  • Patent number: 10605850
    Abstract: Quality control testing for a batch of electronic modules. A series of tests are performed on manufactured electronic modules, including tests sensitive to the failure rate of previously tested modules. Specifically, a first test comprised of two phases is performed on the module batch. Further screening is then performed responsive to detection of a wire sweep failure in a subset of failed modules from the first test phase. The further screening is on modules that passed the first test phase and excludes modules that failed the first test phase.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20070195196
    Abstract: A video display device comprising a display to display a primary image, originating from a first input signal, and a picture-in-picture (PIP) overlaying the primary image and originating from a second input signal. The display characteristics of the PIP are changed in response to information, preferably a file extension, relating to the type of the first input signal in order to obscure as little as possible of the important parts of the primary image. In case the primary image contains much visual information the PIP is chosen small, positioned in the periphery of the display and/or transparent. In case the primary image contains little visual information the PIP is chosen large, centered and/or non-transparent. Useful for Integrated Digital TV cum Broadband TV (IDTV-BBTV) devices, where the primary image is a broadband image and the PIP is a TV image.

  • Publication number: 20070085843
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multimode display device (101) comprising a display area, where said display device is, in a first mode, adapted for displaying displayfocused applications on the display area, where said display device is, in a second mode, adapted for displaying audio-specific information on the display area describing audio being played back and where the display device is, in a third mode, adapted for simultaneously displaying independent display-focused applications and audio-specific information on the display area, the device comprises: receiving means (307) adapted for receiving audio data comprising said audio-specific information; processing means (309) adapted for displaying said audio-specific information on said display area. Thereby the user can choose to view the audio-specific information on the display device, while listening to the audio.

  • Publication number: 20060244625
    Abstract: Remotely controlling a device still has several inconveniences associated with it, like the plurality of dedicated controllers, the hassle of learning or programming a remote controller, a preprogrammed memory bank which is outdated, the distribution and sharing of programs, or separate efforts to design the receiver of the device and the transmitter of the controller. To solve these inconveniences, the device is equipped with transmitting means for transmission of its properties that explicitly define how the device can be remotely controlled. The remote controller is equipped with receiving means for the properties and subsequently uses the properties for remotely controlling the device, by generating and transmitting signals in accordance with the properties.

  • Publication number: 20050146954
    Abstract: The product has a power supply (P2) and a processor (P). The processor (P) has an input (PDD) for receiving a power-down signal indicating a status of the power supply (P2) and another input (Q) connected to another supply. The product also has a non-volatile memory (M) for storing data supplied by the processor (P). The processor (P) has an algorithm to detect a power-down status of the power supply (P2) by repeatedly checking the power-down signal and, upon detection that the power-down signal has a value (S0) corresponding to the power-down status, to complete an ongoing writing operation and stop the storage of data. The method prevents incorrect storage of data in a non-volatile memory by using the mentioned algorithm.
