  • Publication number: 20260058563
    Abstract: A system is provided that includes a diode bridge for rectifying an AC input voltage. A main switching power converter converts a rectified input voltage from the diode bridge into an output voltage. A flyback converter is coupled either to a pre-bridge node or a post-bridge node to receive an input voltage that is converted into a power supply voltage for a controller integrated circuit. The controller integrated circuit regulates both the output voltage and the power supply voltage.

    Abstract: An electroluminescent display device and a fabricating method thereof are provided. The device has a TFT layer, a first functional layer, an electroluminescent layer, a second functional layer, and a functional bar disposed sequentially. The device uses Seebeck effect of constituent material of p-type Bi2Te3 of the functional bar to absorb heat of the TFT layer for converting the heat into electric energy, thereby effectively reducing heat of the TFT layer, reducing aging of circuit and organic material, and improving life of the electroluminescent display device. A work function of p-type Bi2Te3 material of the functional bar is 5.3 eV. An electroluminescent material has a HOMO energy level ranging from 5 to 6 eV. Under a driving of a thermoelectromotive force, majority carriers (holes) in the constituent material of p-type Bi2Te3, are injected into the electroluminescent layer to improve a carrier concentration therein, thereby improving emission luminance of the electroluminescent display device.

  • Publication number: 20070033011
    Abstract: This invention discloses a method of frequency band group partition for wideband audio codec. It can determine the initial frequency band group partition within the whole effective range of frequency bands. It further subdivides frequency band groups based on the initial partition. Instead of the iteration-based algorithm, this invention applies the 1-from-2 and 1-from-3 criterions to accomplish the fast partition with at most 3 subdivisions. This invention implements the fast partition for frequency band group without the loss of the coding efficiency. By applying this fast partition method, one can greatly reduce the computational complexity and significantly improve the coding performance.
