  • Publication number: 20220139303
    Abstract: A method comprises producing or receiving information regarding content to be displayed on an array of pixels as a function of time, wherein the information includes a specified light output for each pixel in the array as a function of time, determining an expected change in light output intensity for each of one or more of the pixels as a function of time, wherein the expected change in light output intensity for each of the one or more of the pixels is dependent, at least in part, on the specified light output for at least a portion of the pixels in the array, and modifying an output of each of the one or more of the pixels as a function of time to compensate for at least a portion of the expected change in the light output intensity.

  • Publication number: 20210143135
    Abstract: An electronic display comprises an array of pixels of light-emitting elements, wherein each pixel is configured to emit a first primary color having a first wavelength, a second primary color having a second wavelength, a third primary color having a third wavelength, and a first gamut-enhancing color having a fourth wavelength that is within a first specified wavelength variance from the first wavelength, wherein a color gamut that can be produced by the array of pixels is greater than a corresponding array of corresponding pixels of corresponding light-emitting elements that are configured to only emit the first primary color having the first wavelength, the second primary color having the second wavelength, and the third primary color having the third wavelength.

  • Patent number: 6209895
    Abstract: An axle suspension system for a wheeled vehicle. This suspension system includes a trailing arm beam extending longitudinally along each side of the vehicle with each trailing arm beam connected to a resilient pivotal bushing at the forward end thereof. Each resilient pivotal bushing is mounted on a hanger attached to the vehicle frame. An air spring is attached to the rearward end of each trailing arm beam and connects its trailing arm beam to the wheeled vehicle. Each trailing arm beam has a U-shaped transverse cross-section wherein a horizontally extending wall is oppositely located relative to vertically extending walls to define a vertical facing opening in the trailing arm beam. A vehicle axle is connected to the trailing arm beams. The vehicle axle is attached to an axle thrust mounting located on the trailing arm beams and spanning the vertical facing openings thereof near the rearwardly located ends of the trailing arm beams.

  • Patent number: 5088758
    Abstract: A heavy duty suspension system for multiple axle over-the-road semi trailers. A rigid frame for the suspension includes beams on opposite sides which are connected with the trailer body. Hangers receive the front ends of spring beams to which the axles are connected. Torque arms connect the hangers with the axles. Behind the axles, air cushions are interposed between the spring beams and frame to provide an air ride. A transverse track rod is provided behind each axle to accept laterally applied loads. Each track rod is pivoted at one end to the back of one spring beam and at the other end to a track rod hanger suspended from the frame.
