code digest Hc? of the executable code, and, if the code digest Hc and the code digest Hc? are identical, execute the executable code. The invention also relates to a corresponding method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and a corresponding method for communicating over N CAN buses comprising comprising N CAN listeners, wherein each of the CAN listeners is configured to be coupled to a respective CAN bus and to detect CAN activity on the CAN bus to which it is coupled; M CAN controllers, wherein 1?M<N; and a power controller, wherein each CAN listener is configured to generate a control signal in response to detecting CAN activity on the CAN bus to which it is coupled and send the control signal to the power controller which controls the activity state of at least one of the CAN controllers.

Abstract: A method of tracking a region in a video image having a plurality of video frames is disclosed. The method comprises: generating one or more candidate contours in a video frame; and, for each candidate contour, analyzing the candidate contour based on intensity values of picture-elements along the candidate contour, and analyzing an area at least partially enclosed by the candidate contour based on texture features in the area. The method further comprises selecting a winner contour from the candidate contour(s) based on the analyses, and associating the region with the winner contour.
