  • Publication number: 20140347297
    Abstract: The semiconductor device includes: a display panel (e.g. a liquid crystal display panel) which has a capacitor for holding an electric charge corresponding to image data in quantity in each pixel and displays image data of each frame made up of lines; and a display-drive circuit for activating the display panel. The display-drive circuit performs a time-division action in which a one-frame period includes display-drive periods in which the display panel is activated, and blank periods in which the activation of the display panel remains stopped, which are arranged alternately. The display-drive circuit drives, for display, lines of one frame which are almost evenly distributed to display-drive periods in groups of several lines.

  • Publication number: 20140333608
    Abstract: There is provided a display driver IC including an image memory which stores display data supplied from a host processor, a timing controller which reads the display data from the image memory and drives a connected display panel, and an internal clock oscillation circuit which supplies an internal clock to the timing controller. An oscillation frequency of the internal clock oscillation circuit is calibrated on the basis of an external clock supplied from an external device. An operation of the host processor which supplies the external clock can be suspended, thereby reducing power consumption of a display apparatus as a whole. Therefore, an expensive oscillation vibrator is not necessary, and thus it is possible to minimize an increase in a cost of the display apparatus.

  • Patent number: 8886461
    Abstract: A method for detecting inland barrier (16, 16?) crossings (24, 26, 30) using speed layers from community input probe traces in combination with a digital map. Inland barrier crossing specifications are detected and/or validated using information about the speed of probes that actually cross the barrier (16, 16?). A bridge (26) across the inland barrier (16) is inferred if the velocity average for barrier crossing probe traces is greater than an established threshold value. Conversely, a ferry (24) is inferred if the average velocity for barrier crossing probe traces is less than the established threshold value. When there is a prominent gap in the data for the barrier crossing probe traces, a tunnel (30) is inferred.

  • Patent number: 8869968
    Abstract: The method of control consists in altering the flow path by means of swing and/or slide shiftable movable elements, constituting a fragment of the opposite side walls of an angularly positioned channel, which after shifting stop the flow of rod-shaped articles with the possibility of restoring the flow after shifting the movable elements to previous position. The device is situated in the channel, the first side wall of which is provided with a first movable element, and a fragment of the opposite second side wall forms a second movable element, with the first movable element being mounted on a pivot together with a perpendicular plate, on which also the second movable element by means of an actuator is mounted. The second element has the shape of a cylinder sector. Below the movable elements, and above the horizontal conveyor, is situated a shutoff element.

  • Patent number: 8869969
    Abstract: The subject matter of the application is a method of feeding beads in the tobacco industry system, in a unit for transferring a stream of beads (2), from receiving pockets (18) to outfeeding pockets (21, 21?), where the beads are transferred along guiding grooves (5A, 5B, 6A, 6B, 6C) disposed on guiding plates (5, 5?, 6, 6?), comprising the steps in which: the beads are fed to a guiding chamber (22, 22?, 22?) formed at the intersection of the guiding groove (5A, 5B) of the first guiding plate (5, 5?) and the guiding groove (6A, 6B, 6C) of the second guiding plate (6, 6?); at least one guiding plate is rotated relative to the second guiding plate, which forces the movement of the guiding chamber (22, 22?, 22?) so that the distance of the guiding chamber (22, 22?, 22?) to the axis of rotation of the guiding plates changes; the beads are conveyed from the guiding chamber (22, 22?, 22?) to the outfeeding pocket (21, 21?). The subject matter of the application is also a device for the implementation of the method.

  • Publication number: 20140317420
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a secure memory storage system. In particular there is a data storage device having a receiver for receiving data, an encrypted persistent memory to store received data and a transmission control device physically independent of the data storage device. The apparatus is arranged such that when a connection between the transmission control device and the data storage device is established, transmission of data between the data storage device and a further device (e.g. a PC) is enabled. Wireless connection between the transmission control device and data storage device is not established, and transmission of data between the data storage device and the further device (e.g. PC) is non-enabled. The transmission control device therefore controls data transfer between the data storage device and the further device.
