  • Patent number: 7162200
    Abstract: An antenna calibration system consists mainly of a signal source, an antenna, a first radio frequency mixer, a first local oscillator, an power detecting device, a personal computer, and a servo amplifier. The signal source emits a signal, and the antenna receives the signal. The signal and the first local oscillator, which emits a signal, are emitted into the first radio frequency mixer. Then the first radio frequency mixer emits a signal into the energy detecting device which calculates the signal power, and transmits the power into the personal computer. The personal computer calculates the powers, and then transmits an angle control signal into the servo amplifier. The servo amplifier amplifies the signal, and then drives the antenna pedestal to turn until the antenna is aimed at the signal source.

  • Patent number: 7151513
    Abstract: A driving method is used for driving the voltage-driven circuit of an organic light emitting diode display device. Within a frame period, data voltage is set to a negative data voltage for a pre-defined interval within a frame period. When the scanning voltage is set to a high voltage level, the negative data voltage is applied to the gate terminal of a driving thin film transistor. The gate remains at the negative gate voltage for a maintenance period and the driving thin film transistor has a constant threshold voltage. Hence, this invention provides a mechanism for maintaining a constant luminance from the organic light emitting diode despite an extended use, thus effectively increasing the working life of the display device.
