  • Display system with finger sensing
    Patent number: 11960683
    Abstract: A display system for sensing a finger of a user applied to the display system includes a display panel; a sensor for sensing the finger; a sensing light source configured to emit a first light having a first wavelength W1; and a reflective polarizer disposed between the display panel and the sensor. For a substantially normally incident light, an optical transmittance of the reflective polarizer versus wavelength for a first polarization state has a band edge such that for a first wavelength range extending from a smaller wavelength L1 to a greater wavelength L2 and including W1, where 30 nm?L2?L1?50 nm and L1 is greater than and within about 20 nm of a wavelength L3 corresponding to an optical transmittance of about 50% along the band edge, the optical transmittance has an average of greater than about 75%.

  • Manufacturing method for integrating a shunt resistor into a semiconductor package
    Patent number: 8129228
    Abstract: An integrated circuit package that comprises a lead frame, an integrated circuit located on the lead frame and a shunt resistor coupled to the lead frame and to the integrated circuit. The shunt resistor has a lower temperature coefficient of resistance than the lead frame, and the lead frame has a lower resistivity than the shunt resistor. The shunt resistor has a low-resistance coupling to external leads of the lead frame, or, the shunt resistor has its own integrated external leads.

  • Method and system for rapidly starting up an IEEE 1394 network
    Patent number: 7533203
    Abstract: According to one embodiment of the invention, a network system for carrying control data between a controller and a device to be controlled is provided. The network system comprises a bus system operable to carry data between the controller and the device according to an IEEE 1394 standard. The IEEE 1394 standard defines a start up operation that includes one or more sequences. The bus system is also operable to perform a modified start up operation that excludes at least one of the sequences of the start up operation defined by the IEEE 1394 standard.
