  • Publication number: 20230298834
    Abstract: An electronic device has a keyboard with an internal membrane. The membrane has a set of strain gauges configured to respond to a key press, such as when a collapsible dome collapses into contact with the membrane. The strain gauges are connected in a half Wheatstone bridge configuration and are positioned on the membrane in order to limit effects of temperature and subtle flexure of the membrane. The strain gauges are also configured to magnify detection of a resistance differential when a keycap is pressed with sufficient force.

  • Publication number: 20230208299
    Abstract: A power converter having a smooth transition control mechanism is provided. An oscillator circuit outputs a clock signal. A control circuit receives the clock signal from the oscillator circuit and outputs a control signal based on the clock signal. A driver circuit outputs a high-side conduction signal and a low-side conduction signal according to the control signal. A high-side switch is turned on or off according to the high-side conduction signal from the driver circuit. A low-side switch is turned on or off according to the low-side conduction signal from the driver circuit. The oscillator circuit receives the high-side conduction signal from the driver circuit. The oscillator circuit, according to the high-side conduction signal, determines whether or not the clock signal outputted to the control circuit needs to be adjusted.

  • Publication number: 20230153977
    Abstract: An array checker (AC) is described. The array checker may include software configured to implement a method. By implementing the method, the array checker may detect a location of a defect and then compensate for a shift in the defect. In particular, the method may include generating one or more reference lines in a panel. The reference lines may include a location which is known prior to generating an image of the panel. The array checker may then capture an image of the panel. The image may be captured by voltage imaging. The image may include the defect and the one or more reference lines. The method may then include calculating an offset of the reference line from the known location. The offset may then be applied to the defect location for compensating the shift in the defect.
