Subsidiaries of Tessera Technologies Inc. will acquire certain assets of Israel-based Dblur Technologies Ltd., a developer of software lens technology for cell phone cameras and other imaging applications. Financial details were not disclosed.

Under the terms of the agreement, Tessera will purchase some of Dblur’s assets including intellectual property and specified customer agreements. In addition, Tessera will hire some of Dblur’s former employees.
