Title: Image sensor device with external addressing and readout circuitry located along same edge of the sensor device
Inventor: GUERRINI NICOLA
IPC: H01L27/146
Filed: 2012-07-18
Abstract: An imaging sensor device comprises a pixel sensor array made up of several stitching blocks, 201, 202, 203, each comprising pixel sensors, 220, disposed in at least one row group and first and second groups of addressing lines, 241, 242. The arrangement of pixel sensors and addressing lines in each stitching block is the same. Row addressing circuitry (Figure 2, 130) is disposed along an external edge of the array parallel to the rows of pixel sensors and coupled to the pixel sensors using the first group of addressing lines (Figure 2, 135) for performing row addressing actions. Group addressing circuitry is disposed along the same edge of the array and coupled to the pixel sensors using at least some of the second group of addressing lines for performing a group addressing action. Each stitching block combines a row addressing action with a group addressing action to select only one row of one row group of one stitching block simultaneously. The invention allows external addressing and readout circuitry to be located along the same edge of the sensor block thus allowing gapless stitching of blocks in a composite sensor array.

Title: Transmitter for fibre optic transmission in which a single input signal is transmitted using two LEDs on respective fibre cores
Inventor: BARNETT DANIELLE
IPC: H04B10/25
Filed: 2013-08-01
Abstract: This application is concerned with transmitting an audio signal over an optical fiber. In order to increase the dynamic range, a first light emitting diode (LED), LED1, transmits a signal over a first fibre core during a positive phase of an input audio signal and a second LED, LED2, transmits a signal over a second fibre core during a negative phase of the input signal. This appears to be referred to as a push-pull configuration in the prior art. This arrangement requires feedback from the first and second light sources (e.g. from the first node between R12 and R13) to a first input of a first amplifier, U1. The first amplifier receives as a second input the input audio signal and the output of the first amplifier is connected to inputs of a second amplifier, U2, and a third amplifier, U3. The first LED is driven by the second amplifier, U2, and the second LED is driven by the third amplifier, U3. A bias controller, U6/Î¼P/U4/U5 receives as an input a bias level measured at (a point referred to as the second node which is) the output of one of the LEDs. The bias controller outputs a signal to the inputs of the second and third amplifiers, which are preferably inverting amplifiers. The first and second LEDs may be connected in series with the two main electrodes of each of the first and second transistors, Q1, Q2, with the second and third amplifiers being connected to respective control electrodes of the transistors.
