  • Publication number: 20240322063
    Abstract: An electro-optically controlled active-matrix system comprises a system substrate, row wires extending in a row direction disposed on the system substrate, a row controller providing a row electrical signal to each row wire, column light-pipes extending in a column direction disposed on the system substrate, a column controller providing a column optical signal to each column light-pipe, and pixels disposed over the system substrate. Each pixel can comprise a pixel circuit that is uniquely responsive to a row wire and to a column light-pipe, the pixel circuit receiving the row electrical signal from the row wire and receiving the column optical signal from the column light-pipe. In some embodiments, column wires carrying column electrical signals extend in a column direction over the system substrate and the pixel circuit is capacitively coupled to the row wire, the column wire, or both.

  • Patent number: 12100306
    Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to efficient computer-storage and computer-rendering of obstacle data in the computer-generated map view. In one example, one or more vector tiles collectively representing a geographic region are received. Each of the one or more vector tiles represents a sub-region of the geographic region. Obstacle data for one or more obstacles in the geographic region is received. The obstacle data defines a location of each of the one or more obstacles in relation to a local origin of the vector tile representing the sub-region where the obstacle is geographically located. A map view is rendered for visual presentation via a display. The map view includes the geographic region represented by the one or more vector tiles and indicating the one or more obstacles.

  • Patent number: 12081747
    Abstract: A method of filtering reconstructed video data including inputting a reconstructed luma picture sample array, setting a luma location corresponding to a current chroma sample to a location defined by a horizontal location in the chroma sample multiplied by a sub-width value and a vertical location in the chroma sample multiplied by a sub-height value, deriving luma sample locations inside the reconstructed luma picture sample array by using the luma location, and deriving a variable by using cross-component filter coefficients and the reconstructed luma picture sample array defined by at least one of the luma sample locations. The variable is modified by using a current chroma block of samples.

  • Publication number: 20240292543
    Abstract: A device source wafer includes a wafer substrate, devices formed on or in the wafer substrate at a location on the wafer substrate, and test structures disposed on the wafer substrate connected to some but not all of the devices. The devices include a first device disposed at a first location and a second device disposed at a second different location on the wafer substrate. The test structures include at least a first test structure connected to the first device and a second test structure connected to the second device. The first test structure is adapted to measuring a characteristic of the first device and the second test structure is adapted to measuring the characteristic of the second device. An estimated characteristic of unmeasured devices is derived from the first and second device locations and measured characteristics and the device is selected based on the estimated characteristic.

  • Patent number: 12074583
    Abstract: A method of printing comprises providing a component source wafer comprising components, a transfer device, and a patterned substrate. The patterned substrate comprises substrate posts that extend from a surface of the patterned substrate. Components are picked up from the component source wafer by adhering the components to the transfer device. One or more of the picked-up components are printed to the patterned substrate by disposing each of the one or more picked-up components onto one of the substrate posts, thereby providing one or more printed components in a printed structure.
