  • Publication number: 20240161670
    Abstract: Dynamic refresh rate (DRR) switching is used to dynamically update a refresh rate of content presented on an interface. When a first application and a second application are presented on a user interface at a first refresh rate; a request may be received to temporarily boost the first refresh rate to a second, higher, refresh rate. DRR switching is initiated as the first refresh rate is temporarily boosted to a second refresh rate. Applications that are opted in to the second refresh rate receive signals to refresh content at the second refresh rate, while applications that are not opted in to the second refresh rate receive signals to refresh content at a virtualized refresh rate that matches the first refresh rate. Thus, the first application refreshes content at the first refresh rate and the second application refreshes content at the second, higher refresh rate, providing a smooth user experience without unnecessarily utilizing power consumption.

  • Patent number: 4871631
    Abstract: A flexographic printing relief-plate, which has a relief layer (P), an interlayer (Z) and a base layer (U), is provided with a double-sided adhesive sheet (W). The double-sided adhesive sheet (W) transmits actinic light and is firmly bonded to the base layer (U) on one side. On the opposing side, the adhesive sheet (W) has an adhesive force of from 1 to 6 N/25 mm. This force is less than the adhesive force on the side bonded to the base layer (U). The adhesive sheet (W) permits the flexographic relief printing plate to be repeatedly adhered to and removed from the printing cylinder without damaging the plate.
