  • Patent number: 10157571
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a display panel, a method for driving the same and a display device. A pixel circuit of the display panel includes a storage capacitor, a driving transistor, an initialization module configured to apply an initial voltage to a first end of the storage capacitor via a current-level gate scanning line within an initialization time period, a compensation module, a data writing module, a resetting module configured to enable the current-level gate scanning line to be electrically connected to a second end of the storage capacitor within a light-emitting time period, and a light-emitting control module. The driving transistor is in an on state within the light-emitting time period, so as to drive a light-emitting element to emit light.

  • Patent number: 9097325
    Abstract: A motorized drive system and method for articulating an articulated joint having a motor and an elastic cable. The elastic cable is operatively connected to both the motor and the articulated joint such that the motor articulates the joint via the elastic cable. In addition, the elastic cable is adapted to be sufficiently elastic such that the motorized drive system is configured to use one motor for each degree of freedom through which the articulated joint moves.

  • Patent number: 8761966
    Abstract: A six degree-of-freedom trajectory linearization controller (TLC) architecture (30) for a fixed-wing aircraft (46) is set forth. The TLC architecture (30) calculates nominal force and moment commands by dynamic inversion of the nonlinear equations of motion. A linear time-varying (LTV) tracking error regulator provides exponential stability of the tracking error dynamics and robustness to model uncertainty and error. The basic control loop includes a closed-loop, LTV stabilizing controller (12), a pseudo-inverse plant model (14), and a nonlinear plant model(16). Four of the basic control loops (34, 36, 40, 42) are nested to form the TLC architecture (30).
