  • Patent number: 11158259
    Abstract: An apparatus receives current image frame data and data relating to at least one previous image frame for an electronic display. One or more parameters related to hysteresis of transistors in the electronic display are sensed. A correlation device, such as a look-up table, receives the sensed parameter or parameters and the data relating to one or more image frames, and uses this information, at least in part, to output an appropriate compensation signal for the current image frame data. The compensated current image frame data may then be supplied to the electronic display to reduce or eliminate the effects of hysteresis on the displayed image.

  • Publication number: 20210021172
    Abstract: A kinetic energy recovery system with flywheel includes a cascade flywheel doubly-fed electric machine. The cascade flywheel doubly-fed electric machine has a stator end coil, a rotor end coil and a flywheel. The flywheel can store kinetic energy by increasing speed or releasing kinetic energy by decreasing speed. A control circuit has an inverter, a rectifier and a DC bus connecting the inverter and the rectifier. The inverter is used to supply alternating current to the rotor end coil. The rectifier has an AC end connected to the stator end coil through an AC bus. The rectifier converts alternating current to direct current, so that the inverter can draw power from the DC bus. An electric motor has a phase coil connected to the AC bus. When the cascaded flywheel double-fed electric machine decelerates, the kinetic energy recovery system with flywheel will convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.

  • Publication number: 20180082631
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for adjusting image display on an electronic display by predicting a temperature change of the electronic display due to heat-producing components near the display or due to changes in content. An electronic device may include an electronic display and processing circuitry. The electronic display may include pixels with behaviors that vary with temperature. As such, the processing circuitry may generate image data to send to the electronic display and adjust the image data or vary an operation of the electronic display based at least in part on a predicted temperature effect on at least part of the active area of the electronic display. The processing circuitry may determine the predicted temperature effect at least in part due to a first heat producing component or changes in content of the image data.

  • Publication number: 20180075798
    Abstract: A mobile electronic device includes a display having a pixel and processing circuitry separate from but communicatively coupled to the display. The processing circuitry prepares image data to send to the pixel and adjusts the image data to compensate for operational variations of the display based on feedback received from the display that describes a present operational behavior of the pixel. The mobile electronic device also includes additional electronic components that affect the present operational behavior of the pixel depending on present operational behavior of the additional electronic components.
