Abstract: A method of driving a pixel array includes providing a ramp signal to one or more columns of the pixel array. For each cycle of the ramp signal, the method further includes providing a first row driving signal to at least a first row of the pixel array and a second row driving signal to a second row of the pixel array. A pixel array driver may include a ramp signal generator configured to produce a ramp signal, a first amplifier configured to receive the ramp signal and produce a first amplified ramp signal, and a second amplifier configured to receive the ramp signal and produce a second amplified ramp signal. The first amplified ramp signal may be electrically connected to a first set of pixels of a pixel array, and the second amplified ramp signal may be electrically connected to a second set of pixels of the pixel array.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a hollow drive shaft for a vehicle may include swaging one of a first hollow tube and a second hollow tube having a same diameter to reduce an outer diameter thereof and thus allow the swaged hollow tube to be assembled in a remaining hollow tube of the first hollow tube and the second hollow tube, assembling the hollow tube that is reduced in outer diameter in the remaining hollow tube, thereby forming a hollow shaft, and joining first and second stems to both sides of the hollow shaft, respectively.

Abstract: A propeller shaft with a locking device includes a locking device for selectively coupling an exterior hub and an interior hub thereof. The propeller shaft has a structure that enables sliding between the interior and exterior hubs including a spline portion while the locking device is released by the load during a collision.

Abstract: An active engine mounting device is provided. The active engine mounting device includes upper and lower liquid chambers partitioned by a valve unit and adjusts a vibration and a load input from an engine in response to a driving condition while a fluid passes through the valve unit and attenuates the vibration and the load. The active engine mounting device includes an insulator that encloses a core integrally formed with a mounting bolt and elastically deformed based on the load applied to the core. A main case is disposed at a circumference of a lower end portion of the insulator. A diaphragm is disposed under the main case. The valve unit is configured to selectively pass the fluid through three channels based on operation of the valve. An actuator is disposed through an auxiliary case to drive the valve in an axial direction.

Abstract: A center bearing bush unit for a propeller shaft can effectively decrease the amount of large/small displacement that occurs in the propeller shaft during driving of a vehicle. A center bearing bush unit for a propeller shaft includes an inner pipe; an outer pipe disposed on a common axis as the inner pipe at the outside of the inner pipe; a cushion rubber attached between the inner and outer pipes, and having a plurality of voids disposed on the common axis; and a plurality of stoppers attached to the outer circumferential surface of the inner pipe while being spaced apart from the cushion rubber at a predetermined interval.

Abstract: The invention is a multi-microphone voice processing SoC primarily for head worn applications. It bypasses the use of conventional pre-amp voice CODEC (ADC/DAC) chips all together by replacing their functionality with digital MEMS microphone(s) and digital speaker driver (DSD). Functionality necessary for speech recognition such as noise/echo cancellation, speech compression, speech feature extraction and lossless speech transmission are also integrated into the SoC. One embodiment is a noise cancellation chip for wired, battery powered headsets and earphones, as smart-phone accessory. Another embodiment is as a wireless Bluetooth noise cancellation companion chip. The invention can be used in headwear, eyewear glass, mobile wearable computing, heavy duty military, aviation and industrial headsets and other speech recognition applications in noisy environments.
