Abstract: A method and a display driver apparatus for detecting panel defect on an electronic paper display (EPD) are provided. A sense voltage from the voltage for common (VCOM) electrode of the EPD is obtained and compared with an upper reference voltage and a lower reference voltage. As the sense voltage is proportional to a total capacitance of the plural display electrode capacitors on the EPD, a defective panel with capacitance abnormality or opened circuits can be identified.

Abstract: A method and a display driver apparatus for detecting panel defect on a non-volatile type display panel are disclosed. The present invention obtains a sense voltage from the VCOM electrode or the source lines of the display panel, comparing the sense voltage with an upper reference voltage and a lower reference voltage, and determining a condition of the display panel. As the sense voltage is proportional to a total capacitance of the plural display electrode capacitors on the display panel, a defective panel with abnormal capacitance can be identified.

The switching fabric may include the following switching elements having a size of at least 3N×3N: a first switching element, a second switching element, a third switching element, and a fourth switching element. The first switching element may be directly connected to the second switching element and the third switching element, and may be indirectly connected to the fourth switching element. The second switching element may be directly connected to the fourth switching element, and may be indirectly connected to the third switching element. The third switching element may be directly connected to the fourth switching element.

The first chassis may house the switch interface board and the first group of packet processing components. The switch interface board may include a second serializer/deserializer to communicate with a second switch interface board of the first chassis via a second port. The second switch interface board may be connected to a second group of packet processing components of the first chassis. The second group of packet processing components may be different from the first group of packet processing components. The switch interface board may include a third port to communicate with a third switch interface board of a second chassis or a switching device of a cross-connect chassis.

Abstract: A method of detecting a mental state includes receiving, in a processor, bio-signals of a subject from one or more bio-signal detectors, and determining in the processor whether the bio-signals represent the presence of a particular mental state in the subject. A method of using the detected mental state includes receiving, in a processor, a signal representing whether a mental state is present in the subject. The mental state can be a non-deliberative mental state, such as an emotion, preference or sensation. A processor can configured perform the methods, and a computer program product, tangibly stored on machine readable medium can have instructions operable to cause a processor to perform the methods.

Abstract: A heat transfer device includes a vapor chamber that houses a phase change material such as water. The heat transfer device may be selectively formed from a combination of polymeric and non-polymeric materials. In one embodiment, the vapor chamber is formed from a polymer layer surrounding a sealing layer formed from non-polymeric material. The heat transfer device may further include one or more fin members operable to diffuse heat from the vapor chamber to the ambient/outside environment. The fins may be solid structures, or may each define a fin chamber in communication with the vapor chamber. In one embodiment, the fin members are formed from non-polymeric material.
