  • Patent number: 11904519
    Abstract: Present invention is related to an extrusion equipment for processing a fibre composite. The extrusion equipment comprises a decompression and a melt tank arranged and operated vertically along with the direction of gravity. The melt tank comprises a melt tank impregnation section and a melt tank control section with a melt tank cavity as a channel condition defined within. The channel has its inner diameter or passage gradually decreased from top to bottom. The extrusion equipment provided by the present invention is configured in the direction of gravity for processing the melted thermoplastic resin and the fibre vertically for avoiding fibre fracture or breakage and improving the quality of the final products. As the melted plastic is processed vertically along with the gravity, the melted plastic could transfer or pass through the channel quickly without resulting decomposition due to the high heat and the long retention time in the cavity.

  • Patent number: 11410594
    Abstract: A method of dynamic bias control of a source driver bases on data wing level for power-saving. In order to cover the operating conditions of various loads under normal operations, the output buffer circuit operation is biased. The method utilizes the display gray scale difference between a previous data line and an immediately subsequent data line to determine the bias current to be used for the output buffer. When the difference between the current data line display gray scale and the previous data line display gray scale is not large, the bias current of the output buffer can be reduced. When the difference between the current data line display gray scale and the previous data line display gray scale is large, the bias current of the output buffer is increased and the current of the output buffer is adjusted according to different load conditions to save power.

  • Patent number: 8237694
    Abstract: In a first display period of a display device, a first count value is recorded at the rising edge of the data enable signal for controlling the length of a horizontal line. Next, a second count value is recorded at the falling edge of the data enable signal for identifying the time when the data enable signal switches from a high level to a low level. When entering a porch period following the first display period, the counter is cleared when the count value reaches the first count value. In a second display period following the porch period, the counter is cleared at the rising edge of the data enable signal, and the first count value is used for controlling the length of the horizontal line.
