  • Patent number: 11967291
    Abstract: A display may have a pixel array such as a liquid crystal pixel array. The pixel array may be illuminated by a backlight unit that includes an array of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The backlight unit may determine the type of content in the image data. The backlight unit may decide to prioritize either mitigating halo or mitigating clipping based on the type of content. The determination of the type of content in the image data may be used to determine the brightness values for the LEDs in the LED array. If the content is determined to be a first type of content, at least one given LED in the LED array may have a different brightness value than if the content is determined to be a second, different type of content. Classifying content in the image data may be useful in optimizing visible artifacts such as visible halo and clipping.

  • Publication number: 20240081352
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a blending method of high-quality and dual-purpose flour for bread and noodles, belonging to the technical field of flour processing. The method includes: selecting flour of a high-quality and dual-purpose wheat variety for bread and noodles as a high-quality basic flour for blending; according to a large gradient experimental design, selecting a gradient range ratio with a sedimentation value ?46.0 mL and a dough development time ?9.6 min, followed by subdividing for small gradient experiments; selecting a ratio with flour sedimentation value and dough development time that reach an ideal value to blend a large amount of flour; and making bread and noodles for scoring, followed by determining a blending ratio if a scoring result reaches an ideal value.

  • Patent number: 6532222
    Abstract: Demodulator assignment logic is provided that confirms the presence and quality of a multipath before assigning a parallel demodulator to that multipath. Multipath presence and quality are confirmed when at least two power measurements of a multipath at least equal a selectable power threshold. Before permitting demodulated data from an assigned demodulator to be processed, demodulator assignment logic further reconfirms the presence and quality of a multipath via another more reliable power measurement that at least equals another selectable power threshold.

  • Patent number: 5557643
    Abstract: An AFC system and method of detecting and compensating frequency drift in the carrier frequency of a Gaussian filtered Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK) signal by demodulated frequency compensated samples of the received signal and calculating a frequency compensation angle based upon the demodulated frequency compensation samples. The compensation angle is fed back to the frequency compensator and error detector and used to calculate the error signal.
