  • Publication number: 20240097666
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method driving an actuator component that drives movement of a movable part relative to a support structure, an image sensor fixed relative to the movable part or the support structure. The image sensor carries out CDS so as to read, offset in time by a sampling period, a reference signal and a light-sensing signal, and outputs a sync signal prior to CDS. The method comprises receiving the sync signal; generating PWM control signals at a PWM frequency substantially equal to an integer multiple of the reciprocal of the sampling period; during a sensing interval, suspending generating PWM control signals to drive the actuator component; and scheduling the sensing interval to start a time delay after receiving the sync signal, such that the sensing interval overlaps with both or neither of a duration of reading the reference signal and a substantially equal duration of reading the light-sensing signal by the image sensor.

  • Patent number: 10208227
    Abstract: Rotational cast polyurethane composition prepared from a prepolymer composition comprising: a) an isocyanate-terminated polyurethane prepolymer; and b) a curative agent comprising i) a polyol; ii) an aromatic diamine; iii) a thixotropic aliphatic amine; and iv) a thixotropic colloidal additive, wherein the prepolymer comprises a product produce by the reaction of a polyol with an organic diisocyanate monomer comprising 4,4?-diisocyanato diphenylmethane (MDI), and which prepolymer comprises less than 1.0% by weight of free MDI monomer, based on the toal weight of the prepolymer, exhibits a range of enhanced physical properties compared to those obtained from prepolymers comprising a higher level of free MDI monomer.
