SENSOR DATA PROCESSING MODULE AND METHOD THEREOF

Fuente: Wipo "Sensorization"
The application relates to a sensor data processing module including a plurality of integrated circuit devices each configured to receive and process sensor data, in particular sensor data from a PET scanner, at least some of the integrated circuit devices each comprising: at least one data input for receiving measurement data from at least one sensor; at least one data input for receiving a plurality of sensor events from at least one other integrated circuit device, wherein each sensor event comprises at least a time information and an event information; and at least one data output for sending one or more sensor events; wherein the integrated circuit devices each comprise one or more FIFO buffers for temporarily storing one or more sensor events and the integrated circuit devices are each configured: to create one or more sensor events from the measurement data, wherein each sensor event comprises at least a time information and an event information; and to process the sensor events queued in the one or more FIFO buffers by sorting the sensor events located at the front of the queues at least based on the time information; and wherein at least two of the plurality of integrated circuit devices are connected such that the data output of one integrated circuit device is connected to the data input of at least one other integrated circuit device.
