  • Patent number: 10712189
    Abstract: A method serves for operating a measuring transducer of vibration-type having at least two oscillators, each of which is formed by a pair of measuring tubes, wherein the pairs of measuring tubes are arranged for parallel flow, wherein the two oscillators have mutually independent oscillator oscillations with mutually differing eigenfrequencies for corresponding oscillation modes. The method includes steps of determining a first value of a primary measurement variable, or of a variable derived therefrom, using the first oscillator, determining a second value of the primary measurement variable, or of a variable derived therefrom, using the second oscillator, checking an actual ratio between the first value and the second value by comparison with an expected ratio between the first value and the second value, and outputting a signal when the actual ratio does not correspond to the expected ratio.

  • Publication number: 20200202802
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a data transmission method, a timing controller, a source driver, and a data transmission system. The method includes: when the timing controller transmits data to the source driver at a speed n times a preset speed, the timing controller suspends transmission of valid data with the source driver after completing transmission of a first data packet; and the transmission of valid data with the source driver is resumed at a transmitting time of a second data packet; the first data packet and the second data packet each includes valid data of a row of sub-pixels, or each includes valid data of a frame. The present disclosure completes the transmission of the first data packet in advance by increasing the transmission speed, then suspends the data transmission, and resumes the data transmission at the transmitting time of the second data packet, thereby reducing the power consumption.

  • Patent number: 10671121
    Abstract: Electronic devices and accessory devices for electronic devices are described. In some instances, an accessory device includes a keyboard and a cover rotatable with respect to the keyboard. In some instances, an accessory device includes a back panel and a foldable cover rotatable with respect to the back panel. These accessory devices may include several magnetic elements designed to magnetically couple with, and retain, an electronic device without any additional mechanical or other interlocking devices. In this regard, the magnetic elements in the accessory devices provide an external magnetic field sufficiently strong enough to retain the electronic device, and can counter gravitational forces and/or the weight of the electronic device. However, some accessory devices include additional magnetic elements that provide an external magnetic field that repels magnetic elements in the electronic device. Also, the magnetic elements may also be used to hold different sections of the accessory device together.

  • Publication number: 20200143721
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a signal detection method and component, as well as a display device. The display device includes a timing controller and a source driver. The source driver receives a test code stream from the timing controller, which is obtained through encoding of an initial code stream by the timing controller, the initial code stream representing a test signal. The source driver decodes the test code stream. When the decoded code stream is different from the initial code stream, configuration information of the source driver is acquired. The configuration information is transmitted to the timing controller, and is adjusted according to reference information of the timing controller when it does not match with the reference information. The source driver receives adjusted configuration information transmitted by the timing controller, and then receives a subsequently transmitted signal according to the adjusted configuration information.
