Abstract: An object detection apparatus includes a boundary box decision circuit and a processing circuit. The boundary box decision circuit receives lens configuration information of a lens, and refers to the lens configuration information to determine a bounding box distribution of bounding boxes that are assigned to different detection distances with respect to the lens for detection of a target object. The processing circuit receives a captured image that is derived from an output of an image capture device using the lens, and performs object detection upon the captured image according to the bounding box distribution of the bounding boxes.

Abstract: A ring oscillator has an odd number of NOR-gates greater than or equal to three, each with first and second input terminals, a voltage supply terminal, and an output terminal. The first input terminals of all the NOR-gates are interconnected, and each of the NOR-gates has its output terminal connected to the second input terminal of an immediately adjacent one of the NOR-gates. During a stress mode, a voltage supply and control block applies a stress enable signal to the interconnected first input terminals, and an increased supply voltage to the voltage supply terminals. During a measurement mode, this block grounds the interconnected first input terminals, and applies a normal supply voltage to the voltage supply terminals.
