  • Publication number: 20160359444
    Abstract: The present disclosure illustrates a motor speed curve control circuit. The motor speed curve control circuit is configured for adjusting a speed of a motor according to a motor speed curve. The motor speed curve control circuit comprises a divider resistor module, an analog-to-digital converter and an arithmetic unit. The resistor module is configured for generating at least one turning-point voltage. The turning-point voltage is used to adjust a slope of the motor speed curve. The analog-to-digital converter converts the turning-point voltage to digital form. The arithmetic unit sets a speed associated with the turning-point voltage corresponding to a first preset duty cycle in the motor speed curve, such that the motor speed curve becomes linear. The arithmetic unit generates a second pulse width modulation signal according to the adjusted motor speed curve and a first pulse width modulation signal to drive the motor.

  • Publication number: 20160334658
    Abstract: A display has an array of pixels controlled by display driver circuitry. Gate driver circuitry supplies gate line signals to rows of the pixels. The pixels may be liquid crystal display pixels. Each pixel may have a common electrode voltage terminal. The display may have a transparent conductive film that forms a common electrode voltage layer that overlaps that array and that is shorted to the common electrode voltage terminals of the pixels. Metal common electrode voltage lines may run across the transparent conductive film to reduce resistance. Metal common electrode voltage paths that are coupled to the metal common electrode voltage lines may run along the left and right edge of the display. Common electrode voltage compensation circuits may receive feedback from the metal common electrode voltage paths. There may be two or more common electrode voltage compensation circuits for both the left and right edges of the display.

  • Publication number: 20160321975
    Abstract: A display may have a first stage such as a color liquid crystal display stage and a second stage such as a monochromatic liquid crystal display stage that are coupled in tandem so that light from a backlight passes through both stages. The pixel pitch of the second stage may be greater than the pixel pitch of the first stage to ease alignment tolerances and reduce image processing complexity. The first stage may be provided with straight black masking strips, whereas the second stage may be provided with angled zigzagging black masking strips. The angle of the zigzagging black masking strips and the ratio of the pixel pitch of the second stage to that of the first stage may be selected to maximize optical transmittance while minimizing Moire effects.

  • Publication number: 20160098144
    Abstract: A display may have an array of pixels arranged in rows and columns. Each pixel may have a transistor for controlling the amount of output light associated with that pixel. The transistors may be thin-film transistors having active areas, first and second source-drain terminals, and gates. Gate lines may be used to distribute gate control signals to the gates of the transistors in each row. Data lines that run perpendicular to the gate lines may be used to distribute image data along columns of pixels. The gate lines may be connected to gate line extensions that run parallel to the data lines. The data lines may each overlap a respective one of the gate line extensions. Vias may be used to connect the gate line extensions to the gate lines. The gate line extensions may all have the same length.

  • Publication number: 20150053649
    Abstract: A wire fusing apparatus including a first body having a first surface, a second body having a second surface, and a heating unit is provided. The second body is pivoted to the first body to rotate relatively to the first body enabling the first and second bodies to be in an expanded or a closed state. When the first and second bodies are in the closed state, the first and second surfaces define a closed containing groove for containing two independent wires butt jointed with each other. The first surface, the second surface and the containing groove each has a heat-conducting region, and the heat-conducting regions contact each other when the first and second bodies are in the closed state. The heating unit disposed on the first or second body contacts one of the heat-conducting regions for heat-fusing a butt-jointing point of the wires to form a fused wire.

    Abstract: An embodiment disclosed a system for collaborative positioning calibration, comprising at least one reference station and at least one client. The reference station uses a known position and a satellite signal transmitted by at least one satellite to compute a pseudo-range difference of the reference station position and the satellite position, and then broadcasts an area calibration data including at least one pseudo-range difference to at least one client. Based on the area calibration data, the client computes at least one pseudo-range calibration data and outputs a calibrated position of global positioning system.
