TI Leadership University Program Funds Research on New Single-Pixel Camera
Using new mathematics and a silicon chip covered with hundreds of thousands of mirrors, each the size of a bacterium, engineers at Rice University have come up with a very efficient design. Unlike a one-megapixel camera that captures a million points of light for every frame, Rice’s camera creates an image by capturing just one pixel several thousand times in rapid succession.

University of Seville, Spain
TI’s University Program Has Enabled the Seville School of Engineering to Offer Advanced DSP Classes and Collaborate with Spain’s Private Sector

Spain’s Seville School of Engineering
recently established a real-time digital signal processing laboratory. The lab is equipped with TMS320C6711 DSP Starter Kits (DSKs) provided by the TI DSP University Program and used for undergraduate teaching in the Telecommunication Engineering School. Students learn to program the DSK implementing basic digital signal processing operations like digital filters, FIR or IIR filters. About 300 students per academic year use this lab through a 14-week DSP theory course. The course teaches DSP theory to practicing engineers by focusing on modern real-time applications. Students gain a solid foundation in DSP theory as well as hands-on application examples, laboratory exercises and problems that use TI’s latest DSPs.

The TI support has allowed Prof. Barrero and Prof. Toral, in cooperation with Prof. Ruiz from the Polytechnic of Madrid, to develop a Spanish book that explores TMS320C6000™ DSP applications and offers practical online tools such as remote lab access and a hypermedia CD-ROM included within the book.

The Seville School of Engineering also collaborates extensively with Spanish companies. This collaboration and additional private consulting work have helped expand DSP knowledge to the private sector over the years. As a result, the Seville School of Engineering has been involved in R&D projects with important Spanish firms like ACISA, MADE and MACPUARSA, companies that have developed such products as novel artificial vision systems, modern wind generation systems and practical elevation solutions.
