  • Patent number: 11798460
    Abstract: An electronic device may have a display. The display may have light-emitting diode pixels or other pixels. Due to aging-induced degradation of the pixels, the output intensity and color of the pixels may vary over the lifetime of the display. Control circuitry in the device may use an ambient light sensor to measure ambient light and stray display light. The display light measurements may be used in monitoring aging effects so that the control circuitry can compensate for aging-induced pixel degradation. Display light measurements may be made over a sequence of image frames. The image frames in the sequence of frames may include white and black frames or frames of different colors interleaved with black frames. Different frame intensities may be used during measurements of stray display light to gather gamma curves for the display.

  • Patent number: 8997861
    Abstract: A method for sampling fluid from a subsurface formation includes retrieving fluids from the formation using a plurality of pumps. The method also includes the steps of controlling a flow of the retrieved fluids using at least a first valve and a second valve and estimating an operating parameter of at least one pump of the plurality of pumps. The method further includes the step of controlling the first valve and the second valve using the estimated operating parameter to initiate a fluid sampling event.
