  • Publication number: 20190159316
    Abstract: A method of color error correction for a segmented LED array is disclosed. The method includes calculating a target luminance for LED segments in a segmented LED array based on an initial luminance pattern, determining a luminance ratio based on the target luminance, the luminance ratio defined as a ratio of a primary luminance value of the primary LED segment to a secondary luminance value of the at least one adjacent LED segment, and comparing the luminance ratio to a predefined threshold ratio. If the luminance ratio is greater than or equal to the predefined ratio, then the secondary luminance value of the at least one adjacent LED segment is maintained. If the luminance ratio is less than the predefined ratio, then the secondary luminance value of the at least one adjacent LED segment is increased.

  • Publication number: 20190109268
    Abstract: A light-emitting device is disclosed, including: a substrate; a light-emitting diode (LED) formed on a first surface of the substrate, the LED being arranged to emit primary light; a fence disposed on a second surface of the substrate, the fence including a plurality of walls arranged to define a cell; a light-converting structure disposed in the cell, the light-converting structure being arranged to convert at least a portion of the primary light to secondary light having a wavelength that is different from the wavelength of the primary light; and a reflective element formed on one or more outer surfaces of the walls of the fence, such that the reflective element and the light-converting structure are disposed on opposite sides of the walls of the fence.

  • Patent number: 10229606
    Abstract: Avionics systems, controllers, and aircraft are provided. An avionics system includes a display unit and a controller, and an aircraft includes the avionics system. The display unit is configured to present an image. The controller is communicatively coupled with the display unit and is configured to control the display unit to present the image in a takeoff mode and in a flight mode of the controller. The controller is further configured to receive signals indicating an aircraft attitude, a target attitude, and an aircraft flight path, to generate a marker in the image in the takeoff mode based on an attitude difference between the aircraft attitude and the target attitude, to generate the marker in the image in the flight mode based on the aircraft flight path, and to generate a signal that causes the display unit to present the image.

  • Publication number: 20170070890
    Abstract: A method for verifying the integrity of data in a message by a data processing device, the message comprising a plurality of packets, the method comprising: receiving, at the device from a first resource, a manifest associated with the message, the manifest comprising a plurality of group check values for the plurality of packets; receiving, at the device, from the first or a different resource, the message; generating a first progression of rolling hashes for the plurality of packets; deriving group check values from the first progression of rolling hashes for groups of the plurality of packets along one or more paths; verifying the integrity of the data in the message based on or in response to a determination that the derived group check values correspond to the plurality of group check values in the manifest.

  • Patent number: 9040332
    Abstract: A submount for a light emitting stack includes a substrate and a metallization layer having circuit traces and a planar dielectric layer that fills regions between the circuit traces. The planar dielectric layer serves to minimize the amount of light lost/absorbed by the substrate and preferably reflects the internally reflected light back toward the desired light output element. To facilitate efficient manufacture, a dielectric paste is applied over the metallized layer, then planed to expose at least portions of the metal conductors for the subsequent coupling to the light emitting stack. Pedestal elements are preferably provided at select locations on the circuit traces to facilitate this coupling while allowing the remainder of the circuit traces to be covered with the dielectric layer.
