    Abstract: A display panel, a display driving method and a display pixel driving circuit therefor are provided. In the display driving method, the light emitting signal includes multiple pulse signals, and the variation trend of the pulse-off durations of the pulse signals is consistent with the variation trend of the light emitting brightness of the light emitting element during the light emitting period, that is, the pulse-off durations decreases sequentially with the decrease of the light emitting brightness of the light emitting element, or sequentially increases with the increase of the light emitting brightness of the light emitting element. Therefore, the flicker problem in the display panel when emitting light can be solved, and improving the image display quality.

  • Patent number: 11720168
    Abstract: A method for a wearable computing device is presented. The wearable computing device includes one or more radio frequency (RF) antennas that are driven to expose a first body part of a user to an E-field. The first body part of the user located within a threshold distance of the RF antennas when the wearable computing device is worn by the user. Movement of the first body part of the user is determined based on changes in electrical conditions at the RF antennas over time. Movement of a second body part of the user is inferred based on the determined movement of the first body part, the second body part being located outside of the threshold distance of the RF antenna. The first and second body parts are coupled via interconnective tissues. An indication of the inferred movement of the second body part is output.

  • Patent number: 11717272
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate generally to methods for providing viewing access to an ultrasound image feed generated at an ultrasound imaging machine. A multi-use display device may form a first link-layer connection with the ultrasound image machine for transmitting commands that control imaging parameters of the ultrasound image feed. The multi-use display device may then: determine link-layer connection parameters that allow the ultrasound imaging machine to form a second link-layer connection with a receiving device (the receiving device having no link-layer connection with the ultrasound imaging machine), and provide the connection parameters to the receiving device. The ultrasound imaging machine forms a second link-layer connection with the receiving device, based the connection parameters. The second link-layer connection is then used for receiving, at the receiving device, the ultrasound image feed controlled by the multi-use display device.
