  • Patent number: 8371160
    Abstract: A piezoresistive sensor assembly is provided that has a flex circuit having at least one air flow aperture formed therein. A sensor die is coupled to an absolute support and the flex circuit. The sensor die has a diaphragm that deflects in response to air flow that flows through the air flow aperture and is incident on the diaphragm. The sensor die includes one or more gages positioned on or in the diaphragm.

  • Publication number: 20040100426
    Abstract: A present invention field emission display brightness compensation system and method is capable of providing uniform display correction. In one present compensation system and method a masking process is utilized that adjusts the emissions for a particular area. In one exemplary implementation, the relative value of a pixel driver voltage is adjusted to correspond to a base brightness area. For example, an emitter uniformity area adjustment table is utilized to adjust the voltage value of the emitters. An emitter uniformity area adjustment table provides a correlation between a pixel location and a brightness level adjustment. The emitter uniformity area adjustment tables are utilized to create a software filtering mask that provides compensation for uniformity differences between different spots or areas in the display.
